Anaconda pet9/28/2023 ![]() Finally, the Bolivian species hails from Bolivia. Researchers believe that the darkly-spotted species lives primarily in French Guiana and northern Brazil. The yellow species ranges through parts of Brazil, Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay. It lives throughout most of South America to the east of the Andes Mountains. Of the four, the green species has the widest range. Overall, you can find these snakes throughout the Amazon River Basin and the surrounding areas in South America. Distribution of the AnacondaĮach species has its own unique range, but researchers aren’t quite sure of the exact range for some of the more reclusive species. When they do, they range through tropical rainforest, savanna, and grassland habitats. ![]() Occasionally, they leave the water to hunt or sunbathe. With muddy-colored scales, they have perfect camouflage for turbid, or murky waters. They are aquatic creatures, and their favorite ecosystems are rivers, streams, swamps, and flooded regions. More recently, they have separated this snake into its own species using genetic research.Īll four species occupy similar habitats. Bolivian Anaconda – Scientists originally mistook this species as a hybrid of the green and yellow species.Habitat destruction threatens this species, but scientists aren’t quite sure how severe their decline is. These reptiles are quite rare and elusive. Dark-Spotted Anaconda – Researchers aren’t even sure how many animals are left in this population of snakes.True to their name, their scales are yellow in color, with dark brown markings. Yellow Anaconda – The yellow species comes in at a modest 12 ft.long, and weighed 215 lbs., but people have reported sightings of even larger snakes. The longest recorded individual was 17 ft.

![]() ![]() Here is what the actual splitters look like. I'm having trouble attaching the physical says the files are too big, I'll try uploading them again later today. I'm confident that I have the Moca setup correctly to the modem, like every other that I have seen, minus the fact that mine runs to the 2 way splitter instead of directly into the coax wall outlet.Īgain, thanks for all of your help in trying to figure out this issue! Once again, I have not checked it myself so we're going off their word. Which is what they told me today on the phone. When the Moca is attached we get power on, LAN on (when connected to the router) but no "link light" is illuminated because of what we are pretty sure is due to the Modem delivering D3.1 frequencies being above 1002 mhz. The modem is then connected to the router. So as you can see the 2 way splitter is capped at one end because all it's running is the initial coax from the wall to the modem. So the Family Room is setup like this.the single coax that's red in the schematics goes through a coax outlet then up to a 2 way splitter (this was installed by Spectrum a few months ago because our internet kept dropping randomly and the installer said after installing this 2 way switch it would improve the wifi frequencies). The one labeled 2C goes POE Filter then outside past the front porch and into the Family Room, to the coax outlet, to the two way splitter then to the modem. Line 3 is the only one I need which is labeled in blue on the schematics, it leads to the basement. In the pictures, the two yellow coax in lines 1, 2 and 4 are not used. The coax labels on the junction that are labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4 are what go to specific rooms in the house. Here is a detailed explanation of what you're looking at. The second diagram is read from bottom to top where the 6 way splitter goes from the garage then outside to the front porch, back into the family room. The top left is labeled "With Moca Attached" which shows the wiring that I have done when it is fully connected to the modem, splitter and router. In the drawing there are 2 different wiring diagrams. I have attached actual pics of the wiring as well as a terrible drawing that looks like my 6 year old made. ![]() I have no idea how to check the frequencies of the modem, I'm only able to log into the router. Hellblade panic button games9/28/2023 ![]() ![]() In the original, the combat was relatively simple, so this is an encouraging sign that we're getting an expanded and elaborate combat system. Senua herself, actor Melina Juergens has given us even more detail, in a video of behind-the-scenes footage showing the grueling and intense combat training she's been undergoing. And then, later in September 2021, the studio shared a tweet detailing its photogrammetry efforts – showing those costumes being set aflame! Attention to detail like this, scanning in burnt and damaged costumes indicate that this is all going to look very authentic. In the developer update shared in June 2021, Ninja Theory mentioned that it was "building real costumes and scanning them in''. From providing updates throughout its production to giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at its development – it's why we understand if it takes Ninja Theory a little bit of time to