Bullet Proof Review: Vinnie Jones Delivers Brass Knuckle Beat Downs

Vinnie Jones takes scowling and grimacing to new heights as he pummels lackeys to a pulp with brass knuckles. Bullet Proof has the veteran actor playing a ruthless drug lord commanding a gang of face-tattooed goons. He's chasing down a cheeky thief who stole his money, and drumroll please, pregnant wife in the escape. Bullet Proof initially gets adrenaline pumping with non-stop chases, gunplay, and whiplash camera work. You root for the likable protagonists to abscond with the ill-gotten spoils. A second act lull in the action brings the narrative to a crawl. The film picks up speed for the climax but never regains its original footing.To get more news about bulletproof zone, you can visit bulletproofboxs.com official website.

James C. Clayton stars and directs as the unnamed thief. He sneaks into a junkyard where the baddies stash guns and loads of cash. Bullets fly as he grabs the loot and steals a car. His timing sucks as another vehicle crashes into him. The thief pistol whips the driver then speeds off in that car. He pulls over on the highway to bandage a wound. The situation becomes more complex when he discovers the pregnant Mia (Lina Lecompte) hiding in the trunk.

Temple (Jones) arrives at the junkyard's aftermath. He's irate at the robbery but more concerned about Mia's betrayal. A beat down of the driver reveals Mia's desire to leave him. She won't raise her child with a brutal father. Temple calls in Skinny (Danny Mac) and his top enforcer, the Frenchman (Janvier Katabarwa), to recover his dear property. Meanwhile, the thief realizes that Mia heard his getaway plan. They become unlikely partners with Temple and his thugs hot on their trail.
Bullet Proof starts strong by wholly embracing its run and gun themes. Clayton, a character actor in his feature directorial debut, takes a page from Guy Ritchie's playbook with quick edits and sharp-angled shots. He effectively stages an action-packed open. I also got a kick out of the groovy score and soundtrack. Techno beats pound with classic rock as the junkyard becomes a war zone. The thief's wisecracking responses adds a tinge of comedy to the carnage.

Clayton and Lecompte have chemistry when the narrative gains traction. Fate throws them together at the wrong moment. The thief wants his money but feels guilty about Mia's situation. She's got ample reasons to run from Temple's wrath. The escape goes predictably awry when they have to stop at a clinic for pregnancy issues. It's not unrealistic to have every scumbag searching for them. But Bullet Proof loses steam with a subplot sidetrack about punks trying to steal the money. Clayton needed to stick with a pedal-to-the-metal philosophy. The second act has too much unnecessary filler.

Bullet Proof should only be viewed as a pure B-movie actioner. There's entertainment value as a check your brain at the door experience. Temple and the butt-kicking Frenchman work as sadistic antagonists. They leave a swath of bodies with indiscriminate killing. Clayton shows some promise here. I'm curious how he'd do with a bigger budget and better script.

Bullet Proof was previously titled Death Pursuit. It's produced by IndustryWorks Studios, Play by Play Entertainment, Peacemaker Filmworks, RAW Camera Company, Greendale Productions, and Grindstone Entertainment Group. Bullet Proof is currently available on demand and theatrically from Lionsgate.

Ariel Rider X-Class 52V e-bike review

The Ariel Rider X-Class 52V e-bike is one of those electric bikes that just straight up looks like it needs to be ridden. Everything about it screams, "Hop on and rip it!” so that’s exactly what I did.To get more news about48v VS 52v ebike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

If there’s one thing Ariel Rider knows how to do well, it’s making fun e-bikes.

There are plenty of other companies out there making high utility e-bikes, or value-priced e-bikes, or any other niche/specialty.

And while the Ariel Rider team can compete there as well, if you only allowed me one word to describe this e-bike, I could do it in three letters.
You’ve seriously got to check out my ride video below to see the Ariel Rider X-Class 52V in action. And don’t forget to keep scrolling to read the rest of my review!

Sure, it’s got a big ol’ chunky motor in back, but it’s just a single motor. The Ariel Rider D-Class I tested last year was crazy powerful because it had two motors. But the Ariel Rider X Class still offers tons of oomph with even the single motor.

That’s thanks to its 1 kW continuous power rating that actually peaks at 2 kW. For those keeping score at home, that’s a lot of power in one e-bike.

It’s enough to make this thing really fly. I made it up to a top speed of around 36 mph (58 km/h) with the bike unlocked, though I should point out that it arrived in Class 2 mode with a 20 mph (32 km/h) limit.

When it comes to riding in the road with cars, faster e-bikes always feel safer to me. I really appreciated the higher speed of the X-Class 52V here because I could keep up with cars for the most part. That meant I wasn’t getting passed on the side of the road by drivers constantly buzzing my left handlebar.
And with nearly a full kilowatt-hour of battery capacity (52V 18Ah), I got surprisingly good range out of the bike, too. You’ll basically never see the optimistic 75 mile (120 km) range that Ariel Rider claims, since that would require you to keep the bike in the lowest pedal assist mode. With moderate throttle use I found that 25-30 miles (48-ish km) of range was doable. Staying at top speed will drop that range, while easing off the throttle and pedaling a bit will increase it.

When it comes to pedaling, it’s possible – believe it or not. But it’s not the best pedal assist e-bike. It’s not that the pedal assist doesn’t work. It works well. The issue is the bike’s geometry. It’s just not set up for comfortable pedaling. The seat isn’t adjustable, so you wind up with high knees. It can fit a wide range of riders just sitting on it and throttling along, but the pedal geometry just isn’t there to make it a good pedaling bike.
If I had to pedal the bike home, I could do it. But it’s not comfortable for long periods of time. If you’re looking for a fitness e-bike, this ain’t the one. Get something else.

