![]() But anytime a new crop suddenly appears, you should pay attention, Patel and Ferrone say. Floaters often are caused by age-related changes in the ball of gel that fills the space between the lens near the front of your eye and the retina in the back. Floaters you’ve had for a while generally aren’t cause for concern. The specks tend to be more noticeable in bright light, especially when you look at a white background, says Philip Ferrone, president of the American Society of Retina Specialists and a professor of ophthalmology at Hofstra University. They “can look like spider webs, or bugs floating in your vision, or just like a little bit of a dark swirl,” Patel says. Lots of new floatersįloaters are specks that seem to appear before your eyes but really come from inside your eyes. The most important changes to watch for: 1. Retinal tears most often are triggered, in susceptible people, by what start out as normal changes in the aging eye. The most common kinds of detachments happen after a tear develops in the tissue-thin retina, allowing fluid to seep behind the retina and loosen it. Left untreated, a detachment can cause permanent vision loss or blindness in the affected eye. When the retina peels off the back of your eye - like wallpaper sloughing off the wall of a steamy bathroom - it can’t do its job. That makes it much less common than major causes of vision loss, such as glaucoma and cataracts. Over a lifetime, about 3 in 100 people will experience a detached retina. That’s because, “generally, the sooner the patient is diagnosed and treated, the better the outcome,” says Purnima Patel, an associate professor of ophthalmology at the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center and a spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. In fact, eye doctors say, there are clear warning signs that everyone should know. Your retina, the part of your eye that sends visual information to the brain, can be torn or even detached from its blood supply without causing you a bit of discomfort. But when something bad happens to one of your retinas, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eyes, you feel no pain. ![]() If you cut your finger or twist your ankle, it hurts.

![]() I can sort of taste the sweetness with a slight citrus tang to it, but it has two things working against it. This almost tastes like a normal energy drink at this point. It is like looking out a dirty window and seeing someone you might know since it checks all the boxes on the description of that person, but you’re just not sure it is them still. Thankfully, the middle part of the taste offers some sort of brevity from the medicine flavor. ![]() It actually tingles sort of like needles on my tongue. It is well masked by that medicine flavor. It is so sharp that it makes me completely forget about the cool carbonated water taste that is just sort of there. There’s also a sweetness looming over that medicine scent, but the two don’t really work well together.įirst sip my tongue is assaulted by that medicine taste from the B Vitamins. What makes me sure it isn’t is that there’s tiny bubbles from the carbonation which beer wouldn’t have. You might mistake this as beer from a distance actually. It looks a tad darker than your standard energy drink actually. You see there was a yellow 5 dye in this so maybe it is supposed to be orange flavored. Oh man, the warning is a bit grim! It says something along the lines of too much caffeine makes people irritable, overly anxious, have rapid heart beats, and “other health issues.” Oh boy! This sounds really safe! Taurine carries caffeine according to this little box below the ingredients. ![]() Well, the caffeine comes from added caffeine, white tea, and taurine I suppose. Well, way to think outside the box, Wired.Ĭarbonated water, high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, citric acid, taurine, potassium citrate, caffeine, sodium benzoate, caramel color, inositol, natrual and artificial flavor, potassium sorbate, niacinamide, white tea extract, guarana seed extract, d calcium pantothenate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, yellow 5, cyanocobalamin. Most focus on blends of B Vitamins but none really pump up the caffeine content this high. Thinking about that, this is sort of unique for energy drinks. B12 is still pretty high all things considered. Like I said, this is trying to focus more on caffeine rather than B Vitamins. Let’s see what makes this so caffeinated.