Most cases of APS occur in people with no family history of the disorder, however there are rare cases of APS clustering in a family. Phospholipids are a type of fat found in all living cells, including blood cells and the lining of blood vessels. APS occurs when your body's immune system makes antibodies that attack phospholipids. Signs and symptoms vary, but may include blood clots, miscarriage, rash, chronic headaches, dementia, and seizures. Rapid heart rate and exercise intolerance are among the most common lingering symptoms, she said.Įach re-infection brings a risk of long Covid, McComsey added, so she doesn't think people should ignore the current rise in infections.Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disorder. Researchers don’t know if milder disease contributed to that trend, or if population immunity was largely responsible.īut McComsey - a principal investigator for the National Institutes of Health’s RECOVER Initiative, which studies long Covid - said she's still seeing new cases of long Covid. ![]() ![]() ![]() What does long Covid look like now?Ī study published this month found that long Covid rates declined once omicron became the dominant variant. Instead, he said, the typical Covid patients hospitalized in Burbank are older and suffering dehydration, loss of appetite, weakness or fatigue. "That’s why the priority should be to vaccinate that particular group of patients with the fall booster," he said.ĭaignault said emergency rooms generally aren’t seeing the shortness of breath, low oxygen rates or viral pneumonia that led some patients to be put on oxygen tubes or ventilators in the past. Older people in particular may have waning immunity if they haven’t been infected or vaccinated recently, Daignault said. Most people hospitalized for Covid since January had not received a bivalent booster, according to the CDC. Hospitalization rates are highest among people ages 75 and up, followed by babies under 6 months and adults ages 65 to 74. is recording around 19,000 Covid hospitalizations per week, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The weekly average rose around 80% from early August to the beginning of September. Though cases of BA.2.86 are rising in the U.S., it isn’t among the top variants circulating.īarouch said the new booster shots should be effective against those three strains and others. Together, those two appear to be driving an uptick in Covid infections, though scientists are also watching BA.2.86, a variant with a large number of mutations that looks significantly different from previous versions of omicron. The most prevalent subvariant circulating now is EG.5, followed by a strain called FL.1.5.1. Other doctors think that omicron itself also changed the presentation of Covid symptoms, since some studies have shown that early versions of it weren’t as good as previous variants at infecting the lungs. ![]() It’s because the immune responses are higher," Barouch said. That’s not because the variants are less robust. "Overall, the severity of Covid is much lower than it was a year ago and two years ago. Dan Barouch, director of the Center for Virology and Vaccine Research at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, attributed the mild symptoms that doctors are seeing to immunity from vaccines and previous infections. Michael Daignault, an emergency physician at Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Burbank, California. "Especially since July, when this recent mini-surge started, younger people that have upper respiratory symptoms - cough, runny nose, sore throat, fever and chills - 99% of the time they go home with supportive care," said Dr. Eiting said he's not seeing a lot of diarrhea lately, either - a more common symptom in the past.įor the most part, the doctors said, few patients require hospitalization - even those who show up at emergency rooms - and many recover without needing the antiviral pill Paxlovid or other treatment.

