3/17/2023 0 Comments Icare tonometer probes2 Handheld tonometers are of great benefit in the field, but normally require local anaesthetic drops to obtain a measurement. 1 Service providers of eye care in developing countries often reach out to the community and provide mass screening programmes combined either with treatment options at that place or the possibility to refer patients to the next eye hospital. The early diagnosis of glaucoma remains a major challenge all over the world but in particular in developing countries, where people generally present too late to save much meaningful vision. Re-usage of the probes appears safe and is helpful in avoiding unnecessary costs. Transmission of possibly infective material through reused probes is significantly less than for reusable Goldmann probes if the same sterilization protocols are applied. Cell debris was detected on seven probes three probes were completely free of any residual cell elements. No microorganisms, clumps of cells, or single intact epithelium cells were detected in any of the probes using environmental scanning electron microscopy. No bacterial or fungal growth could be detected in any of the inoculated agar plates or broth tubes. In addition, 10 probes were analyzed using environmental scanning electron microscopy in saturated hydrogen-steam atmosphere after usage and wipe disinfection technique with Sekusept 4% solution or Isopropanol 70%. The used probes were inoculated on broth and culture media. IOP measurements were obtained from 100 healthy eyes. Our study aimed to address the question of microbial transmission risks if the probes are reused. Disposable probes, that are potentially reusable, are recommended by the manufacturer. Recently, a new rebound tonometer has been introduced into the market, which might be useful for glaucoma screenings in developing countries.

3/16/2023 0 Comments Pianoteq 5 portableKeyboard base providing extra stability when playing big chords, and yet it is portable (although it is a bit heavy) and looks like a piano without the stand or base. The VPC1's chassis is engineered from industrial aluminum & steel with a reinforced The M50x’s are just that, and the various pairs of M50x’s still to be found in our studio are testament to that fact.The VPC1 has Kawai's professional wooden graded hammer piano key action with simulated ivory grand piano keys allowing for a great keytop feel featuring a grand piano let-off/escapement function, 3-sensor key electronics for authentic sound dynamics and sensitivity, high speed core compliant USB/MIDI connectivity, all housed in an attractive satin black piano style top. We use them for a range of purposes, including on-the-road music production duties as well as film-watching (for which they’re also immersive and comfortable) They’re expertly balanced and have a clarity that other headphones can only aspire to.Ĭonclusion: As we’ve previously explained, the decade has witnessed the growth of the mobile music maker, which naturally demands that headphones step up to the plate to serve as balanced, comfortable and durable monitors. While AT’s more expensive M70x’s later provided a more consistently flat monitoring experience, the M50x’s remain a supreme budget alternative. Were we right? Well… we’re still using them! The ATH-M50x ‘phones have proven their durability and longevity since 2014. These are among the best headphones you can get for your studio.” What we said: “They take what some see as an industry standard up a notch. The space-saving architecture (version 5 came in at just 40MB) appealed to the hard drive conscious consumer, too. This software effectively put pay to our seemingly endless quest to find real sounding piano in software.Ĭonclusion: Still one of the strongest software instruments of the decade, Modartt’s ever-developing Pianoteq has found many contemporaries from the likes of Toontrack and Synthogy, but Pianoteq stood pretty much alone at the time with both its deep scalability and real-time control. The flexibility, depth of sound and the tweaking controls were unlike anything else we’d encountered, while the actual piano sounds themselves were superbly recorded. Were we right? Now in version 6, it was this version of Pianoteq that firmly cemented itself as our go-to piano plug-in of choice. What we said: “Still the best way to get authentic, believable acoustic piano and similar sounds on your computer while using hardly any space. An essential purchase if you have Komplete, and after seeing them in tandem, you might just consider both as the ultimate music production package.” What we said: “The Komplete Kontrol system brings Kontakt and Reaktor software to life, like having them all in hardware. Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol S-Series One of the more memorable products we reviewed this decade. Shevannai is a fine example and one of our absolute favourites. As the decade continued we began to see even more very specifically tailored sample collections, which have expanded the arsenals of sound designers and composers tenfold.Ĭonclusion: Throughout the 2010s, the sample library and virtual instrument world has exploded, with sounds that would otherwise take a lot of painstaking work to create being readily available. Were we right? Eduardo Tarilonte’s unique sample collections went on to further delight and bewitch us throughout the decade, but Shevannai is where the love affair truly started. 3/16/2023 0 Comments Kibbles and bits dog foodThey are no more deceptive than anything else that manufacturers or advertising agencies do, but you should educate yourself and be aware of what the foods actually contain. Eye them with care.Īll of these practices are perfectly legal and monitored by the FDA and by AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Operatives) who oversee pet food labeling. So, dog food descriptions can be murky waters. There only has to be enough of that ingredient to be detectable. If the food says that is has “real beef flavor” the beef flavor can come from any source, including animal digest, but the source must be clearly indicated in the ingredients. “With” anything indicates that there only has to be 3 percent of that ingredient in the food. If the food is labeled “Dog Food with Beef,” the food only needs to have 3 percent beef. Be sure to read the ingredients!īut there is another labeling rule you should be aware of that can tip you off about what is or isn’t in a food. If your dog is allergic to chicken that would be a problem. For example, you could buy Beef Dinner for Dogs expecting to feed your dog beef, and get 25 percent beef and 20 percent chicken. What’s more, the manufacturer can include something in the food that you don’t expect. The term “dinner” is often used but you can also see terms like “formula,” “platter,” “nuggets” or other words that would indicate the food is not just meat. With the water removed, the meat content could be as low as 10 percent of the food. That means the food is at least 25 percent beef but less than 95 percent (without the water removed). However! And this is a big however… if the food says that it is “Beef Dinner for Dogs,” that means something completely different. If it says the food is chicken and liver, then it must be 95 percent chicken and liver before the water is counted. Per the FDA, “beef for dogs” means the food should be at least 95 percent beef (70 percent after the water has cooked away). When a food says that it is beef “flavor” dog food (or cat food), that should send up a red flag for you. Kibbles ‘n Bits Meatballs & Pasta Dinner with Real Beef in Tomato Sauce*īefore I start the actual review there are a couple of things you should know about product labeling which will help you not just with Kibbles ‘n Bits but with any pet food.Kibbles ‘n Bits Burger Dinner With Real Bacon & Cheese Bits in Gravy.Kibbles ‘n Bits Hearty Cuts with Real Beef, Chicken & Vegetables in Gravy.Mini Bits Savory Chicken & Beef Flavor dog food.Vegetable & Baked Apple Flavors dog food. Savory Beef & Chicken Flavor dog food (see full review below). You can buy both dry and canned Kibbles ‘n Bits. Like most dog foods, the product comes in different flavor varieties and forms. As a name brand product it costs more than generic or store brand foods of similar quality but it costs less than many other foods in the grocery store. Kibbles n’ Bits is easily found in most grocery stores. They produce 497 million pounds of Kibbles ‘n Bits Dog Food per year.ĭog Owners STRONGLY Disagree With Our Rating Of Kibbles ‘n Bits Dog Food. Their plant in Lawrence, Kansas produces about 1.7 millions pounds per day, and 9.9 million pounds per week. Heinz Company bought the brand in 1995 and it was later sold to Del Monte. According to Wikipedia, the brand was created in 1981 and at that time was the first “dual-textured” dog food, with both hard, crunchy kibble and softer, chewy bits. Kibbles ‘n Bits Dog Food is made by Del Monte, the fifth largest manufacturing concern in the dog food market. The sheer amount of skills, sub skills, passive skills, and sub passive skills just blows my mind. So many, in fact, that it’s quite daunting. You can learn a ridiculous variety of skills with each class in Van Helsing: Final Cut. And because of this, when enemies do become more challenging it’s a total nightmare trying to kill them all. I think Diablo