ġ10 calories. So, let’s jump into the nutrition facts and ingredients. If this was orange and aqua maybe I’d dig it more, but it isn’t. Are they supposed to be wires? Orange, to me, just isn’t that appealing on its own. I’d say the sunburst is more appealing that matte orange with random black lines all over the can. The only thing that sort of steals its thunder are those Monster Rehab drinks that have a sort of sunburst design. It sort of stands out compared to the mostly black and blue energy drinks we see today. On the other side it says “massive caffeine massive energy.” I’d say so. I did compare the amount of caffeine in this to a Monster and it was roughly triple so I guess there is some merit to that. They are just making the “triple” act as a buzzword. Triple caffeine of what? The green Wired? Other energy drinks? It doesn’t really say. That might actually be a good thing that this doesn’t have any flavoring because the passion fruit one still goes down as one of the worst things I’ve ever tried for this Blog.Īt the top of the can it says “triple caffeine.” That sounds kind of daunting at first, but I thought about it and I’m wondering what it means. If this was supposed to have a flavor, it probably would have said something. Wired’s B Vitamin one tasted like a regular energy drink rather than anything green. Does that mean the flavor is going to be orange? I highly doubt it to be honest. I’m interested since too many B Vitamins leads to having some massive stomach aches later. This version of Wired wants to see how a can full of caffeine works for us. Monster and other energy drinks mostly get their energy stuff from B Vitamins and things like ginseng extract. For the anti energy drink people out there, this might seem worse than a Monster. ![]() For perspective, a single can of Monster only has 160 mg per can. This is Wired X 344 mg Caffeine.ģ44 milligrams of caffeine are in this can. This time it is their ultra caffeinated energy drink. Got another drink from the Wired (or is it Wired X) collection today. Bounty hunters’ salary and growth prospectĪccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, bounty hunters fall in the same category as private investigators or detectives. This research could involve tracking or tracing the fugitive’s phone call or online presence to decipher a target’s whereabouts. ![]() ![]() Perform researchĪnother task that bounty hunters do daily is to perform research. They can also travel to the victim’s home and speak with their family, friends, colleagues, or employers. Investigating fugitivesĪfter getting a new assignment, they investigate the fugitive and his family. They are individual contractors, so they must check multiple agencies, pay a fee and collect new assignments. Collecting new bountiesīounty hunters work with various bonds or agencies where they get new assignments. What are the daily tasks of a bounty hunter?Īs a bounty hunter, you have three major tasks to perform daily. Mostly, they get around 10 – 20 percent of the bail amount. When they find these fugitives, they return them to face justice, and in exchange, they get a commission off the bail. Many bounty hunters are former police officers or private investigators who decided to take on a different career path. They work to pursue and apprehend fugitives who skipped bail or failed to appear for court proceedings. They are also known as bail enforcement agents or fugitive recovery agents. Conclusion: Are bounty hunters real? What is a bounty hunter?Ī bounty hunter is a private agent who aids the criminal justice system. ![]() To automate the process, Pixlr utilizes AI tools.

We can use DXGI_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM, which is a 32-bit unsigned integer, taking 8 bits for Red, Green, Blue, and Alpha each. This is a DXGI_FORMAT enumerated type, describing the format of our display. This is a DXGI_RATIONAL type, describing the refresh rate in hertz. This is the Height of the resolution we are going to use. This is the Width of the resolution we are going to use. The DXGI_MODE_DESC structure:ĭXGI_MODE_SCANLINE_ORDER ScanlineOrdering Then we fill out our backbuffer description. Then we call ZeroMemory to make sure the object is completely cleaned out (in case we don't set all the parameters, and a parameter already has a value in it). We create a DXGI_MODE_DESC object called bufferDesc. The first thing we do in this function is describe our backbuffer. I have not included error checking in order to keep the code more clear and condensed, but I will explain at the end of this lesson how you can impliment error checking. Hr = d3d11Device->CreateRenderTargetView( BackBuffer, NULL, &renderTargetView ) ĭ3d11DevCon->OMSetRenderTargets( 1, &renderTargetView, NULL ) įirst we create an HRESULT object called hr to use for error checking.