The moment my partner and I realize that sex is on the menu for the night, I run to the closet to fetch this Wedge. I really get to lie back, all my body weight dispersed onto the wedge and the bed, and enjoy.Īnother thing I’ve noticed is that it’s seriously fun to use this in bed. In each of these positions, I realized the simple truth that sex using the Wedge makes my life a bit easier. My partner and I tried the remaining 4 recommended positions over the next several sex encounters. In other words, penetration with the wedge feels deeper and more pleasurable, as if us females were always meant to have sex with our bums raised several inches up in the air. It feels as if my partner is reaching places he usually doesn’t in missionary position. With my hips raised 7 inches up in the air, vaginal penetration feels more intense. Instead of holding up my body weight by my arms, I get to lie down on my front and enjoy. In plain speech, we tried Wedge-style missionary and doggy.ĭoggy style feels no different than usual asides from more relaxing. During the first go, we tried some of the recommended positions (see picture below), such as the Down Low and the Grab and Go. I didn’t have huge expectations leading up to its arrival, but when I finally had the Liberator Wedge on my bed with my partner in sight, I was really eager to try it out. After trying it out for myself, I’d actually consider the $90 to be money well-spent. After all, isn’t it just a pillow? But no. ![]() At $90, it definitely seems like an expensive object. I don’t usually comment on pricing, but the Wedge is pricey. This number sounded small to me, and I was fairly skeptical that sex would actually feel any different. ![]() This means that your bum, vagina, hips, etc will be 7 inches in the air higher than it usually is. The Liberator Wedge is 2 feet across and 7 inches high, angled upwards at 27 degrees. The black liner is really slippery, and my hips were constantly sliding down the wedge. We’ve tried using it without the microfiber cover, but I found that difficult. ![]() My skin doesn’t slide around on it either, which is useful. I was worried that I’d overheat against it and sweat profusely, but that hasn’t happened. I find the microfiber cover to be very comfortable against bare skin. The red wedge used in the promotional shots is a deep, crimson red, but the red wedge that you get is a loud fire-engine shade. My one complaint about the cover is that it is much brighter than I was expecting. This microfiber layer can be thrown in the wash as well. You can also buy additional ones separately if you can’t decide on just one. The liner, being slippery, lets you easily get the microfiber cover on and off easily.įor the microfiber cover, I chose red (I’m Miss Ruby, after all), but there are several other colours. If you do get a mess on this liner, it can be washed in a cold cycle and tumble-dried on low. This liner is meant to stay on at all times to protect the foam core from lubricants and other liquids. The Liberator Wedge comes covered in a moist-resistant black liner. I’m a size 14, so I was considering the plus-size wedge, but I found the regular-sized wedge to fit me perfectly. There is also a plus-size version of the wedge. The foam has the perfect density for keeping you up in the air while still being cushiony enough to be comfortable. The Liberator Wedge itself is a white foam brick shaped into a triangle. As you can see, the wedge is about twice the size of the compression sack, and it isn’t possible to get the wedge back in the compression sack once it is out. This reduces shipping costs and makes the package less conspicuous. Before I took the wedge out of the bag, I thought that was how tiny the wedge was, but what I didn’t realize was that 90% of the air had been removed prior to shipping so that it could be compressed into such a tiny box. Within the box, there are three items: an instruction poster, the cover in the colour you chose, and the Wedge in a compression bag. ![]() So, for anyone running a 64-bit system, Revo is pretty much a non-starterĬonclusions: For 32-bit systems: Either will do a great job but Revo still holds the upper hand, just.

If this is not what weĪre after, we can convert the matrix into a vector using the (:) operator, pass it to the function, and reshape the outputīack into the original size with the reshape() function. Some functions, like mvnpdf() for example, interpret an n-by-d matrix, not as n-times-d elements but as n, d-dimensional vectors. Non-vectorized version tic % time the codeīnv = zeros(size(A)) % We preallocate to level the playing field for i=1:size(A,1) Let us compare this vectorized version to calling log on each element.Ī = rand(200,200) % We will use this as our data ![]() For example, to take the log of every number in an array A, we simply executeī = log(A). Most functions in Matlab are already vectorized. Using built-in functions which are vectorized We give various examples below which should give you some ThisĬan make your code much faster and is an essential skill to learn. Vectorization is the process of making your code work on array-structured data in parallel, rather than using for-loops. The larger the matrices, the more importantī = zeros(30000,1) % Preallocate B with the zeros command. Timing the two loops with the tic() and toc() commands we see that preallocating in this case speeds up the code by about 30 times. Below we see two simple loops in which we store the numbers 1 to 30 000. ![]() The zeros() command is the most common way to do this. It can therefore significantly speed up yourĬode by preallocating a chunk of memory before entering into a loop. This process may have to be repeated over and over again causing huge delays. When the size of a matrix changes, Matlab, if it has not preallocatedĮnough space, must find a new chunk of memory large enough and copy the matrix over. Matlab stores matrices in contiguous blocks of memory. W = waitbar(i/500,w,) % update the wait bar each iteration end w = waitbar(0, 'My Progress Bar') % create a new waitbar, w with 0% progress for i=1:500 We can print a graphical bar that indicates how long a certain operation has taken/ will take, as in this example. Has written some flop counting routines as part of his lightspeed package. Matlab used to have a flops command, but it was removed. A more reliable method is the timeit function, which calls tic/toc multiple times and averages. The simplest way to time code is to call tic before your code starts and toc afterwards. The profiler tells you where all the time is being spent, but maybe you just want to know how much time your code is taking. Once profiling is on, execute your code, and then type profile viewer to see the report. ![]() You can turn on profiling with the profile on command and turn it off again with profile off. On a function name to bring up its sourcecode. This is really the statistic you should pay attention to.

