White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted about the shooting, saying: "The President and First Lady are thinking of those killed and injured in the shooting in Illinois last night. MK and I send our deepest condolences to everyone impacted by this senseless act of violence.ĭetectives are conducting interviews with all the victims and witnesses, and are reviewing camera footage from the area - including video from the cell phones of attendees. ![]() As I've said time and time again, gun violence is a public health emergency in this country and I remain committed to banning these dangerous weapons and making our state safer for everyone.Īs we continue to learn more, I want to thank our first responders who were on the scene and our doctors and nurses who are working to help the injured. Gathering for a holiday celebration should be a joyful occasion, not a time where gunfire erupts and families are forced to run for safety. I am closely monitoring the violent shooting that took place in Willowbrook last night. JB Pritzker also released a statement Sunday afternoon: I'm thankful for the first responders who attended to the victims last night and will continue to work with local authorities to stay updated on the situation. ![]() Change is needed – we cannot allow this to be the status quo. We live in a tragic reality where you cannot go to school, go to the grocery store, go to your place of worship, or celebrate holidays like the Fourth of July or Juneteenth without fear of being shot. I'm heartbroken to see the news from Willowbrook this morning. There is no word on a possible motive.Ĭongressman Sean Casten released a statement in response to the shooting: The ages and conditions of the victims are unknown.

7/27/2023 0 Comments 2010 ford edge limited interior![]() If you’re cornering aggressively, or even just driving around town, that extra foot support is welcome. Also, despite this being a Sport version, there’s no dead pedal (a place to rest your left foot when you’re driving). When you look closer, you realize the texture comes from the word “sport” being printed over and over again. Sport models give you a different center control panel that looks pretty cool from a distance - almost like carbon fiber. The interior is a mix of nice materials and good fit and finish. I do think the Edge might be a challenge for novice drivers, so parents with spawn of driving age should keep that in mind. Is this an end-of-the-world flaw? Nope, and I imagine if you have the car for a long time you get used to where the nose ends. Also, I had a very hard time telling exactly where the front of the car was - and that’s not just me, either all my passengers said the same thing. ![]() It takes a while to get used to parking in narrow spots. That steering made it easier to put the Edge exactly where I wanted to.īeing able to confidently place the Edge where you intend to is important, because it’s quite wide and the nose drops sharply away at the front. The Edge Sport’s steering felt just right, and appropriate for the type of vehicle it is. Others feel great on the highway, but are a chore to steer at low speeds. Some cars offer a lot of power-steering boost so they feel good in parking lots, but that makes them feel twitchy on the highway. It was easy to maneuver through parking lots, and at speed it had enough resistance to feel “solid” and inspire confidence. While I was disappointed with the rims and the lack of an engine upgrade, I did like the Edge Sport’s steering. It’s just that if I’m spending more than someone who bought a regular Edge - for one called “Sport” - I want a bit more power. It’s not that the Edge has a bad engine - it was great moving around town and at highway speeds, and it’s mated to a very good six-speed transmission. What’s not easy to reconcile is the engine. Perhaps if I had smooth roads around me this wouldn’t bother me so much, and one can swap out 22-inch wheels for something different, but that would be one less reason to buy the Sport in the first place. It also means that, on a rough road, you have a good chance of damaging the wheel (because there’s not a lot of tire rubber to cushion impacts), and you would likely spend a lot of money replacing a 22-inch rim. It’s large enough that your friends who don’t know anything about cars will laugh and say “Whoa, look at those wheels!” For those who don’t spend their time studying wheel sizes, let me offer this layman’s translation of how big a 22-inch rim is: It’s embarrassingly large. Of course, with 22-inch rims I really had to avoid potholes. Of course, that firmness is designed to provide better handling and I found the Edge Sport did seem to have marginally less body roll and marginally better handling than a standard Edge. I felt fine after long drives on rougher roads, but I was avoiding potholes the whole