![]() This changes the form of the email to suit the device that it is viewed on, in order to give the optimum experience on each particular device and best enable the content itself to become the message. ![]() With all of these different Internet enabled devices now in circulation, how can you ensure that your content is the message and not the medium… The most cutting-edge advancement in email, which is a direct result of this device/medium segmentation is ‘responsive design’. ![]() These days, you cannot assume that the recipient is going to be reading the email whilst they are sitting in front of a desktop PC like before. The uptake of devices such as smartphones and tablets have changed the way in which people read their emails. In the past few years the way in which emails are being consumed has changed. Therefore “the medium is the message.” How it relates to email marketing Suddenly interest in the story is piquing, and there is shock and belief rather than skepticism. An hour later, the exact same content that was posted on the blog post makes its way onto the BBC News website. Therefore “the medium is the message”.Īnother example may be that whispers of a corrupt politician start to surface… Someone writes a blog and posts this to their own website exposing this corruption, to which they receive a barrage of cynicism, skepticism and abuse. Your reaction to/perception of each of those messages will be different even though the content itself is exactly the same. Communication devices 2įor example, it’s your birthday and one of your friends posts on your Facebook wall saying “Happy birthday mate! Hope you have a great day!”, another of your friends sends you an SMS with the exact same message, and another sends you a birthday card again with the same message inside. “The medium is the message” is a phrase that puts forward the idea that the medium itself, be that text, audio, video, Facebook, newspapers, movies, telephones, iPads, television, blogs, chalkboards, walls for graffiti, or any other form of medium itself is the message, and not the content it carries. Where the phrase comes fromįor those unfamiliar with Marshall McLuhan, he was a Canadian philosopher of communication theory, not only famous for coining the phrases “The medium is the message” and “the global village”, but he also predicted the invention of the Internet nearly 30 years before it was created by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. This t-shirt suddenly took me back to my university days where we spent most of a term studying this exact phrase and the meaning behind it. ![]() It was white, with a pink printed photograph of Marshall McLuhan with the quote “The medium is the message” over the image. Recently I was walking through the North Laines in Brighton when a t-shirt in a shop window caught my eye. ![]() ![]() ![]() Our understanding of cardiac electrophysiology has significantly advanced with the use of pre-clinical animal models, which are amenable to pharmacological, physical or genetic manipulation for studying the consequences of ion channel abnormalities ( 16– 19), and have provided insight for translational application ( 14, 20– 25). A related condition, Bayes syndrome, involves inter-atrial block associated with AF ( 5– 15). Tachycardia complicates approximately 50% of SSS cases ( 2– 4). The association between sick sinus syndrome (SSS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) has been recognized for more than 5 decades since 1968 ( 1) with the first description of tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (TBS) reported 5 years later ( 2). The aim of this article is to review the different ion channels involved in TBS, examine the three-way relationship between ion channel dysfunction, tachycardia and bradycardia in TBS and to consider its current and future therapies. Alternatives to electronic pacemakers are gene-based bio-artificial sinoatrial node and cell-based bio-artificial pacemakers, which are promising techniques whose long-term safety and efficacy need to be established. The mainstay treatment option for SSS is pacemaker implantation, an effective approach, but has disadvantages such as infection, limited battery life, dislodgement of leads and catheters to be permanently implanted in situ. Dysfunction of ion channels responsible for initiation or conduction of cardiac action potentials may underlie both bradycardia and tachycardia bradycardia can also increase the risk of tachycardia, and vice versa. Techniques such as genetic screening and molecular diagnostics together with the use of pre-clinical models have elucidated the electrophysiological mechanisms of this condition. ![]() Tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome (TBS) is a complication of SSS characterized by alternating tachycardia and bradycardia. Symptoms associated with sick sinus syndrome may be aggravated by digoxin, verapamil, beta-blockers, sympatholytic agents such as clonidine and methyldopa, and anti-arrhythmic agents.Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) encompasses a group of disorders whereby the heart is unable to perform its pacemaker function, due to genetic and acquired causes.Other: digestive disturbances, dizziness, errors in judgment, facial flushing, fatigue, oliguria.Cardiovascular system: angina, arterial thromboemboli, cerebrovascular accident, congestive heart failure (dyspnoea), palpitations.Central nervous system: dementia, irritability, lethargy, light-headedness, confusion, memory loss, nocturnal wakefulness, syncope.Presentation may be with fatigue, dizziness, palpitations, and syncope or presyncope.Patients are often asymptomatic, or have subtle or nonspecific symptoms, such as fatigue.At least 50% of people with sick sinus syndrome develop alternating bradycardia and tachycardia, also known as tachy-brady syndrome.Abnormalities in sick sinus syndrome include episodes of sinus bradycardia, sinus arrest or exit block, combinations of sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodal conduction disturbances, and atrial tachyarrhythmias.The average age of a person with sick sinus syndrome is 68 years and it develops in 1 in 600 patients with cardiac disease aged over 65 years. Sick sinus syndrome is most common in the elderly, but can occur in all ages. Paediatric causes include congenital abnormalities and sinoatrial nodal artery deficiency. Sleep apnoea may be a contributing factor by causing reduced cardiac oxygenation. Drugs - eg, digoxin, calcium-channel blockers, beta-blockers, sympatholytic agents, anti-arrhythmic drugs.Hyperkalaemia, hypoxia, hypothermia, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism.Cardiomyopathies: ischaemia, myocardial infarction, myocarditis, pericarditis, rheumatic heart disease, surgical injury, arteritis.Friedreich's ataxia, muscular dystrophy.Familial sinoatrial node disorders: autosomal and recessive forms.Collagen vascular disease: amyloidosis, haemochromatosis, fatty replacement, sarcoidosis.Idiopathic degeneration of the sinus node is the most common cause of sick sinus syndrome.An intrinsic disease of the sinus node:. ![]() ![]() If you don’t let it finish and you’re on a slow connection, this process will kill your Internet performance forever.

