![]() It becomes very important to work on the issues associated with the block so you can create a solid foundation for yourself and life, and find the balance. Entertaining read for new and experienced astrologers alike. ![]() Written in short, fragmented sentences, this article embraces phrases, concepts, imagery, and more to evoke meaning. Natal planets that are square your Midheaven/Imum Coeli axis can be seen as a block to balancing the internal and external, and may get in the way of having a solid foundation for your life, constantly creating rifts and shaking things up too much. Brainstorm: Mercury/Neptune Astrology Aspects interprets astrology aspects between Mercury and Neptune. ![]() The kind of family you had growing up, the kind of home life you want to have, and what you hold at your core can be found with the Imum Coeli. We all start at the bottom with the Imum Coeli, and rise to the Midheaven (at least, we can try to!). Rulers of the Fifth house (gambling, lottery) - PLUTO, JUPITER, SATURN. Directed and progressed Mercury sextile the V house top and trine the XI house top. It’s the very bottom of your chart (hence being your roots). Natal/transit Mars or Jupiter aspects to Neptune Venus and Jupiter retrograde (this may be in natal chart or progression) Transit Uranus aspects to Midheaven (MC). It governs your home and family, your roots and where you come from. The Imum Coeli is exactly opposite the Midheaven, so it’s internal and focused on the personal. You will likely attract a less aggressive, more spiritually inclined. Sexual encounters would be intensely compassionate, tender, and spiritual. You will enjoy a strong magnetic attractiveness and sultry charm, making this an ideal time for romantic romance. In the natal chart, it’s more the approach you can take to your life path. Mars trine Neptune transit stimulates your sensuality, creativity, and community spirit. This position also shows your life path, the direction that your life goes in, but this is more often seen through transits, progressions, and in return charts. It can show anything that we look up to, aspire to be, and respect. Because of this, it’s often tied to career, what we want professionally, but the goals we have can go outside of our professional lives, so it’s not exclusively that. The Midheaven is the highest part of your chart, and so it’s tied to what you aspire to be. The Midheaven is external, focused on your goals, ambitions, and direction in life.

![]() I think some PICC catheters are cut to length which is why they must be measured on removal.I am familiar with the broviac I am confused by the way you have written some of your questions so hope the above helps a bit. Can't tell you the amount of times I've seen peopel inject into a PICC without swabbing it first with alcohol. ![]() Maintain strict cleanliness with PICC lines as the patient can pick up infections very easily from dirty hands and unsterile techniques. What do you mean all meds come out the tip of the PICC? I for one am a bit confused by your questions. PICCs can be used for nutritional reasons too and are very versatile. These can be labelled, but usually aren't. Red could be to draw blood, blue for IV medications, another port, ie: white, could be used for chemotherapy. They can thread PICCs thru any large vein if necessary though.Īll PICC lines I have used have multiple ports that are usually coloured. The PICC line needs to stay intact as medications go right into the patients superior vena cava, to their heart & circulatory system. ![]() I don't know why u think we would need to cut the tip or the port? What rationale did you have in mind for that - just interested in your thinking process. People from other countries may have different ways of saying things too. OP you are shooting yourself in the foot as we can't understand what your abbreviations are and therefore you may lose out on valuable answers. As a stopgap you could switch the pressor infusion to the distal port, get your x-ray, and think about getting the line replaced.What is an EHR? What does TLC stand for? Sorry can people PLEASE put the full word at first, then the abbreviation in brackets. ![]() If you were infusing pressors through the proximal port - perfectly OK in a properly situated line - and those pressors now began infusing into the tissue on account of the port was pulled back out of the vessel - that would be a bad thing. Suppose you turned your patient over and the line took a yank, got pulled out a couple of inches. Doesn't ring no bell.