deliver this one. Ninja theory has been transparent about the Hellblade 2 development cycle, which it is working on alongside the experimental Project Mara. ![]() At the climax we see Senua accepting her condition, embracing who she is we don't know where she is off to for Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2, but we're eager to journey with her once again. Through the course of the game we are shown flashes of back story, the relationships with Senua's parents, her psychological struggles, as well as her village being destroyed by Norse raiders. In the original we follow a solitary Senua, armed with the skull of her lover Dillon, desperate to reclaim his soul from Helheim and the goddess Hela. ![]() That all said, story will no doubt be key to Hellblade 2.īecause for all the praise on Senua's Sacrifice: Hellblade, a huge portion of that was for the narrative, and the powerful message that Senua's struggle and journey delivered. So far, the studio has focused on the technology behind Senua's Saga and the breathtaking locations it has been able to create – think back to that 2019 reveal, and it was all huge landscapes, swamps filled with skulls and bones, volcanic eruptions, sacrifices, and mass hysteria. Ninja Theory is yet to reveal all that much about the Hellblade 2 story. He noted that development of the first game was completed by fewer than 20 people, and that Ninja Theory has drastically scaled up its production efforts for the sequel – as a result, we should expect the Hellblade 2 combat to have more depth, and for enemies to be more varied. In an interview with Vandal, combat designer Juan Fernández explained that Ninja Theory was 'raising the bar" with respect to Hellblade 2 combat. While Ninja Theory was once known for creating fast-paced action games – like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and DmC: Devil May Cry – Senua's Sacrifice was more subdued, with a greater focus on considered storytelling and inner-turmoil. From what we have seen of it so far, the Hellblade 2 gameplay is set to offer more of the same. Senua's Sacrifice: Hellblade was a third-person action-adventure game – it was tightly designed, with Ninja Theory focusing on just a handful of mechanics that were executed well.

Flic net9/28/2023 While Colburn relies heavily on secondary sources, he makes good use of various archives and collections as well as the U.S. In this regard, Colburn sums up the political history of Florida, allowing readers to understand how complex the state's politics are and likely will remain in the future. He does this, while at the same time noting that no one can make accurate predictions since Florida's demographics and politics are ever-changing. One of the more interesting segments of his work is the speculations he provides on what path Florida will take in the future. He also succeeds in highlighting the change in ideology of not only the parties but the voters as well. His analysis and in-depth breakdown of the various gubernatorial contests from the 1940s through the present shed light on how Floridians not only chose their governors, but, more important, how power shifted from the Democrats to the Republican Party. At times, Colburn is also repetitive, especially in the introduction and first chapter where he is extremely focused on explaining his argument to the reader.Ĭolburn is at his best when describing the impact that retirees, Cuban and Latin American immigrants and exiles, and liberals from the Northeast and fiscal conservatives from the Midwest had on the state during the twentieth century. He also does not even mention the 1885 constitution until the end of the first chapter, which is odd considering this document cemented the power of the northern Florida Democrats (p. While Colburn does a good job explaining the malapportioned legislative districts that were created and protected by the state's 1885 constitution, he again overlooks the importance that race and, more specifically, racism played in what was a century-long struggle by conservative Democrats to maintain their stranglehold over the state's political system. The work of the Johns Committee and other tactics employed by the Pork Chop Gang in the 1950s and 1960s mirror those used by the Bourbon Democrats during and immediately after Reconstruction when conservative northern Florida Democrats sought to redeem the state from Republican rule this connection is vital to understanding Florida's political history. Although these omissions could likely be explained by the fact that Colburn's work covers over sixty years of Florida politics, this issue should be explored deeper since one cannot downplay its significance. Their efforts were a last gasp attempt to stave off change. FLIC was a reaction to the growing changes in Florida's demographics, as well as to the profound shifts in Florida's population in the twentieth century. In fact, one of the shortcomings of an otherwise excellent study is the lack of attention given to the Johns Committee, officially known as the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee (FLIC). Throughout