time. (People who prefer sport seats with a firmer cushion and bolstering that holds you in place will be very disappointed with the Edge Sport’s seats). I suspect that’s as much a result of the very cushy seats as it is the suspension tuning. I didn’t find it to be so harsh I was uncomfortable. What the sport suspension means in the real world is that the Edge Sport rides marginally harder than the regular Edge. In addition, there’s a body kit that includes a different front air dam, side skirts and lower section of the doors. Here’s what makes the Edge an Edge Sport: 22-inch rims, plus performance-tuned shock absorbers, springs and steering components. In the end, the Edge Sport offers better handling than a standard Edge, but costs more and has fewer comfort and convenience features standard. And because that tuning also makes the ride more firm, you’ll want those roads to be smooth ones.Ĭhicago offers a wide variety of roads, including twisty, straight, smooth and rough, so the Edge got quite the workout. Why? If your roads are primarily straight, the Edge Sport’s sport-tuned suspension won’t be as rewarding as it will be if you live in a place with twisty roads. It’s also the most expensive version of the Edge, and whether it’s worth the extra money to you will depend on whether you live in a place with smooth, twisty roads. The Sport version of the 2009 Ford Edge five-seat crossover offers a sport-tuned suspension, larger rims and different body styling, but the same engine as the regular model. To see what’s new for 2010, click here, or check out a side-by-side comparison of the two model years. Little of substance has changed with this year’s model. Editor’s note: This review was written in April 2009 about the 2009 Ford Edge. If there is relatively little or no downward slope, you have what is referred to as flat or squared shoulders. You can assess your shoulder slope profile by looking in a mirror or having a friend look at the angle of your shoulder from the base of your neck to your shoulder point.
7/27/2023 0 Comments Kinase consensus sequence![]() That said, each passing year allows more and more histidine kinase discoveries to creep into mammalian systems. Histidine kinases, for instance, are more prominent in bacteria and barely seen in humans. While these 3 phosphorylated amino acids exist in eukaryotic proteins, other amino acids can, less commonly, be phosphorylated. Those that are well-known to do so are termed dual-specificity kinases, or mixed kinases. Some kinases have the ability to phosphorylate both serine/threonine and tyrosine. ![]() As easy as it would be to say that these are strict barriers- especially in a “Basics” article- nothing in biosciences is ever so rigid. They are thus appropriately named the protein serine/threonine kinases (PSTKs) and protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). Kinases generally fall into two categories: they will either phosphorylate the smaller serine and/or threonine- usually interchangeably- or they will phosphorylate the bulkier aromatic tyrosine. Even so, only three amino acids are most commonly recognized as phosphorylatable: serine, threonine, and tyrosine. Out of those 20, several have the electron-rich functional groups containing oxygen, nitrogen, and even sulphur to which an inorganic phosphate group could be added. Three’s a crowdĢ0 amino acids are shared amongst all forms of life, used to build the proteins that allow the biochemistry to take place. We’ll talk about the amino acids phosphorylated by kinases, the families of protein kinases, and how they choose their targets. Now, we’ll return to the protein kinases to take a deeper look- though our “deeper” look will barely scratch the surface, as there are currently over 500 known kinases with several thousand targets. So far in our “Basics” series, we’ve taken an overview of the major players involved in protein phosphorylation, and some of the tools that one might use to study them. 7/27/2023 0 Comments Spike lee knicks shakes head gif![]() It was a very special moment in Knicks history, Lee said after, fittingly, purchasing the net from the game. Willis Reed coming back and the Garden went nuts. ![]() As a 13-year-old, he attended Game 7 of the 1970 NBA Finals. Answer: Spike has loved the Knicks since they sucked and were a joke of the league. They posted a since deleted tweet of Lee posing with Kevin Durant trolling the Knicks about the handshake between Dolan and Lee.Īnd, apparently, they’ve already made a call to Lee in trying to get him to change allegiances. Lee’s fandom dates back to 1960’s Brooklyn. The Nets are ready to swoop in as SOON as the Knicks hit send on that, by the way. They’re doing all the dirty macking possible right now in coaxing Lee to come sit courtside at Barclays and it’s hilarious. Yes, the Knicks probably break up through text.

