You ona diet7/23/2023 Intermittent fasting is safe for many people, but it's not for everyone. Other people, especially those with busy or variable schedules, have more difficulty maintaining an intermittent fasting routine. Sticking with an intermittent fasting routine can be easier for some people rather than trying to watch calories every day. Most side effects go away within a month. They could include hunger, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, decreased concentration, nausea, constipation and headaches. Intermittent fasting can have unpleasant side effects. As a result, long-term health benefits or risks are unknown. Little long-term research has been done on intermittent fasting to examine how it affects people over time. Some research shows this may improve conditions associated with inflammation like arthritis, asthma and multiple sclerosis. Research suggests that alternate-day fasting is about as effective as a typical low-calorie diet for weight loss.įasting also affects metabolic processes in the body that may work to decrease inflammation, as well as improve blood sugar regulation and physical stress response. This, coupled with fewer calories consumed overall, can lead to weight loss. This causes an increase in substances called ketones. It appears that fasting for a short time can produce ketosis, which is a process that occurs when the body doesn't have enough glucose for energy, so it breaks down stored fat instead. and dinner by 7 p.m.Ĭan intermittent fasting improve your health? Recent research has found that using intermittent fasting for weight loss may have some benefits in the short term. For example, skip breakfast, but eat lunch around 11 a.m. Usually, the small meal is fewer than 500 calories.Įat a normal diet five days a week and fast two days per week.Įat normally but only within an eight-hour window each day. Some fasting is for religious reasons, while others fast for weight loss.īut is intermittent fasting a healthy way to lose weight? The three popular approaches to intermittent fasting are:Įat a normal, healthy diet one day and then completely fast or have one small meal the next day. That's when you voluntarily abstain from food or beverages other than water for a certain amount of time. Is skipping meals a bad idea or a secret weight-loss weapon? One diet trend that shows no sign of going away soon is intermittent fasting.

2017 ford escape se ecoboost7/23/2023 Despite this Escape’s lower-profile tires, maximum cornering grip on our skidpad measured the same 0.85 g as its 1.5-liter sibling, which is still well above average among compact crossovers. That car rode on 18-inch wheels with 235/50 Michelin Latitude Tour HP rubber our tester sported 19-inch aluminum wheels shod with 235/45 Continental ContiProContact tires. Unsurprisingly, we found the 2.0-Liter EcoBoost Escape to display the same competent road manners as the previously tested 1.5-liter EcoBoost Titanium. Shifting for yourself is an option (via steering-wheel-mounted paddles on the SE and Titanium and also by a thumb switch on the shift lever), but if compact-class thrills are your ultimate goal, Ford sells a dandy hatch called the Focus ST that will let you get your groove on wherever and whenever you wish. Only once did we catch it flat-footed and slow to react to an abrupt application of full throttle, where it missed a beat before downshifting. Programmed for smooth performance rather than split-second action, the transmission will likely never give the average buyer a second thought. Gear swaps are performed by a six-speed automatic with manual shifting capability, the sole transmission available across the lineup. With full grunt online at a relatively low 3000 rpm, the power to merge or dart for holes in traffic is never more than a pedal stomp away. In our real-world highway fuel-economy test, run at a steady 75 mph, the Escape 2.0T achieved 26 mpg, a single mpg below its EPA highway rating. For reference, that’s 5 mpg less than the 24 mpg we earned in its 264-pound-lighter doppelgänger with the 1.5-liter EcoBoost engine and front-wheel drive. Did we dip into its meaty, all-hands-on-deck torque more frequently than the average driver? Definitely. The Escape with the bigger EcoBoost is EPA rated at 20/27 mpg city/highway, but we could squeeze only 19 mpg from it over 500 miles, even with the standard stop/start system doing its shutdown routine. Yet Ford’s upcharge for the 2.0-liter’s extra hustle doesn’t stop at the dealer in addition to that, Ford recommends (as it does with the 1.5-liter EcoBoost) that you feed the 2.0-liter engine a steady diet of premium fuel for maximum performance-and you’ll be buying more of it. This statistical shakedown is not to whet the appetite of power-crazed suburbanites, but rather to illustrate what the $1295 price premium for the 2.0-liter EcoBoost brings to the table. HIGHS: Good power, tons of tech and safety features, intuitive controls.

