The finding underlines the importance of analyzing SF from the hand and wrist joints in the attempt to identify comorbidities associated with the presence of crystals and to develop targeted treatment strategies. Consistent with previously reported data concerning the big joints, microcrystals can be frequently found also in the small joints of patients with previous diagnosis. The prevalence of MSU crystals in SF was 83.3 % in gout, 10 % in PsA, 2.8 % in OA and 0 % in RA, SpA, miscellanea and CPP-CA. The prevalence of CPP crystals in SF was 85.71 % in CPP-crystals arthritis (CPP-CA), 19.35 % in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 13.89 % in osteoarthritis (OA) and 0 % in psoriatic arthritis (PsA), spondyloarthritis (SpA), gout and miscellanea. We reported from patients’ medical files data about sex, age, diagnosis, disease duration and the microscopic SF results. We reviewed the results of SF analysis of 1593 samples and identified 126 patients with effusions in the small joints of the hands and wrists. The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of monosodium urate (MSU) and calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) crystals in synovial fluids (SFs) aspirated from wrist and finger joints of patients with previously diagnosed joint diseases. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Check this movie, or the book out for that matter, if you enjoy strong character development, many tragic events, and stories that take place in the backwoods of Oregon. I think that was the biggest part in the novel, and they left it out. ![]() In the book Leeland fought Hank after everything bad happened to the Stampers, as a way to show Hank that he isn't in control. My only problem with this movie is that they didn't have the big rights of passage fight between Hank and Leeland. She and Hank used to be wild lovers, but Hank is working so hard because of the logger's strike, he pretty much shuts her out, and so she begins to drift away from Hank. She is probably the most complex character, simply because she only lets on what she thinks of her situation in little bits. And Finally, there is Lee Remick, who plays Hank's shut out wife Viv. Leeland just came back from the city, and he came back for the sole purpose of getting even with Hank. Hank and Henry treat him like crap almost the whole movie, because he doesn't belong. While all the other Stampers have leather skin and huge scars from wood chips, he has big bushy hair and is not a big barrel chested logger. Then there is Michael Sarrazin, who plays the outcast Leeland Stamper. He and Hank both head the family, and he and Paul Newman have a fractured relationship that is sort of crass, but still fun to see them on-screen together. He was a very interesting character, and Henry Fonda did a great job at playing him. Then there is Henry Fonda, who plays the eldest Stamper, Henry. Paul Newman always does a great job in his movies, but I think this one I especially like because he isn't as likeable as Cool Hand Luke or Fast Eddie (which are two other favorite characters and movies of mine). He plays his character like he is Hank Stamper. He was able to pull off this very icey dominance, even over his own father. First, Paul Newman, as usual, did an outstanding job. This is a movie for fans of great character development. I found that Paul Newman's direction was very well done. It has excellent acting, a great story (by the late great Ken Kesey), and some very intense scenes. Instead, they're clumsy, resentful enemies, and when they try to sabotage a Stamper lumber raft, they only wind up drifting out to sea - and having to be rescued by the Stampers.This is one of my favorite movies. Based on the best-selling novel from author Ken Kesey (ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST), the story focuses on a two-fisted. All through the film, he avoids making the strikers into heavies and their hatred for the Stampers seem melodramatic. The game develops into a brawl, of course, but in an interesting way instead of going for a hard-action approach to the scene, Newman shoots it in a sort of twilight, bittersweet style. Some of the strikers invite some of the Stampers to a game of touch football. The direction of this scene is superb the reality and the danger of the huge logs are caught in a way that defines the men and their job better than any dialogue could.Īnother scene that reveals Newman's insight as a director takes place at a lumbermen's picnic. The Stamper men seem terribly small as they bring enormous trees crashing to the ground, wrap chains around them, and load them on trucks with big, muscle-bound machines. The best scene in the film takes place during a day of work. Newman shortchanges what you might call the indoor scenes in order to give us the lumber business. The character is left wavering, and we don't fully understand her relationship to her husband. There are a lot of things left fairly unclear, though I'm not quite sure what was on Remick's mind during most of the movie. Sarrazin, Newman's half-brother by Fonda's second wife, comes home to help -and also to mope, to get over a bummer of a year, and to suggest to Newman's wife ( Lee Remick) that maybe she should clear out from the obsessed Stamper clan. But the Stamper family continues to work in defiance of the strike, and despite the fact that Fonda has broken half the bones on his left side in an accident. The striking timber workers idly hang around the union office. The local merchants (especially the neurotic fellow who runs the movie theater and the dry cleaners) are going broke because money has dried up. The story takes place during a timber strike in the Northwest. He rarely pushes scenes to their obvious conclusions, he avoids melodrama, and by the end of "Sometimes a Great Notion," we somehow come to know the Stamper family better than we expected to. But then Newman starts tunneling under the material, coming up with all sorts of things we didn't quite expect, and along the way he proves himself (as he did with "Rachel, Rachel") as a director of sympathy and a sort of lyrical restraint. ![]() ![]() ![]() Whew! So there we have it: a complete color wheel with primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, plus their tints, shades, and tones. You often hear people saying that a color needs to be "toned down", meaning it's too intense and they want to drop the level of intensity.