Top 10 Small Motorcycles With Big Personalities!
Little Motorcycles Aren't Only For Learners
Small motorcycles are taking over, and they're nothing like they used to be. Cheap quality boneshakers are things of the past – because small motorcycles just got serious. With the Western market making slow growth at best, it's the Asian market that's appealing to most manufacturer's R&D departments and Asia is the spiritual home of small motorcycles: the infrastructure can't handle over-powered motorcycles, small capacity machines have been the driving force of their nations for the past 80 years, and the Japanese already know how to build top quality small motorcycles. And the motorcycle industry is a business at the end of the day: you've got to go where the money is…and Europe and North America are a big strapped at the moment, putting it kindly.
Times aren't as thin as the papers tell you, but the global mind set is changing: cars are labelled as deadly pollutants offer poor economy, large capacity motorcycles are starting to be called unnecessary, and there's a growing demand for small urban transport solutions. In an ideal world we'd all ride little electric scooters but we've got a few years of breathing space before that happens, and the major motorcycle manufacturers have decided that they're going to fill the void with small motorcycles with big personalities. And what they're offering is nothing short of superb.
In fact, we recommend going out for a test ride on the latest generation of small motorcycles to help cast off some old prejudices. They're not as weak and underpowered as they used to be. They come with advanced riding aids that used to be more commonly reserved for their bigger brothers. You're not too big for one. And they're cheap. And extremely economical. We know you're not convinced but like you we once feared the unknown – so that's why we're going to take you on a little trip through the world of small motorcycles, and hopefully something there strikes a chord. So here are our top 10 favorite small motorcycles that might convert you to the small capacity cause…And while it's a top 10, it's in no particular order of favoritism.
The Top 10 Small Motorcycles That You Should Take For A Ride
#10. The Honda CRF250 Rally
The Honda CRF250 Rally is an absolute beast of a bike that almost any rider can find a use for. Essentially, it's a CRF250L dirt bike that has been dolled up a little to make it look more like a Paris-Dakar beast, but with more practically minded adventure riding ergonomics. It might appear to be a sheep in wolf's clothing thanks to its striking HRC inspired styling that makes it look like a diluted CRF450R, but its bite matches its bark. It's just a different kind of bite. With a re-tuned CRF250L motor that produces a more user-friendly 24 hp, the CRF250 Rally also boasts some cool features that you wouldn't normally find on a bike of its size, such as LED lights, advanced trail oriented tires, real road presence and overall commanding nature – all wrapped up in a package that weighs 346 lbs wet.
The CRF250 Rally's project leader, Eiji Sugiyama explained the inspiration behind the machine: "The rally racer replica segment is an exciting one for us, with the global, human appeal of everything that Team HRC is fighting to achieve in the Dakar rally. We really wanted to build on the capabilities of the CRF250L and open up new opportunities for riders young and old. So, with the CRF250 Rally we set out to make a motorcycle that looks like HRC's CRF450 Rally factory machine, is fun to ride both on and off-road for weekend adventures, comfortable to tour with and useful and practical for daily life. It brings the spirit of Rally-raid racing to every ride." As far as small motorcycles go, this is a pretty mean machine.
#09. The Suzuki VanVan 200
The Suzuki VanVan is not a new motorcycle by any stretch of the imagination but it's often overlooked in the small motorcycles category – with Honda's small CBs or Yamaha's smaller YBR models taking precedence – and that's a damn shame. Boasting a fun little 199cc single cylinder fuel injected engine that's good for around 16 hp at 8,000 rpm and around 11 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 rpm, all held together with an unmistakably 70s inspired shape, it's hard not to fall in love with this little mover.
While it has a lot in common with the likes of the Yamaha TW200 or the Honda FTR223, there's something about the Suzuki VanVan that surpasses the other two. It might be its uncomplicated nature, or it might be that awesome retro look with that enormous rear tire…It has a degree of playfulness and an energy that the other two lack. Whatever you do though, do not read the marketing spiel on the Suzuki Cycles website…or you may vomit. Referred to as this baby and using terms like bop around and easy peasy, you may feel the need to unleash your funk down the nearest toilet. Forget the adverts – because if you can cut through the marketing nonsense, you can find an awesome, unsung hero of a bike, and one of the most exciting small motorcycles on the market.
#08. The BMW G310GS
BMW Motorrad stunned us a few years ago when they announced that they were going to throw their hat in the small motorcycles ring with their awesome G310R platform. Developed in conjunction with India's TVS Motor Company, the little Beemer was lauded from the moment that it was unveiled. As an entirely new platform we expected to see further models evolve from it. TVS have been working on a 310cc sports model, while BMW were working on a mini-adventure model to complement their already successful GS range. And here it is. This is the little GS. And it's not actually that little.
As you can see it has been given the full GS treatment placing it firmly in the GS family, but there's more to this bike than matching plastics and graphics. Powered by the same 313cc single cylinder engine as the G310R, the GS version produces a more than capable 34 hp putting it firmly within the realm of real life usability. As a BMW you can bet on bulletproof reliability, and as a model you'll be surprised to know that those big wheels and suspension look like they are more than capable of some decent-range distance touring. And as far as small motorcycles go, this one is small in engine capacity only…the whole thing is a lot bigger than you'd expect.
#07. The Ducati Scrambler Sixty2
With the unprecedented success of the Scrambler platform it's no wonder that Ducati decided to take the best features of its 800cc machine and produce a smaller version for those with Ducati aspirations but with smaller capacity in mind. Back in 2015, the Ducati Scrambler was the 10th bestselling motorcycle in the world, with 16,000 units sold – which is no mean feat for a new bike – and the vast majority of those were sold in North America. But the world is bigger than the USA and Canada, so Ducati decided to shave off some cubic centimeters to attract an entirely new crowd.
Now with a more manageable 400cc engine that produces 46 horsepower, and wrapped in an unmistakable Ducati Scrambler body, the Sixty2 isn't just for beginner riders who want to look cool. Underneath the branding is a motorcycle that really works. If you're in the market for an urban commuter that you can take for a decent spin at the weekend, and not feel like you've got more bike than talent at the end of the ride, then give the small Scrambler Sixty2 a go. I don't think you'll ever want to take it scrambling though…that's for sure.
#06. The KTM Duke 390
KTM is the world's fastest growing motorcycle manufacturer and while the RC8 was great, and while their Super Duke models get our hearts thumping, the truth of the matter is that KTM are making their money doing what they do best: making small motorcycles with shockingly good engines. With the off-road market firmly under their control, it's no surprises that the world has gone crazy for their road going equivalents too. Since 2014, the U.S has been blessed with the KTM Duke 390, and by rights you should be seeing more of them on the road…but weirdly you don't see them as often as you should.
There's no denying that the 390 machines are small motorcycles, but what they lack in size they make up for in character. The KTM Duke 390's 375cc single cylinder engine produces a good 44 hp at 9,500 rpm and 26 lb-ft of torque at 7,50 rpm and comes complimented with WP suspension, Brembo brakes, ABS, and lightweight wheels – all in a package that weighs just shy of 300 lbs. KTM might not be as obvious a choice as the likes of Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki when searching for small motorcycles, but give them a chance. And good news for the USA too, because the more sports oriented RC390 is arriving on US shores too, should you catch the KTM bug.
#05. The Suzuki V-Strom 250
When Suzuki pulled the covers off of their pocket sized V-Strom, we didn't know what to think. The regular, 650cc and 1000cc V-Strom are pretty much icons in the casual adventure subculture that we thought a smaller version could only be terrible. Or at least a bad imitation of something we already loved. But we're happy to say that Suzuki surprised us, and that the V-Strom 250 is actually a welcome addition to the line up. It borrows the same silhouette as its older siblings with the classic beak and adventure looks but it shares its engine with the Inazuma. The 248cc parallel twin is good for 25 horsepower, tuned for low and mid-range torque, and is a solid reliable unit.
While it's decked out in adventure gear – it comes with a 12v power outlet, luggage racks, and a nice tall riding position – it's probably not in the same league as the BMW G310 GS or Honda CRF250 Rally, but it's good for mild touring and can hold its own in the rough. Despite all that, we think that the Suzuki V-Strom 250 excels best a solid commuter that doubles up as an adventure bike for weekend voyagers only. As far as small motorcycles go, we're quite smitten with the little 'Strom.
#04. The Kawasaki Versys-X 300
By now you're probably noticing a trend of small versions of already established adventure bikes. Kawasaki has also jumped on that particular bandwagon – and they'd be fools not to. If you're going to build a solid small capacity motorcycle, you're going to want to build one that appeals to the broadest spectrum of riders, and the versatile and practical nature of the adventure motorcycle makes it the ideal candidate. Similar to Suzuki, Kawasaki has also relied on the success of another one of their models that comes in 650cc and 1000cc flavors: the mighty Versys. This is the Kawasaki Versys-X 300, and while it comes from an adventure heritage, Kawasaki has aimed the smaller machine more towards the road than we expected.
But that's no bad thing. Very few adventure motorcycles purchased ever go an adventure more exciting than a trip to the local mall – how many GS riders have legitimately gone on an adventure? – so Kawasaki have decided to make the Versys-X 300 geared towards adventures that mainly take place on roads. Powered by the same 296cc engine found in the Z300 tuned for mid and low torque, the Versys-X 300 offers superb fuel economy, with Kawasaki claiming that one tank is good for 250 miles.. So, if you're an urban commuter, give this one a test ride.
#03. The Honda Rebel 300
Then there was the Honda Rebel. When you think of the Honda Rebel, make sure don't conjure up the old style of Rebel. Since 1984, the Honda Rebel has been a mainstay entry-level motorcycle for riders of all ages…and it pretty much stayed in the same style and shape for the next 30 odd years. And then Honda decided that it was time to drag the king of small motorcycles kicking and screaming into the 21st century. And by god did they do a fantastic job. Coming in two flavors, 300cc and 500cc, we're going to focus on the smaller model. But both are worth your consideration.
This sporty looking cruiser is one of the most exciting motorcycles of the past few years. It's not going to win any performance contests but if you're in the market for a rocksteady bike that will never fail you, is comfortable and fun to ride, and doesn't look dowdy and dated, then the Honda Rebel 300 is for you. Powered by a punchy 286cc single cylinder engine that offers 24.4 hp, 19.9 lb-ft of torque, the Honda Rebel 300 also offers 71 miles to the gallon and comes with a very attractive MSRP price of $4,399 for the latest model. Now can you see why this rates so high in the small motorcycles segment?
#02. KTM 390 Adventure
Alright, so this one technically isn't even out yet and we only have spy shots to go on, but since we've mainly talked about the versatility and practicality of small capacity adventure motorcycles then we think that the KTM 390 Adventure is still list worthy. As we mentioned above, KTM has a great track record when it comes to building small motorcycles…but it also has an amazing history when it comes to building rugged, globe-trotting, trail blazing adventure motorcycles too. The KTM 390 Adventure is set to be the best of both worlds, so we think it's worth getting excited about this bike before it even formally arrives.
Apparently still under development because it didn't make an appearance at last year's EICMA show, leaving us only spy shots to go on. Taking styling cues from the KTM 450 Rally and nice beak style mud guard, the KTM 390 Adventure is going to be a force to be reckoned with when it finally gets unveiled. Until then, enjoy the spy shots…
#01. The Honda MSX125 Grom
Of course it's on the list. There's small motorcycles and there's small motorcycles – and then there's the Honda Grom, which is basically in a league of its own. Kawasaki tried to copy it with their Z125 Pro, but there's no way that Team Green's little imitation is ever going to unhorse the mini-bike-monarch which is the Honda Grom. Ever since it rolled onto the scene back in 2014, the Grom was instantly blessed with an army of dedicated followers worshiping their majestic pint-sized god. And is the Grom worth the hype? Absolutely.
While it's not the most practical motorcycle in the world, it's definitely a useful one to have in your stable. Simple, reliable, fun, and very cheap to run, it's no wonder that more than 300,000 models have been sold all over the world during the Grom's short life span, with more being sold every day. The secret is down to the fun nature of the Groms little 124cc liquid cooled single cylinder engine. While it only produces 9.79 hp, it's nothing but a joy to ride. Its small size and fairly self-aware-of-what-it-is nature makes anyone who rides it wear a smile. Whatever the weather. And we absolutely love it – we're just surprised that Honda haven't capitalized on its success and gone overboard with it adding model variants and other gimmicks. Pocket sized though it may be, it's easily one of our favorite small motorcycles on the market, and we heartily recommend you take one for a ride. The award for the best small bike definitely goes to this little monster.
So before throwing your hard earned cash at a Kawasaki Ninja or a Harley-Davidson Street Rod, take the time to consider a smaller motorcycle to tackle the open road on instead. Small bikes are the ideal machines for tackling the city streets and for new riders too. They've got a useful seat height, a uncomplicated nature, and an un-intimidating presence. Don't waste time shopping for an oversized dual sport machine, a new Harley Davidson, or a bug eyed Triumph Street Triple, instead you can set your sights a little lower and tear it up on a small motorcycle like the KTM 390 Duke or Suzuki TU250X instead. Bigger is not always better.
Q: Is a 250cc motorcycle too small?
A: No, a 250cc is an excellent size motorcycle that can handle a wide range of tasks. If you live in an urban environment or prefer taking quieter roads, a 250cc motorcycle will be a blast. However, if you want to ride on highways, you'll be much better off with something bigger that has more road presence and won't struggle to keep up with other road traffic. It all depends on what you need it for.

