Honda has been in the spotlight for the past few days for its surprise strike with the prickly CBR250RR- a concept that still has time to see daylight. As for the present day- the Japanese manufacturer has unveiled the 2015 Honda CB Twister 250 for the Brazilian market.

Powering the new Honda is a single cylinder air cooled 249.5cc DOHC fuel injected motor with an oil cooler that produces a healthy 22.6 bhp of max power @ 7500 rpm and peak torque of 22.4 nm @ 6000 rpm transmitted to the rear wheel through a six speed gearbox. Like other Brazilian oriented motorcycles- the engine on the new Twister 250 has been tuned to run on ethanol premix fuel.

The styling is very similar to Brazil specific Honda CB300R and it needs to be seen if the 2015 Honda CB Twister 250 will be sold alongside the CB300R or if the latter is slated to be phased out and be replaced by the new 250.

Back Pain Patients Seek Pain Relief First, Mobility Second
MONDAY, Sept. 21, 2015 (HealthDay News) — Pain relief is a greater concern than mobility for people with a common form of lower back pain known as lumbar spinal stenosis, a new study indicates.

Steroid Injections Probably Won’t Help Your Lower Back Pain

Myth: Only women with a family history of breast cancer are at risk.
Reality: Roughly 70% of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no identifiable risk factors for the disease. But the family-history risks are these: If a first-degree relative (a parent, sibling, or child) has had or has breast cancer, your risk of developing the disease approximately doubles. Having two first-degree relatives with the disease increases your risk even more.

Myth: Wearing an underwire bra increases your risk of getting breast cance
Reality: Claims that underwire bras compress the lymphatic system of the breast, causing toxins to accumulate and cause breast cancer, have been widely debunked as unscientific. The consensus is that neither the type of bra you wear nor the tightness of your underwear or other clothing has any connection to breast cancer risk.

Myth: Most breast lumps are cancerous.
Reality: Roughly 80% of lumps in women's breasts are caused by benign (noncancerous) changes, cysts, or other conditions. Doctors encourage women to report any changes at all, however, because catching breast cancer early is so beneficial. Your doctor may recommend a mammogram, ultrasound, or biopsy to determine whether a lump is cancerous.

Myth: Exposing a tumor to air during surgery causes cancer to spread.
Reality: Surgery doesn't cause breast cancer and it doesn't cause breast cancer to spread, as far as scientists can tell from the research so far.

Your doctor may find out during surgery that your cancer is more widespread than previously thought, however. And some animal studies have shown that removing the primary tumor sometimes enables metastatic cancers to grow, but only temporarily; this has not been demonstrated in humans.


Myth: Breast implants can raise your cancer risk.
Reality: Women with breast implants are at no greater risk of getting breast cancer, according to research. Standard mammograms don't always work as well on these women, however, so additional X-rays are sometimes needed to more fully examine breast tissue.

The highly-anticipated Mitsubishi 2016 Pajero Sport will be unveiled to the world on August 1, 2015. A day before its official debut at the 2015 Bangkok Big Motor Sale, a Thai website has reported that new Mitsubishi Pajero Sport will be offered in three variants; namely, GLS, GT and GT with all-wheel drive. The GLS variant will be priced at 1.138 million Baht (INR 20.69 lakh)* and the GT variant will be priced at 1.25 million Baht (INR 22.72 lakh)*, and the top-end GT AWD variant will wear a price tag of 1.45 million Baht (INR 26.36 lakh)*. The website has also snapped a picture of the new SUV’s rear. The biggest change noticed here are the new vertically-oriented taillights, over the predecessor’s horizontally-oriented units.


*Note – Expected Thai prices mentioned
The front fascia of the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport wears the carmaker’s new ‘Dynamic Shield’ design, similar to one found on the new-gen Outlander. Other design touches include a set of sleek headlamps, aggressively styled, chrome-garnished front grille, muscular wheel arches, LED DRLs, plus blackened B- and C-pillars.


Underneath, the 2016 Mitsubishi Pajero Sport is based on the new-generation Triton pickup truck. The Japanese carmaker will likely use the Triton’s 2.4-litre turbo-diesel, four-cylinder, MIVEC engine that develops 181 PS of power and 430 Nm of twist; the powerplant will be mated to a 6-speed manual and automatic transmission. Having said that, Mitsubishi may also offer an all-new 8-speed unit with the 2016 Pajero Sport, though that remains to be seen. Concerning the AWD variants, power from the motor will be sent to all four wheels via Mitsubishi’s Super Select all-wheel drive system.