Best nikka whiskey7/23/2023 This means bottles could be sharp and spicy, smoothly mellow, herbal and zesty or anything in between, depending on their blend, grain and cask-ageing method. Unlike most whiskies, the best Japanese whisky has no real distinction in terms of regional styles, nor does it have any unifying character. Instead, the distilleries turned their hand to more harmonious blends and the standout single grains we know them for today. Japan’s whiskies were originally made in the Scotch tradition, but the peaty, smoky flavours didn’t land well with Japanese palates. The distilleries are popular for good reason: they’re home to some of the best Japanese whisky you’ll find around today. That’s why we went straight to the experts in whisky to find out what the best ones are to buy and try right now.Japanese whisky – not whiskey, mind – has exploded in popularity over the past few years, with the two main distilleries, Nikka and Suntory, earning themselves global fans for their delicious drams. We’re all for coveted expressions but we’re also glad to know that not every whisky lover out there has a quarter of a million to drop on liquid gold. These days countless Japanese whiskies have reached collector’s status, fetching well over $300,000 for a single bottle in some extreme cases. “There are some other expressions of whiskies that have elaborate bottles – some are good, but there are elaborate bottles that are also bad.” What Whisky Experts Say He also says to pay attention to bottle designs. Is the environment and atmosphere there to enjoy the whisky as it’s supposed to be?” If you’re going out for whisky, ask if you’re getting the service that the whisky deserves. So the way I would justify it is to look at the whole package. “The better the whisky the more expensive it is because it’s simply harder to find,” he says. We asked Jason Ang of Sydney’s Tokyo Bird to explain the basic economics of whisky. The Miyagikyo 12-Year-Old Single Malt uses steam to heat the stills instead of coal and is finished in Bourbon barrels, giving it a lighter, more floral nose, with dried fruits and a nutty Sherry finish. Taketsuru also found the pure air and high humidity of the Scottish highlands on the eastern coast on the main island of Honshu, where he established his Miyagikyo still. Such is the pursuit of purity in its production, the Yoichi stills are still coal-fired a technique barely practised in even the oldest of the Scottish stills. An austere and rigorous drop, with a flinty peat characteristic that arrives seemingly from nowhere and evolves into a long, salty, spicy finish. Nikka’s Yoichi 15-year-old single malt is an embodiment of this vision. On their return to Japan, the newly married Mr and Mrs Taketsuru established a still on Hokkaido island, in Japan’s far-north, seeking to replicate the conditions and traditions of the finest Scotch. Torii’s apprentice Masataka Taketsuru, who would found the other giant of Japanese distilling Nikka, sought to embody in his whiskies the austerity and traditions of Scotland, a land which gave him both his education (he was the first Japanese person to study whisky scientifically) and his wife. A perfectly balanced whisky built for the Japanese palate (and a favourite cocktail base of bartenders). Suntory’s staple and most well-known whisky, the Hibiki 12-Year-Old, is an exquisitely smooth blend of a number of Suntory’s malts and a grain whisky to meld everything together. Torii, who started Suntory and founded Japan’s first distillery in 1923 in Yamazaki, is best described as the man who sought to give whisky its own identity.

Active listening skills definition7/23/2023 It builds deep trust between you and the speaker. There are many benefits to active listening. Good listeners offer suggestions that are positively received and open up the conversation to alternate points of view. Additionally, sharing feedback equally in both directions yields a more cooperative conversation. It’s important to provide a safe environment where differences can be discussed openly and honestly. Good listeners offer a positive environment in order to build the speaker’s self-esteem. Great conversations are a two-way street so it’s best if it’s active vs. Asking insightful questions positions yourself as more engaged in the conversation. It’s okay to ask clarifying questions to ensure that you understand what’s being said. There are some key skills that characterize people as strong listeners. Summative feedback is given at the end of a conversation and can include verbal and nonverbal behaviors. This can include focused attention, note-taking, and head nodding. Formative feedback is naturally integrated into a conversation with behaviors that indicate that you’re understanding the speaker’s message. There are two types of feedback–formative and summative. The responding stage is often referred to as feedback. Opinions and evaluations can vary by the listener due to perspectives gained from diverse backgrounds and life experiences. EvaluatingĮvaluating is the process of judging the value of a message. You can apply the sender’s message in ways that are meaningful to you in order to improve your memory of messages received. Depending on the complexity of the message, some may be harder to understand and remember than others. Not remembering what the message was is the first sign of ineffective listening. In this stage, it’s important to differentiate our own perceptions and experiences from that of the speaker. Sometimes, the speaker may not enunciate their words or we attach our own meaning to the message. In the understanding stage, the focus is on the meaning of the message which isn’t always linear. It’s important to isolate all outside distractions to ensure that there’s no confusion in hearing the message. In the receiving stage, the focus is what the speaker is saying. There are five stages of active listening: Receiving How well we communicate often determines how successful we are as leaders in our careers. It’s important to foster a safe environment for the speaker to talk but add appropriate commentary when needed.Īt Specialt圜are, we’re consistently communicating with our associates, peers, leaders, and hospital staff. Many people think that they’re good listeners but active listening requires a conscious effort to hear and understand the total message that’s being sent–this includes verbal and nonverbal cues.Īctive listening conveys respect to the speaker and allows you to get more out of each conversation. Active listening is a powerful tool in business communication. A common misconception is that communication is only talking but the second part of that equation is active listening.