Windows 11 is still very young so I encourage you to wait a few more months before you consider switching to it. The pause instruction at the end of the batch file is essential, otherwise the window will disappear immediately.Please remember that while I list many different applications within these updates, most people should ONLY install updates for a program if they already have a previous version of that program installed. certUtil -hashfile %1 SHA256 | findstr ^1 Just to make the output a little less cluttered, I prefer to pipe the output through findstr. I have another batch file called Calculate SHA256.cmd, which I prefer to use independently (you wouldn't want to calculate every type of hash from one batch file as this would take too long for very big files). Off course, you can change the name of the above file and choose to add other checksums, or even create multiple files each with a different type of hash. You will now be able to calculate SHA1 and MD5 checksums for any file from Explorer, just by right-clicking a file and choosing send to Calculate SHA1 and MD5.cmd Using explorer, open the "Send To" folder by typing this into the address bar shell:sendtoĬreate a batch file in this folder called something like Calculate SHA1 and MD5.cmd On Windows 10 (and probably previous versions) follow these steps: ![]() This is how I calculate checksums from Explorer using no third-party software.

Hash algorithms: MD2 MD4 MD5 SHA1 SHA256 SHA384 SHA512Ĭhecksum filepath ![]() Get-FileHash Ĭ:\>certutil -hashfile -v /? | findstr goriĬertUtil -hashfile InFile You can quickly check the available options like this: C:\>powershell -c "Get-FileHash -?" | findstr gori So specify your algorithm explicitly where needed. Note that the powershell Get-FileHash default is SHA256, while certutil still defaults to SHA1. I included an extra space character for backward-compatibility with older certutil versions, but it is optional. Why is that actual anti-hex regex so weird ? See this question to learn how regex ranges in findstr don't work as they should. C:\>CertUtil -hashfile "C:\windows\fonts\arial.ttf" | findstr -vrc:"" That should also make it safer for other locales and languages. To make this more resilient against breakage from yet another future change in certutil, we should look for lines with non-hex characters to filter out. The extraneous spaces are gone too - one less thing to worry about when scripting. The certutil output seems to have changed since Windows 8, so my old filter to isolate the hash doesn't work anymore. ![]() I am adding this here only because I didn't see any fully working powershell examples, ready for copy-paste: C:\> powershell "Get-FileHash %systemroot%\system32\csrss.exe" ![]() ![]() ![]() A library, a library branch, an exchange, a military store, a housing facility for officer and enlisted family units, and a commissary are also available on base.īecause of the sensitivity and depth of Florida’s reefs and poor visibility in the majority of the state’s coastal areas, there is no submarine tours available underwater in Florida.Īll military and official personnel at the Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay Gate are welcome to do so. There are several facilities on the base, one of which is the first full-service drive-through recycling center for the US Navy. ![]() The base houses tenant commands such as the Naval Submarine Support Center (NSSC), Strategic Weapons Facility Atlantic, Submarine Group 10, and the Refit Facility. The Emergency Management Office is in charge of responding to an emergency.įoreign vessels have two lay berths at the base, which is home to two explosive-handling wharves. Missiles and weapons systems are installed in the weapons facility to support ballistic missile submarine operations. The base’s primary functions are those of maintenance, overhaul, modernization, and repair of the submarine fleet. A new Columbia class submarine will be housed at the naval base as part of the facility’s renovation. At the base, there are over 15,000 people. A nuclear-powered submarine base is located at the base, where the US Navy Atlantic Fleet’s nuclear-powered submarines are stationed. In the southeast United States, there is a naval submarine base called Kings Bay. The base is not open to the public, but there are a few ways that you can tour the facility. It is located in Georgia on the Atlantic coast, and is the home port for the US Navy’s East Coast submarine fleet. The United States’ Kings Bay Submarine Base is one of the largest submarine bases in the world. ![]() ![]() ![]() They looked much better afterward.Īdding a soft vignette puts more emphasis on the subject. ![]() I then clicked on her face to adjust the white balance for her particular skin tones in this environment.