If you’re sticking to the throttle, though, the bike is plenty comfortable. That cushy seat felt great to me, and there’s also the option to swap on a longer bench seat that can fit two riders. There are even super beefy passenger foot pegs so your pillion rider has a comfortable place to put his or her feet.
I commented on the D-Class’s somewhat wimpy foot pegs when I reviewed it last year, and Ariel Rider let me know they were replacing them with stronger foot pegs.

This is the first time I’ve tested the new model of foot pegs and I can confirm: Ariel Rider came through in a big way.
One last note about comfort, but it’s a big one: The X-Class has a very forward-leaning seating position.

Gone are the D-Class’s high handlebars. They’ve been swapped for low bars on the X-Class, giving a more cafe racer ride stance.

It’s super sporty, but it might not be everyone’s cup of tea. Fortunately, there is an adjustable stem riser that allows you to lift up the bars and bring them back in by a few inches if you’d like. You can see what I mean in my video review above.

7 Tips to Extend Your E-Bike Battery’s Life

What’s the real magic behind electric bikes? The battery. Batteries power virtually every part of your e-bike, fueling your most epic adventures and riding memories. It’s no surprise they’re one of the most important components on an electric bike. And why it’s SO important to keep your battery in tip-top shape. Whether you’re thinking of buying an e-bike or are already a seasoned e-biker, check out these battery health tips to enjoy your bike for years to come.To get more news about ebike battery charging, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

1. Hold It Sparky!
The safest way to charge is by first connecting the charger to the battery and THEN plugging it into the wall. This helps you get a proper connection before electricity starts flowing and prevents arcing. All Juiced batteries can be charged on or off the bike; it's totally up to you.

2. The Right Environment
Charge your battery in a dry, clean, and temperate area. Never charge in a damp or cluttered environment. Messy garages are the cause of many household accidents, so if it's a concern it may be time for some seasonal cleaning or charge the battery in a less cluttered location.

3. Top It Off
The best time to charge your bike is right before your ride. Never charge right after riding! You want to wait at least 30 minutes before charging to allow the battery to cool down. Remember to always check your voltage on your LCD before you roll out.
4. Set It, but Don’t Forget It
Set a timer to ensure you don’t forget to unplug the battery. You can use your cell phone to set a timer or even pick up an outlet timer at any hardware store. When the charger goes from red to green your battery is fully charged and you should unplug it. Unplug the charger from the wall and then unplug the charger from the battery.

5. Hibernation
If you’re not riding during the winter, it’s important to store your battery inside and at the right charge level. Keep your charge at 50% capacity when storing. The battery will self-discharge over time so if you’re not riding for two months or more be sure to check the charge every so often and charge back up to 50% when needed.
6. Safe Travels
Electric bikes are the ideal travel companion but remember to remove your battery from the frame using the key whenever transporting on a rack or truck bed. Water can damage your model’s electrical components, so be sure you use a waterproof cover while transporting if the forecast is rainy.

7. The 80/20 Rule
Ideally you want to keep your battery between 80% and 20% voltage. Use our voltage vs. percentage chart to know where your battery falls before charging. Check the voltage on your LCD or use our battery charge monitor to get an accurate read of how much power you are putting back into your battery every time!
Love your new e-bike? Make sure you show your love by taking care of your battery. In exchange, your battery will love you back with a longer life and more riding miles! Use these helpful tips to avoid range loss and get the most smiles out of your ride. For additional information on how to extend your battery life check out our video on battery health.

Marvels of Engineering (Fastest Bike in the World – Top 5)

Everyone wants to own fastest bike in the world but very few of them have these super bikes. Here I am going to discuss about the top 5 fastest bike in the world which is known for their excellent speed. These bike increases the personality of the rider. They provide us the feeling of not to stop.To get more news about fastest ebike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

5. Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird – top speed: 190 mph The blackbird is a revival bike that left its glorious past to make a better one. With some little tweaks to the previous one launched in 1996, its back to its former glory, if not better. Packing an 1137 CC liquid cooled inline four cylindered engine, speed is at its beck and call. The higher the RPM the smoother this bike can go. Hitting 0-60 in about 2.8 seconds, the Honda CBR 1100XX Blackbird is a precision instrument meant for speed. What it may lack in ride quality it makes up for in build and reliability. It hits it the max power of 153 HP at 10000 RPM.
4. Kawasaki Ninja H2R – top speed: 222 mph

This one is another beast in the form of a bike. With a 998CC liquid cooled, 4 stroke , in-line four, DOHC, 16-valve engine this thing can go fast, and we mean fast! Due to its speed, Kawasaki managed to install an electronic rider support suite. It has the KTRC (Kawasaki Traction Control), KIBS (Kawasaki Intelligent anti-lock Brake System), KEBC (Kawasaki Engine Brake Control) and KLCM (Kawasaki Launch Control Mode). These, apart from protection, keep the bike running smooth. The Kawasaki Ninja H2R hits 60 in a mere 2.5 seconds. Now that is fast! The bike hits it max power of 197.3 BHP at 11,000 RPM.
3. MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K – top speed: 227 mph
This bike is one of the most powerful production motorcycles. This beauty features the Rolls-Royce 250-C18 turbo shaft engine with a 2-speed semi-automatic transmission. This bike can get from 0-60 in just 2.5 seconds. That’s probably the time you took to finish reading this sentence at the normal pace of reading. Go ahead, try it. The MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K hits its max power of 320 HP at 52000 RPM.
2. Suzuki Hayabusa – top speed: 248 mph
1340cc. It is a four-cylinder, short-stroke, DOHC, 16-valve engine that truly lives up to its hype. The Suzuki Dual Throttle Valve ensures peak engine performance at all times. This bike gives you the leverage to tweak its settings to its optimal with the ride-by-wire system combined with the Suzuki Drive Mode Selector. The Suzuki Hayabusa hits 0-60 in 2.6 seconds and its clutch assists system, i.e. the Suzuki Clutch Assist System, helps reduce back torque. It hits its max power of 197 HP at 6750 RPM.
1. Dodge Tomahawk – top speed: 350 mph Even cars have a hard time keeping up with such raw speed. This superbike carries within it an 8277CC 10 valve, four stroke engine that is simply a dream. The dodge tomahawk has four wheels and each of them has its own suspension. Also, this is the same engine found in the Dodge Viper, (8.3-liter V10 Dodge Viper SRT10). The transmission on this bike is a two-speed manual toe shift and uses the traditional chain and sprocket system. The place that was supposed to house the headlights is actually a throttle intake and the bike also has a cooling system placed behind the intake manifold. The Dodge Tomahawk has no rival to this day, however, due to its four wheels and a few other reasons the bike isn’t certified for legal use in the USA. It can clock 0-60 somewhere in between 1.75 – 2.5 seconds and hits its max power of 500 HP at 5600 RPM.