This is our function which will initialize direct3d. MessageBox(0, L"Scene Initialization - Failed", MessageBox(0, L"Direct3D Initialization - Failed", If(!InitializeDirect3d11App(hInstance)) //Initialize Direct3D After that we will call our messageloop, and when our message loop is done, we release our objects, then end the program. In our winMain function, we will call InitializeDirect3d11App, then InitScene. Update scene is used to change our scene on a per-frame basis, then the draw scene is used to draw our scene to the screen, and is updated every frame too.īool InitializeDirect3d11App(HINSTANCE hInstance) The second one is to release the objects we don't need to prevent memory leaks. The first function is used to initialize direct3d. ID3D11RenderTargetView* renderTargetView The next 6 lines are used to change the color of the background, not important to the lesson. Then this texture is sent to the output merger stage of the pipeline as our render target, which will then be rendered to the screen. Basically, we do not write directly to the screen, but instead write to the render target view, which is a 2d texture (our backbuffer). ![]() So, after that, we have another interface object, which is the render target view. Its not a difficult idea to understand, so i hope you follow what i'm saying. This will take away from performance hits when loading models, creating objects, or anything like that. While the object or model is loading or creating, you can call the ID3D11DeviceContext interface object to continue rendering your scene. When you are loading something into memory, such as a model, or creating an object, you will call the ID3D11Device object. DirectX 11 has new multi-threading features, used to speed up the applications. I will better explain the reason behind splitting the ID3D11Device into two. We will use our ID3D11DeviceContext interface object to call all the rendering method, while ID3D11Device will be used to call the rest of the methods that don't have to do with rendering. The ID3D11Device interface was split into two, to help support the new multi-threading features. Now, the line after that, is a new interface that came with directx 11. The next is an Interface we will use to represent our hardware device (GPU). ![]() Otherwise, we will get scanlines, which is when we can see our program drawing our scene to the screen, from the top down usually. When we render our scene, we are rendering to the backbuffer, so by the time we present the back buffer to the monitor, it will be fully drawn. This is our SwapChain, which is used to change the backbuffer to the front buffer, and the front buffer to the back buffer. The first declaration is a COM Interface object. The semi-evergreen trident-shaped leaves are greyish-green-a lighter color that reflects lots of sunlight-and they curl up when there is little water. Because of its low water use, this plant has high drought tolerance and it does well in sandy soils. The antelope bitterbrush is a native plant species appearing throughout the western United States, including Grand Teton National Park (GTNP), at elevations between 4,000 ft and 8,500 ft. You may be more familiar with the human use of Kentucky bluegrass at picnic areas, baseball fields, orchards, campgrounds, lawns, and golf courses.Īntelope Bitterbrush (Purshia tridentate) When it does not get trimmed or grazed, small animals will use this grass as shelter. It is preferred grazing grass for many livestock animals like horses, cows, and sheep. Seeds are eaten by birds and rodents, and the shoots are eaten by rabbits, deer, elk, and other large mammals. The leaves grow up to a foot tall and are known for being soft and smooth. The grass is a cool-season perennial that begins growing in the spring, does not grow much in summer heat, and then continues growth into the fall. Like many grasses, Kentucky bluegrass provides some benefits to these ecosystems. As a result, Kentucky bluegrass has replaced sagebrush ecosystems in many areas throughout Jackson Hole and GTNP. The land that is now known as Grand Teton National Park (GTNP) has had its fair share of human disturbance, such as homesteading, large construction projects like dams, and farming, which changes the native ecosystem in those areas greatly. Beyond Spanish settlement, human disturbance, specifically related to land development, and this grass species share a rich history. This species-not the genre of music-is considered a somewhat native species to much of North America, but it was actually brought from Europe and Asia by the Spanish settlers. Kentucky bluegrass has a huge variety of uses for humans and animals in fact, we love this plant so much that we have changed entire ecosystems to have it. Since hummingbirds have the long, slim bill to reach the nectar, they are a perfect pollinator for these tubular-type flowers.Ĭlick here to learn about how the Indian Paintbrush got its name. Because of their interesting petal shape, ruby-throated hummingbirds are a great pollinator of the Indian Paintbrush in general, and other members of this genus. ![]() Like any other flowering plant, Indian Paintbrush rely on pollinators to help them reproduce year after year. Most of the time, they will parasitize the perennial grasses that accompany them (USFS), as well as sagebrush. When we think of plants, we know they photosynthesize and get their energy from the direct sunlight, but these plants are hemiparasites, meaning that they get some of their nutrients from other organisms as well. Coccinea refers to the red petals that resemble cup-like structures. Wyoming’s state flower is specifically Castilleja linariaefolia, but we will focus on the species coccinea. ![]() With over 200 species of Castilleja, this species of Indian Paintbrush is native to the United States. ![]() Antlers are for dog consumption only (not for human consumption).

