He's a little sensitive. He hid behind the shampoo when I asked him why he was wrapped in toilet paper. He's a little sensitive so I didn't question him further.
A perfect introduction to your world of XC riding and racing, the Epic Comp Carbon features all of the same frame technologies that are found in its older siblings, only with a build that lets you give racing a try without breaking the bank.
Race courses have evolved over the past few years. They're more technical, steeper, and simply more challenging to ride. But instead of quivering in our boots, we saw this as an opportunity to make something special—something that both World Cup athletes and XC riders alike can instantly feel the benefit from. We looked at the sum of parts that make a bike handle well, like the head angle, reach, stack, chainstay length, fork offset, etc., and reevaluated all of it. Increasing the reach made a bike that was more stable at speed and generally more comfortable to ride. Dropper posts? Yep, those fit, and not just a short- travel XC option, but full-length droppers that fit in the 30.9mm seat tube. Head angle? We slacked that out, but not without evaluating the overall handling package. It now lands on a custom offset, 42mm fork that works with the slacker head angle in order to behave itself in tight corners and through switchbacks.
Next comes the redesigned Brain technology, Brain 2.0. The Brain changed the way the bike world looked at suspension, both its inefficiencies and benefits alike. And oh was it good. It won races and put a flag in the ground for us as a true leader in innovation and suspension development, but we knew that we could make it better. Simple physics told us that, by moving the Brain closer to the rear axle, it would be in the most sensitive spot. And after countless hours with the RockShox team, the new Brain became more than just a slight upgrade. It's totally new. Now, it reacts seamlessly to bump forces, it has much more consistent damping performance, and finally, it integrates the hoses into the suspension links. This, in turn, improves oil paths, and it creates an incredibly sleek package that outperforms anything on the market.
The new Epic also gets a serious upgrade in the stiffness department. The Rider-First Engineered™ tubes place complex carbon pieces in all the right places, which greatly increases stiffness in the front end for a vast improvement in ride quality and control. To go along with this, each frame size has size- specific tubes that result in the stiffest, best riding XC bike we've ever developed —no matter the frame size.
And while stiffness, Brain technology, and geometry features are cool and all, we know what you're thinking, "What about the weight?" We're glad you asked. With the goal of the new Epic to be the fastest XC mountain bike we've ever made, weight was at the top of our priorities list. We started with an efficient frame layout and tube shapes that feature clean cable routing, integrated channels through the shock extension, straight tubes with less curves, and optimised torsion profiles in every section. And if you're curious, this weight savings is equivalent to shedding a chainstay and shock extension from the previous Epic—nearly 525 grams.
The build of the Epic Comp is value-packed, featuring an 11-speed SRAM GX groupset, SRAM Level TL brakes, and a Roval Control alloy wheelset. Get ready, because this is going to be Epic.
Full fact 11m carbon fibre frame combines stiffness, strength, and light overall weight to deliver an off-the-hook race bike. Meanwhile, the new geometry, RockShox Brain shock, and 100mm of travel, make the Epic the best handling, fastest XC rig you've been on. A RockShox Reba RL fork soaks up the bumps up front, and features both compression and rebound adjustments. An 11-speed SRAM GX groupset handles shifting duties, bringing the convenience of one-by to your XC rig.
Onoclea sensibilis - The bright, yellow-green leaves are arranged on each side of a common stem. The leaves die quickly when first touched by frost - hence the name Sensitive fern. This fern is growing under a pine tree in Carmel,NY.