E-bikes are affordable, practical and good for the planet

America has hosted its fair share of heavyweight transportation fights.To get more news about Fat Tire Electric Bikes, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Canals gave way to freight trains. Freight trains gave way to big rigs. Horses gave way to cars.

In one corner are those who swear, "Yes." They'll tell you on a cost-per-mile equivalent, bicycles powered by electric motors can get thousands of miles to the gallon compared to a typical gas-powered car. E-bikes also efficiently transport a rider from point A to B with zero carbon emissions, similar to an electric car but at a fraction of the price. They are the future, proponents say. Just wait and see.

"For years I’ve been saying the e-bike is going to be as ubiquitous as the smartphone,” said Mike Radenbaugh, founder and CEO of Rad Power Bikes, the largest U.S.-based e-bike company. "Everything we’re doing is to create a true car replacement … to help stoke this consumer revolution that’s underway but has not hit the tipping point yet.”
In the other corner are no shortage of detractors. Some cite safety; studies suggest higher rates of serious injury for e-bike riders. Others note environmental concerns about battery production and disposal. Perhaps most prominent are those who say e-bikes just don't fit in on American roadways, where their typical top speeds of about 20 mph can irritate slower pedal-powered bicyclists and faster car drivers alike.
E-bike sales are soaring
In 2001, the two-wheeled, all-electric, self-balancing Segway launched. At the time, inventor Dean Kamen delivered an infamous prediction to Time magazine that the vehicle would "be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy.”

That never came to pass. By the time Segways fell out of production two years ago, just 140,000 units had been sold, Fast Company reported.
The e-bike has already vastly surpassed those figures. Buoyed by COVID-19 lockdowns and high gas prices, 880,000 e-bikes were imported into the United States in 2021 alone, according to the Light Electric Vehicle Association (LEVA), a trade group that promotes "micromobility” devices. Imports are expected to ease just slightly in 2022 to 750,000, meaning there will still be millions of the vehicles on U.S. roads and trails.

Ed Benjamin, founder and chairman of LEVA, believes the ceiling could be much higher. He’s traveled the world as a professional in the e-bike space since the 1990s and has come to see them dominate the landscape in East Asian and European cities. He calculates there are more than 350 million in use worldwide.

"People ask me, ‘Is (a transformation) ever going to happen?’ and I kind of chuckle,” Benjamin said. "It’s been happening, but in the United States we’re not used to it.”

To Benjamin, the fact that populations worldwide are trending toward cities, including in the U.S., means that electric bikes, scooters, skateboards and similar devices aren’t going anywhere. Even as some device-sharing experiments with e-scooters petered out in U.S. cities in recent years, overall sales are expected to continue to grow.

"Micromobility is a reality and it’s becoming more of one. The need is being established by billions of human beings moving into ever-denser cities. That’s the underlying fact,” he added.

In the U.S., transportation enthusiasts and climate change experts mostly champion the technology. Ari Matusiak, CEO of Rewiring America, a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit promoting electrification of the energy and transportation sectors, sees e-bikes and similar technology as crucial to reducing carbon dioxide emissions and slowing climate change.

The country’s transportation sector, still dominated by gas-powered cars, is the largest emitter of greenhouse gasses. The transition to electric cars and trucks will help lower emissions, but those vehicles are still relatively expensive and come with significant consumer reservations about where and how to charge.

Waterloo-developed mental health first aid kits give accessible support

A mental health support kit developed by a Waterloo woman has been widely distributed among university students, workplaces and veterans since its launch in 2015.To get more news about ifaks, you can visit rusuntacmed.com official website.

The PASS kit was created by Tina Chan, now a master's student at the University of Waterloo's public health and health systems graduate program, when she saw a need to help people get more immediate access to support in times of struggle.

"The main inspiration of it is that when someone has symptoms of a panic attack coming on, or symptoms of anxiety, we don't usually have the information on hand," Chan told CBC News. "And information on your phone is still one step too far removed."The newest iteration of the kit includes a stress star, ear plugs, a sleeping mask, a pack of gum and a deck of 25 cards, each with specific steps a person can take if they are experiencing symptoms.

The advice is based on research in scientific journals. One example is a box breathing technique to help users calm down.

"I have been receiving testimonials from students," said Chan, "They would see their roommate having a struggle and they would actually bring out the cards and they would discuss that together."The kit is also a part of the Mental Health First Aid certification course run in Waterloo every month by Mega Health at Work.

Robin Bender is the founder and she said her clients have found the kits to be useful and purchased them for family and friends after the workshop.Through Bender's request, Chan has also created a set of cards that are specific to post-traumatic stress disorder for a veterans event Bender was a part of in summer 2017.

"In those moments where [veterans] are dissociating or whatever they're experiencing, to have something in front of you that you can go to and utilize is extremely beneficial," Bender said.Now, Chan is working to develop a new kit for people who have PTSD because it's an "area that really needs support right now."

