Well, non scientific, non reputable sources (aka, I googled) came back with the following potential benefits: Potential Benefits of the Total Body Enhancement Machine: The Total Body Enhancement machine is also known as the “ Beauty Angel RVT 30“, and it is essentially a booth that uses red light therapy bulbs (non damaging, non UV rays) combined with a vibration plate, to magically enhance you, somehow. About the Total Body Enhancement Machine: If super endurance athlete Amelia uses red light therapy, maybe I should too (gah I’m such a sheep). I knew it contained red light therapy bulbs, but that was the extent of my knowledge.īut now I was intrigued. So this Instagram Elite athlete (it was Amelia Boone) reminded me that with my Planet Fitness black card membership, I get free hydro massages (yay), free tanning (say no to skin cancer) and free use of the Total Body Enhancement machine, which I’ve never bothered setting foot in. ![]() Back to the Total Body Enhancement machine. All of that, and I can bring my husband (or anyone else for that matter, but he is my favorite) as a “guest” as many times as I want, for $20 a month. Talk all the smack you want about pizza in a gym, but THIS ultra runner thinks it’s freaking fantastic. The equipment is always functional, and the first Monday of every month? In fact, my local gym (Myrtle Beach) is always super clean, the staff is very friendly, and if we’re being honest, the “no judgment zone” extends to all walks of life at this location…including the super fit ladies rocking only tights and a sports bra. I was wrong.Ībout a year ago I joined the Myrtle Beach PF circuit as a black card member in order to be able to workout with some friends. Cheese (we passed it on the way to Portland Maine multiple times per year).īut I’ll be the first to stand up and say, I’m sorry Planet Fitness. I’ve also snarkily commented over the fact that for years, their headquarters was located right next to a Chuck E. If you have known me for a while, you’ve certainly seen one of my rants over their “lunk” marketing campaigns and the fact that they have a reputation for singling out and shunning fit people kicking you out if they deem your outfit too “intimidating” and getting rid of squat racks and heavy free weights because only bone-head “lunks” use those. ![]() Deep down I still fully support locally owned, small gyms that do not have a “no judgement” double standard, first and foremost. Planet Fitness, as it turns out, is not as horrible of a place as I once imagined it to be. But Heather, I thought you hated Planet Fitness? Immediately my mind thought of the “ Total Body Enhancement” contraptions at my local Planet Fitness. I was scrolling through Instagram stories, because that’s been my favorite distraction lately, despite the fact that I’m somewhat angry with Instagram for shortening users attention spans and therefore ruining the blogging industry.Īs I scrolled through the daily IG “story” of an elite endurance athlete I admire, my (short) attention was grabbed by a boomerang video of her in a red light therapy bed.

![]() Not war, not animal attacks, not accidents, but disease. In real life, up until very recently, the #1 numero uno top killer of humanity as a whole was disease. I like that there is now a disease that won't just kill you, that can appear (as opposed to frail, bad back, dementia, that the pawns are generated with), but considering the current bionic options in game, some sort of immunity, drastic treatment, or preventative medicine is in the realm of possible. I would like surgical options to reduce the impact, or high quality medicines (glitterworld only, or maybe glitter and regular) to significantly reduce impact or duration, or introduce some sort of bionic option that has a small permanent benefit AND makes the pawn immune to one of the parasite types (stupid as it sounds, a bionic "stomach" maybe that makes hunger deteriorate slower (efficient digestion?) and makes you immune to gut worms.a bionic spine that increases manip and movement by 5% each and makes you immune to muscle parasites.or just bionic arms and legs can negate the manip OR movement penalty of muscle parasites) (The terribly edited image below shows these three steps.I put that they're fine as is.its not totally true, but i don't necessarily want them to happen less often or naturally last shorter. Now, press the Edit Mode menu and you can customize the scenario before you start. ![]() Here, you can customize your starting scenario. Then navigate to the bottom of the UI and select the option Scenario Editor. Pick one of the templates to begin with that you want to play. Here, the first thing you must do is pick a scenario. I personally use this to disable infestations. You know when sometimes you wish you could just remove a feature of a game? Luckily for haters of muscle parasites, you can! When you are first starting the game you have some customization options. How to Disable Muscle Parasites in Rimworld To them, I have created the following guide. A lot of players think that muscle parasites shouldn’t have even been included as an event int he game. The only thing is they are just kind of annoying. This is because you can treat them as soon as they happen, then once every 2 days following this treatment. In the absolute best case you will have the muscle parasites cured in 4 in-game days. You will not get another chance to treat the patient for another 2 days. Always make sure you are providing the best treatment quality when you are treating muscle parasites. This means that the quickest time that muscle parasites can be cured is in 3 treatments. In the best case, a treatment will be 100% quality. You will need a total tend quality of 300% to cure muscle parasites You basically still want to get rid of muscle parasites as soon as possible. Die to the pain that the muscle parasites cause, this may result in your colonists lashing out at each other or experiencing mental breaks. While these parasites are not lethal by any means to your colonists directly, they will give them a huge mood debuff. There is absolutely no positive to having them at all. Muscle parasites only have negative effects on your colonists. How Do Muscle Parasites Affect The Colonists? You can then see the effects of muscle parasites and what they are doing to your colonists. Select the colonist and press the Health menu in their mini UI menu. To view which of your colonists are affected by the muscle parasites you can view their health tab. The in-game description for muscle parasites. These cause weakness and a lack of coordination. The in-game description for muscle parasites reads “ Parasitic creatures in the muscles. Muscle Parasites is a disease which will affect a few of your colonists. When this occurs you will see a notification appear at the side of your screen. In this guide I’ll talk about what this event does and how you can cure muscle parasites.Īs aforementioned muscle parasites is a random event that can happen in Rimworld. ![]() This disease can plague any number of your colonists when it happens. One of these events is the Muscle Parasites event. These events can be good or bad, but most of the time are bad. One of the main features is randomized events that effect your colony.