Īn important point: don't run anything into a central line lumen without checking that there's a good, visible blood return. I never heard of TPN "burning" anyones vasculature in relation the port chosen - I been hanging TPN for a long time, too. Make sense? We use them for intermittent med infusions like antibiotics, etc., never for pressor/vasoactive drips.īlue and white ports can be used at your preference. Next: you wanna use the brown port for your CVP transducer, on account of it's the largest lumen, also it's looking straight down into the RA. The blue one is medial, the white one is proximal - closest to the site of insertion. So the port that opens up at the tippy end of the line - which is the brown-ended one on an Arrow multilumen - that's the distal port. The ports are described in relation to the insertion site - where the line enters the patient. Like, normally, the fingers are distal to the elbow, right? Further away from the center of the body? Hope this helps! But, most likely, you will never forget which port is used for what after getting questioned in clinicals!įirst concept is that with regards to the position of the ports, the normal idea of distal and proximal is reversed. Also used for blood draws and monitoring central venous pressure (CVP). Medications, IV solutions, lipids, and colloids. Medications, IV solutions, more viscous fluids like TPN and lipids, colloids, and blood products if distal lumen is not open. Medications, IV solutions, and blood products if other lumens are not open. This may vary by manufacturer, but typically each lumen of the catheter is a different color, its own separate line, and used for designated purposes. When I worked in the ICU, patients were often receiving multiple medications and fluids at once, so a triple lumen central catheter, and knowing the function of each port, was essential. It's important for nurses to understand the lumen configuration and designation when caring for a patient with a triple lumen. ![]() Universal USB Installer at this moment does not support installing and booting from multiple Linux Distributions, but the developer’s are promising addition of this feature soon. ![]() ![]() If you run Universal USB Installer from the same directory containing an installable ISO, the script will auto-detect the ISO and install it on your flash drive. Simply choose any one of the Live Linux distribution ISO file that is now supported by it, grab your USB flash drive and, click on Install. The Universal USB Installer is very easy to use. It even supports Dr.Web Live CD Scanner, SliTaZ Cooking, Ultimate Boot CD, and more. The updated full list of supported distribution is available at the developer’s page. Universal USB Installer at this moments supports a huge number of Linux distributions, including both the 32 and 64-bit versions of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and sysadmin or technicians favorites like Backtrack, GParted, DBAN, Clonezilla, OphCrack, System Rescue CD, etc to name a few. USB Drive for Android phones, moreover contains software links, from manufacturer, Samsung Kies, Sony PC Companion, Lg Pc Suite. What I meant when I said “persistent storage”? It means that you’ll actually have some permanent storage space in your flash drive to save things like your files and preferences, instead of having a clone of your disc image in your flash drive. In my previous articles, I covered two softwares, UNetbootin and Multiboot USB Menu that helps me to make the distros ready to be booted directly off my USB flash device.Īnother, very good utility that helps me create persistent storage on my flash drive is Pendrive Linux’s Universal USB Installer. This saves me time as I don’t have to first configure the virtual machine and install the Linux distros to test it. But for those Linux distributions that offers Live CD/DVD option, I use my USB flash drive to test them live. Universal USB Installer aka UUI is a Live Linux USB Creator that allows you to choose from a selection of Linux Distributions to put on your USB Flash Drive. Most of the time, to test the other operating system and distributions, I use VirtualBox or VMware Player to virtualize them. I triple boot my system with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Ubuntu but I also like to test other Linux distributions.

