There’s only one flavor (orange mango), and it does contain a small amount of added sugar. Dietary Considerations: soy-free, egg-free, nut-free, made without gluten, contains fish.Other ingredients: vitamin C, grapeseed oil extract.Collagen Source: bovine (cow), poultry, marine.Price at time of publication: $25 ($0.71 per serving) Now Foods, which is known for its quality supplements, completes comprehensive purity and potency testing to ensure their products contain the amount listed on the label and don’t contain any harmful contaminants. It's also significantly less than many other collagen powders. Even though this powder didn't receive the highest ratings for smell and flavor, we love that it provides a variety of types of collagen, has simple ingredients, and that it can be easily added to stronger flavored liquids or foods. Therefore, it may be best used in smoothies or drinks with stronger flavors. Because it’s unflavored, you can add it to any food or beverage you like-coffee, tea, oatmeal, smoothies, baked goods and more. However, it has a fishy aftertaste especially in plain water. One serving, which is 2.5 tablespoons, contains 10 grams of protein (11 grams of collagen) and just over 100 percent of your daily vitamin C needs. It also contains vitamin C which helps support collagen production. The collagen comes from a mix of cow, chicken, and fish, so it is not suitable for vegans or those with a fish allergy. It contains types I and III collagen, which may support skin and nails, as well as type II for joint and bone support. ![]() Now Multi Collagen Protein Types I,II, and III checks nearly all of the boxes we look for in a quality collagen supplement. It is also not safe for those with fish allergies, and has a stronger taste in plain drinks. While it provides all three types of collagen, it is lower in protein than some other powders available on the market. Price at time of publication: $47 ($1.68 per serving) It’s also gluten-free, nut-free, soy-free, and Non-GMO. ![]() We like that this pick is NSF Certified for Sport, a rigorous third-party organization that tests for harmful contaminants as well as banned substances by sport. Of note, the single-serve packets only provide 10 grams of collagen peptides. In addition to the traditional tub, you can also purchase single-serve packets which are a convenient option if you’re on-the-go or traveling. ![]() However, keep in mind the most important thing for collagen production is to get adequate protein, vitamin C, zinc, and copper. It contains types I and III collagen which have been shown to support skin, hair, and nail health. It does not contain type II collagen, which is the type of collagen that may help support joint health. We like that it dissolves well into both cold and hot drinks with no clumps or off-putting flavor, and that it truly is flavorless when mixed into any drink. With 18 grams of protein from grass-fed, pasture-raised cows per serving, it’s an easy way to add protein to your day-especially since it can be added to warm or cool beverages. If you’re looking for a simple, unflavored collagen powder to boost your protein intake, Bubs Naturals Collagen Peptides is a great choice. It only contains types I and III collagen, so it may not be suitable for someone looking for joint support. Thankfully, we've done a lot of that evaluation for you, so you can find the one that works best for you. When choosing the best supplement for you, you’ll want to evaluate the type of collagen, form (pill, powder, liquid, or gummy), dose, other ingredients in the supplement, and third party testing. In addition to our research and expert input, we test collagen powders in our lab for taste, texture, smell, and how well they dissolve in cold and hot liquids. In order to choose the best collagen supplements, our team of registered dietitians researches dozens of supplements, and considers recommendations from other registered dietitians (several of whom work with women in menopause and during pregnancy). ![]() As long as you consume the building blocks of collagen-adequate protein, vitamin C, zinc, and copper-you might not need a supplement. That said, collagen supplements may be helpful to active people, people with joint pain, those with skin concerns, or for people looking to up their protein intake. For instance, research supports that the best collagen supplements might improve skin hydration and elasticity, and possibly reduce joint stiffness.Īs with many supplements, the research on collagen supplements is not always consistent, and we still have a lot to learn. According to Kelsey Kunik, RDN, while collagen supplements are often marketed for beauty concerns (for instance, anti-aging), they can also have real health benefits. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and provides structure for skin, hair, nails, joints, cartilage, and bones.