While the kits don't equate seeing a health professional, Bender said it's a resource that's "simple to carry and use" without having to rely on access to the internet or the person's counsellor or psychiatrist.

"People who are struggling with mental illness, that's all they want. All they want to do is get out of how they're currently feeling and feel better, so that's what the tool gives them."

NUMARK DONATE FIRST AID KITS TO UGANDA

Numark have donated over 2,500 of their first aid kits to charity. With thanks to Numark member Christine Tomlinson owner of Nash pharmacy in Bolton and her son Krishnan the people in Garuga, Uganda have access to first aid supplies.To get more news about ifak pouches, you can visit rusuntacmed.com official website.

Christine and her family are dedicated to the charity work they do for the less fortunate. During a monthly phone call with the Numark telesales team, Christine mentioned her son was on his way to Uganda and asked if we had any products to support people in need. We were delighted to be able to donate stock of our first aid kits to the people of Garuga as we knew it was going to a great cause and would help a lot of people in the process.

"My son Krishnan showed interest in charity work early in 2017, as a family we have supported him every step of the way, his efforts include providing clothes, shoes, food and stationary. PHOENIX has also supported my son’s charity work by providing a range of products which have gone on to help lots of people. This time, my son wanted to fundraise his charity Road2Uganda to support the people of Garuga.

"Krishnan started fundraising to push himself to do more for good causes and also help build a school for children. He started by running the distance of four marathons in four days. In total, the Road2Uganda marathon was 115 miles long where all proceeds went to building a junior school to educate over 140 children per term. As every mother would, I was with him through the marathon providing essentials such as bandages, much needed fluids and of course moral support.

"The first aid kits have gone to a great cause where many young people in need have benefited. Thank you to Numark for supporting such a great cause.”

"In these times of great uncertainty of uproot and turmoil across many of the poorest regions of the world, it is more important than ever that we look out for others and do all we can to help our fellow humans.”- Krishnan

Fifth CIIE writes story of win-win cooperation

It was joined by over 2,800 exhibitors from 127 countries and regions, and 66 countries and three international organizations took part in the country exhibition. All these numbers exceeded those in the previous year.To get more news about CIIE Shanghai 2022, you can visit shine news official website.

A total of $73.52 billion worth of tentative deals were reached for one-year purchases of goods and services, up 3.9 percent from a year ago.

Apart from cutting-edge innovations, the fifth CIIE also featured exhibits that were handy and practical, manifesting China's sense of responsibility in implementing the Global Development Initiative and promoting the common development of the world.

The CIIE is not only a platform for big names but also one that cares about enterprises from the least developed countries. Every year, the event would provide the latter with free exhibition booths to assist them selling their food, traditional handicrafts, and tourism products to a wider audience. This year, the number of free exhibition booths for exhibitors from the least developed countries nearly doubled from a year ago.For the first time, Guinea-Bissau's cashew nuts were displayed at this year's CIIE. They attracted a number of merchants, though they were not in fancy packages. The export of cashew nuts is the primary source of income for most of the farmers in the African country, and the CIIE has established a platform that brings tangible benefits to them.

Guinea-Bissau's Ambassador to China, Antonio Serifo Embalo, told People's Daily that Guinea-Bissau hopes to attract more investors at the CIIE so as to better help the country's farmers increase their income and realize technological and industrial upgrades for the country.

The All Pakistan Commercial Exporters Association, attending the CIIE for the first time, displayed emeralds, Himalayan salt, Basmati rice, and other featured products. The association contacted the Pakistani Embassy and Consulates in China soon after it booked an exhibition booth, asking the latter to recommend featured Pakistani products.I hope Pakistani enterprises can find more opportunities in China through the CIIE," said Miao Lan who is responsible for the booth of the Pakistani association.

Over the past five years, the CIIE has turned many exhibits into commodities and exhibitors into investors. Through the exchange of ideas, it connects China and the rest of the world. It is a global public good shared by the whole world.Handmade alpaca toys produced by Peruvian enterprises have found their market in China through the CIIE, involving over 100 Peruvian families that designed and produced the toys in the trend of economic globalization. Besides, the CIIE also expanded the sales of coffee from Timor-Leste, chili from Rwanda, wool carpets from Afghanistan, soaps from Syria, honey from Zambia, and handicrafts from South Sudan.

It has turned the China market into a market for the world, a market shared by all and accessible to all.

It is reported that enterprises have already signed up for an exhibition area of more than 100,000 square meters for the sixth CIIE.

Shanghai expo attracts intl enterprises

With China creating more favorable conditions for global companies to grow in its vast, lucrative market, the annual China International Import Expo will help promote investment opportunities, executives at several multinational companies said.To get more news about CIIE, you can visit shine news official website.

This year's expo, which has been held in Shanghai every year since 2018, ran from Nov 5 to 10.

The executives said that the CIIE reflects the Chinese market's growing significance to the global economy and to its dual circulation growth paradigm — in which the domestic and international markets complement each other, with the domestic market as the focal point.

"For five years, the CIIE has not only served as the optimal choice for multinational companies to debut new products and pioneering technologies, but it has also witnessed the transition of many participants from exhibitors to investors," said Sheng Qiuping, China's vice-minister of commerce.

Once such transitions are consolidated, foreign companies will seek more trade, investment and cooperation opportunities. This will better enable China to reinforce its economic and trade ties with other economies, said Hong Junjie, vice-president of the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing.

Such positive sentiment is shared by Lars Eckerlein, general manager of ABB (China) Ltd, the local branch of Swiss technology company ABB Group, which has participated in all five CIIE events.

Eckerlein said that as a major global trade fair promoting globalization and openness, the CIIE is an important platform in which ABB can share its latest digital technologies and work with customers and partners toward high-quality growth and a more sustainable future.

