AUSTIN, Texas Despite advances in medicine and technology, childbirth isn t likely to get much easier on women from a biological perspective.
Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin and University of Vienna revealed in new research a series of evolutionary trade-offs that have created a near-perfect balance between supporting childbirth and keeping organs intact on a day-to-day basis. Human reproduction is unique because of the comparatively tight fit between the birth canal and baby s head, and it is likely to stay that way because of these competing biological imperatives.

The Honda leading links like the C90 are adequate for the style of bikes they were mostly used on, but because they depend on the fairly small axle to brace them against twist they would not be very good for anything with sporting pretensions. We had a Honda Benley 150 in the family once, I was keeping it going for my brother in law to ride. It wasn t a young bike then, being a 61 model in use during the mid seventies. It had a very comfy ride, and good anti dive geometry, which was a bit disconcerting for those used to teles, but fine in practice. It made an interesting comparison to the Tiger Cub that a friend had at the time, with its four speed gearbox, electric start, indicators, overhead cam engine and so on. Also quite similar perfromance although it wasn t built as a sporting bike, that was what the 125 version was for. The 150 did not have a centre main bearing and was a 360 crank like the British bikes, although with a more sensible horizontal split case.