Excalibur Crossbowsįor all the advancements out there, I still love the utility of a recurve crossbow for hunting-and, of course, Excalibur is the way to go if you’re shopping for a recurve. Excalibur Assassin Extreme The Assassin Extreme, with accessory package, has a suggested retail price of $1,400. There’s no opportunity to really test crossbows for accuracy at a trade show, of course, but this one looks promising. It doesn’t have a de-cocking system, so you’ll need to shoot it at the end of the day, but it does come with a scope and all the accessories for just $599-a fraction of the price of competitive models. An innovative detent on the stock keeps the rope from slipping and doing something silly, like ripping off the scope, as the bow is being cocked. It has a crisp TriggerTech Trigger, and the bow can be cocked with a standard sled and rope (a huge benefit in my opinion). The Hyper Raptor shoots Barnett’s excellent HyperFlite arrows (some of the only micro-diameter crossbow arrows on the market) to 410 feet per second, and it does it in a package that weighs under 7 pounds (bare bow) and is just 7.25 inches wide when cocked. Most premium crossbows are a perfect blend of portability and good handling, with crushing speed and accuracy. Barnett Crossbowsīarnett’s latest was the buzz of the show in the crossbow department. Barnett Hyper Raptor The new Hyper Raptor from Barnett looks like a great value at right around $600. Here’s my first look at the hottest new crossbows for 2023. Still, the brands that showed up to the 2023 Archery Trade Association Show last week did bring the goods with some exciting new models. The radical-looking Ravin R18, which the brand has been teasing since 2020, does appear to finally be available in some stores (but is still listed as “in stock soon” on the Ravin website). The most conspicuous absence was Ravin’s-whose representatives said that some of the company’s existing models would be available in a new camouflage pattern. ![]() Mission, which still sells the Sub-1 XR, was absent from the show but told us they didn’t have anything new on the crossbow front. Whatever the case, there weren’t as many new crossbows at the 2023 ATA Show as there have been in years past. ![]() Or maybe it has to do with the fact that crossbow hunters tend to buy a crossbow and then hang onto it, in contrast with vertical-bow shooters who might upgrade to the latest flagship model every season or two. It could be that people can no longer afford $2,000 crossbows, what with the price of eggs. Well, it seems like a market correction is happening now. The crossbow market was exploding with new models to suit all budgets-so many, in fact, that new crossbow launches outpaced new vertical bow launches for a few years. Just a few short years ago, if you entered the ATA Show swinging a dead cat by the tail and let it go, chances were good you’d hit a new crossbow of some sort.

![]() One of the most elementary relationships in life is the father/child relationship. ![]() This is really classic early 19th Century eugenics plus in vitro fertilization on steroids. Each class of people is given a different designation and assigned a different role in life. They are given different stimulating or retarding treatments so that they will fit with their castes – Alphas, Betas, etc. Grown and ‘decanted’ at the appropriate time. Many of them are identical – several hundred at a time. Sex and procreation have been completely divorced. Sex was at times procreative but only in certain situations. Parents were chosen to pass on their traits. Huxley brings it to a point Hastings probably couldn’t have imagined. I thought Hastings carried Eugenics to its conclusion in City. What was supposed to be a perfect society is instead devoid of almost anything that would give it meaning. And its a little harder for some of those who grow up on the inside – such as Bernard and Helmholtz. Conditioned, most can grow up in it and in the State you can “live and move and have your being.” Its much harder for a savage from outside. In an effort to shut suffering in, they had to banish all the good stuff as well. They’ve given away conviction, courage and truth. But as the reader will see, they’ve given away risk. They are aiming at a perfect society, free of any misery, distress or unhappiness. We have the feelies and the scent organ instead.īrave New World is every bit as dystopian as City of the Endless Night. You’ve got to choose between happiness and what people used to call high art. Mostly for the sake of ease.īut that’s the price we have to pay for stability. But his future civilized people use the term so he does also so I will too. To reduce them to savages, as if they are somehow of less value than the civilized people is something I find detestable. Inherently valuable, created in God’s own image. Unable to atone for his past sins while living in civilization, he hangs himself.Ī quick note: I’m going to refer to the savages some in this article (as I already have) and the very term gives me the willies. Her death upsets John and catalyzes his rebellion from society which leaves him living alone in a lighthouse on England’s coast. His mother soon succumbs to endless soma holidays. Due to his mother’s repeated sins of promiscuous sex with the natives, his light color and Shakespeare-inspired life, he was an outcast among the Zuni.īernard brings John and his mother home. He learned to read and was inspired by an old book of Shakespeare’s works. She longed for “civilization” and told John about it. She had gotten pregnant due to a rare fault of her birth control and so she gave birth to John in the savage village. John’s mother had also been a tourist there about 20 years earlier. The “savages” are a Native American people – the Zuni – who practice a syncretized form of Christianity and live essentially as their ancestors. He takes his “love interest” (though there is really no love, its all just recreational sex completely divorced from procreation or dedicated relationships) to the land of the savages – a cordoned off section in what is now the southwestern United States. He doesn’t quite belong and all he wants is to fit in. They have recreation and soma, a drug that makes you euphoric and drowsy without a hangover.