This website serves as a forum for discussing lipid therapy and related topics and contains useful links to relevant literature. Additional cases, along with descriptions of the use of lipid in treating many other types of drug toxicity, are posted at the educational website *. More cases of lipid resuscitation from local anesthetic toxicity can be found in recent reviews of the topic 4, 10. Braun, Melsungen, Germany) a mixture of long and medium chain fatty acid triglycerides. Though Intralipid (Fresenius Kabi, Uppsala, Sweden) has been the predominant lipid emulsion brand used in instances of lipid resuscitation reported in the medical literature, successful treatment of severe toxicity has also been reported with other formulations including Liposyn III (Hospira, Lake Forest, IL) and Medialipid (B. Successful treatment of severe cardiac toxicity has been reported in children, including two neonates, including a two day old 9 the oldest patient reported in a successful lipid resuscitation was a 92 year old woman in asystole following an infraclavicular block with ropivavcaine. This similarly contributes to the debate regarding the mechanisms underlying lipid resuscitation, since the metabolic hypothesis would not hold in the case of neurotoxicity because the central nervous system does not normally depend on lipid substrates (see the section on ‘Mechanisms’). Lipid infusion can also reverse neurological signs and symptoms of LAST, including seizures and altered mental status, suggesting that the benefit is not limited to the cardiovascular system 7, 8. These reports contribute directly to the controversy surrounding optimal timing of the lipid emulsion infusion that is addressed below. Several other recent cases seem to support this notion. This observation suggests that early lipid infusion might provide an advantage, presumably by interrupting the vicious cycle of low-output, tissue acidosis and worsening toxicity, thereby preventing progression to a low-output state or frank cardiac arrest. McCutchen and Gerancher 6 reported that in a patient with seizures and ventricular tachycardia following a combined femoral catheter (ropivacaine) and sciatic (bupivacaine) block, the use of lipid emulsion early in the sequence of rapidly worsening toxicity appeared to attenuate or prevent progression of local anesthetic cardiac toxicity. An additional feature common to many of the early case reports of lipid therapy for severe LAST was the presence of underlying heart disease, suggesting that coronary ischemia, baseline conduction defects or cardiomyopathy could lower the threshold for LAST, thereby defining one subgroup of vulnerable patients. This case is now recognized as typical of many lipid resuscitation cases and exemplifies key features repeated in virtually every subsequent report of reversal by lipid infusion of LAST- related cardiac arrest: 1) the event was witnessed (meaning, little to no associated asphyxia or delay in treatment) 2) the patient failed to recover with epinephrine, vasopressin and anti-arrhythmic medications and 3) spontaneous circulation was re-established shortly after lipid infusion. He subsequently recovered completely with no neurological deficit or cardiovascular sequelae. The patient failed to respond to standard resuscitative efforts for approximately 20 minutes but achieved normal vital signs shortly after receiving a 100 mL bolus of lipid emulsion. A middle aged man developed cardiac arrest shortly after a peripheral nerve block combining mepivacaine and bupivacaine. Rosenblatt et al 5 reported the first clinical application of lipid emulsion therapy in treating LAST.

He explains in his 5/10 review of the JRPG, 'As a character, Frey feels flat. Other contributors to the game include the lead writers on Forspoken’s story and script: Allison Rymer (Shadowhunters) and Todd Stashwick (Devil Inside). GameSpots Jordan Ramée echoed similar unimpressed feelings for Forspokens leading actress. The team also worked with writer/director Amy Hennig (Uncharted series), who developed the story concept in 2019. It was also announced that Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman) and Monica Barbaro (Top Gun: Maverick) make an appearance as Johedy and Auden, fellow Athians who befriend and assist Frey on her journey.Īs previously reported, Lunimous Prductions worked in collaboration with writer Gary Whitta (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), who conceived the original concept.

