![]() So, break out your controller, invite a few friends, and give Turbo Golf Racing a try. It’s a fast and addictive experience, and quite a few people lost their weekend playing match after match. A game consists of three matches, each lasting only a few minutes. And while the game feels balanced at the moment (because everyone’s new), it remains to be seen how the matching making will handle different skill levels and buffs.īut so far, it’s pretty exceptional and crazy fun. It might burn out, and the game lacks a few features that would please RL fans, such as car-showcasing lobbies for teams and winners, and additional game modes. I’m not saying Turbo Golf Racing will be the next Rocket League. But since it’s on Gamepass, anyone with an active subscription can start playing. Usually, I’d have to wait for weeks or months as players I know decide to buy the game or not. Each game supports up to 8 players, and you can create team lobbies for six players. The game is in Early Access on Steam and Game Preview on Gamepass – and the latter’s inclusion is a big reason why I’m writing this post. At this stage, there is no pay-to-win, plus you can’t buy buffs. Turbo Golf Racing is very generous with its XP and in-game currency, and has a store full of rotating items that add cosmetic bling to your car and avatar. That being said, buffs aren’t enough to win. Turbo Golf Racing also offers buffs (called power cores) that alter your gameplay and your chances to win, so every game isn’t quite equally matched. If you miss your ball, it makes more sense to reset your position than to make a U-turn (you can often spot the RL players who haven’t figured this out yet). ![]() The balls behave a little differently and are more prone to lose momentum. But Turbo Golf Racing is also different in key areas. In this respect, it’s very much like Rocket League – and RL players will find a lot of other similarities. All your skill goes into how accurately and hard you can hit your oversized ball, tipping forwards, backwards, and approaching at different angles to change the ball’s trajectory. You can’t collide with other players or interfere with their balls. That involves racing across insane tracks that are part Trackmania and part adventure golf, with a side of kart/arcade racer shenanigans such as firing rockets at your opponents and using map elements to your advantage. But while Rocket League players fight over the same ball in a football match, in Turbo Golf Racing, you each have your own ball that you must try – vaguely golf style – to get it into the hole on the other side before everyone else. Turbo Golf Racing does essentially the same thing: you control an RC car, and you focus your attention on a ball. But this game does enough interesting stuff that it instead helps turn Rocket League into a genre. And Turbo Golf Racing is so damn close to Rocket League that you can almost accuse it of plagiarism.Īlmost. If you are still lost, ‘I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!’ is a famous US margarine brand. ![]() I’d not have even thought about it – down here in the South, we refer to ‘margarine’ and don’t need to allude to its ‘not butterness’. Confession time: I stole the headline for this post from a Steam review for Turbo Golf Racing ( Steam, Gamepass) because there isn’t a better way to describe this game. ![]()

A straightforward tuning job takes about an hour to complete, but a more complex one can involve assessing components such as the keyboard, pedals, and action, and correcting problems such as loose pins or worn felt on hammers. Learn from some of the finest piano technicians and master craftsmen in New York City, one of the largest piano markets, entertainment and music capitals in the world. Their most important tools, however, are their ears and deep knowledge of pianos: their anatomy, mechanical operation, and sound. Piano tuning costs 100 to 225 on average for a piano that receives regular annual service. New York School of Piano Tuning, Service & Repair offers 16-week evening courses that will launch your professional career as a highly-paid piano technician. Piano tuners use a handful of simple tools to test and adjust the pitch of a piano's strings, including a tuning lever, a variety of mutes to silence strings that aren't being tuned, and a tuning fork or electronic tuning device to determine accurate tones. Piano tuning and repair is delicate, painstaking work, best suited to calm and focused individuals who don't mind working alone.