Once the researchers managed to reach the field station at the volcano Mount Erebus, where temperatures away from the geothermal sites get to minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 34 degrees Celsius), the team fanned out to various sites and used ropes and harnesses to access a range of geothermal features. "When we woke up on Thanksgiving for our 'feast' and made our soup, we realized our hot water was no longer hot-just tepid. "It was over Thanksgiving so we decided to save our remaining dry soup mix and crackers for Thanksgiving day," Connell says. The researchers' next step will be to find direct evidence - namely, the life itself - in samples. While the DNA captured from the volcanic areas did not conclusively prove that the sites host living forms of the plants and animals, the samples nonetheless offer a tantalizing glimpse into what forms of life might live there. "It opens up the doors to some exciting discoveries about biodiversity in Antarctica." ![]() which makes me wonder if there might be species that are specially adapted to the caves and found nowhere else," Fraser says. "There were some sequences that didn't make a close match to DNA in online databases. But Fraser says the team also identified genetics of life that may be unique to the unusual environment of the volcanic ice caves. Most of the DNA collected from the caves match with species of, say, moss, algae and nematodes already detected at other sites on the continent. She has won numerous awards including the Carl Sagan medal from the American Astronomical Society and the Lowell Thomas medal from the Explorers Club.It's in these caves that Fraser's research team collected soil samples that yielded the DNA of dozens of plant and animal species. She has authored or co-authored 9 books, including “Antarctica: Earth’s Own Ice World”. She was a science team member of both the Galileo and Cassini missions and is currently studying whether Titan may be habitable. ![]() ![]() Her research expertise is planetary volcanology and she has studied volcanoes on Mars, Jupiter’s moon Io, and Saturn’s moons Titan and Enceladus. Rosaly Lopes is the Directorate Scientist for Planetary Science at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The talk will discuss their journey from the initial proposal to the publication of a book.ĭr. They explored the caves and ice towers on the flanks of Erebus, taking photographs and eventually generating original art depicting scenes in Antarctica that are analogs to those on other planets and moons. Rosaly Lopes will tell the story of their journey, discussing Antarctica’s infrastructure, the training necessary for working in the hostile conditions, and their work at the volcano. The complex operations of Antarctica’s McMurdo station and outposts echo the types of strategies that future explorers will undertake as they set up settlements on the Moon and Mars. In 2016, Rosaly Lopes and artist Michael Carroll teamed up as fellows of the National Science Foundation to travel to Mount Erebus, Earth’s southernmost active volcano. ![]() The RECTEQ smoker uses an algorithm to pulse the fan on and off at lower temperatures in order to produce maximum smoke. It is a known fact that some pellet smokers give a much lighter smoke flavor than most other smokers and this often leaves users wanting a little more. Worked like a charm! Smoke Production and Flavor The controller is a very fancy computer controlled one that not only holds an absolutely precise temperature, but it also connects to the Wi-Fi in your home and allows you to monitor and control the smoker right on your smart phone from anywhere.Īs if that's not enough, the controller has inputs for not one but two probes (included) so you can also monitor the temperature of what you are cooking x 2.Ī short while back, I placed a ham in the RECTEQ smoker before I left for church on Sunday morning and one hour later, I turned it on, set the temperature and monitored it (very discreetly of course) via my smart phone so it would be ready right when we got home. RECTEQ decided to do what no one else had done up to this time and make it hold an absolute exact temperature. Most pellet smokers maintain a heat range and while this works just fine, it is a source of contention for many. This is where a lot of people are going to get very excited. The ceramic ignitor is the longest lasting ignition system for pellet smokers on the market. The ignitor is made of ceramic unlike most other ignitors on other brands of pellet smokers which are made of steel. The burn pot is stainless steel like much of the rest of the smoker so it's very heavy duty and built to last. The fact that they are split into (2) pieces means they will fit into most dishwashers if you really want to get them cleaned up.Īn interior light with a on/off switch on the controller makes it easy to see what you are cooking at night and the heavy duty glass cover over the bulb is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The ¼ inch stainless steel rod cooking grates are very heavy duty as well and makes them easy to keep clean. At approximately 36 inches wide and 20 inches front to back, the cooking area is more than enough to cook for a large crowd. The Cooking ChamberĪll stainless steel, sealed seams and extremely heavy duty says it all. The stainless steel lid on the hopper makes a great place to sit foil pans to keep the food warm as well. The hopper being on the back allows for a shorter distance to move the pellets from the hopper to the burn pot. This thing is on the very back of the unit and it's huge! It holds 40 lbs of pellets which means you'll not need to fill it up very often and you can run it for a day and a half without adding more fuel. ![]() CHECK LATEST PRICE The Main Features of this REC TEQ Pellet Grill The BIG Pellet Hopper ![]() But unlike any other app I tested, Reeder will hide panels depending on how big the current window is.