Matlab has an excellent profiler, which can tell you how much time your code spends in each one of its functions. Remember that correctness is more important than speed! The usual pattern is that 80% of the the time is spend in 20% of the code, so you can focus your efforts accordingly. A slightly more complex example of vectorizationīefore spending a lot of time optimizing your code, you should first identify the key bottlenecks using the profiler.Using built-in functions which are vectorized.

The removal of the title appears to be the latest example of the video game industry's continuing lack of interest in the Apple TV, which ships with a touch-based remote rather than a dedicated game controller like typical game consoles do. The game was officially launched two months later for $19.99, but despite the Minecraft franchise continuing to thrive on other platforms, it looks like the Apple TV version just didn't take off as Apple and developer Mojang had hoped. "You can build new worlds on your Apple TV, and play with your friends using iPhones and iPads," said CEO Tim Cook. The Apple TV Edition of the wildly popular multi-platform construction game was announced at Apple's October 2016 keynote, where its potential for cross-platform play was enthusiastically promoted.

Sloth, related to slow, literally means "laziness," and their common names in several other languages (e.g. ![]() Sloths are so named because of their very low metabolism and deliberate movements. Members of an endemic radiation of Caribbean sloths also formerly lived in the Greater Antilles but became extinct after humans settled the archipelago in the mid-Holocene, around 6,000 years ago. The extinction correlates in time with the arrival of humans, but climate change has also been suggested to have contributed. However, they became extinct during the Quaternary extinction event around 12,000 years ago, along with most large bodied animals in the New World. Besides the extant species, many species of ground sloths ranging up to the size of elephants (like Megatherium) inhabited both North and South America during the Pleistocene Epoch. The two groups of sloths are from different, distantly related families, and are thought to have evolved their morphology via parallel evolution from terrestrial ancestors. Despite this traditional naming, all sloths have three toes on each rear limb- although two-toed sloths have only two digits on each forelimb. ![]() There are six extant sloth species in two genera – Bradypus (three–toed sloths) and Choloepus (two–toed sloths). Sloths are considered to be most closely related to anteaters, together making up the xenarthran order Pilosa. Noted for their slowness of movement, tree sloths spend most of their lives hanging upside down in the trees of the tropical rainforests of South America and Central America. Sloths are a Neotropical group of xenarthran mammals constituting the suborder Folivora, including the extant arboreal tree sloths and extinct terrestrial ground sloths.

After this dispute, the name was changed to Tomorrowland Jets. The name Astro Jets was changed in 1964 when United Airlines, as a new park sponsor (sponsoring " The Enchanted Tiki Room"), contended the name was free advertising for American Airlines' coast-to-coast Astrojet service. The attraction stood between the Submarine Voyage and Rocket to the Moon. The "jets" made a 50-foot circle around a large red-checkered rocket and guests were able to climb upwards of 36 feet in their ride vehicles from the ground level they were boarded at. The attraction was made by Klaus Company Bavaria and similar to several versions found in traveling carnivals.