![]() Corneal topography may show a "crab claw-like" appearance, a finding that is seen in both keratoconus and in pellucid marginal degeneration. However, it may not be as specific as corneal pachymetry, because corneal topography only evaluates the degree and distribution of surface irregularities on the cornea, not the thickness of the cornea. The gold standard diagnostic test for PMD is corneal topography. PMD lacks apical corneal scarring, Rizutti's phenomenon, Munson's sign, and the central corneal thickness is usually normal. The inferior peripheral thinning is seen between the 4 o'clock and 8 o'clock positions. In PMD we can see high against the rule astigmatism along with horizontal bow ties. The portion of the cornea that is immediately adjacent to the limbus is spared, usually a strip of about 1–2 mm. The center of the cornea shows normal thickness, with an intact central epithelium, but the inferior cornea exhibits a peripheral band of thinning, to about 1–2 mm. The Bowman's layer of the cornea may be absent, irregular, or have ruptured areas. There may be an increase in the number of mucopolysaccharides in the corneal stroma. The thinning of the corneas may approach 20% of normal thickness. PMD is an idiopathic, non-inflammatory condition. Normally, PMD does not present with vascularization of the cornea, scarring, or any deposits of lipid. This is described as a "beer belly" appearance since the greatest protrusion occurs below the horizontal midline (unlike keratoconus). The cornea just above the region of thinning is of normal thickness, and may protrude anteriorly, which creates an irregular astigmatism. The distribution of the degeneration is crescent or arcuate shaped. PMD is characterized by bilateral thinning ( ectasia) in the inferior and peripheral region of the cornea. While PMD usually affects both eyes, some unilateral cases have been reported. However, in rare cases, PMD may present with sudden onset vision loss and excruciating eye pain, which occurs if the thinning of the cornea leads to perforation. Pain is not typically present in pellucid marginal degeneration, and aside from vision loss, no symptoms accompany the condition. The condition is rare, though the exact prevalence and incidence are unknown. The word "pellucid" means clear, indicating that the corneas retain clarity in pellucid marginal degeneration. The term "pellucid marginal degeneration" was first coined in 1957 by the ophthalmologist Schalaeppi. Surgery is reserved for individuals who do not tolerate contact lenses. Intacs implants, corneal collagen cross-linking, and corneal transplant surgery are additional options. Treatment usually consists of vision correction with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Corneal pachymetry may be useful in confirming the diagnosis. Pellucid marginal degeneration is diagnosed by corneal topography. The cause of the disease remains unclear. ![]() It is typically characterized by a clear, bilateral thinning ( ectasia) in the inferior and peripheral region of the cornea, although some cases affect only one eye. Rarely, it may cause acute vision loss with severe pain due to perforation of the cornea. It typically presents with painless vision loss affecting both eyes.

Dateline’s ‘Missing in America’ posted about Erin’s disappearance. It was dark when the killer shut off the engine, he says. Her husband reported her missing on Sunday, June 29. The podcast begins with the sound of a car slowing down, and then a straight-talking narrator takes over. Because I think there are folks watching who maybe are in a similar relationship or know others that are and don’t know what they are looking at. Erin was three months pregnant at the time and the wife of a marine. I must say I wish that when they portray this kind of thing on Dateline, that they would also have a professional mental health expert or psychologist to give some context to what we are watching. What a small God she must have to end up with the short end of the stick is what strikes me.