Get to Know Our Cool Digital Designer
Laura Coronado on July 16, 2020 July 15, 2020
It was the job opening that blew up! After posting an open Digital Designer position on our website, job boards, and sharing it on our social media, WebDevStudios (WDS) received over 100 applications for the role. It was a difficult challenge, as so many applicants were talented and impressive, but ultimately, we chose one. Meet Jennifer Cooley, WDS' new Digital Designer.
Jennifer Cooley, Digital Designer
"Everyone in the WordPress community knows who WebDevStudios is," says Jennifer, "When I saw the open position, I had to apply. I remember telling my husband after my first interview that I really wanted the job, and I may have even done a little dance when Lisa offered me the position."
Jennifer began her career as a graphic designer, leaning toward the digital aspects of such a position, such as landing pages and email marketing. It was when she began working for an agency in Wisconsin that she found herself jumping headfirst into the world of WordPress theme development and web design. However, her discovery of WordPress as a viable and reliable solution happened when she was enrolled in a web design program.
"We were given a real-life client and we had to build them a website," Jennifer explains, "I remember sitting down with the client and discussing their requirements and thinking to myself, 'How are they going to manage this site if they don't understand HTML?'" Up until that point, she had heard of WordPress but had not used it. Her professor recommended she try it, and she was hesitant at first. That quickly changed. "Once I started looking over the documentation and learning how any user, regardless of experience, could update their own site, I was hooked," she exclaims.
Jennifer has a passion for balancing form and function, a quality that makes her an ideal fit for the team at WDS. She compares the challenge to eating your vegetables first so you can jump into dessert.
"If you're taking the client and user needs into account, you can build a solid foundation that meets those requirements," says Jennifer. "Once you have your foundation, it becomes a matter of taking something simple and basic and ideating on it until you've turned it into an experience. A beautiful, state-of-the-art website with all the bells and whistles can be fun to play with, but if it doesn't function in an intuitive way for the user, the project isn't a success."
Jennifer has now been with us a few weeks. She reports that her onboarding has been great and that WebDevStudios has exceeded her expectations.
"Everyone at WDS is friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to hop on a call, or a Slack chat and help you through any issue you come across," says Jennifer. "I'm really enjoying getting to know everyone and diving right into my first design project!" We are, too, Jennifer.
WebDevStudios is hiring! Join our WordPress agency. Take a look at our current job opportunities and apply today.