Retina tear surgery7/23/2023 Participation in contact sports with a high risk of head injury (especially boxing) Lattice degeneration – areas of retinal thinning along its outer edges.A high degree of nearsightedness - because myopic retinas tend to be very thin.While the majority of tears occur spontaneously due to movement and pulling of the gel inside the eye, some conditions can predispose you to a retinal tear: If you are having symptoms of a retinal tear, it is important to see an eye doctor, preferably a retinal specialist, without delay. The diagnosis of a retinal tear requires examination of the retina through a dilated pupil. If the tear has led to a retinal detachment, there may be a fixed shadow or dark spot in your visual field.If the torn retina is associated with some bleeding, your vision may become hazy.Flashes of light (photopsia) that persist throughout the day.Sudden onset of floaters- these can look like small moving specks or clouds, small dots, or cobwebs.But more typically, they present with visual symptoms such as: Retinal tears are painless and sometimes can be silent (meaning they are asymptomatic) and only discovered during a routine eye exam. In some people, the gel is more “sticky” than in others, and as it pulls away from the retina, it can tug too hard on the underlying retinal tissue, causing the retina to tear. This is a normal process that occurs in every eye. This occurrence is known as a posterior vitreous detachment or PVD. It looks like egg white.Īs you (and your eye) age, the vitreous gel separates entirely from the back of the eye. The vitreous is a clear jelly-like substance that fills the inside of your eye. Most tears in the retina are associated with traction from the vitreous gel tugging upon the retina.

Convoy push to talk cell phones7/23/2023 The app received over 6 million signups in one week as Florida residents responded to hurricane warnings for Hurricane Irma. In August 2017 during relief efforts following Hurricane Harvey in Texas, Zello became a popular method for communications between volunteer rescuers (particularly members of the Cajun Navy) and people stranded by the widespread flooding. In July 2017, in Latvia, Zello was the main application which was used by thousands of volunteers and rescuers for communication purposes while looking for Ivan Berladin who went missing. It "has been one of the most downloaded applications in Ukraine and Venezuela." Zello released workarounds and patches to overcome the blocks to support approximately 600,000 Venezuelans who have downloaded the application to communicate with each other amidst protests. In February 2014, it was blocked by CANTV in Venezuela. As a result Zello was the top most downloaded application in Turkey during the first week of June 2013. Zello made the news in June 2013 when Turkish protesters used it to circumvent government censors. Moore founded and was CEO of TuneIn where Gavrilov and his team created popular TuneIn applications. Bill Moore is the CEO and Gavrilov is CPO. Zello acquired the Loudtalks technology, rebranded, and moved the development team to Austin. Zello is a tech software company in Austin, Texas, U.S., known for the Zello app, which emulates push-to-talk (PTT) walkie-talkies over cell phone networks.Īlexey Gavrilov developed the product originally called Loudtalks which was announced at the TechCrunch 40 Mobile and Communications Conference on September 17, 2007.

Super metroid redesign review7/23/2023 And of course the IPS file for the redesign, which we also link to above. To play, you will need a SNES emulator (like ZSNES, linked to above-versions for PC, Mac, and Linux) an IPS patcher for SNES ROMs (the link above takes you to a page that links to several) and an, ahem, legal copy of the Super Metroid ROM, which, you know, you're on your own obtaining. N.B.: Super Metroid Redesign was created as an IPS patch to the original Super Metroid ROM image. I recommend fast-forwarding through the Something Awful videos, but watching the one where Drewseph comes on to give his designer commentary. The escape sequence takes about 26 minutes. The emulator says 'settings found: default' like it. Super Metroid Redesign (Super Nintendo SNES). Okay, so I grabbed the SNES emulator from the sticky, ran a few games (Live a Live, Clock Tower (both english patches)) and they worked great, but then I tried to load Super Metroid - Redesign (A super metroid rom hack), and it didn't work. No game have I played, indie or mainstream, retro or modern, that has challenged me so, and given me such endorphin rushes. Metroid Nintendo 64, Metroid Prime Remastered, Super Metroid (Players Choice) (CIB) (Super Nintendo). But when you climb the cliff, and literally, when you wall jump off a one-square high cliff and then flip back onto it, you will feel amazing. This is a game whose challenge is simply not possible given the constraints of the original, you must master the nooks and crannies, the bugs that became features, in order to compete. This game is meant to be played with any-time saving, it's meant to be played by people who can speed run the original. I think thats about all you need to know. Enemies do more damage, of course, but the genius of this redesign is the new balance that results, and what you get is a tight economy where those pipe spawn points, you know, with the easy insect kills that pour energy and missiles like a fountain, are as much relief as you can hope for.Īt one point, you must sprint through a lethally hot Norfair in order to find the Ice Beam, which you need to get the Varia suit. Missiles now give you +2 capacity, rather than the +5 you expected from the original, and Super Missiles are only +1. Gravity has been adjusted, the I/O period cycle for wall-jumping has been slacked a bit. Then there's all the super-advanced moves, things not even composited from programmed moves of the original, but glitches, glitches, that you must use in order to get an energy tank, or another super missile.īut Drewseph, the creator, who now works for some AAA studio, didn't stop at a topographic redesign. This is a Bizarro world my friends, a place where items are strange and newly hidden, where pacing is made, not given, where wall jumps are expected for mere navigation. You're in a crazy, spawling nightmare landscape, a mad alteration of the Super Metroid ROM. Then you touch down on Zebes, and you're not even in Oz. When you see the timer come on at thirty seconds, instead of the square minute the original gave to escape the doomed space colony, you know you aren't in fucking Kansas anymore. |