Q: What size antler chew is most appropriate for my dog. ![]() By that time opp's team time was dwindling so I chated him up and then at 10 seconds. Given all the stalling and the way my P played all along, I've had enough, so I called him out as a cheating 3 accounts playing psycho, his response? are u maaaaaad? and kept typing it. opp's go higher then leads a 2, my p throws club on that and other opp puts the 3. ![]() play starts with my pard covering dimes, then switches to Hearts and leads J, I had 4,5,7. Now it's taking my P almost half a minute to lead a card. Then Fourth round I nil, I had a cake and no way to set the nil in an honest game. My pards takes with 10 club and returns another high dimes, I then go higher and return 3 clubs, Bang - nil busted. third round the opp's nil on 6 combined bid, My p leads high dimes and I go higher and return low clubs( I had ace,K,Q,2,3) clubs. Second round same thing happened only this time opp's closed the bid at 8, again My p plays high cards and opp's pick out. I Held my mid cards and ended up making our bid. round starts by my P playing high face and opp's instantly jumping it, second trick opp's play high and so is the third. first round was 9 bid with me closing the bid= I had a nil but also knew nil on an 8 bid was going to be tough to make, someone must been void a suit and chances are my p and I had the same suits so I bid one. So on last Friday night I started a 10 min game, Opps were very slow on each trick. I have seen a lot of high ranking guest account, anyone knows how to keep a guest account? how would I log back with it, etc etc. If your team fails to make your contract, subtract 10 points for every trick you bid from your total score.UPDATE: As of last night I am able to play as a guest, not sure if I can make a new account. For every trick you won above the total in your contract, add 1 point to your total. At the end of a round, if you and your partner managed to win at least the number of tricks in your contract, multiply the number of tricks in your contract by 10 points. Keep playing like this until everyone is out of cards. The winner of the trick collects the 4 cards, then plays the next leading suit. If the leading suit isn’t spades, and one or more spades have been played, the player with the highest spade wins the trick instead. Once all 4 players have gone, the player with the highest card in the suit that led wins the trick. ![]() If you don’t have a card in that suit, you can play any card from your hand. After the first player leads, the rest of the players take turns playing a card in the same suit if they have one. However, players can’t lead with spades until a spade has been used to trump a leading suit. That player can play a card in any suit from their hand. Once both teams have a contract, the round starts with the player to the left of the dealer. Let each player announce how many tricks they think they’ll win, which is called their bid. Keep in mind that spades trump every suit, regardless of what suit leads. To win a trick, you need to have the highest card in the suit that leads. Then, take a look at your cards and estimate how many tricks you think you can win that round. Have the dealer deal 13 cards to each player. Whoever draws the highest card deals first. To start the game, each player draws a card. To score points, try to win the number of tricks that you and your teammate bid at the beginning of the round. The goal of the game is to be the team that reaches 500 points first. Spades is a strategic card game that’s played with two teams of two. ![]() You may be ‘in the red’ for the first year as you strive to recoup the initial investment, but many fitness franchises are profitable from year 2.
