Aprilia RSV4 Factory APRC Features and Benefits

ENGINE

The first high performance narrow V four cylinder engine in the world; the most revolutionary engine ever made by Aprilia is incomparable thanks to its unique “total electronics” package, itsincredible lightness and super compact size, reaches a new stage in evolution. The engine has been updated and improved with particular attention paid to reducing internal friction and increasing casing ventilation. The exhaust system too has been remodelled to provide maximum performance working in combination with a finely tuned electronic management system. This brings the maximum power of the 65° V4 to 184 CV with torque now arriving at 117 Nm. The 3 distinct mappings (Track, Sport and Road), were matched to the new power and torque specifications of the V4 to provide even fuller and in-depth power output at any engine speed.

APRC
THE NEW FRONTIER IN TECHNOLOGY

aPRC (Aprilia Performance Ride Control), which comes as standard, is the well-known system control package that comes directly from race winning experience gained in the Superbike series. It is the most complete, sophisticated package there is out of those currently on the market. aPRC includes:
• aTC: Aprilia Traction Control, automatically adjusts to different types of tyres, with 8 settings that can be conveniently selected on the move from a joystick on the left handlebar without closing the throttle;
• aWC: Aprilia Wheelie Control, with three settings;
• aLC: Aprilia Launch Control, for use on the track only, with 3 settings;
• aQS: Aprilia Quick Shift, for ultra-fast gear shifting without closing the throttle or using the clutch.
On the Aprilia RSV4 Factory ABS, the aPRC system has been further developed: it now integrates even better with the full Ride by Wire electronic multi-map V4 engine management system to meet the specific needs of both road users and professional race riders. The performance of the system provides smoother power delivery for improved high speed cornering but does not penalise traction on exiting low speed bends. In addition to this second generation aPRC, the new RSV4 also adopts a highly advanced ABS multi-map system that ensures not just maximum safety on the road but even better performance on the track.

BENEFITS OF SLEEP

Here are  reasons why getting a good night's shut eye will set you up for a brighter day.

keep your figure

Watching your weight can be as simple as getting a good night's sleep. Lack of sleep can make you put on weight by drastically slowing your metabolism down, getting plenty of sleep might prevent weight gain.

You can concentrate better

We have all woken up after a good night's sleep ready to take on the world. 

You'll be in a great mood

Nearly two thirds of people blame lack of sleep when they feel irritable. The lack of sleep and the ensuing tiredness is likely impacting on people's judgment, problem-solving and creativity."

You'll look more attractive

Regular shut-eye actually makes you look healthier and more attractive, according to a 2010 study published in the British Medical Journal. Researchers photographed 23 people after a period of sleep deprivation and after a normal night's sleep of eight hours. The photos were shown to 65 people who rated each photo based on health attractiveness and tiredness. The sleep deprived group scored lower in all three categories.

Ability to make better informed decisions

We've all heard of sleeping on a problem, in the hope that come morning the solution will be clear. Well scientists have found that when you do this your brain still looks for a solution, even when you're asleep. Even if you don't wake up with an answer, a good night's sleep will equip your brain to assess the problem afresh.

You'll live longer

Regularly sleeping less than you should is associated with a shorter lifespan, although it is not clear whether little sleep is the cause, or an effect of other illnesses. Studies have found people who routinely sleep for fewer than six hours a night have a higher risk of dying sooner than people of a similar age who sleep for seven or eight hours a night.

You're less likely to get ill

Lack of sleep can suppress your immune system, which makes you more vulnerable to infections. 

You'll remember things clearly

During deep sleep the brain goes through our impressions of the day in a process vital to memory formation. A study published in the journal Sleep found people who slept fewer than six hours a night for two weeks scored far worse on memory tests than those who slept eight hours.