The Swiss company's robotics mega factory will enter operation in Shanghai in December. It represents the next level of ABB's manufacturing technology and will deploy the latest manufacturing processes, including machine learning, as well as digital and collaborative solutions. It will be the group's most advanced automated and flexible factory, where robots will make robots.

With the outdoors market growing rapidly in China in recent years, French sporting goods retailer Decathlon has launched a number of innovative products, including more environmentally friendly mountain bikes, at the CIIEs to meet consumers' demands for home fitness, camping, kitesurfing and other emerging sports and activities.

Pascal Bizard, senior vice-president of Decathlon China, said that the CIIE has been witness to the company's growth in China in recent years. China is Decathlon's first overseas market outside of France with a whole industrial chain presence.

After seeing sales revenues register an increase of 20 percent year-on-year last year, Wilo Group, a German provider of pumps and pump systems and a two-time participant of the CIIE, will open an Industry 4.0 standard plant in Changzhou in Jiangsu province early next year. Its products will be sold in both the Chinese and international markets.

According to Lyman Tu, Wilo's vice-president for China and Southeast Asia, with the growing importance of the Chinese market — which became Wilo's second-largest last year — the company has announced plans to further invest in research and development and enlarge its product portfolio in China as part of its 2025 strategy.

The country's broad market prospects, integrated supply chain and improving the market environment are the main reasons behind Wilo's plans to expand its presence, he said, adding that China will likely become the group's largest market by 2023.

"These facts show that most investment decisions by global companies are based on market conditions and growth potential, and they are acutely aware that no economy can independently provide all the resources and innovation other markets need, or offer all the goods and services that consumers demand," said Xu Mingqi, a researcher with the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences.

Any one of these products can immediately help you better understand what’s going on in and around your home. Use them all and you’ll feel super-safe.
DIY home security systems exemplify the changing times. 75% of respondents whose security system was four years old or more said that their system was professionally installed, compared with fewer than one-third (31%) for newer systems. Over 90% of the respondents who have a Ring or SimpliSafe security system—the two most popular among our respondents—installed their systems without a pro.

The two top-performing companies are almost unprecedently evenly matched. We give the Readers’ Choice Award to SimpliSafe, which has won it now every year since we added this category in 2018 because it has more top satisfaction ratings. But both companies have good marks across the board and, in fact, tie on the two most important ratings: overall satisfaction and likelihood to recommend.

SimpliSafe and Ring (the latter Amazon owns) both earn overall satisfaction ratings of 8.8 on our scale from 0 (extremely dissatisfied) to 10 (extremely satisfied). The overall satisfaction rating is not an average of other satisfaction ratings. Instead, we base it on the respondents’ direct answer to the question, "Overall, how satisfied are you with your security system?” SimpliSafe’s overall satisfaction rating is up slightly from last year’s 8.7, while Ring improved from 8.6.
The two companies also receive identical marks of 9.1 this year for likelihood to recommend, a key measure of satisfaction. Again, this is a small improvement for SimpliSafe over its 9.0 last year, and a slightly bigger bump up for Ring from its 2021 rating of 8.9 on this measure. The companies also tie on satisfaction with ease of use (9.3) and satisfaction with window and door sensors (9.1).

SimpliSafe edges out Ring on several other measures. The biggest gaps are in satisfaction with customer service (9.1 to 8.6) and with technical support (also 9.1 to 8.6). Interestingly, while SimpliSafe rates better for system cost (9.0 to 8.6), it receives its lowest score on satisfaction with the cost of a monitoring subscription, where it only gets an 8.3 to Ring’s 8.9. It's not a requirement that your system is professionally monitored, but 90% of SimpliSafe respondents and 79% of Ring respondents do it.
It's clear from the responses that consumers have two excellent choices for whole-home protection. While we give the edge to SimpliSafe, Ring stacks up very well against it. We look forward to seeing how the two companies try to improve against their competition in the coming year.

Designing for the Robots as a Service Model

The robots as a service, or RaaS, business model is alive and well as a way of conserving upfront capital.To get more news about Robotics as a Service, you can visit glprobotics.com official website.

With the explosive growth in cloud-based storage, computing, and commerce, SaaS (software as a service) business models are already a fact of life in business.

The advantages are many, including more predictable costs, less upfront capital outlay and in many cases, easier and less costly deployment and maintenance and support costs.

Providers of SaaS solutions offer management, analytical, and other data-related services along with the base level services provided.

The robotics industry is no exception, with a number of companies also offering RaaS business models. From drones to perform surveys for agriculture and mobile telepresence robots used for security, to mobile robots for healthcare and more, many robotics suppliers are expanding their businesses.

Robots as a service enables them to lower the technical and financial barriers to implementation and deployment.

"The general trend among many technology providers is a long-term migration away from selling products to selling services beyond the usual incremental revenue from support, maintenance and upgrades charges,” said Dan Kara, practice director for robotics at research firm ABI Research. He will also be delivering a Market Forecast on the state of the robotics industry at RoboBusiness 2017.

"Services are recurrent revenue and are looked on favorably by both technology providers and the investment community,” he added. "Like the technology sector at large, suppliers of robotics technologies have adopted robotics-as-a-service business models, and this trend is accelerating.”For example, if the robot is mobile, you may want to include GPS/location tracking so that the provider can track (and perhaps monitor) the location of the robot, much like automotive companies track leased vehicles.

As the service provider is also likely going to be responsible for maintenance of the robot, monitoring the health of key components or subsystems of the robot will also likely be required. This requires communication capability back to the service provider.

In cases where uptime for the robot is a critical factor, or where access or repairs to a robot could be very expensive, designed-in redundancy for critical systems should also be considered where feasible.