Īdding black and white in different amounts to a color subdues the intensity quickly. When gray (black + white) is added to a pure color, you create a tone. These darken and dull the brightness of pure colors, and range from slightly darker to almost black. When black is added to a pure color, you create a shade. Tints range from slightly whiter to almost-white. They are lighter and paler than a pure color, and not as intense. Some people refer to these as pastel colors. When white is added to a pure color, you get a tint. These are the colors of children's toys, daycare decor, and summer clothes. They are intense, bright, cheery, and untainted colors. Pure Color Primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, without the addition of white, black, or a third color, are pure (or saturated) colors. It ends up being closer to the primary color. They are created by adding more of one primary color than the other creating not a true secondary color. They are the "two-name" colors, such as red-purple, red-orange, yellow-green, etc. Tertiary colors take secondary colors one step further. If you look on the color wheel, you'll find the secondary colors in between two primary colors. They are created using the primary colors. Secondary colors are purple, green, and orange. However, there are exceptions in cases like light (where they’re cyan, magenta, and yellow), the print industry’s CMYK, and the RGB model used in screens and monitors. In most cases, they’re red, blue, and yellow. Primary colors are the core ingredients other colors are made from by mixing them together in different amounts. And, when mixing paint, it matters what particular pigment you're using to get that red in order to come up with the proper new color.īut let's keep primary colors simple and stick with red, blue, and yellow.Let's not forget CMYK for print and RGB for screens or monitors.If you're talking color theory in regards to light, your primary colors would be cyan, magenta, and yellow.These three colors can be used to create the next level of colors, called the secondary colors.Įxceptions, of course, abound when it comes to talking about primary colors. Primary Color Primary colors are the three colors that make all other colors. Anyone in marketing should understand the basics of color theory because no matter what, you are using color in your content. Seeing blue also brings thoughts of trustworthiness to mind always a good thing.Understanding how color works isn't just for artists dipping their hands into paint and pigments all day long. Blue: People are more likely to tell you that blue is their favorite color than any other shade.Yellow may be accepted in kitchens because warm colors stimulate our appetite. An exception: Many people use yellow in kitchens-with no negative sales repercussions. ![]() Many people dislike the color, so if you have a lot of yellow rooms in your home or a yellow front door, you may be advised to repaint to get the best price for your home should you sell. Yellow: Using yellow in a home can be problematic.Violet: People link a grayish violet with sophistication, so it can be a good selection for places where you’re trying to make the “right” impression.Seeing red has been linked to impaired analytical reasoning, though, making it a bad option for offices. Having a red surface in view also gives us a burst of strength, so reds are good choices for home gym areas, etc. Red: People seeing others in front of red backgrounds generally find those other individuals are more attractive than when they see them silhouetted against other colors, so reds are great for a bedroom wall.Green: Seeing the color green has been linked to more creative thinking-so greens are good options for home offices, art studios, etc.Rigorous research has also revealed the special “powers” of particular colors: ![]() ![]() ![]() Saturday is a good first test for the weaker Panthers, since the Canadiens are hungry to clinch a playoff spot of their own.Ī full list of Saturday's games is below.

This statement described alleged observed phenomena documented at Skinwalker Ranch. In May, 2018, a statement by a purported "senior manager" within Bigelow Aerospace's Advanced Space Studies (BAASS) group was released to CBS affiliate KLAS-TV in Las Vegas, which has a long tradition of reporting on local overlaps between UFO researchers and the military. Puthoff is also known for promoting pseudoscience, including infamous "psychic warrior" Uri Geller and Scientology E-meters. According to Vice, both were involved in Bigelow's research on behalf of the Defense Intelligence Agency. Christopher Green, have a long history exploring anomalous subjects and have both conducted research on behalf of the CIA. Hotel magnate Robert Bigelow has investigated UFOs and other aerial phenomena for decades, including at the mysterious Skinwalker Ranch in Utah.