You'll have better sex

The better rested you are, the better sex you'll have, 

My love animal “Cat”

I have many cat at my house, my family love a cat very much. Now days we have 10 cats still alive with us. The cat is very soft and cute, they can make our family relationship more strong. The cat also can live memorable to us   because the personality each of a cat are different. Some of them will kill another life things like bird, mouse and etc. I love cat very much. 

The First Grain Foods

Before human beings learned to plant, they gathered wild foods. The seeds of various wild grasses, the   ancestors of modern grains, were rich in nutrients and valued by prehistoric peoples as important foods. These seeds, unlike modern grains, had husks that clung tightly to them. People learned that by toasting the seeds, probably on hot rocks, they could loosen the husks and then remove them by beating the seeds with wooden tools.

The early development of grain foods took place mostly in the eastern Mediterranean regions, because, it seems, this was an area where wild grains were especially abundant.

  Because of the lack of cooking utensils, it is probable that the earliest grain preparation was made by toasting dry gains, pounding them to a meal with rocks, and mixing the meal to a paste with water. Because the grains had already been cooked by toasting them to remove the husks, the paste needed no further cooking. Later it was discovered that some of this paste, if laid on a hot stone next to a fire, turned into a flatbreads, such as tortillas, are still important foods in many cultures

Unleavened flatbreads made from rain pastes are the first step in the development of breads as we know them.

To understand how breads developed, one must also understand a little about how grains developed. Modern yeast bread depend on a combination of certain proteins to give them their structure. For all practical purposes, only wheat and its relatives contain enough of these proteins, which form an elastic substance called gluten. A few other grains also contain gluten proteins, but they do not form as good a structure as wheat gluten.

Further, the proteins must be raw in order to form gluten. Because the earliest wild grains had to be heated in order to be freed from their husks, they could be used only to make grain pastes or porridges, not true breads. Over time, prehistoric people learned to plan seeds and, eventually, they planted only seeds of plants whose seeds were easiest to process. As result, hybrid varieties developed whose husks could be removed without heating the grains. Without this step, modern breads could not have come about.

Causes of poor concentration

1.       Vocabulary difficulties

Efficient and concentrated speed reading relies upon a smooth flow of information with few interruptions in understanding. Pauses to look up words or to ponder will break your concentration and slow your understanding of the whole. If you come across a word that you don’t understand when reading, rather than looking it up straight away. Underline it and      review it afterwards.

2.       Conceptual  difficulties

If you don’t really understand the concepts you are reading about, you will have difficulty concentrating. To get past this obstacle, choose one of the guiding techniques outlined and use skimming and scanning as ways of multiple reading the material until it becomes familiar to you.

3.       Inappropriate reading speed

Many people believe (because that is what they were thought) that reading things slowly and carefully will help understanding and comprehension. This approach I actually counter-productive and, far from aiding your brain, reading slowly will actually slow it down. To check this out, try reading the following statement exactly as it is laid out. Read it ‘slowly and carefully’.

BENEFIT OF MIND MAP

1.       They enable you to keep the whole knowledge ‘picture’ in view at all times, thus giving you a more balanced and comprehensive understanding of the subject in its entirety 

2.       They take up far less space than linear notes. Between 10 and 1000 pages of text can be summarized on one large Mind Maps page.

3.       They give your brain a central focus and structure within which to integrate your knowledge of any subject.

4.       They increase your brain’s ‘hunger’ for knowledge.

5.       They allow you to relate your own thoughts and ideas to those expressed in books, lectures or presentations.

6.       They are far more effective and efficient for review purposes.

7.       They enhance your memory and understanding of textbooks, study guides, lectures and coursework, enabling you to excel in any course of study.

Conquer the fear

Use strategies to overcome the natural fear of public speaking

Some would argue that the number-one fear is speaking in public. This fear is common to both rookie and veteran presenters. In our experience, we have found we can eliminate most of the nervousness through simple preparation and active rehearsal, a little more through deep breathing, and whatever remains through mental preparation.