īernard Marx is a member of this society but he is somewhat of an outcast due to his wondering mind and comparatively short stature. They are “decanted” in biological castes, the lower of which do the more menial jobs and the higher ones do the more difficult jobs (though jobs they are trained to do easily, mindlessly) and everyone is happy. People are no long born, but grown in a lab. ![]() After the Nine Years War, humanity united and eradicated all obstacles to stable civilization. But one of the points of this blog is that science fiction IS social commentary, among other things, at heart.īrave New World is set a few hundred years in the future and in a completely different society than what we know. Its certainly dystopian science fiction though it is generally considered more of a social commentary. ![]() Aldous Huxley – on of those Huxleys – published Brave New Worldin 1932. ![]() This transforms the bike from a gravel all-rounder to something geared to more difficult terrain. The dropper post also works as a suspension seatpost with 25mm travel when fully extended. Pros: Burly suspension spec tweaked geometry for tougher terrain quality wheels and mullet drivetrainĪdding an X to its name, the Giant Revolt X Advanced Pro 1 also gets a RockShox Rudy XPLR Ultimate 40mm-travel suspension fork, along with chunkier tyres and a tweaked geometry.You can mount five water bottles to the Revolt X for longer adventures. Read our full Cannondale Topstone Carbon Lefty 1 review.The Topstone Lefty 1 is well kitted out too, with a SRAM AXS single-ring groupset and carbon wheels, with plenty of clearance and 700c or 650b wheels an option. However, the stability means the bike is great on more technical terrain and helps it fly over flatter gravel trails, making it one of the most capable gravel bikes we’ve ever reviewed. Unridden, it looks a bit strange, but sit a rider on it and the sag in the suspension gives the bike a more usual gravel bike geometry. ![]() The Lefty models add another 30mm at the front as well, courtesy of Cannondale’s single-legged Lefty Oliver carbon suspension fork. Pros: Handling, control and speed are top-notch c omfortable on terrain suited to mountain bikesĪll Cannondale Topstone Carbon gravel bike models come with 30mm of vertical travel at the rear.The Topstone Lefty looks different and performs superbly, a real winner from Cannondale. Read our full Canyon Grizl CF SL 8 1by review.It’s a bike that handles typical UK off-road conditions really competently and also progresses well on tarmac. The Grizl also comes with a longer, slacker geometry than the Grail and all the mounting points needed for gravel adventures.Īs usual with Canyon bikes, there’s a quality spec at a competitive price, with a 1x Shimano GRX groupset, DT Swiss gravel wheels and Canyon VCLS bump-absorbing seatpost. Cons: 1x gearing might not be low enough for some Canyon-specific mudguard mountsĬanyon has two gravel bikes in its quiver, the fast Grail and the more hardcore gravel Grizl, which enables you to fit 50mm tyres.Pros: Versatile carbon frameset great spec well thought-out geometry.The Canyon Grizl is handsome looking with all the mounts you could dream of for fenders, bottles and bags. ![]() Two childhood friends recover their feelings again. Some siblings are on a trip, and they bond in dynamic relationships. I have some romance books similar to Aristotle And Dante for you. That was one of my favorite things about it. Throughout the book, the protagonist has to learn to be gentle with himself. Hinton, one of my favorite classic books. The book reminded me a lot of The Outsiders by S.E. ![]() One thing I want to mention quickly is that there are a couple of triggers that are not disturbing. Aristotle And Dante made me so emotional. ![]() It’s so impossible to overstate how important when we see those love stories being told across all mediums. I love reading Queer/LGBTQ+ romance, everything across the spectrum. 7 Books Like Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets Of The Universe (MM/Gay Romance Story) The way that the author treats his characters with such gentleness reminded me that I need to treat others that way and that I need to treat myself that way. Such books like Aristotle And Dante inspire me to be a kinder person. The narrative holds cupped hands full of love and patiently waits for them to take it. I enjoyed the relationships between Aristotle and Dante and their parents. Many teenagers experience that when they start to move toward adulthood and see parents as people trying to understand them. Aristotle’s father struggles with PTSD because he was a marine in the war, which affects Arie in his relationship with his parents. But even more than a love story, this book surprised me with how much it was about family, being yourself, and being kind to others. So, it’s very much a coming-of-age story.Īristotle has trouble making friends, and he meets Dante, and their friendship develops. When the book starts, he is trying to figure himself out. He lives in El Paso, Texas, in the eighties, so it has a fun feel because it’s in the eighties. It’s a first-person book, so it’s written from his point of view. We followed two characters, but the main character, Arie Aristotle Mendoza, is a 15-year-old boy. Aristotle And Dante Discover The Secrets of The Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz is a contemporary gay romance novel. Lastly, the scope involves establishing a security boundary. The management phase also targets user access, privileged access, and the tools used to enforce access limitations. In particular, vulnerability management focuses on proactive security measures, incident handling procedures, and a clear timeline for reviewing processes or policies relating to vulnerability management. Management and use cover everything from policies to plans to procedures. Knowing what hardware and software you utilize and how it is secured (either physically or logically) enables a company to close any “open doors” that may lead to future vulnerabilities. The basic controls cover three main questions: What do you have? How are assets used or managed? And what is the scope?ĬIS specifies conducting an asset inventory covering both software and hardware when it comes to what you have. ![]() The basic category encompasses six controls deemed critical for every entity and should be implemented as minimum safeguards. The breakdown of CIS controls into basic, foundational, and organizational categories helps smaller companies with fewer resources, and human resources still achieve an acceptable level of cybersecurity. The CIS benchmarks provide a broad outlook of security implementation rather than industry-specific standards.