This, in addition to the numerous UFO sightings and previous data collected at Skinwalker Ranch by Bigelow, was not provided to Fugal as part of the purchase.ĭescribing the exploration of the ranch's mysteries as "the greatest science project of our time" Fugal says he's committed "significant resources" to uncovering what, if anything, is happening on the property. in UFO Race with China, Russia, Harry Reid Saysįugal has installed sensors and cameras on the Skinwalker Ranch and has so far collected unreleased footage of "anomalous aerial phenomena," in addition to evidence of "anomalous injuries" and "transient EMF"-unexplained electrical phenomena.

Zhu Zhensong, the producer of Quantum Video production company told Jiefang Daily the video had likely been edited and filmed with a blue or green plastic cloth. This is a totally different kind of invisibility cloak however and video producers were quick to debunk the hoax. The Zhejiang University has also had breakthroughs in stealth technology when in 2013 researchers at the university created a “ box of invisibility” that hides animals. It was named as one of the top 10 scientific discoveries of that year by Time magazine. A discovery that allows engineered material to manipulate and bend light. This was achieved thanks to a breakthrough in research he made on metamaterials in 2008. In 2015, Professor Zhang Xiang and his team developed a thin cloak that could wrap around objects and create the illusion of invisibility of microscopic objects. It’s been reported that Zhang Xiang has been tipped to become the University of Hong Kong’s vice chancellor. The origin of the video appears to still be in question with some claiming it was made by professors at the Zhejiang University and others claiming it is the creation of Professor Zhang Xiang from the University of California, Berkeley. “It can reflect the light wave around the person who wears it, so it can make the person disappear.” “This is a quantum technology-made cloth that is made of transparent material,” he wrote. The video was enough to fool China’s deputy head of Criminal Investigation Department at the Ministry of Public Security, Chen Shiqu, who shared the video on his Weibo account and claimed it could be useful for military matters.

Drives can range from inexpensive memory sticks to large-capacity USB drives, which can be costly. Since you have to use external USN drives, you want to factor the cost of drives in. Typically, USB NASes are small devices as they don't contain hard drives. USB NASes are typically under $100, ranging in price anywhere from $60 for basic NAS functionality to about $130 for advanced features like cloud-based remote access. The biggest upside is that they are very affordable. Pros There are both advantages and disadvantages to USB NASes over HDD NASes. This is why they are often marketed as "USB Adapters." Users connect external USB drives (most also support USB printers, as well) to USB ports on the NAS. ![]() USB NASes differ from traditional HDD-based NASes in that they use external USB drives for centralized storage. Best Hosted Endpoint Protection and Security Software.The DockStar comes with a one-year subscription to the Pogoplug service if you choose to not renew the subscription when it runs out, you can still keep using the DockStar as a NAS device on your local network, but you'll no longer be able to share files with other users over the Internet and you'll lose the ability to access the DockStar remotely. The Pogoplug's $99 cost includes lifetime file sharing and remote access. (If Seagate ever makes the DockStar's SSH password public or someone figures it out, then the DockStar can conceivably be hacked to the same extent as the Pogoplug.)Īnother difference between the DockStar and the Pogoplug is that after the first year of ownership, the DockStar requires a $29.99 yearly subscription fee in order to continue using the DockStar's file sharing and remote access features. Seagate, on the other hand, appears to not want DockStar users to muck with the works-you can access the DockStar via SSH shell access, but without the password, you won't be able to get past the login prompt. ![]() As such, the Pogoplug is easily modifiable via SSH shell access, where users can add additional functionality to the device, such as adding iTunes server or BitTorrent functionality (unlike other more full-featured NAS devices, the DockStar and Pogoplug lack these features). Under the hood, both the DockStar and the Pogoplug are actually fully-functional Linux-based computers: They are system-on-chip (SoC) device, based on Marvell's SheevaPlug Development Kit. (You could use the USB port in the DockStar's cradle to connect to a drive other than a FreeAgent Go drive, but you'd need to get your hands on a cable or adapter that has a female mini-USB port.) Another major difference between the DockStar and the Pogoplug is that the DockStar has a total of four USB 2.0 ports versus the Pogoplug's single USB 2.0 port. While the Pogoplug is essentially a small white cube, the DockStar is a bit more svelte (3.39x3.351.50), with a cradle on top designed to work exclusively with Seagate's line of FreeAgent Go portable hard drives-in fact, the DockStar looks a lot like the Seagate FreeAgent Go Dock.