the book, Colburn overlooks or downplays the efforts of rural northern and central Florida politicians, many of whom made up the ranks of the Pork Chop Gang, to use ignominious tactics, such as racism, to maintain power. ![]() Race and the idea of white supremacy and hegemony had been used in Florida as early as the antebellum period as means for the slave owning aristocracy to protect their business ventures and political interests, and would be continued to be employed by the ideological descendents of these groups well into the latter half of the past century. Floridians did not discover race or racism as a political tool in 1940, nor did they abandon it. While this is partially an accurate statement, it is somewhat misleading. In his introduction, Colburn notes that for forty years, beginning in 1940, Florida gradually abandoned its southern "past," which he refers to as "racist" traditions (p. His latest work, From Yellow Dog Democrats to Red State Republicans, is an attempt to explore the complexities that make up Florida's political history and explain why and how the Democratic Party lost power in the late twentieth century, a power that it had maintained since the end of Reconstruction in 1877. Colburn, noted scholar of Florida politics and history, has produced another insightful look into Florida politics. The fact that Florida is today and always has been a unique entity that never completely fit in with its neighboring Deep South states has led numerous historians and political scientists to study the state. Throughout its history, Floridians have strived to create an identity for the state based on other states and even foreign nations.

Fluid retention and heart failure9/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Differences in the scopes, methods of analysis, and methodological quality of SRs/MAs can cause great confusion and make it difficult for policy makers and clinicians to access and interpret the available evidence and for researchers to know where knowledge gaps in the extant literature exist. Accordingly, tolvaptan may be appropriate for HF patients with electrolyte disturbance and poor response to conventional diuretics.Ĭurrently, growing interest in the effects of tolvaptan on patients with water retention caused by HF has led to a continuous increase in the number of related SRs/MAs on this topic. Several clinical trials have provided mechanistic support for the symptomatic improvements and normalized serum sodium noted with tolvaptan in patients with decompensated HF. Tolvaptan is a selective antagonist of the vasopressin V2 receptor whose action on the renal collecting ducts inhibits vasopressin-mediated water re-absorption. According to current guidelines, for patients with HF who have fluid retention, diuretics are recommended to relieve congestion, improve symptoms and prevent worsening HF, despite diuretic resistance and the potential adverse effects that would be related to electrolyte disturbance, impairment of renal function and activation of the renin angiotensin aldosterone system(RAAS). As the vital role of reliving congestion played, diuretics are the cornerstone of therapy in HF. Sustained high volume loading due to water retention caused by reduced ejection is one of the most dangerous pathophysiological processes in HF, resulting in patients' dyspnea and even death. Currently, the absolute numbers of HF prevalent cases and years lived with disability(YLDs) have increased by 91.9% and 106.0% from 1990, respectively. Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome derived from any structural or functional impairment of ventricular filling or ejection of blood. Tolvaptan can be recommended for water retention in HF patients, but more evidence is needed. The result of GRADE assessment was not optimistic, so the overall quality of the evidences was low as well. ![]() Besides, every article had a few non-critical item defects too. all the 9 articles were rated as low-quality because AMSTAR 2 evaluation showed that they each had at least one critical item (items 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15) defect. It was pessimistic when it comes to the quality of the 9 studies. Through conducting forest plots, it appeared that tolvaptan brought more positive effect than conventional therapies. Serum sodium concentration and urine output were considered as primary outcomes and body weight change and all-cause mortality as second outcomes. ResultsĪ total of 9 SRs/Mas between 2015 to 2020 met inclusion criteria. The methodological and evidence quality were respectively evaluated by AMSTAR-2 (A MeaSurement Tool to Assess systematic Reviews 2) and GRADE (Grading of Recommendation of Assessment, Development, and Evaluation) system. Revman 5.3 was used to make forest plots to show the characteristics of outcomes. Standardized forms were used to extract data. All the records were managed with Endnote 20. MethodsĪ comprehensive literature search was performed on PubMed, EMBASE, web of science, Cochrane reviews for SRs/Mas published between the databases’ establishment to November 17, 2021. The