Jaystarmusician Returns with Message of Happiness in Latest Single, "Buss It Down"
January 08, 2021 – After the huge success of 'Ride or Die', Jaystarmusician is back after a short break. His latest song shares a message of happiness and peace in the challenging circumstances of current times. "Buss it down" carries the up-tempo vibe that listeners will groove to no matter where they are, and the music also gives a new twist to modern UK RnB sounds.
"Buss it down" is penned by Jaystarmusician himself and produced by J Glad. The two partners have been together for a good time with hits like "Soulmate" and "OMG". The new song "Buss it down" is part of an upcoming EP.
Jaystarmusician has earned a huge fan following in France and Africa. His single 'Ride or Die' notched up a massive over 850K streams on Spotify alone without any promotional support. All of this goes to show his genius with music, which he has honed up since the young age of seven. His first breakthrough was at a school competition for which he wrote and produced 'Need You Back'.
Soaking up the musical vibes of the 90s, Jaystarmusician went on to support 'T Pain' in Ivory Coast in 2014 for an event hosted by Orange Mobile Network Africa. He participated in Africa's biggest musical program, 'Afrique Etoiles'. His portfolio includes producing beats and arranging songs for other artists too, and he is also adept with recording, mixing, and mastering.
Among his past achievements and successes, the single "Signs of Making Love" played on channel AKA for five weeks in the top five and on Choice FM by Jenny Francis, and was ranked second in the top 50 songs of 2012.