Here are the strategies:

Ø  Spend the time and energy to prepare and rehearse, especially your opening, since this is time when the fear is greatest.

Ø  Take deep breaths and hold each for four five seconds. Exhale with a controlled, slow release. Then inhale deeply and repeat.

Ø  Silence the negative voice3e in your head. Feed your mind positive affirmations, ones that give your power and confidence.

Ø  Finally, focus your mind on your audience. This way you will not have time to worry about yourself.

Karate

             

              Here, special emphasis is placed on attack deflection. Most punches or knife lunges are performed straight toward you, not in an arc. Few fighters are stupid enough to try a looping haymaker.

               Thus, step to the side, creating a lateral line toward the attacker’s arm, strike the attacker’s punch or knife hand, then quickly strike his lower side, belly, or back with your other fist. This is very difficult to defend against, and most likely he will not be able to. Push forward and throw a knee into his quadriceps. This hurts like crazy.

              Strikes to the face and head are important, but the attacker will expect them, so instead, block his right-handed attack with your left fist (or vice versa), and punch with your other hand straight into the soft spot below his sternum as hard as possible, twisting the hips. This target is the solar plexus, and will incapacitate him as effectively as a strike to the groin.

               Or, if he charges forward, snap a front kick straight up with the ball of the foot planted as hard as possible into his stomach or solar plexus, not the groin. If one of the former targets is struck, the attacker will be forced back in agony, by means of his center of gravity. He is leaning forward while charging, and a kick to his groin will cause him to lunge into you.

KICK BOXING

            

           Firstly, and this is true for all these entries, if you’re on the street and a stranger attempts to mug you, or worse, he most likely doesn’t know any particular fighting style, other than “swing for the fences and keep moving forward.”

            There are quite a few offshoots of kickboxing, the most famous of which is Muay Thai, which roughly translates to “art of the eight limbs.”

         Kickboxing for self-defense concentrates on its version of punches, knees, and kicks: fast-paced, distracting, and aimed at all available openings. If the attacker has a knife or gun, and is within arm’s reach, he will use the weapon. The defender is thus armed with more weapons, hands, feet, knees, elbows, head.

         Simply walk toward the attacker (who has any weapon but a gun), and throw a front kick straight up a gainst his chin as hard as possible. Kickboxing thrives on this sort of move, and teaches the practitioner to execute it with such extreme speed, faster than the attacker can react, that it virtually rules out the risk of “fancy kicks.” Do it correctly and it will almost always break his jaw, crush his larynx, shatter his teeth, force him to bite off his tongue, etc. He will not fight after this. This sort of kick is well trained to the point that it can, in fact, be delivered efficiently, that is, quickly and powerfully, without being telegraphed.

             Alternatively, step to the side, grab the attackers weapon arm, and sling your forehead into the his nose. This will not hurt you nearly as much as you think. The attacker’s nose, on the other hand, will shatter like a firecracker.

       Well trained kickboxers practice something called “combat qi”,which is the physical conditioning of any part of the body through repeated damage, until it no longer sends sufficient pain signals to the brain to bother the person. Kickboxers will roll a baseball bat handle up and down the shin firmly enough to cause aching, for about an hour a day for 2 years. The tibia is repeatedly damaged and rebuilds itself stronger and thicker. Eventually, the kickboxer can kick the baseball bat in half with his or her shin, and not feel pain.

What is Martial Arts

          

           Martial arts are codified systems and traditions of combat practices, which are practiced for a variety of reasons: self-defense , competition, physical health and fitness, entertainment, as well as mental, physical, and spiritual development.

             Although the term martial art has become associated with the fighting arts of eastern Asia, it was originally referred to the combat systems of Europe as early as the 1550s. The term is derived from Latin, and means "arts of Mars", the Roman god of war. Some authors have argued that fighting arts or fighting systems would be more appropriate on the basis that many martial arts were never "martial" in the sense of being used or created by professional warriors.