purpose of this systematic review is to collect, appraise, and synthesize existing evidence from systematic reviews and meta-analyses (SRs/MAs) on the effectiveness of tolvaptan for water retention in heart failure. Std prank text us9/28/2023 ![]() Sometimes patients want to avoid awkwardness or it is because they are upset at the implications of the results. Too often people fail to properly communicate to sexual partners once they have had a positive result. “STIs are often initially symptomless, so people need to know their status and how to get treatment - whether that’s communicated anonymously or face-to-face. One patient told the service via its option to provide feedback that she wouldn’t have told her last two sexual partners that she tested positive for Chlamydia if not for the service and the ability to remain anonymous. The company cites a .uk poll that showed 67% of UK adults wouldn’t necessarily inform a partner if they had an STI - the majority (92%) of which saying they were worried how they’d be perceived.Ī spokesperson for the service says they’ve heard from patients - who are anonymous - who have said they wouldn’t have notified previous partners if they hadn’t been able to do so anonymously. The service, .uk, aims to boost people’s sexual health knowledge and make it easier for people to tell their partners about an STI. Once on the website, people can also find STI fact sheets, counselling and support, details on treatment and information on next steps. The message tells the receiver a “person who cares about you has recently tested positive for an STI” and gives details about the STI and how to get tested. The person can enter either a mobile number or an email address for the person or people they wish to notify, select whether they wish to reveal their name or remain anonymous, and send - everything else is automated. If someone has tested positive for STI, they would have the option to send an anonymous text or email to recent partners to let them know. Here’s how it works: Patients have a secure login to the online portal, which allows them to access their test results. The STI testing company behind E4’s The Sex Clinic allows customers who have received a positive test result to anonymously email or text current or previous partners to let them know they might want to get checked. New service hopes people will be more likely to tell previous partners about STIs if they can remain anonymous Gospel of john bible study for youth pdf9/28/2023 ![]() Chapter Five gives us another miracle of Jesus.

Luminar neo key9/28/2023 ![]() The diagram below shows a simple, three-light setup for a high key portrait. Although there are several ways to accomplish high key lighting, we’re going to describe two basic setups that accomplish the desired effect consistently. Large soft boxes work well for portraiture. You can mix modifiers as you wish to achieve harsher or softer effects. The type of light source you use isn’t critical as long as your exposure settings and white balance are correct. Even a grey background can be suited for a scene with high key lighting provided you use the right contrast. Your high key images can have a high or a low contrast depending on the mood you’re trying to create. Images with low contrast lighting, on the other hand, have a much narrower range of tones. Images with high contrast lighting display a full range of tones, from bright highlights to dark shadows. Contrast lightingĬontrast is the difference between the light and the dark parts of a scene. High key photography, being the opposite, is full of light and evokes upbeat feelings and positivity. ![]() Usually it involves a black background and not a lot of light. Low key lighting is used in portrait photography to emphasize a person’s face or body without any distractions. Low key photography is usually dark, mysterious, and atmospheric. Another way to understand high key meaning is to start from the opposite. The opposite of high key lighting is low key lighting. Photo by Evgeny TchebotarevLow key lighting It can also be effective in creating a ghostly effect if modeling shadows are sufficiently reduced. High key lighting is a good choice for happy photos. This setup is often used in product photography as well to isolate the subject, remove distractions, and give images a more upbeat and friendly feel. The reduction of shadow reduces drama, making high key lighting an ideal choice for children’s photography and humorous shots. High key lighting is useful in creating portraits with a light and airy mood. In portraits and similar shots, the effect is usually combined with strong lights in the background to render it solid white. Generally speaking, this setup produces an image in which the subject is relatively free of shadows, leaving the highlights predominant. ![]() Therefore, in this setup, the key light is stronger than the other lights, which are called fill lights. “High” refers to the power of this light relative to others. The word “key” refers to the main light in a multi-light arrangement. Let’s start with a basic understanding of high key meaning.