Jana Riess: How so-called fundamentalist Mormons recovered after the trauma of Warren Jeffs
(Trent Nelson | Tribune file photo) The twin towns of Colorado City, Ariz., and Hildale, Utah, where many FLDS followers reside.
By Jana Riess | Religion News Service
| Sep. 16, 2020, 9:26 p.m.
This week I want to introduce you to an outstanding new podcast that takes listeners behind the scenes of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The polygamist sect's members and ex-members in southern Utah and northern Arizona are still recovering from the trauma inflicted by Warren Jeffs, who has been in prison for more than a decade for the sexual assault of underage girls.
The 10 documentary episodes of "Unfinished: Short Creek" kept me riveted — as people in Short Creek [the name given to the bordering communities of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Ariz.] described what their lives were like before, during and after Jeffs' frightening years as prophet.
The first two episodes became available this week, and there will be a new episode each week after that (or, if you can't wait, you can access all 10 now by subscribing to Stitcher Premium).
I interviewed the series co-hosts, Sarah Ventre (who covered the Department of Justice trial for NPR's KJZZ station in Arizona) and Ash Sanders (a freelance journalist who covers religion and climate change). Our conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
What prompted you to take on this long-form documentary podcast project? It's a huge undertaking.
Ventre • After covering (Jeffs') trial, I was fascinated by the idea that once it was over, the people were going to have to go back to this community and figure out what to do next. They had the potential to shift everything, including social interactions, family structure, land ownership, what law enforcement looks like, and who's in charge.
Sanders • I grew up in Salt Lake City as a mainstream Mormon. I always knew there were fundamentalist Mormons living around me, especially in Short Creek, but it was almost like we weren't supposed to talk about them. Of course, that only piqued my curiosity. But the thing that really pulled me in was when I learned the community was having its first-ever free and fair election in 2017. This was a community that for decades was run entirely by the church. Now, the community's prophet went to prison, and they're transitioning to democracy. What does that look like, and what divides does that create? Can it heal the divides that already exist?
As a historian I was fascinated by the major change over time. People on the outside tend to regard the FLDS as a static religion, but in your second episode, the people say Short Creek was a wonderful place to grow up before describing how Jeffs turned the FLDS into a hate group, basically.
Sanders • Short Creek was originally settled in the 1930s and '40s by fundamentalist Mormons who had split off from the mainstream church. They wanted to take their religion seriously, which for them meant continuing to practice polygamy, and living by the United Order, which meant sharing all things in common. The mainstream church had given up on both of those things, so they founded Short Creek as a refuge where they could practice their beliefs in peace.
The early decades of the community kind of read like a liberal, lefty person's dream community. They shared everything, grew their own food, they were sustainable. They had their own utilities company. They were very close, and gathered together often. People who have left the religion since, but grew up during that time, almost exclusively say that they loved growing up there. It was like being in one big family. They admired their prophet, Leroy Johnson, and they felt like they were working toward a common good.
For most people, it wasn't until Rulon and Warren Jeffs came to power that they saw their community changing in a way that was terrifying to them.
What changes did Warren Jeffs make?
More than anything, he got involved in the intimate details of people's lives — what they could eat and watch and wear, who they could talk to. He used a Brigham Young quote that people had to "leave apostates alone severely." This meant that if anyone left the religion, they would no longer be able to talk to their families. He also gained power over all of the land in the community, so if someone left, he could take away their houses and their cars and even their jobs. He controlled all of that. He created a situation where he demanded absolute loyalty, and if people didn't want to give him absolute loyalty, he could take everything away from them, even their families.
How did you find people to talk to? Like Elissa from the opening episode, who was married against her will at age 14?
Ventre • Because Ash and I had done parallel reporting before we met each other, we found people in different ways. For me, the very first source I had was a witness in the DOJ case, who I interviewed during a break at the courthouse. I kept in touch with him and asked if we could talk a little more, and then eventually he invited me to a Fourth of July celebration. When I came to that Fourth of July, that just busted the door wide open for me. The people at the Fourth of July were mostly ex-believers, people who had left or been kicked out of the church at some point.
For me it was really just starting to walk around and talk to people. Elissa is well-known in that community because she has written a book. She's also very famous for challenging Warren Jeffs in court. She's definitely someone I knew I wanted to meet and talk to, but she was part of a tapestry of many people, where it was generally a kind of organic thing where people in the community introduced me to other people.
Sarah, you also embedded in Short Creek for three months, renting a room in the house of the former prophet. What was that like?
Ventre • It was a really interesting experience. It was great to live in town because it gives you a certain kind of access that you don't have when you're just visiting. It means you get to see people in their own natural environment, like if you run into someone at the grocery store or you happen to be at the park when they're there playing with their kids. I think it makes it a little easier for people to trust you, to let their guard down. Ash and I feel that we've asked our sources to be so vulnerable with us — sharing what are in some cases very traumatic experiences and the most personal parts of their lives — so it was important for them to see us in vulnerable moments, too, like when I was not totally put together, or when I was super tired at a late-night City Council meeting.
The actual living in the former prophet's house was a really practical decision, believe it or not. It's hard to find a small, one-bedroom apartment in a place like Short Creek, because the houses were all built for very large families. Since I was there by myself, living in the prophet's house was surprisingly the most practical option.
But it was also a bit surreal, because the entire time that people were talking to us about Rulon and Warren Jeffs and the things that they did, I was living in a room that presumably was lived in by one of Rulon Jeffs' wives at one time. Looking out the window of my bedroom into the courtyard, there's a message in the brickwork on the chimney that says "keep sweet" [an oft-repeated mantra Jeffs used to ensure obedience, especially from women].
It was a constant reminder, every time I looked out the window, that I was in a place that is constantly changing. At one time, this was the prophet's house, but now it's just a hotel with about 40 rooms and apartments. There were lots of people coming to visit and staying there, many from other countries. You heard other languages spoken in the hallways.
Were there any stories you just knew had to be told?
Sanders • The story that really pulled me in was Donia Jessop's [the mayor of Hildale and recognized by USA Today last month as one of Utah's most remarkable women]. As I said, I was really interested in the election as a profound turning point in the town's history. What struck me most about Donia's story, and the stories of a lot of the ex-believers in Short Creek, was that although they had experienced so much pain at the hands of the church and most of them left the church and the community, many of them later came back to fight for it to be better.
I think that's hard for a lot of outsiders to understand. People like the "escape" narrative, but they don't understand the "return" narrative. Donia was a person who left for very good reasons, but she returned because she wanted to be with her community. She ran into a lot of heat when she came back and decided to make things better. When she won the election, most of the members of the City Council and staff quit because they wouldn't work with an apostate or a woman.
I was fascinated by that election. The FLDS had never lived in a functioning democracy, or voted in a way that actually mattered, or had the power to change anything. And here they were returning home to do exactly that. Here is suspense on a psychological level: Is it possible for people to come together after so much pain, and is it possible for democracy to bring this town into a new future when so many people don't want the town to change at all?