The story trailer also reveals more details about the protagonist Frey, a young woman who has persevered despite her rough upbringing in New York City. Coming to PS5 and PC is Square Enix's Forspoken, previously known as Project Athia, and during the PlayStation Showcase, we were given a proper look at in-game footage. The tracks are super varied, and there’s even a means of getting more from an integrated addon store. The characters are all based on mascots of open source software, so the namesake Tux is there, along with Hexley (of BSD), Mozilla, Pidgin, the gimp mascot (who apparently has a name)… I believe there are even different types of karts to unlock. And there are boxes that you can collect for various powerups or ways of slowing down your opponents. It’s cartoonish, so don’t expect to find any realistic physics. But there are some who really like a platform scroller, and while it’s no original Mario this does fit the bill. I don’t know, just something to break up the endless snow.Ĭonclusion: The music can be repetitive and the gameplay frustrating and unvaried. It might be a little more interesting if there were some forest levels, or water levels, or cloud levels. Also there are no supporting characters through the first few levels, and all the levels seem to have the same feel. It makes it feel like you’re not making progress towards saving the damsel in distress. That said I kind of miss some sort of boss characters, and miss variety between levels. There’s enough variety of enemies to keep things interesting, yet not so many that you don’t know how to deal with the thing you’re seeing. They all also follow their own sort of physics, there are enemies which explode after being jumped on, and those that slide around possibly killing other enemies in their path. There is a variety of different types of enemies, some of which can be dealt with by jumping on their heads, some of which are better avoided or fireballed. That said the one time I really got stuck I eventually got past the point after being sent back to my checkpoint a few times and finally to the beginning of the level because when I arrived at the same point starting from the beginning I had the firemans hat (fireballs) which makes everything easier. They have checkpoints to help with that, but it might be just a little too difficult for some, requiring some precise timing of jumps. Gameplay: It can be super frustrating when you get stuck in one place. Here (at least for the first few levels), the levels seem to be pretty formulaic. I mean it was cool when mario 64 came out and we had 3d graphics and pretty worlds to look at. This is another example of a game that isn’t principally judged on its graphics. Graphics: I had a little difficulty setting resolution initially (then again I am intentionally using the development version). Sound effects for different actions like collecting coins or blowing fireballs are totally fine. The samples seem to loop pretty quickly, which grates after a little bit. Music & Sound: It’s an interesting disco soundtrack in places. In a slight twist we’re in Antartica (because we’re a penguin). You know the story, the girl gets kidnapped in the intro screen, then it’s your job to adventure and save the day. For some reason the side scroller on there was a penguin. For me personally it brought back some memories of playing games on a ti computer. Intro: Supertux is a platform sidescoller in the genre of Super Mario. How many miles do you log on your Prius each week? I am wondering whether part of the problem is lack of use so that the 12V battery never has a chance to be fully-charged.Ģ. Make sure that the battery polarity is correct (red is positive, positive to positive) and that all connections are solid, then the Prius should easily start.ġ. I'm probably going to have to have it towed to the dealer.Ĭlick to expand.What procedure are you using to jump-start the Prius? Are you connecting the jumper cables at the 12V battery at the rear of the car or are you connecting to the positive jump terminal in the main relay/fuse box? If the latter hook the negative cable to one of the nuts holding the top of the driver's side strut. I tried to jump it from my wife's car, but couldn't get it started. It was the original equipment, and due to be replaced anyway, which they did for $200.Ī few weeks later, another dead battery after not running the car for a couple of days, another jump, another trip to the dealer.After thinking it over for a day or two, they said that the carbon build-up caused a slow-idling engine which kept the alternator from properly charging the auxiliary battery, allowing it to run down. I've got a 2004 Prius with about 90,000 miles.the auxiliary battery did seem to have failed. Is this a known issue with the Gen II Prius? Thanks for any ideas! But I know very little about these cars (and not much about cars in general), so if anyone has any specific suggestions to put to the dealer, I'd love to hear it. I suspect there is some electrical-system snafu that is draining the aux battery, since it always and only happens after the car hasn't been started for a couple of days. I'm probably going to have to have it towed to the dealer. Hmmm again, but I don't know enough to say they were wrong. After thinking it over for a day or two, they said that the carbon build-up caused a slow-idling engine which kept the alternator from properly charging the auxiliary battery, allowing it to run down. But I'd just given the car a 90K servicing at another shop, which hadn't found any carbon build-up and if that's the reason, why did it start with a jump? Hmmm. They cleaned out the carbon for another $200. They told me a complex story that probably makes sense: there was carbon build-up on the throttle body and other areas, which caused the computer to think not enough gas was reaching the car to run it, so the car refused to start and the computer showed a low fuel code. A few weeks later, another dead battery after not running the car for a couple of days, another jump, another trip to the dealer.It was the original equipment, and due to be replaced anyway, which they did for $200. This time they said the auxiliary battery did seem to have failed. A few days later