Minor regression fixes from version 4.1.0.333 But why go through all of the trouble when there is CONVERTX. It will almost "not allow one to make a mistake!" Yes, of course, with a great deal of toiling, and use of several tools, a smooth operator might be able to create a comparable DVD. Then, there is the ease at which CX creates the DVD. This is just a sample of some of the operations that CX exercises. CX does this operation, on-its-own, like magic, behind the scenes. One would need to use properly: TMPGEncoder, as well as a sound editor such as Gold Wave, just to accomplish this task. For instance, the thing actually compares the audio and video streams many times per second and makes any necessary adjustments to keep both in sync.

Example: The large power connector on an Arduino, though not needed for most uses that I've had, does get in the way of that part of the protoboard right above it. You will notice things with placement that didn't popup earlier. Eagle is great for a preliminary overview, but physically seeing it in reality helps even further. Use the Eagle PCB design program to interactively place different parts on the board, and see if they will fit where you think they should go.ģ) Do several dry runs of placing parts. Headers just get in the way - so put them on dead last.Ģ) Download the Eagle design files first instead. That's because often when one is mounting parts, you need to be able to come in from various sides to put soldering iron to solder, wire, and part. As a matter of fact, soldering the headers on is the absolute last thing you want to do. Let me outline my suggestions:ġ) Don't put it together when you first get it. Otherwise, you are likely to make mistakes. That was time well spent, and I would recommend others do the same. Since I have to be quite careful with the very limited funds that I can spend on my 'toys', I spent a couple of months planning out how to use this kit before I even got it. It's extremely flexible, as I discovered when I was outlining how to use it. First of all, let me state that it's obvious to me that a lot of thought went into designing this product. The SparkFun ProtoShield Kit does not come pre-assembled. Note: Since this product is a kit, assembly and a basic knowledge of soldering will be required. On this test area you will find soldering areas for the two yellow 3mm LEDs (as well as pins to control and power them), two 330 Ohm resistors, a 10K Ohm resistor, and a pushbutton. We have also moved the prototype testing components (those used to make sure your circuit works effectively) off of the "mainland" of the shield and onto a ProtoSnap styled, removable PCB. For those that prefer the standard prototyping pads, we left the other side (near the BlueSMiRF and Serial UART ports) as is. Once you add a component, simply add a solder jumper between holes to make a connection. On the underside of the shield you will be able to see open jumper pads between each through hole to make a connection like a breadboard. One of our favorite features with this version of the ProtoShield Kit is the solderable-like breadboard prototyping area! Half of this area was designed with a breadboard in mind. While you can probably do the same with breakout boards, shields will allow you to do it easier and more efficiently.The SparkFun ProtoShield Kit lets you customize your own Arduino shield using whatever circuit you can come up with and then test it to make sure everything is working the way it should! The SparkFun ProtoShield Kit is based off the Arduino R3’s footprint that allows you to easily incorporate it with favorite Arduino-based device. Since they stay in place, they are more appropriate for finished projects, especially if you plan on moving them often.Īnother benefit of Arduino shields is that they are built for more complex functions, like GPS and cellular communication systems. They require much less wiring and have fixed functionality for their connections. Shields are essentially building blocks for your projects. In comparison, a breakout board can easily be moved. A shield won’t budge much once it’s connected. There’s a reason for that, and it’s because of the connectivity. An Arduino shield will be roughly the same size as the Arduino, while a breakout board is usually smaller. The first thing you’ll undoubtedly notice is the size. While they might do similar things, there are significant differences between them. If you already know something about breakout boards , you might wonder why there are both shields and breakout boards. It is taller than headers and thus blocks another shield from fitting properly. In other words, it can stack onto others, but won’t allow others to stack onto it.