Turmeric for Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
More in CFS & Fibromyalgia
Understanding Fibromyalgia

CFS & Fibromyalgia

Turmeric is a bright yellow spice that's frequently found in curry-spice blends. The root, related to ginger, is popular in Indian, Thai and Moroccan cuisines, and it's also long been used in traditional Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine.
Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which research suggests may offer several health benefits that could help alleviate symptoms of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Up until now, though, no studies have examined it specifically for these conditions.
While we do have some research on turmeric/curcumin, more studies need to be done to nail down exactly what it can do for us. The spice is believed to be an:
Topical antiseptic
It's been used as a treatment for multiple ailments, including:
Cancer, to prevent the spread of tumors
Gallbladder function
Protecting against Alzheimer's disease, when paired with vitamin D
Protecting against liver damage
Reducing breast cancer risk in menopausal women using hormone replacement therapy
Reducing the risk of type-2 diabetes
When taken as a supplement, the typical dose of curcumin is between 450 milligrams and 3 grams daily. Optimal doses for specific uses haven't been well-established by research.
Turmeric can also be brewed into a tea by steeping 1-1.5 grams of the dried root for 15 minutes, twice a day.
Turmeric/Curcumin in Your Diet
Adding curcumin to your diet, through turmeric, is fairly simple. However, it may be difficult to get a therapeutic dosage through diet alone.
In India, where turmeric is used in a lot of traditional foods, average dietary intake is estimated to be between 60 and 200 milligrams per day. That's far lower than the therapeutic dosage.
Studies have shown that turmeric/curcumin may cause some side effects, including:
Increased risk of bleeding
Hair loss (in animal studies)
Lowered blood pressure (in animal studies)
Increased risk of kidney stones in people prone to them
Turmeric's safety hasn't been established for children.
Caution is urged when consuming turmeric during pregnancy, because of the possibility that it may stimulate the uterus and lead to menstrual-type bleeding.
Any time you're considering a new supplement, you should discuss it with your doctor and pharmacy to make sure you're not creating any dangerous interactions or other problems.