it died again, so I got it jumped and drove it in again.They couldn't find anything wrong with the auxiliary battery. The first time, I called my auto club and got it jumped, and drove it to a major, reliable Toyota dealer.Since the middle of May, the auxiliary battery has died 4 times after the car was not run for 2 days or so. I've got a 2004 Prius with about 90,000 miles on it, which I bought used about a year ago (so I don't know its whole maintenance history). Using blue LEDs instead of white LEDs to light up the LCD display to produce the perfect colour accuracy means battery can be conserved by 20%. According to Amazon its presence is down to the way it creates that ‘100% sRGB colour accuracy’ on the HDX. There is a blueish tint around the edges of the screen, particularly noticeable when looking at completely white backgrounds. It might not have a more eye-friendly e-Ink display like a Kindle eReader, but it’s one of the best 7-inch screens for reading. Colours are well represented and adding plenty of punch for gaming as well. It doesn’t disappoint in the sharpness department either with text and visuals razor-sharp and well defined. For watching video, reading books, and web browsing, it’s up there with the Nexus 7 2 in terms of luminosity. Amazon claims a maximum brightness of over 400 nits and it really shows. The first thing you’ll notice is the exceptional brightness. It works surprisingly well with text and images nicely visible without much of an irritating glare. The chief benefit is to make the screen better for reading Kindle eBooks sitting on the beach soaking up the rays. It manages to squeeze in 323ppi pixel density equalling the new Nexus 7’s display and even uses the same IPS display technology to offer similarly good viewing angles.Īmazon has also introduced new dynamic interest contrast screen technology that can adjust the tone and colour of the pixels depending on the ambient lighting. The HDX features a 1,920 x 1,200 resolution screen up from the 1,280 x 800 quality display on the Kindle Fire HD 7. Read also: Kindle Fire HDX 8.9 Amazon Kindle Fire HDX – Screen The only other design aspect to note is that the glossy plastic panel feels like it could have been put on more carefully as it doesn’t quite sit flush with the sides of the tablet. It’s still not a pocket-friendly tablet, but it won’t weigh down your bag and that’s a major plus over the last edition. It’s still slightly heavier than the Nexus 7 2 (290g) and at 9mm thick is marginally more portly than the Asus tablet, but is a little shorter. In terms of actual dimensions, the Wi-Fi model weighs 303g shaving off almost100g from the Kindle Fire HD (395g) and that’s definitely a good thing. If you are looking for the microHDMI port you’re out of luck, it’s gone so you are going to have to rely on the Miracast support for screen mirroring to a TV. Locating the buttons can initially be fiddly but it doesn’t take long to readjust. The volume rocker and on/off button have moved to the back in easy reach, the two stereo speakers are higher up to avoid muffling the sound with your hands and the microUSB charging port and 3.5mm headphone jack are positioned on the edges of the device to avoid wires flailing across the screen. Key design changes are geared towards using it in landscape mode. The HDX is noticeably wider than the Nexus 7 making it much more of a stretch to hold in one hand. If you are planning to use it in portrait mode it’s a less enjoyable experience. There’s the matted, soft touch plastic, but the long black strip on the back is gone and the curvy corners have now been replaced with much more angular ones.įingers now follow the sloped narrow design when holding the HDX in landscape mode, making it more comfortable to grip in two hands. It does still have the glossy black bezel surrounding the 7-inch display with front-facing camera up top, but when you flip it over the differences are quickly apparent. The HDX looks very different to the Kindle Fire HD and the changes, on the whole, are welcome ones. This process is called muti-frame super-resolution and works by taking bursts of images at different positions that are exactly one pixel off from each other.The camera app then uses these images to enhance the picture with extra information to fill in a few blanks.The Pixel 3 takes advantage of your natural hand tremor and captures a series of burst photos of a scene that are taken from subtly different positions.In the Pixel 3, the feature captures a series of images at slightly different positions and then uses AI to combine them to create a picture with more detail than any digital zoom has ever been able to achieve.The idea of Super Res Zoom, first spotted on Google’s flagship devices earlier this year, has its roots in astronomy and other fields where it’s been known for more than a decade that capturing and combining bursts of images at different positions can yield resolution equivalent to optical zoom. Pixel 3 metro last light image – The idea of Super Res Zoom Unfortunately, current mid-to-low-end GPUs aren’t yet up to the task of delivering the best possible performance. Taking advantage of the 4A Engine, it employs tessellation, cutting-edge lighting effects, and advanced PhysX to realize its barren Pripyat-inspired world.įor this reason, it is imperative to use a high-end GPU for the best results. As a follow-up to the cult Metro 2033, Pixel 3 metro last light image is the most technically dazzling game yet. She earned her Juris Doctor from New York Law School. Aber was also a freelance host for AOL, MSN and the syndicated educational television show, Brain Fuel TV.Īber began her television career as a regular contributor on money and career issues for “The Better Show,” a syndicated daytime television show produced by the Meredith Corporation, publisher of “Better Homes and Gardens,” “Ladies Home Journal” and “Parents.”Īber graduated from the University of Virginia with a bachelor’s degree in foreign affairs and a minor in German. Prior to joining CNN Newsource in 2012, Aber was host and producer for “Wall Street Week” and entertainment host, correspondent and producer for The Broadway Channel covering the Tony Awards and all major red carpet events on Broadway.