Faithless is based an a real event in Ingmar Bergman's life. We also witness the old Bergman who, once upon a time, was the leading figure in the love-making' dance but is now in his study, feeling pangs of conscience for what he did to the woman he loved then. We follow the three in their love-making dance - and witness the child that sits in the middle without understanding her own role. But, as I see it, the victim is the child she who has been used in the adults' own game. Two men and a woman desire to `play' an `adult game': let us love a little dangerously, let us be happy together, let us forget what is good and what is evil. To live in a state of unfaithfulness at the turn of the millennium is simply a way of life that more and more people choose to live. "The unfaithfulness portrayed by Ingmar Bergman in his new film script is not a conscious unfaithfulness - not an act of will. No one is innocent, people manipulate those they love, secrets are revealed and everyone it appears - is faithless. ![]() When Markus demands a divorce and custody of Isabelle, all the parties will play out a dangerous game with tragic consequences. But the waiting - and the knowing of their unfaithfulness has become intolerable to him. In fact he has known about them even before they went to Paris, but decided to play a `waiting game', hoping the passion would burn out. One night, tragedy knocks on the lovers' door: it's Markus. When Marianne and David return to Sweden, although everyday life takes over, they become lovers again. When Markus goes on an extensive tour and Isabelle stays with her grandmother, the two arrange to meet in Paris. Marianne now sees him in a different light, and finds him both sexually and emotionally attractive. But something changes and what was once a safe, platonic friendship between Marianne and David is suddenly altered. One night, while Markus is away, David visits the flat as usual. Twice divorced, David is often at Marianne and Markus' apartment, and he is Isabelle's favourite storyteller. They have a nine-year old daughter, Isabelle. Marianne is happily married to Markus, a successful conductor. He allows her to become a woman, an actress and calls her Marianne. A writer living on an island, struggles with a story based on his memory of a love story. Written by Ingmar Bergman, adapted and directed by Liv Ullmann, FAITHLESS is loosely based on a true episode in the life of the Swedish director.

Note = "Funding Information: ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. Considering their algogenic effects in mice, potent insecticidal effects, and high levels of sequence conservation, we propose that the δ-HXTXs were repurposed from an initial insecticidal predatory function to a role in defending against nonhuman vertebrate predators by male spiders, with their lethal effects on humans being an unfortunate evolutionary coincidence.", δ-HXTX-Ar1a also inhibited inactivation of cockroach NaV channels and was insecticidal to sheep blowflies. We demonstrate that δ-HXTX-Ar1a, the lethal toxin from the Sydney funnel-web spider Atrax robustus, induces pain in mice by inhibiting inactivation of voltage-gated sodium (NaV) channels involved in nociceptive signaling. Phylogenetic and evolutionary assessments reveal a remarkable sequence conservation of δ-HXTXs despite their deep evolutionary origin within funnel-web spiders, consistent with a defensive role. Here, by profiling venom-gland transcriptomes of 10 funnel-web species, we report 22 δ-HXTXs. ![]() Although 35 species of Australian funnel-web spiders have been described, only nine δ-HXTXs from four species have been characterized, resulting in a lack of understanding of the ecological roles and molecular evolution of δ-HXTXs. Funnel-web envenomations are mostly inflicted by male spiders that wander from their burrow in search of females during the mating season, which suggests a role for δ-HXTXs in self-defense since male spiders rarely feed during this period. ![]() Humans and other primates did not feature in the prey or predator spectrum during evolution of these spiders, and consequently the primate lethality of δ-HXTXs remains enigmatic.