Where does that leave us?” she asked her husband. Here’s another question about the Zoe-meets-Metro moment: What did Claire Underwood know and when did she know it? She and Frank shared a deliberately vague, pre-bedtime conversation prior to Zoe’s subway-sassination. And now there are going to be massive delays on the Magenta Line - the nonexistent Metro line that obviously includes the Cathedral Heights station - because of it. Given her background as a scoop-hungry, territorial newspaper reporter, it’s possible she may have wanted to keep Frank all to herself as a vessel for intel about the highest levels of government. She also did not seem to buy that Underwood could possibly have killed Russo and staged his suicide. ![]() Zoe thought she could play both a long game - continuing to tap Frank for information once he became vice-president - and a short one - figuring out what actually happened to Peter Russo - without it being a problem. But the more concise, nuanced answer to that question is this: hubris. Here’s another question about all this: Why was Zoe foolish enough to break away from Lucas and Janine, comply with Frank’s demands about deleting all their exchanges from her phone, and attempt to keep him as a source? The most basic explanation is that her journalism instincts, as well as her common sense, suck and always have. but where Frank Underwood’s power of mass destruction overwhelms credibility. Evidently House of Cards takes place in an alternate universe version of D.C., one that mostly resembles the actual D.C. Then again, the whole murder went down at the Cathedral Heights Metro, which doesn’t even exist in real life. It’s far too risky for him to do the ugly shoving himself. No, if a vice-president were going to ice someone like Zoe, he’d get Doug, or some henchman hired by Doug, to do the dirty work. That, or Deep Throat, but even he was smart enough to meet in an empty parking garage in Arlington. Kevin Spacey looked like he had briefly turned back into Jack Abramoff, the very real and ethically compromised lobbyist he played in Casino Jack. But honestly, that outfit, especially the fedora? It only made him seem more suspicious. Would a man who is about to become Vice-President of the United States actually meet a reporter, one with whom he once shared a romantic relationship, in a public Metro station, and kill her? I know he was standing at the farthest, most shadowy end of the platform, and that he was wearing those glasses and that fedora. It was a moment that worked very well from a shock-and-awe perspective, even if it failed to pass the logic test. I did not see it coming I suspect most people who watched this episode before reading any House of Cards–related tweets did not see it coming and Zoe Barnes sure as hell did not see it coming. Okay, now that that’s out of the way: HOLY SHIT, ZOE BARNES GOT SHOVED INTO AN ONCOMING TRAIN BY FRANK UNDERWOOD AND NOW SHE IS DEAD. This insta-analysis is about to delve into the major shocker of this first episode. (If you need a refresher on exactly where it left off, take a moment to read this primer by Amanda Dobbins, as well as the season one recaps by the admirably detail-oriented Jessica Goldstein.)Įven though this is a recap and, therefore, by definition, wading in plot spoilers, I still want to take this moment to say: SPOILER ALERT. With this, its first, much-anticipated, Netflix-able episode of season two, the show has announced its intention to immediately hurtle forward from where it left off, with the unstoppable force of a speeding Metro train. House of Cards season two has clearly dispensed with such formalities. ![]() We had to meet Frank Underwood first get to know his Congressional, media-manipulating landscape and literally adjust our eyes to the low lighting levels before the really dirty stuff - the blackmail, and the planting of career-ruining stories, and the murders dressed up to look like suicide - could begin to unfold. One of the flaws in House of Cards’ first season was that it took a little time for all the ugly plot machinations to get going. Make sure the fish receives high-quality flakes with sufficient vitamins for its specific needs. Treatment: Change 30% to 50% of the water, and carefully monitor the water temperature and PH levels.Symptoms: Tiny pits or “holes’ appear on the fish’s head.then treat with Melafix, Furan 2, or an antibiotic prescribed by a vet. Siphon the gravel and make sure the water is very clean. Treatment: The fish has probably been bullied, and needs to be placed in quarantine.The fish may stop eating and remain at the bottom of the tank. Symptoms: The fish’s tail or fins start rotting, with white or frayed edges.Add aquarium salt or an anti-fungal product to the water. ![]()