What will Robin Meade do Now Robin Meade is a former news correspondent of American nationality. As a result, Morning Express with Robin Meade will no longer appear on the HLN screen. Aber was responsible for running the seven-story tower and broadcast studio. What Happened To Her By Anita Gopali DecemThe whole HLN operation team has been terminated as a part of CNN president Chris Licht’s restructuring. Her work led to an appointment as chief of staff for the vice chairman of NASDAQ in 2001 and later promotion to vice president of the NASDAQ MarketSite, home of the NASDAQ Opening Bell. Aber joined NASDAQ in 2000 as associate director, global sales & member services. (now known as FINRA) with a focus on securities regulation. She began her career with the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. She has also reported breaking news for CNN and covered stories including the China Market Crash in 2015, the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting and Facebook IPO in 2012.

CNN chief Chris Licht Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Forty years after it was founded by Ted Turner, HLN is getting out of the live TV business. Wong.Maribel Aber is a business correspondent for CNN Newsource, CNN’s network of more than 1,000 affiliates. It has since aired a mix of live news and crime programs hosted by the likes of Hill Harper and B.D. The network lost its most prominent, most divisive personality Nancy Grace in 2016 when she chose to leave her Atlanta-based show. Clark Howard was part of the network for five years as it tried a mix of "news and views." It briefly attempted to attract millenials in 2014 with shows such as a docuseries following a YouTube star and a game show focused on social media. Otherwise, management has tried different ways to boost HLN ratings in other time slots. (She arrived when it was still called CNN Headline News.) She has refused to leave Atlanta despite pleas by CNN boss Jeff Zucker to come to New York. Meade is an impressive survivor, courtesy of consistently solid ratings over her 17 years at HLN. The network will add more crime-oriented programming during its other hours, continuing to compete with ID and Oxygen, among other networks. (Coincidentally or not, all its anchors are female.) It attempted to capture Middle America housewives by focusing outside the Beltway but clearly not enough of them came aboard. HLN over the past couple of years has tried to counter program while its sister station CNN, MSNBC and Fox News focused almost exclusively on politics. No element has an atomic weight less than one. One atomic mass unit isĭefined as 1/12 the mass of an atom of carbon-12. The atomic number of carbon is 6 and the atomic mass is 12.01gmol-1. The number in parentheses is the mass number of the most stable or best-known isotope of that element.Ītomic weights are measured in atomic mass units. The Periodic Table gives us the weighted average for the mass of an element, referred to as the elements atomic weight (or relative atomic mass). Carbon is an element represented by C, it belongs to the 14th period in the periodic table. These elements are unstable that is, their nuclei decompose radioactively.

Antoine Lavoisier recognized carbon as an element in 1789.The atomic weight (or atomic mass) of an element is the average relative mass of the naturally occurring atoms of that element.The most common color of pure carbon, however, is black. Carbon comes in the form of transparent diamonds and gray graphite.Likewise, it is considered one of the most important elements of life on Earth. I am going to use the word 'mass' to describe their weight even though these are different things. Specific heat, or specific heat capacity, is a property related to internal energy that is very important in thermodynamics.