I got inspired to see the museum in a new way after seeing the Shadow Catchers show.
Hunting for shadows was fun- like a treasure hunt !
Shadow Catchers presents the work of five international artists who, for the last twenty years or more, have been challenging the assumption that a camera is necessary to make a photograph. By casting shadows on light sensitive paper or chemically manipulating its surface these artists seemingly capture the presence of objects, figures or glowing light. The results are exciting images often with surreal or abstract effects and symbolic content. These camera-less techniques were explored at the dawn of photography and have now been rediscovered by contemporary image makers. On display are unique and beautifully crafted works by Pierre Cordier, Susan Derges, Adam Fuss, Garry Fabian Miller and Floris Neusüss
ABSTRACT
Skeletal muscles are primary sites of activity-related energy consumption and have KATP channels expressed in very high density. Data indicate that KATP channels adjust skeletal muscle excitability under extreme levels of workload. The function of KATP channels in skeletal muscles under physiological workload conditions is unclear.
Here we developed a novel technique that allows the measurement of muscle membrane and action potentials in situ under a controlled level of workload. This technique, which is based on the use of a floating intracellular microelectrode, allowed us to evaluate skeletal muscle excitability with minimal disruption of the microenvironment and with intact blood supply. Our results indicate that KATP channels open in response to a relatively low level of muscle workload. This KATP channel opening results in membrane hyperpolarization and reduction of the action potential overshoot. The response was blocked by the specific KATP channel blocker glyburide and was absent in muscles with genetically disrupted KATP channel function.
Furthermore, disruption of KATP channel-dependent membrane and action potential adjustment in transgenic mice was associated with significantly increased activity-induced energy consumption and reduced exercise tolerance, compared to wild type controls. Thus, this study provides first and direct evidence that KATP channel-dependent adjustment of muscle membrane and action potentials is critical for muscle energy consumption and function under physiological conditions.
Irénée Duriez (°1950 Torhout) is a Belgian sculptor and draughtsman. He also has designed jewelry in bronze and silver. He gained fame as a sculptor, and maker of mainly female figures, as the creator of originally robust, and then gradually more pure sculptures of slender elegance. He makes classic, realistic sculptures in wax, subsequently cast in bronze (lost wax technique). His images are powerful and full of dynamics, but also sensitive and suggestive. He considers the living model as a stimulus, as a source of creativity, which to him, intrigues, touches, and seduces in its various postures, positions, sensibilities, and emotions. His work is an ode to the young woman.
Title of the work: The Wind
Irénée Duriez (° 1950 Torhout) is een Belgisch beeldhouwer en tekenaar. Hij heeft ook nog juwelen ontworpen in brons en zilver. Hij verwierf bekendheid als beeldhouwer en maker van hoofdzakelijk vrouwelijke figuren, als schepper van een oorspronkelijk robuuste en daarna geleidelijk zuiverdere en slanke elegantie. Hij maakt klassieke, realistische beelden in was die nadien in brons gegoten worden (verloren-was-techniek). Zijn beelden zijn krachtig en vol dynamiek, maar ook gevoelig en suggestief. Hij beschouwt het levende model als een stimulans, als een bron van creativiteit, die hem intrigeert, raakt en verleidt in zijn verschillende houdingen, standpunten, gevoeligheden en emoties. Zijn werk is een ode aan de jonge vrouw.

Il est connu comme sculpteur et créateur de figures surtout féminines, créant une élégance d'abord robuste, puis progressivement plus pure et plus épurée. Il réalise des sculptures classiques et réalistes en cire qui sont ensuite coulées en bronze (technique de la cire perdue). Ses sculptures sont puissantes et pleines de dynamisme, mais aussi sensibles et suggestives. Il considère le modèle vivant comme un stimulus, comme une source de créativité, qui l'intrigue, le touche et le séduit dans ses différentes attitudes, positions, sensibilités et émotions. Son œuvre est une ode à la jeune femme.

Indoor Waterfall Water Feature Fountain - Features / Waterfalls / Fountains
Indoor waterfalls dramatically improve ambiance by bringing the sights and sounds of a modern waterfall into your home or office. The sound of indoor fountains are associated with beautiful nature settings, peaceful vacations and meditative tranquility. An indoor waterfall can provide many health benefits as well. The flow of water captures airborne particles and dust from the air. The slow evaporation of water releases beneficial negative ions into the air and acts as a natural humidifier. For more sensitive environments or healthcare settings we offer a line of indoor fountains incorporating specialized precautions against bacteria and microorganisms. These options include Saniguard coatings, ultraviolet light sterilization systems and reverse osmosis systems.