nailed the balance between the number of enemies and their difficulty. Van Helsing is one of those games that decides that instead of throwing a handful of tougher enemies at you, it has to throw a billion weak enemies at you. Katarina also acts as a constant companion who will help you fight off enemies and give you stat boosts. You click around to move, attack, perform actions, and you can bind the number keys to skills. The gameplay is the standard hack and slash RPG fare. They all have unique powers and they all look awesome. There are six playable classes in Van Helsing: Final Cut, all of which are very creative spins on typical RPG classes. It had everything I wanted: Dark forests, ghosts, and creative monsters. The first chapter of Van Helsing: Final Cut was easily my favorite. Hordes of werewolves. How cool does that sound?! It sounds pretty cool, and it is pretty cool. You’re started off in a forest region where you must fight bandits, weird ghoul things, and hordes of werewolves. This leads them on a journey to find a way into Borgova and stop the mad genius. Before they can make it to the capital city of Borgova (Creative name, right?), Van Helsing and Katarina are ambushed by bandits and their way to the city is cut off. Van Helsing and Katarina are on their way to the (fictional) region of Borgovia, which is in dire need of help after an evil professor named Fulmigati has taken over and oppressed the good citizens. (The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing: Final Cut, Neocore Games) The idea of playing as a famous vampire/monster hunter is something I’ve always wanted in a video game - Except you don’t play as Abraham Van Helsing. In fact, the entire concept of Van Helsing isn’t a bad idea, either. It isn’t its own original game, rather it is the trilogy bundled together into one continuous story running on the Van Helsing III engine (At least I think? The Steam description is a little vague). Van Helsing: Final Cut is sort of the crowning jewel in the Van Helsing trilogy. The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing: Final Cut (Which I will now refer to as Van Helsing: Final Cut for both your sake and mine) is an isometric hack and slash RPG - much like Diablo, which it is so often compared to - created by Neocore Games. What disappointed me was the lackluster direction this otherwise great game took. In fact, it’s through and through a decent RPG with a cool set up and fun gameplay. Not because it’s a bad game - not even close. Disappointment is the only word that comes to mind when I think of The Incredible Adventures Of Van Helsing: Final Cut. 3/16/2023 0 Comments Opposite sides of the river bible14 And you shall divide equally what ( W)I swore ( X)to give to your fathers.

In recent years, a number of medical schools have reformed their curricula to have students take the USMLE Step 1 after core clinical clerkships or preliminary clinical training. While the USMLE Step 1 has traditionally been taken after students complete foundational sciences and before core clinical clerkships. In May 2015, the USMLE began emphasizing concepts regarding patient safety and quality improvement across all parts of the USMLE exam series, including Step 1. The exam became computer-based several years later. Upon the launch of the three-part United States Medical Licensing Examination, NBME Part I exam was carried forward in its new format, the USMLE Step 1 examination, which has since evolved to become an increasingly clinically-applied examination of the foundational sciences. Prior to 1992, the NBME Part I examination served as the staple basic science examination for medical students at the end of their second year. 7.5 Exam Pricing and NBME Executive Salaries.7.4 Katsufrakis & Chaudhry comments on Step 1 changes.

So maybe you can hit the enemy capital with your bombers, but you don't have airbases close enough to give them fighter cover.īut if used correctly, strategic bombing will absolutely level the enemy. Strat bombers have incredible range, but fighters not so much. The problem this creates is not only that you need to use fighters with the strat bombers, but that it can act as a soft limit on your range. Well they actually won't get slaughtered numerically, but you'll be losing a lot more production value than they will. If you have strat bombers attacking alone, they'll get slaughtered. Not only that, strat bombers also need fighter cover. I've heard different things, but the lowest number I've heard for effective use is 500 over one air zone. To effectively use strat bombers, you need a lot of them. To compare it to other aircraft, one 1936 strategic bombers costs as much as 2.5 1936 fighters.