Atomic Weight: 12.011 Classification: Nonmetal Phase at Room Temperature. Plus properties and characteristics of carbon. Their weight, number of atoms and density depend on a lot of things. Kids learn about the element carbon and its chemistry including atomic weight, atom, uses, sources, name, and discovery. The four elements are oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen. Because they are elements, they are both on the periodic table carbon is number 6 on the periodic table and oxygen is number 8 on the periodic table. Carbon forms more compounds than any other element and forms the basis for animal life and plants. Of the elements found in the human body, four of them make up the largest percentage of our body weight (96.2).Thus, carbon can link to itself, forming long, resilient chains of polymers (a molecule composed of repeated subunits). Moreover, it has 2 stable isotopes, which are atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons. Options for hiding the symbol or name of the elements provide a handy learning aid for memorizing the periodic table. Carbon’s atomic weight is 12.0107 while its density is 2.2670 grams per cubic centimeter. Use this periodic table for calculating molar mass for any chemical formula.Carbon’s boiling point is 3,825☌ (6,917☏). The biennial review of atomic-weight determinations and other cognate data has resulted in changes for the standard atomic weights of 19 elements.Thus, the human bodies are 18.5% carbon, by weight. Carbon is an important part of the human body.Carbon comes from the Latin word ‘Carbo’ which means ‘Coal’. The chart of the various incarnations of the band is useful – the list of the lengths of service of every member is surprising and illuminating – but after a while, you begin to sense that Witts is up to something other than clarifying his points. Sometimes, for example, he treats the band as if they were a foreign object to be studied by a numerically minded scientist: he starts counting, and creates charts, lists and outlines of reasons to favour particular aspects of their work. This is the true double task of the pop critic-historian, and Witts goes to creative, sometimes comic lengths to accomplish it. Instead, he manages to defamiliarise the band and its career, while communicating all the necessary information. Witts, author of a biography of Nico and interviewer at one time or another (for Radio 3) of all the principals in the band except Lou Reed, could just as easily have produced a fan letter or a recitation of myths. I began with suspicion, but it won me over completely: it is careful, funny, refreshing, usefully revisionist about the Velvets, and a corrective to all sorts of illnesses in the genre. These liabilities are all somehow turned to strengths in Witts’s little marvel of a book. ‘The Velvet Underground,’ Witts says outright, ‘has always been a bit of a mess.’ Nor is it easy to identify the band as a unit, since members came and went. With a decidedly slim catalogue (four studio albums) but an outsized posthumous reputation, they are not an easy act to place in the history of popular music. There are confirmed music fans who can’t bear to listen to the songs considered their most characteristic (‘Heroin’, ‘Sister Ray’). The Velvet Underground were decidedly not these kinds of virtuoso. Yet the first book to appear, by Richard Witts, tackles the Velvet Underground. Each of these musicians is a virtuoso of one or another aspect of pop. In truth, most critics aren’t verbally equipped to describe any band’s vivid effects on its main audience: the listener at home, alone in his room.įurther books are scheduled in the series: on Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Björk. Perhaps worst of all, there is the curse of the rhetoric of social action and ‘revolution’, a faith-based illusion that pop songs clearly manifest social history, or an exaggerated sense of what pop achieves in the world. Then there is the curse of arid musicology and of Rolling Stone-ism, the gonzo rock journalist who thinks he is a rock star. This sort of writing fails the reality of pop: its special alchemy of lyrics that look like junk on the page, and music that seems underdeveloped when transcribed to a musical staff. Then there is the curse of Dylanology, such a blight on pop criticism: worship of lyrics as ‘poetry’, modelled on pop’s least representative major figure. Historical pop figures are remembered as either too good or too bad to need defending it’s guaranteed that anyone willing to read a volume on King Crimson, say, or Crosby, Stills and Nash, is already on board. It won’t forsake the impulse to praise figures who no longer need to be praised. But pop criticism can’t seem to escape the thrall of these biographies, and rarely has much to add. Everyone likes the autobiographies of even the most inarticulate musicians at least they can explain how they make the songs. Ordinarily, I couldn’t think of anything less auspicious. The volumes will be designed for ‘undergraduates and the general reader’. Equinox is publishing a series of books called ‘Icons of Pop Music’. |