And I didn’t feel aroused enough so I didn’t want him to touch me without my underwear because the setting wasn’t right. The cold did not turn me on - it did the opposite. Thing is, we were outside and it was really, really cold. He (with my consent, of course) tried the whole rubbing my vagina through my underwear. It was exciting when he unzipped my jacket and touched my thighs and stuff. Hel wrote:Update: So he and I were out tonight, and he asked if I wanted to try the whole fingering thing. Though it was a (mostly) unsuccessful attempt at fingering, I’m still glad he and I are going to try again until we get it right, and that we can talk openly about sex and sexual stuff. Any tips on how I should touch him? I’ll ask him too, obviously, but I don’t have experience with this so I wondered if there were general tips to make it enjoyable for both of us. We decided to wait on that as well so we could both be more aroused - hopefully that will make the experience better. How can I be more turned on?Īlso, he asked me if I wanted to touch his penis and I wasn’t sure - I told him I hadn’t given it much thought. I was a bit disappointed because I wasn’t horny enough to really feel anything when he was touching me down there. ![]() ![]() I’m hoping that since it will be warmer (and we’ll have more time to be together) I’ll be able to get more aroused and wet. I really want to get aroused! We have the chance to be inside next weekend, so we’re planning on trying again then. Update: So he and I were out tonight, and he asked if I wanted to try the whole fingering thing. That could be around body image - like how much looking or not looking you are okay with, and what you need around that - it could be about what you want from communication and consenting - would you like him to ask you about what he's going to do in a very step-by-step way or more generally? What else do you want from communication? - it could be about things like what you do first: maybe you want to do something first like take a bath together, or cuddle. You might also think about what you want and need from your partner to feel comfortable with all of this, and talk about that together. Since you masturbate, you already have some information from that and what you do to relax on your own that you can bring to this: what do you do to set the stage for yourself, as it were? How do you chill out in your body and mind before and during masturbation? That's often pretty individual, and depends a lot on what you find helps you to relax in general, and then sexually, and with this particular partner. I want this to be a really good experience and I just would like some tips on how to accomplish that. I'm nervous because I've never done this type of thing before but I'm really excited as well because I really trust my boyfriend and we have really good, open communication. Is this a realistic expectation?) Also, will this mean I'm not a virgin anymore, if we finger/masturbate each other? I'm hoping with him it will feel good though because I'll be more aroused. Will it hurt a lot if he puts his fingers inside my vagina? (I masturbate a lot but I've only managed to go inside myself a few times and it's been uncomfortable. He and I are both virgins and we've never touched each other's genitals before. I just have a lot of questions about what to expect. I'm actually looking forward to it a lot. However, I do want him to do it in the near future, so we agreed to do it later this week. He asked if he could finger/masturbate me too, and I said I wasn't ready for that tonight, since it was a lot to process. It's been really great so far - the conversations about sex, touching nipples, etc. So my boyfriend and I have started to talk about sex and be more sexual around each other. ![]() ![]() jQuery flip book image gallery plugin : jFlip. ![]() Sound Manager can be used with the jQuery plugin to add audio to the book.

Obtained results revealed a better rate of wound closure, revascularization and cell proliferation in CD26 -/- mice, with enhanced local expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and vascular endothelial growth factor. The process of cutaneous wound healing was monitored on defined time schedule postwounding by macroscopic, microscopic, and biochemical analyses. Experimental wounds were made on the dorsal part of CD26 deficient (CD26 -/- ) and wild-type mice (C57BL/6). The aim of this study was to investigate the process of wound healing in conditions of CD26 deficiency in order to obtain better insights on the role of DPP IV/CD26 in cutaneous regeneration. However, despite its known enzymatic and immunomodulative functions, limited data characterize the role of DPP IV/CD26 in cutaneous wound healing mechanisms. It has potential influence on different processes crucial for wound healing, including cell adhesion, migration, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix degradation.

Patients with R- IVCD constitute a subgroup of patients with a long Q-LV interval. Mid-QRS notching in lateral leads strongly predicts a longer Q-LV interval in L- IVCD patients. Patients with LBBB have a very prolonged Q-LV interval. The R- IVCD group presented an unexpectedly longer Q-LV interval (127.0 ± 12.5 ms 13/15 patients had Q-LV >110 ms). Isolated mid-QRS notching/slurring predicted Q-LV interval >110 ms in 68% of patients. Patients with LBBB presented a long Q-LV interval (147.7 ± 14.6 ms, all exceeding cutoff value of 110 ms), whereas RBBB patients presented a very short Q-LV interval (75.2 ± 16.3 ms, all 150 ms and intrinsicoid deflection >60 ms. ![]() The Q-LV interval in the different groups and the relationship between ECG parameters and the maximum Q-LV interval were analyzed. The IVCD group was further subdivided into 81 patients with left (L)- IVCD and 15 patients with right (R)- IVCD (resembling RBBB, but without S wave in leads I and aVL). One hundred ninety-two consecutive patients undergoing CRT implantation were divided electrocardiographically into 3 groups: left bundle branch block (LBBB), right bundle branch block (RBBB), and nonspecific intraventricular conduction delay ( IVCD).