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra's S Pen is 3x faster than Galaxy Note20 Ultra Version [Video]
Mon 7 Jumada Al Akhira 1443AH 10-1-2022AD
A new video has just surfaced that reveals some fascinating details about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and its S Pen. This new stylus appears to be three times faster than the one that came with the Galaxy Note20 Ultra.
The information comes from a XEETECHCARE YouTube video. While we've already covered a number of reports and rumors about the Galaxy S22 Ultra's specifications, the new video provides more information about the device's S Pen.
With the South Korean tech giant intent on continuing the Note series with its annual flagship's Ultra models, Galaxy Note fans may welcome the new information. According to reports, the brand has improved the stylus, which is now three times faster than the Galaxy Note20 Ultra.
According to the video, the company worked on the S Pen to reduce the input delay or latency to just 2.8 ms when paired with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. This is more than three times faster than the S Pen's 9 ms input lag on the Galaxy Note20 Ultra.
According to the YouTuber, Samsung's goal with this enhancement is to provide users with a handwriting experience that is as close to the real thing as possible. He even referred to it as "the fastest, most realistic S Pen with three times the pen latency."
Aside from that, the Tech YouTuber revealed that the upcoming flagship series' top-end model will be the first to support the 12-bit HDR standard. Unfortunately, this is still an unverified report, so take it with a grain of salt for the time being. The Galaxy S22 series is expected to be released in February 2022, so stay tuned for more information.

Proposed bill could increase penalties for trespassing at pipelines
Posted: 10:45 PM, Apr 05, 2018
Arrests at a protest against the Bayou Bridge Pipeline today in Calcasieu parish.
Three people were arrested and are facing trespassing charges.
Now, lawmakers are considering a bill that could affect protests against the project.
At the capitol, a New Roads lawmaker is proposing a bill that would increase the penalties for trespassing on certain sites.
Among the proposed sites are pipelines.
If HB 727 passes, protestors arrested at places like pipeline construction sites would face felony charges, punishable by up to five years in prison or a $1,000 fine.
Even conspiring to trespass on these sites would result in the same penalties.
"The company behind the bayou bridge pipeline has a terrible track record of accidents, but we're saying let's protect our crawfish, let's protect our water, let's protect our state for our children's future," said Anne Rolfes, director of the Louisiana Bucket Brigade.
The Bayou Bridge Pipeline, isn't without controversy.
Under construction right now, the 163-mile pipeline will link refineries to hubs in Texas.
It's part of a larger interstate pipeline that includes the Dakota Access Pipeline in North Dakota, which was also the scene of protests.
Protestors like Rolfes, aren't discouraged by the pending bill. They say their work is too important.
"If you go into the Atachafalya Basin you will see that significant parts are dead because the oil industry has laid so many pipelines there. But even now every day in our swamps, every day in the places we like to hunt and fish there are spills, there are leaks, there are problems," she said.
Energy Transfer Partners, the company building the bayou bridge pipeline released a statement expressing strong support for the bill.
"We understand there are varying opinions about critical infrastructure projects like the Bayou Bridge Pipeline, and we respect the rights of all to peacefully protest. However, safety remains our top priority and in this instance, local law enforcement was called due to protestors creating a potentially unsafe situation for our workers and for themselves. When completed, the Bayou Bridge Pipeline will be the safest, most environmentally sensitive and least expensive way to transport domestically produced energy…"
But protesters think the bill is a bullying tactic and are concerned about potential impacts to the environment.
"You know, we're on the right side and it's hard to see exactly how we're going to win because the odds are against us but we have faith that we will," said Rolfes.
ACLU has also released a statement saying they are in opposition to the bill and the national organization is tracking it.
Right now it has passed through the committee and is pending house floor action.

Matt Ulery: Pollinator
Woolgathering Records
Pollinator is Matt Ulery's an ebullient program of swing music celebrating the spirit of the roaring 20's, 100 years later. Ulery brings his stunning compositional prowess to this centennial homage, merging sophisticated composure with ensemble improvisation, making a bold statement about the vitality of this music going into its second century. Harkening back to the instrumentation of the classic New Orleans brass bands of yesteryear, Ulery returns back to his first instrument, the sousaphone. Ulery is joined by his sextet of diverse, prolific players including trumpeter James Davis, tenor saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi, trombonist Steve Duncan, pianist Paul Bedal, and drummer Quin Kirchner. Released on Ulery's own Woolgathering Records, Pollinator will be available on all digital platforms, and as a CD and limited edition vinyl LP on August 4th, 2020.
Recalling the iconic sounds of King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Lil Hardin, and Duke Ellington, Pollinator is abounding in the infectious grooves and spontaneous group improvisation which Ulery notes are two of the most exciting aspects of the jazz artform to have survived and flourished within the music over the course of the past 100 years. The composer remarks, "With respect, we'd like to present this art project with joy, humor, and sincerity in celebration of the innovators that helped give birth to this revolutionary age of American art music."
The remarkable performances captured on this recording is rivaled only by the sincerity of the compositions displayed on the album. Ulery's compositional style, known for its sweeping lyricism, unconventional phrase structures and expressionistic emotionalism sits perfectly in the context of a more traditional idiom. Tracks such as the album's opener, "Clown Drum" and "Jelly" are filled with whimsy, excitement and dynamic interplay. "Clown Drum"s remarkable melody line harmonization by trumpeter James Davis and tenor saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi is accented by harmonic interplay from trombonist Steve Duncan and pianist Paul Bedal, while the tight-knit rhythm section of Ulery and Kirchner propel the piece forward in full swing. Davis and Laurenzi demonstrate their striking facility on their instruments with soulful improvisations.
The dazzling harmonic intrigue of "Jelly" provides a low-down, gritty exhilaration that one might've expected while walking into a downtown speakeasy in bygone days. Davis, Laurenzi and Kirchner deliver fiery solos on this evocative piece. Tracks such as "Feed" and "Clover" call to mind a slower, more sultry aspect of the music that one might hear in the period celebrated by this release. "Feed" demonstrates a slower sophistication than some of the album's other sonic outings. Darker in timbre, the piece is reminiscent of a requiem, perhaps mourning the loss of many of the architects of the African American roots music, jazz and swing that spawned this album's inception. The album ends with a leisurely, crepuscular triple-meter piece, "Clover" which builds into a spirited group improvisation, further revealing the group's cohesiveness and musical intuition.
Making the parallel between the infamous prohibition that set the tone for the 1920's jazz age, and the restrictive nature of our pandemic-inflicted reality that has marked the beginning of the 2020's, Ulery notes "We didn't expect to be releasing this record in such an extreme time of prohibition but we'd like to invite you to put this album on, move to it, let some light in, and feel free and good."