A few months later, the 30 maintain error would occur in the middle of the ride and shut down +10 times a ride. It started only at start-up 1-3 times in a row but, wouldn't occur for the rest of the ride (6-30 mile rides). The second Radrover developed a controller issue (30 maintain error) around the 500 mile mark. A thicker box with extra padding would help solve warranty issues as you ship further across the country (WA to NM). I assumed both were shipped at the same time side-by-side because they arrived on the same delivery truck. The second Radrover shipping box was in very good condition. The same Radrover (with shipping damage) battery stopped charging after 200 miles (it would power the bike and discharge properly). New controller under warranty resolved this issue. I had to pause my peddling for 2-4 seconds before it would restart the motor. I later developed and issue on the same RR with the shipping damage with the controller hitting the power cut-off and watts show 000 and the power wouldn't re-engage when you mph slow down below the cut off speed. minor stuff like re-torquing nuts/bolts/screws, adjusting brakes, adjusting derailleur (constantly), and tightening spokes Only a replacement crank under warranty worked. damage to pedal crank and it fell off in the first 10 miles. bent rear derailleur causing the chain to rub the rear tire in 3 lower gears (bent back in alignment) First issue I've had was related to shipping and one of the Rovers with minor damage like: I have two 2016 Radrovers since Sept/2016 with about 1000 miles each. I placed a few screw bolts on the bottom foot to help ease wear on the plastic. Mine tends to show wear on the bottom end. What a pain).Įvery month or so, depending on how often your ride, inspect the bottom of your kick stand. ![]() The other had rust on non-treated bolts (especially the controller bolts. Both rovers had brake levers tilted too high up.įew days after rain or beach - inspect all bolts and overall bike for rust. Tilt brake levers down a tad to put less strain on the wrists by not having to twist your wrist down/fingers up just to clear the brake levers to get access. I found using a softer brake pad on the rear cuts down on excessive heavy braking thus leaving a more desired tread wear (less micro-skidding). This is most likely due to 20+ mph and city street braking of a 60 lb bike + rider/gear (So trying to stop around 225-300 lbs?) Brakes need lots of adjustments to maintain tightness. ![]() ![]() Press the keys or type on the keyboard as you would in-game.This feature is not available on a mouse in On-Board Memory mode. ![]() For example, if you press the A key and wait 4 seconds before pressing the B key, LGS automatically includes those delays in the macro.

For recent reviews on BBB culture models see Helms et al. The stem cell-based BBB models introduced in the last 10 years represent a novel, improved tool for drug discovery and personalized medicine. A great advancement of the BBB culture models was the introduction of co-cultures in which brain endothelial cells, which form the anatomical basis of the BBB, are kept in the presence of other brain perivascular cell types, mainly astrocytes and/or pericytes ( Figure 1a), as pioneered by Nakagawa et al. Cultured brain endothelial cells, which have been available since the 1980s, are one of the most versatile in vitro models to examine the permeability and other properties of the BBB. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is one the most investigated biological barriers due to its importance in different biomedical fields: these include physiological, pathological and pharmacological studies, and cover the area of central nervous system (CNS) drug delivery in health and diseases. We also give an outlook on the future of the field, with potential combinations of existing methods and possible improvements of current techniques. ![]() In this review, we describe built-in sensors to characterize BBB models via quasi-direct current and electrical impedance measurements, as well as the different types of biosensors for the detection of metabolites, drugs, or toxic agents. Their combination with integrated biosensors provides real-time and noninvasive monitoring of the integrity of the BBB and of the presence and concentration of agents contributing to the physiological and metabolic functions and pathologies. The multi-cell type dynamic BBB-on-chip models are in demand in several fields as alternatives to expensive animal studies or static culture inserts methods. The BBB represents the tightest endothelial barrier within the vasculature with high electric resistance and low passive permeability, providing a controlled interface between the circulation and the brain. Models of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) especially profited from this advanced technological approach. These chip devices provide controlled cell culture environments to mimic physiological functions and properties. ![]() The application of lab-on-a-chip technologies in in vitro cell culturing swiftly resulted in improved models of human organs compared to static culture insert-based ones. ![]() In 1995, she joined the second Order of the Phoenix, working undercover in the Ministry and helping to guard the Department of Mysteries.