Service providers can also enhance their offerings by providing metrics to help the client. For example, warehouse robots could be monitored for how and where inventory is being accessed within the warehouse, along with how long it takes to access the inventory.

This data could be used to optimize the location of higher-volume inventory within the warehouse, reducing access time and improving efficiency.

Robotics as a Service providers can take advantage of scalable cloud-based computing platforms to provide a wide range of computational power. By capturing and analyzing data gathered by robots in their environment, they can give valuable real-time insights into business operations. This cloud-based approach is viewed far more favorably by customers compared with purchasing hardware that they own and would need to maintain.

A decade of leggings controversy

As reported by the Washington Post, Maryann White, a woman who identified herself as a Catholic mother of four sons, caused a stir on the University of Notre Dame campus by writing a letter to the editor of the student newspaper. The letter, titled "The legging problem,” expresses her dismay at seeing college students in leggings at Mass on campus last fall. It has many incredible turns of phrase, such as, "I wonder why no one thinks it’s strange that the fashion industry has caused women to voluntarily expose their nether regions in this way,” and, "I thought of all the other men around and behind us who couldn’t help but see their behinds.”To get more news aboutFull Length Legging, you can visit destgjshop.com official website.

The letter also refers to leggings as "a problem only girls can solve,” and describes the women who wear them as exhibitionists forcing young boys to confront their "blackly naked rear ends.” In advocating that Notre Dame students lead the anti-leggings revolution, White asks, "Could you think of the mothers of sons the next time you go shopping and consider choosing jeans instead?”
In response, students at Notre Dame organized a super-casual protest: About one thousand students RSVP-ed to a Facebook event celebrating Leggings Day and agreed to wear leggings to class on Tuesday. PhD student Dani Green told the Washington Post that it was "difficult to tell” who was participating in the protest and who was just wearing leggings because they were wearing leggings. Some students also shared photos of their outfits on Twitter. (This one is actually bike shorts, but point communicated!)

If it all sounds familiar, that’s because the debate about athleisure as pants has popped up dozens and dozens of times. Leggings are never just leggings. Girls and women can never just wear them in peace, and complaints about them can never just be ignored — the extremely old, extremely prolonged conversation about what’s appropriate to wear and what’s appropriate to say about what other people are wearing always seems to become a national news story.
Most fashion bloggers will tell you that leggings first evoked opinions and commentary when they became one of actress and "it girl” Edie Sedgwick’s signature sartorial choices, most notoriously in a Vogue photo shoot in 1965. The quibble there was not that Edie shouldn’t be showing off the shape of her butt, but that she was far too rich and glamorous for sportswear. The 1970s saw a glitzier leggings fad, spearheaded by Olivia Newton-John’s Grease costume and adopted by disco. Then came the 1980s technicolor fitness obsession, and Olivia Newton-John yet again. Leggings never really took a hiatus; they shape-shifted to fit fashion trends throughout the ’90s and early aughts. Histories of leggings regularly overlook the role played by mall culture circa 2006 to 2010. Wet Seal leggings were sometimes, like, three for $10? And you wore them under denim skirts or boys’ hoodies. So as to look terrible! This brief phase of super-cheap, often inadvertently see-through leggings was a gold mine for tabloid bloggers, and coincided unfortunately with the brief heyday of "belted dresses on top of jeans.”

But it wasn’t until the rise of athleisure in the United States that there was a true backlash against leggings. Jump-started by the rise of conspicuous exercise and bonkers popularity of high-end yoga brand Lululemon, spurred by the high-fashionization of streetwear and sneaker cults, and solidified by the participation of approximately one in four working celebrities, it’s become the most popular and most lucrative mode of dressing — particularly in the last five years or so. Kate Hudson’s Lululemon competitor Fabletics debuted in 2013, Beyoncé launched her activewear line in 2016, Reebok signed Gigi Hadid last year, just after Adidas stole Kylie Jenner from Puma. This week, Lululemon reported a record quarter, with earnings rising 39 percent year over year, and recent estimates say leggings alone are a $1 billion industry in the US. The first mainstream burst of wearing workout clothes around as non-workout staples, though, was among college-age women, which was a problem for a lot of people.

Around this time, the phrase "Leggings are not pants” started showing up on mass-produced t-shirts and dedicated Facebook groups and rudimentary memes. In 2010, the Huffington Post published a (rather racist) blog post titled "Leggings Are Not Pants,” which advised young black women to think like Michelle Obama instead of Tyra Banks, and to think twice before dressing like an "urban ballerina.” But the first major battleground for the war on leggings was, of course, middle schools and high schools — where adults imbued the workaday fashion choices of pre-teens with sexual significance.

Difference Between 48V & 52V Batteries

First of all, the most common and popular voltage for high-end e-bikes and ebike kits is 48V or 52V. This is different then most lower-cost ebikes and ebike kits which run off 36V. This can also differ by sales region since in the United States 48V & 52V is the standard while in Europe 36V is the standard. Lower voltage batteries are cheaper but the main difference between lower and higher voltage batteries are that the higher the voltage the better the power and performance! To get more news about48v VS 52v ebike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Why would you choose a 52V battery over a 48V battery?
More range - 52V batteries when compared against 48V batteries with the same rated Ah will have more range as they have a larger battery capacity (Watt-hours rating).

More Power - 52V batteries can provide more power to a motor when the motor needs it. 52V batteries also provide a better voltage range for the motor to operate in when compared with 48V battery.

More Efficient - 52V Batteries can allow your motor to run at a lower current (amp) draw when operating at the same conditions when compared to a 48V battery. This can help reduce the amount of heat being built up in the motor and reduce overheating and premature failure

More Versatile - 52V batteries will provide better performance than a 48V battery when used in cold weather

Why you may not need 52V battery and a 48V battery maybe enough?
48V may already provide you more than enough range for your riding needs

You are not needing any additional power for offroading or climbing steep hills and you are just looking to do city riding and commuting.

