The same problem is there in Week view: Fantastical snaps to the start of the week (Sunday by default), even if you are clearly trying to just scroll forward or back by a couple days. It also allows you to scroll by smaller increments using on-screen buttons. Bus圜al doesn't have the buttery-smooth scrolling of Fantastical or Calendar.app, but it does allow you to define 'Month' view as a multi-week period starting in the current week. The OS X Calendar.app handles this much better: It snaps to the start of the month initially, but it allows you to scroll by smaller increments. If you try to scroll by a couple weeks so that you can see a little more of the future, Fantastical snaps to the next calendar month. So on, say, March 25th, most of the screen is given over to events that are in the past. By default, 'Month' view always shows 6 weeks starting at the beginning of a calendar month. The vertically-scrolling events view was an awesome solution to the problem of how to present a user's calendar timeline on an iPhone screen (or in a menubar applet), but it feels kind of 'bolted on' and unjustified on the large-screen Mac app.į2 does not have true multi-week or multi-day views. I guess they did it to make space for the very Fantastical-on-iOS scrolling list of events, but frankly this feels kind of odd and redundant to me. So it seems to be a deliberate decision, but it really compromises usability for me. I'm a little baffled by this-Google Calendar, the native OS X Calendar, Outlook, Bus圜al, pretty much every multi-calendar app I've ever used, has given over some UI space to the list of calendars. ![]() While actually using the app, you can't see a list of the visible calendars with corresponding names/colors, and you can't manually toggle visibility of a calendar without going back into the app's preferences (there is a shortcut to the preferences within the Calendar Set drop-down). ![]() You can go into the app's preferences and define named sets of calendars, and then toggle between them using a dropdown menu, but that's it. I was hoping that Fantastical 2 might offer some of this same functionality along with its trademark beautiful design and awesome natural-language parsing, but I have found that their 'Calendar Sets' feature is much more limited. Once viewing a particular set, you can also toggle visibility of individual calendars manually. (Smart Filters are even more powerful, but I only use them for calendar sets). Each filter gets a slim button across the top of the window which can be used to switch to that view. You can also create named sets of calendars, using Bus圜al's 'Smart Filters'. The sidebar also acts as a legend for the event color.You can toggle visibility for individual calendars or whole groups of calendars from the sidebar.You can unsubscribe from (and hide) calendars that you never look at, but don't want to delete from Google.You can rename calendars within Bus圜al (which helps if the calendar owner gave it a dumb/long/ambiguous name).There is a dedicated sidebar where you can drag to reorder and organize calendars into folders (called 'Calendar Groups' in Bus圜al).I also have the usual shared family calendars, holiday schedules, etc.)īus圜al makes calendar organization and selection a first-class experience: (At my workplace each piece of shared equipment is booked on its own calendar, as is each conference room. I was particularly excited about the new 'Calendar Sets' feature in F2, since I use about 50 shared Google Calendars. I have them both open side-by-side right now. As a mostly-satisfied Bus圜al user on Mac since 2012, and a devoted Fantastical user on iOS, I was very interested to take the new Fantastical 2 for Mac (F2) for a spin. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Dictionary .com word of the day![]() ![]() Regardless of the word’s origins, writers have found transmogrify useful for centuries.

And from there our cadence traces just a little further backward to the Latin verb cadere “to sound rhythmically, to fall.” Praise the rising and the falling of the lilting in our language, whether singing songs or rhyming or opining on it all. But lest we be mistaken, cadence also lends its meaning to the sounds of Mother Nature (such as birdsong) to be sure. 2020Ī cadence is a rhythm, or a flow of words or music, in a sequence that is regular (or steady as it were).

Obesity greatly increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart disease and stroke as well as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, musculoskeletal disorders including osteoarthritis, and some cancers. While it can be broken down to the simple, personal case of controlling energy intake and output, there is often more involved and managing obesity on a societal level has far from an algorithmic solution. It is mostly preventable however, through lifestyle and diet changes, though there is still insufficient understanding of all the factors affecting obesity. There are rarer cases where obesity is caused primarily by genes, hormonal imbalances due to endocrine disorders, medications, or mental disorders. Obesity is typically caused by a lack of exercise, excessive food intake, and genetic susceptibility. Effects of Being Underweight, Overweight, and Obese While accurate for an "average" person, this means that it is possible to be categorized as overweight or underweight and still be "healthy," but this requires more than a generalized calculation to determine – likely with the help of a medical professional. Refer to the BMI Calculator for more information, but note that a "healthy body weight" is based on estimations that do not account for certain factors such as body composition. An adult aged 18 or older with a BMI between 18.5 and 25 kg/m 2 is typically defined as having a healthy or normal weight. Given a specific height, the calculator uses standard algorithms to calculate the range of possible body weights that fall within different categories of weight determined by BMI. The range of healthy body weights is calculated based on BMI. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Narrow pulse pressure![]() ![]() The purpose of this review is to show the importance of pulse pressure (PP) as clinical marker of cardiovascular risk in patients with CKD. Oxidant stress and inflammation may be the primary mediators or the “missing link” that could explain the tremendous burden of CVD in CKD ( 2). Several nontraditional factors, such hyperhomocysteinemia, oxidant stress, dyslipidemia, and elevated inflammatory markers, are associated with atherosclerosis. Most of the traditional CVD risk factors, such as older age, diabetes, systolic hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and low HDL cholesterol, are highly prevalent in CKD. ( 4) demonstrated that reduced estimated GFR <60 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 independently predicts the risk for death and cardiovascular events in individuals with or without known CVD. The task force recommended that patients with CKD be considered in the highest risk group. This report showed that there was a high prevalence of CVD in CKD and that mortality as a result of CVD was 10 to 30 times higher in dialysis patients than in the general population. ![]() In 1998, the National Kidney Foundation Task Force issued a report that emphasized the high risk for CVD in CKD ( 3). CVD in CKD is treatable and potentially preventable, and CKD seems to be a risk factor for CVD ( 2). However, cardiovascular disease (CVD) also frequently is associated with CKD, which is important because individuals with CKD are more likely to die of CVD than to develop ESRD ( 1). ESRD that requires treatment with dialysis or transplantation is the most visible outcome of CKD. There is a rising incidence and prevalence of ESRD, with poor outcome and high cost. The purpose of this review is to show the importance of PP on cardiovascular risk in patients with CKD, including kidney transplant recipients.Ĭhronic kidney disease (CKD) is a worldwide public health problem. Several studies have shown that PP is a reliable prognostic factor for mortality and CVD in patients who have CKD and are on hemodialysis and in renal transplant patients. The burden of hypertension is present at all stages of CKD. Most of the traditional CVD risk factors are highly prevalent in CKD, and several nontraditional factors also are associated with atherosclerosis in CKD. This holds true for all stages of kidney disease, including ESRD that requires renal replacement therapy. The progression of kidney disease and its associated cardiovascular complications are the major causes of morbidity and mortality. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem. Increasingly, PP is recognized as an independent predictor of myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and cardiovascular death, even in hypertensive patients who undergo successful antihypertensive drug therapy, especially in older individuals. PP reflects stiffness of the large arteries and increases with age. Systolic BP seems to be a more important factor than diastolic BP on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in older patients. Recently published prospective studies have focus on systolic and pulse pressure (PP). It was first described in 1935 by an American cardiothoracic surgeon Calude Beck (1894-1971).Epidemiologic studies have emphasized the close relationship between high BP and cardiovascular disease (CVD). ![]() Excess fluid around the heart deadens the cardiac sounds. Also, increased outside pressure reduces the end-systolic filling capacity of the atria, hence a rapid increase and higher pressure in atria leads to increased pressure in, and distension of, the jugular veins even when the patient is in an upright position. Based on Frank Starling's law, a decreased end-diastolic volume means weaker stroke volume and hence lower systolic blood pressure. The accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac, particularly if it happens quickly, can result in marked increased pressure outside the heart this subsequently reduces the ability of the ventricles to accommodate enough blood volume at the end of diastole. 2/20/2023 0 Comments Mass effect 2 romance options![]() ![]() After that, players can reaffirm the romantic relationship or, if Shepard romanced others during Mass Effect 2, be given a chance to choose Ashley. When players first meet her again, they must choose the following dialogue options to clear the air about Cerberus: " It was a temporary alliance," "You know me better than that," "You think I'm like him?" and "I'm still that guy." The next conversation will happen when players visit her at the hospital. They should pick the "I'm eye candy too," "Waiting for the right man," and "I want more than friendship" options to lock in the relationship.Īshley's romance in Mass Effect 3 can vary, as it can be carried over from the first game or initiated during this sequel. After meeting him in the Citadel near the memorial wall, players will then be able to find him in Purgatory. During further conversations, players should keep picking positive options and interrupting with Paragon whenever possible. After completing a mission, Cortez will move to the back of the Cargo Bay, and players must choose the "Don't work too hard" and the "Do it for me" dialogue options. Players will first meet him in the Cargo Bay, listening to a recording, and should be reassuring during the conversation by picking the Paragon options on the top right. Steve Cortez is a Mass Effect 3 romantic option exclusive to male Shepards and is one of the new additions to the Normandy Crew. Related: Mass Effect 3: All Legendary Edition Changes & Differences Steve Cortez After rescuing her during the mission, Jack can be found in the Purgatory Bar on the Citadel, where players will be able to meet her and rekindle the relationship by choosing the "I still want you" line. Players must make sure to accept this mission before " Priority: Palaven," or it will become inaccessible, and players won't be able to meet Jack. Jack is one of the only romantic partners in the game which players can miss entirely, as her associated mission, " Grissom Academy: Emergency Evacuation," is optional. The player should answer "I trust you" followed by "Stop talking and kiss me." The love story will culminate at the end of " Priority: Horizon" and will result in Miranda's death if these three conditions have not been met: players did not break up with her during Mass Effect 3 Miranda's loyalty mission in Mass Effect 2 was completed, or she was warned about Kai Leng she was given access to Alliance resources. ![]() She will eventually contact Shepard again and meet at the Presidium Commons to request access to Alliance resources. After " Priority: Citadel 2", head to the War Room to acquire Kai Leng's dossier from Anderson and make sure to read it in the private terminal to be able to warn Miranda about him during the second encounter. Players will meet her three times throughout the game, the first aboard the Normandy, after " Priority: Palaven," where players must pick "Nothing's changed" during the dialogue. ![]() Romancing Miranda during Mass Effect 3 will be somewhat tricky, as she will be on the run from Cerberus while investigating her sister's disappearance. ![]() 2/20/2023 0 Comments Wind data generator![]() ![]() Includes step irons.Ī very tall pole or tower usually in place to mount CCTV, aerials or radio transmitters.Ī starter (also self-starter, cranking motor, or starter motor) is a device used to rotate (crank) an internal-combustion engine so as to initiate the engine's operation under its own power.