īig and bulky components are also a dead giveaway that the shield doesn’t allow stacking. If there are none, or they don’t seem aligned correctly, that shield likely doesn’t allow stacking. Keep in mind that not all shields are stackable. This allows you to add even more functionality to your Arduino. If everything is inserted correctly, the shield won’t budge when moved.Īs mentioned before, shields can attach or stack on one another. When attaching a shield to an Arduino board, you will plug shield pins into Arduino’s headers. You plug components and wires in them.Īrduino shields will have long pointy metal pieces on the bottom called pins. When looking at the sides of an Arduino board, you will see two black plastic rows with holes on top. 7/26/2023 0 Comments Best vaginal itch cream cvsThe lack of friction can make it more difficult for these men to maintain an erection. Sometimes if male partners have erectile dysfunction, silicone lubricants can be too slick. Many of the lubricants with additives that try to “stimulate or arouse,” can cause burning discomfort, so I would encourage you to avoid those products, especially if you are already dealing with vaginal discomfort. Some brands are Astroglide, K-Y jelly and Sliquid, and there are many others. I suggest glycerine-free and paraben-free options, while avoiding ones that are sticky. Lubricants can be water based, silicone based or oil based. However, moisturizers and lubricants can still be very helpful and are worth trying. Estrogen therapy and other Food and Drug Administration-approved medications can get at the root cause of the problem much more effectively. It’s unlikely that either of these products change the underlying cause of your symptoms, particularly the cellular changes in the vaginal tissue. Moisturizer or lubricant should be clearly written on the package. ![]() With these products being so different, it’s important to read labels and know which one you are picking up. Improved moisture lessens discomfort, similar to using moisturizers on your face or legs. Over-the-counter moisturizers can be inserted into the vagina to add a protective barrier, coating the vulnerable lining. Vaginal moisturizers are used regularly over time, not specifically in the moment of a sexual encounter. Lubricants are used when you need them - at the time of a sexual encounter. A main reason to use these products is to make sex more comfortable, but they can also assist with arousal and pleasure. Lubricants assist with high-friction sexual activity and can lessen pain or discomfort. Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another. If you’re experiencing vaginal dryness for any of these reasons, a lubricant or moisturizer (or both!) may help. ![]() See the Women’s HealthSource post on “Sexual function after cancer.” Especially if you’ve had chemotherapy or radiation, your vaginal tissue may have been affected. While it’s not quite “use it or lose it,” it’s important to listen to your body and be patient as the tissue responds to being stretched. If it’s been a while since you’ve had sex, your tissue will need time to respond and become more elastic. If you’re looking for a reason to quit, this just might be it! While you’re breastfeeding, you may need to use lubricants because of the hormonal changes affecting your vaginal lining. Other risk factors for vaginal dryness include: With a change or loss of estrogen, surface (mucosal) cells change, often described as “thinning,” but this can be a reduced number of cells, loss of cell lubrication and decreased vaginal elasticity. Menopause is a major culprit behind vaginal dryness for many women. ![]() But they’re used in different ways and serve different purposes. What’s the difference between a vaginal lubricant and a moisturizer? Do I need both? Are certain types or brands better than others?īoth lubricants and moisturizers can help women dealing with vaginal dryness, which can make sex painful. Walk down the feminine products aisle of your local pharmacy or open the sexual health tab while online shopping and you’ll find a dizzying array of products with varying marketing claims. ![]() If you’re using something on your body - and particularly in your vagina - you should be comfortable with the product and know its ingredients.īut choosing the right product can be complicated and confusing. As a women’s health specialist at Mayo Clinic, I’m baffled when I ask, “What lubricant do you use?” and the woman replies, “I don’t know, my husband buys it.” 7/26/2023 0 Comments Going medieval mining![]() Also, when you store any items underground they will even last longer and their expiration duration will become longer.