You are not planning to ride during the Winter months in lower temperatures or in the snow.
Keep in mind that BBS02 and BBSHD Mid Drive motor controllers can take a range of voltages from 40V to 59V, so clearly these units perform better at the higher end of the range however if the voltage drops so will the power.

As a battery drains and the voltage drops a rider will experience that they are no longer be getting the same power from the motor which will also be noticeable with the throttle lag. This difference in power will be more noticeable with a 48V battery than with a 52V battery.

Which is the best battery to get?
Unfortunately, it is not that easy as ebike battery packs are in no way a one size fits all item which is why we offer so many different battery options! In order to see the estimated range based on the motor and battery pack that you are looking at we recommend clicking the button below to learn more about our range estimates!

Be vigilant when buying eBike chargers, warns Electrical Safety First

Consumers have been warned by an electrical safety charity to stick to buying authentic eBike chargers following an investigation that turned up dangerous or poorly advertised products with many of the world’s leading online shopping platforms.To get more news about ebike battery charging, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

The dangers of mismatching electric products, in particular batteries and chargers is well documented, but a spate of light electric vehicle fires, some involving eBike chargers, led Electrical Safety First to investigate just how easy it is for consumers to inadvertently land themselves in a dangerous situation.

The consumer safety charity turned up nearly 60 listings on prominent marketplaces including Amazon, eBay, AliExpress which fell below the required safety standards for sale to UK consumers. Lots were listed as eBike chargers, though some were badged as ‘multi-use’ and ready to charge everything from electric scooters to hoverboards.

The consumer safety charity contacted each marketplace with suspect sales and reported that all removed the listings highlighted in good time. One marketplace informed Electrical Safety First that it had subsequently put to use the charity’s red flag guidance to further remove hundreds more listings.

While bike shops will rightly turn away any electric bike suspected of either having been tampered with, or to have been in any way electrically compromised, most will feel it right to improve the consumer education nonetheless and to advise consumers to only buy authentic and compatible charging equipment.

Unfortunately, the signs of tampering or electrical faults are not always immediately obvious, so electric bike service centres should always take precaution against battery fires with the correct fire cabinet storage.

Compliance failures turned up by the eBike chargers investigation included plenty falling below the UK standards for plugs, with some featuring no fuse, which is part of the componentry that helps cut supply in the event of a fault. This cast doubt on other internal compliance.

Should a problem develop into a fire around a lithium ion battery, the issue can very quickly escalate with such fires notoriously hard to put out; consumers facing such situations have very often made the situation worse in their efforts to extinguish.

Other defects with the charging devices included dimension issues with the plug. UK plugs must meet minimum dimension requirements to prevent electric shock. The charging devices found by Electrical Safety First were all visibly small in size, leaving the user exposed to electric shock if their fingers were to come into contact with the live plug pins.

Martyn Allen, Technical Director of Electrical Safety First, commented: "By the very nature of the batteries these dangerous charging devices are powering, it is a potential disaster waiting to happen. The process of charging e-bike batteries must be done with compatible and compliant chargers. These chargers we have identified for sale all pose an increased risk of fire and electric shock and should never have been available for sale to UK shoppers in the first instance. Given the frightening nature of lithium-ion battery fires, it is essential the charging equipment doesn’t pose any unnecessary risk to the battery or user.

"The lack of vital regulation needed to ensure online marketplaces are responsible for the safety of goods sold via their platforms is contributing significantly to dangerous products entering people’s homes. The Government must bring forward urgent laws to finally end this scandal.”

Which Is The Fastest Bike In The World?

The thrill of speed - it’s one of the reasons why a lot of us love motorcycles so much. Sure, cars go faster, but bikes just seem to enhance that sense of speed like nothing else. But while your KTM 390 Duke clocking over 160kmph can certainly be considered fast, have you ever wondered - just how fast can motorcycles actually go? Well, we wonder that all the time, so we thought we’d get all of you some low-down about the world’s fastest bikes.To get more news about fatest ebike, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Now the title of "World’s fastest bike” can be split into two distinct categories - the fastest "production” bike, i.e. one that is produced in a factory and can be bought by anyone (with enough money to burn that is), and the "World’s fastest bike, period” - basically a one-off machine specifically designed to set the land speed record for two-wheelers.
This has been a rather prestigious title that a lot of bike makers have chased throughout history - from bikes like the Vincent Black Shadow in the late 1940s claiming to have cracked 250kmph to the speed wars of the 1990s with bikes like the Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki ZX-14R managing well over 300kmph. Sadly, the latter mentioned speed wars came to an end with a gentlemens’ agreement between bike makers to cap top speeds to 300kmph before government regulations came cracking down.

Today though, production bikes have been able to go much faster. The supercharged Kawasaki H2R is supposed to have a top speed slightly in excess of 400kmph - something that was proven when WSBK champion Keenan Sofuglu clocked 400kmph on an unmodified H2R on a closed bridge in Istanbul. On the other hand, the jet turbine powered MTT 420RR has a claimed top speed of 273mph - that’s almost 440kmph, making it the world’s fastest production bike.

But the caveats here are that while both are "production” bikes, neither the Kawasaki H2R nor the MTT 420RR are road legal. On top of that, the 420RR is a hand-built motorcycle that just barely fits the bill of "production” bike.

So which is the fastest proper production road-legal bike in the world then? The answer might surprise you. It’s actually the Lightning LS-218 - an electric motorcycle! With a liquid cooled 150kW+ electric motor putting out 228Nm of torque, the LS-218 can hit a top speed of 218mph - that’s an eye-watering 350kmph.