Editor's Note: Did you know all this about bananas?
A banana is the most unique of all fruit because unlike any fruit it does not come from trees at all but from large plants that are giant herbs and are related to the lily and orchid family.
In order to have a healthy lifestyle, you have to meet your daily requirement of five fruits and vegetables. Bananas are a perfect part of your diet and they are the most popular fruit in America. Bananas are available all year and they are a great source of instant energy whether you are watching your diet or just trying to eat healthy. Like other fruits and vegetables, bananas contain no fat, sodium or cholesterol. It is a known fact that a low fat, balanced diet rich in vegetables and fruit may reduce the risk of heart disease and certain types of cancer. Bananas are rich in vitamin B6 and they are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium and potassium. Lack of B6 in a diet can cause weakness, irritability and insomnia.
The potassium found in bananas helps to regulate blood pressure and may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Potassium is also essential for helping muscles to contract properly during exercise and reduces cramping up.
A medium-sized banana provides 400 mg of potassium -11% of daily value- and contains 110 calories and 4 grams of fiber. Bananas also contain plenty of carbohydrates which are the body's main source of energy. They are also easy to digest.
Because of their great taste, they can also serve as a substitute for sweets and satisfy sugar cravings. Research also shows that serotonin and norepinephrine in bananas may naturally help sufferers overcome depression. They are the good mood food.
Convenience and nutritional value of bananas make them a good post-exercise snack. During long exercises your body loses vitamins and minerals and a banana replaces these nutrients as well as giving you the energy you need.
Bananas are good for babies, too. They are in fact often the first solid food given to infants. Bananas are easy to digest because they have no fat and very few babies are allergic to bananas. They are also one of children's favorite snacks because of their taste and they meet the energy needs of the growing children.
Green tipped bananas should be selected for cooking or ripening, yellow ones should be selected for eating and brown-specked ones should be selected for baking breads, muffins and cookies. As the bananas ripen, they will taste sweeter because the starch in the fruit will turn to sugar. You can toss bananas to your cereals, salads, yogurt, salsa, smoothie or shakes.
You should store your bananas over the counter at room temperature until they reach the ripeness you want, then you can store them in the refrigerator. The peel of the fruit will darken in the refrigerator but the banana inside will remain firm and delicious. To ripen a banana faster, it should be put in a brown paper bag with an apple or tomato overnight.

Obama Takes Tax Rate Increases Off the Table

From The Hill yesterday:
"The White House, seeking an agreement to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt ceiling by Aug. 2, on Monday said it would not insist that any deal include an end to former President George W. Bush's controversial tax rates on the wealthy…The White House said the president is pushing the GOP to agree to eliminate some tax breaks for businesses and loopholes for wealthier taxpayers, but is not seeking to eliminate the across-the-board rates introduced by President Bush. That means taxpayers who earn more than $250,000 annually have gotten a reprieve.
Obama still wants to scrap the Bush-era rates, but with time running out on the debt-ceiling talks, he made clear Monday that he has a new range of targets."
Translation: He's being "forced" into it—again. Do you get it yet, Democrats? Is it starting to sink in? President Obama doesn't want to end the Bush Obama tax rates. This makes two–count 'em two–opportunities he's had to make good on the smoke he blew during the 2008 campaign about ending the tax cuts. Both times he's passed. In short, he's just not that into you. On the other hand, he's very much into these guys. Wake up and smell the coffee.
Oh sure, there will be some "revenue increases" included in what Dylan Ratigan appropriately calls the "pro wrestling" debt limit negotiations. Appropriate because the outcome is pre-determined, what we see now is just the preliminary theatrics. But like with so many other things the president says—like his creative interpretation of what constitutes "hostilities" for example— you have to carefully parse his words.
There will be "revenue increases" in the form of a few tax breaks ended, a few loopholes closed, and a few fees raised, but nothing that amounts to much in the big picture. Piddling amounts like this:
"Obama's budget wants $85 billion in new user fees over 10 years, including raising the airline passenger security fee from a maximum of $5 per one-way trip to $11. Other proposals range from Food and Drug Administration food inspection fees to duck hunting fees. The $85 billion also includes federal auction of parts of the broadcast spectrum and the sale of surplus federal property."
This is also being floated:
"The administration also would tax private equity or hedge fund managers at higher income tax rates instead of lower capital gains rates.."
Yeah, right. President Obama is going to raise taxes on the same guys he sucks up to at $35,000 a plate fundraisers. The same guys he plays kissy-face with to get contributions for his re-election campaign. That'll be the day.
If you need further evidence of how seriously this whole song and dance is being taken by the powers that be, despite the screams about the alleged financial catastrophe that will happen if an agreement isn't reached by August 2:
"Complicating matters is the congressional schedule. While the Senate is in session, the House is off this week ahead of the July 4 holiday. The House is scheduled to return next week when the Senate will be away."
Pro wrestling indeed. The Hulkster would be proud.
William Black: "Fire Holder, Fire Geithner, Fire Bernanke"

Lisa Epstein and William Black on Dylan Ratigan's show yesterday:
Speaking of Geithner telling "one lie after another":
"The United States Treasury concealed $40 billion in likely taxpayer losses on the bailout of the American International Group earlier this month, when it abandoned its usual method for valuing investments, according to a report by the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program.
"In our view, this is a significant failure in their transparency," said Neil M. Barofsky, the inspector general, in an interview on Monday."
Zero Hedge has more of Mr. Barofsky's report:
"This conduct has left the Treasury vulnerable to charges it has manipulated its methodology for calculating losses to present two different numbers depending on its audience: one designed for release in early October as part of a multifaceted publicity campaign touting the positive aspects of TARP and emphasizing the reduction in anticipated losses, and one, audited by the GAO for release in November as part of a larger audited financial statement. Here again, Treasury's unfortunate insensitivity to the values of transparency has led it to engage in conduct that risks further damaging public trust in the Government."
'Manipulated its methodology for calculating losses?" Didn't Jeff Skilling and Andy Fastow go to prison for that?
"Risks further damaging public trust in the Government?" Is that even possible?
Foreclosure Fraud Just the Tip of the Iceberg

Dylan Ratigan, Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, and Karl Denninger of The Market Ticker unravel foreclosure fraud:
To reiterate, the fraud in foreclosures that we're seeing now is just the tip of the iceberg. The purpose is to try and cover up, and cover for, the fraud in the mortgage process all the way back to the origination of the mortgages, which were then packaged into securities and fraudulently sold to investors as AAA quality, a rating gained by paying off the ratings agencies. As our parents always told us, one lie requires another one to cover up the first one, which requires another lie to cover up the second one, and so on, and so on, and…….
In my opinion, that's why the Senate tried to sneak through the legislation that President Obama vetoed—it would have given the big banks protection from liability in this entire mess. As an aside–again just my opinion– but the only reason the president vetoed the bill was because of the attention it received and the light that was shone on its alleged "unintended consequences" (and if you'll buy that….) My cynical nature when it comes to politicians tells me that "sending the bill back for modifications" translates into, 'We'll try again when the heat's off.'
It's also why, according to David Axelrod, the hope in the White House is that "this moves rapidly and that this gets unwound very, very quickly." And why the White House opposes a national moratorium on foreclosures. A moratorium would give investigators and especially some 40 states' attorneys general time to delve back into fraud and deceit at every level of the process
As Mr. Denninger explained, the only remedy is to force the big banks to buy back the toxic securities that they sold to investors under false pretenses. They can't do that, which means Chase, BofA, et al, are insolvent. Actually, they're insolvent now but for the phony profits from peddling this garbage to unsuspecting investors.
There is a provision in the financial reform legislation for resolution authority, that is breaking up large financial institutions that pose a "systemic risk" to the entire economy. Will Congress use it or will they do what they have done in the past and bail out their Wall Street cronies and contributors—again. If Republicans take control of Congress will they hold true to their campaign rhetoric of "no more bailouts" or will they dance to the tune of their big donors on Wall Street?
We may soon find out.
Are Goldman Charges the Tip of the Iceberg?

Could Friday's news that the Securities and Exchange Commission is bringing civil charges of fraud against Goldman Sachs be the tip of the iceberg? Consider what has happened since then.
The German government is considering legal action against Goldman.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for investigations into the bank's role in the mortgage market.
"The SEC is investigating whether other mortgage deals arranged by some of Wall Street's biggest firms may have crossed the line into misleading investors.
S.E.C. Enforcement Director Robert Khuzami told CNBC, "We have brought and will continue to pursue cases involving the products and practices related to the financial crisis." … a wide range of cases are currently being investigated."
Subprime mortgage king Countrywide is also in the crosshairs:
"Federal criminal investigators looking into the collapse of Countrywide Financial Corp. have been calling witnesses before a grand jury, say people familiar with the matter."
Former Goldman employees are starting to talk, implicating company execs up to and including CEO Lloyd Blankfein in Goldman's profiting from the housing market collapse.
Dylan Ratigan has a basic explanation of what Goldman and others were doing. The analogy goes like this—they were selling cars with faulty brakes and then taking out life insurance policies on the people to whom those cars were sold.
But it was even more sinister than that. Goldman not only sold the car with faulty brakes, while telling the buyers that the brakes were good, they designed the car to have faulty brakes, knowing that it was going to crash at some point. So they profited on both ends, selling the car they knew would crash and then collecting the life insurance when it crashed.
Those who are quick to dismiss the charges against Goldman as a tempest in a teapot, something that will quickly blow over after the firm pays a small (relative to their size) fine and goes on their merry way should remember this. It was a night watchman who found a piece of tape on a lock on a door at the Watergate Hotel which led to an investigation which culminated in the resignation of a president.
The question now is do we have a modern-day Woodward and Bernstein? Do we have a modern-day Ben Bradlee who will defy the powers that be and publish the information those reporters uncover in spite of the possible repercussions that those powers may bring to bear? Do we have a modern-day Sam Ervin in Congress? Is there a modern-day John Dean? An ethical person with inside knowledge of the activities at Goldman and other Wall Street giants who is willing to talk?
Time will tell.