When engineers are given a free hand to build a motorcycle for top speed and not account for serial production or even general ridability, you get things like the Top 1 Ack Attack. Now the Ack Attack is designed for one thing and one thing alone - being the fastest thing on two wheels on the Bonneville Salt Flats. But it’s also a "motorcycle” in the loosest of terms. It’s basically a streamliner. Sure, it’s got two wheels, but it’s got full body work that completely encapsulates the rider for maximum aerodynamics.

Five threats to e-bike success

E-bike sales in the U.S. have grown 300% in the past five years. More and more retailers are saying, "E-bikes are our future." Despite the rosy glow around the category, there are concerns among the movement's leaders.To get more news about Fat Tire Electric Bikes, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Larry Pizzi, CCO of Alta Cycling Group, has produced and sold e-bikes since 2002, and since 2015 he has chaired the e-bike subcommittee for the Bicycle Product Suppliers Association, now PeopleForBikes.

"In some areas, like passing the three-class model legislation in 39 states so far, and our first-of-its-kind battery recycling partnership with Call2Recycle, we're thrilled with our progress," Pizzi noted. "And the threats are real and some are really challenging to address."

Dr. Ash Lovell, the electric bicycle policy and campaign director at PeopleForBikes, echoes Pizzi's thoughts. "On our monthly calls with e-bike company heads and advocates we spend the first five minutes celebrating our successes, and the rest of the call in 'What could go wrong?' mode," Lovell said.

So let's take a look at the five challenges that lie ahead and how Lovell and Pizzi plan to address them:

Out-of-category bikes
BRAIN: The PeopleForBikes three-class structure works great within our industry walls. Yet we're seeing so many products that are being touted as electric bicycles that violate the power and speed limits that have been defined by the CPSC. What can be done?

Pizzi: The original definition of e-bikes in the U.S. was included in HR727, a federal bill that modified CPSC 1512 and was signed into law in December 2002.
Malcolm Currie, an early product pioneer and my former employer, testified on behalf of HR727. He had a public service background and connections in D.C. He deserves a great deal of credit for this early work.

The 20-mile-per-hour speed limit for Class 1 and 2 was based on what an athletic rider could achieve on a level surface. It was decided that the power level should be less than one horsepower, hence "less than 750 watts" in the bill.

These limits fit in well with what was emerging in Europe and they still seem well-suited for the U.S. market. What's problematic is the urge to violate them with more speed and more power.

Lovell: This is really a two-pronged challenge. First, there needs to be a better understanding of what is and is not an electric bicycle according to federal regulations.

Many of the products that we are seeing come to market are being marketed as able to achieve higher speeds than defined by CPSC. Obviously, with higher speeds, we see greater chances for accidents and injury.

Pizzi: If you're importing something that can be modified to exceed the three-class limits, you're breaking the law. Not only can CPSC and NHTSA impose penalties, you're putting the public at risk.

It starts with educating the brands with all the information they need. PeopleForBikes members can go to the member portal and find the Erika Jones memo that covers this. So many of the startup e-bike brands are not members yet though.

First Aid Kit "Must-Haves” & Knowing When Injuries Need REAL Medical Attention

Hiking, camping, fishing, paddle boarding, kayaking – the list of outdoor activities could go on. And since the days are long enough, many of us do more than one of these a day sometimes. You know what that means, right? Many more opportunities for injuries while we’re out having all that fun.To get more news about hemostatic granule, you can visit rusuntacmed.com official website.

A fall, a cut, and a scrape or two are statistically unavoidable if you’re doing lots of outdoor activities all summer. They’re pretty minor most of the time, but we’re in Alaska, so it’s always a good idea to have a first aid kit with the essential "must-haves” just in case.
Here is a list of items that make up a well-stocked, basic first aid kit. If you keep this kit handy in your home, car, boat, etc., you’ll be well-prepared for many of the most common emergencies you’d encounter until you can get to a medical facility or help can get to you.

Notice that alcohol and hydrogen peroxide are not on the list other than something with which to sterilize the tweezers. Using hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean wounds can harm the tissue and delay healing. For cuts, it’s best to rinse thoroughly with cool water and after wiping the tweezers with alcohol, use them to remove as much debris as you can.

*As a side note, in every first aid kit this writer’s spouse has ever put together, one will always find Maxi pads (highest absorbency women’s sanitary pads) for severe cuts and tampons for puncture wounds. The belief has always been that since they are made explicitly for high absorbency, they make the most sense for severe lacerations. (Gauze doesn’t even come close.) Having seen one of those items used in a real-world setting, I can personally recommend adding them to your essential first aid kit supply list.
If you aren’t sure whether or not to go to the ER, calling your primary care provider is always a good first option. They will undoubtedly be able to discuss your symptoms and advise whether or not what you’re experiencing is an emergency.

If it’s after hours and you’re a SEARHC patient, you can call the SEARHC free Nurse Advice Line toll-free at 1.800.613.0560. The medical service representatives and registered triage nurses who monitor that line can help. They can answer your questions, help contact your provider or connect you with emergency services.
For other types of injuries, such as head injuries, neck injuries, and anything to do with bones, tendons, or muscles, there are many more things to consider.

Importantly, head and neck injuries are sneaky as they can be invisible but lead to serious problems ranging from mild to severe. It may be "better to be safe than sorry” and seek emergency medical attention with either type of injury.

For musculoskeletal injuries (bone, tendon, muscle), look for problems bearing weight, constant pain, swelling and bruising, a significant bump in the area of the injury or if there is an open wound at the site of the injury, emergency care is also probably warranted.

Additionally, SEARHC has a top-notch orthopedic team, including a board-certified orthopedic surgeon available to treat musculoskeletal injuries and if needed, a vast array of rehabilitation services to help patients get everything back in working order as soon as possible.

As always, the takeaways are 1) to be prepared with whatever you might need to perform basic first aid on yourself or someone with you, and 2) have an idea of the criteria for an injury that requires medical attention at a level higher than your first aid kit.