Silkies are considered a bantam breed in some countries, but this varies according to region and many breed standards class them officially as large fowl the bantam Silkie is actually a separate variety most of the time. They are often kept as ornamental fowl or pet chickens by backyard keepers, and are also commonly used to incubate and raise the offspring of other chickens and waterfowl like ducks, geese and game birds such as quail and pheasants. In the 21st century, Silkies are one of the most popular and ubiquitous ornamental breeds of chicken. Early Dutch breeders told buyers they were the offspring of chickens and rabbits, while sideshows promoted them as having actual mammalian fur. Once Silkies became more common in the West, many myths were perpetuated about them. The breed was recognized officially in North America with acceptance into the Standard of Perfection in 1874. Silkies most likely made their way to the West via the Silk Route and maritime trade. In it, he mentions "wool-bearing chickens" and ones "clothed with hair like that of a black cat". In 1598, Ulisse Aldrovandi, a writer and naturalist at the University of Bologna, Italy, published a comprehensive treatise on chickens which is still read and admired today. The earliest surviving Western written account of Silkies comes from Marco Polo, who wrote of a "furry" chicken in the 13th century during his travels in Asia. Other places in Southeast Asia have been named as possibilities, such as India and Java. It is unknown exactly where or when these fowl with their singular combination of attributes first appeared, but the most well documented point of origin is ancient China. Silky chickens have been bred to have many colors consisting of 1.Black 2.Blue 3.Buff 4.Partridge 5.Splash 6.White 7.Lavender 8.Paint 9.Porcelain Although they are fair layers themselves, laying only about three eggs a week, they are commonly used to hatch eggs from other breeds and bird species due to their broody nature. Hens are also exceptionally broody, and care for young well. In addition to their distinctive physical characteristics, Silkies are well known for their calm, friendly, temperament. They are often exhibited in poultry shows, and also appear in various colors. The breed has several other unusual qualities, such as black skin and bones, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot, whereas most chickens only have four. The Silkie (also known as the Silky or Chinese silk chicken) is a breed of chicken named for its atypically fluffy plumage, which is said to feel like silk and satin. The breed is renowned for its broodiness and mothering abilities. Silkie Varietiesīlack, blue, gold, white, partridge, triple laced partridge, triple laced silver partridge, grey, cuckoo, red and buff.A black Silkie hen and a non-Silkie chick. They have a lifespan of around 9 years and can be tamed and considered a real pet which makes them especially suitable for children. The black skinned and black boned silkie is considered a delicacy in China where they believe that the ground up bones have special healing properties. ![]() They are rather susceptible to scaly leg but are robust little chickens and can withstand the cold very well. They don\'t have waterproof feathers so they need to be kept in dry conditions but require little room so can be kept in smaller runs. They stop laying altogether during the summer months. They begin laying around Christmas when the hen will happily sit on a clutch of eggs and will still go broody even if her eggs are removed! Silkies are frequently used as foster mothers for other hen's eggs. They are calm, friendly, trusting and rather lively birds which are unable to fly so can be kept with very low fencing and they also do very little damage to the garden. Silkies do tend towards broodiness and make wonderful mothers despite being rather poor layers. The legs are purplish blue in color and they have a fifth toe. The comb is circular and described as a mulberry comb and the wattles are concave, semicircular and not particularly long. The beak is short and broad, the face smooth and the eyes black and bright. They have short, rather ragged looking tails and the head is short and neat with an upright and full crest. ![]() It is thought that they originated in India, China or Japan and they arrived in Europe around 200 years ago where they were sold as crosses between rabbits and chickens! They are a lightweight chicken with a broad, stout looking body which is covered in fine fluffy feathers. The origin of the Silkie hen is uncertain although they have been around for several hundred years. ![]() ![]() ![]() Most of these companies only cover therapies that include hypnosis. There are only a handful of insurance companies that include hypnosis per se in their health insurance policies. When estimating the price of a hypnotherapy session, don’t forget to check the rates in your area. For example, hypnotherapy in New York can be significantly more expensive than hypnotherapy in Ohio. As a result, hypnotherapy fees are also diverse. For instance, a certified hypnotherapist who is also a licensed psychologist may cost more than someone who has only trained as a hypnotherapist.Īside from the regulations varying from state to state, the different cost of living in cities is also a factor. Therapies that require several sessions usually offer this kind of deals.Ī hypnotherapist with superior training, several certifications and degrees, and years of experience typically charges higher fees compared with another hypnotherapist with fewer accomplishments. This kind of arrangement is proven to be effective in ensuring the client’s attendance for the subsequent sessions. This means that you will only have to pay once – upfront, of course – for all the sessions in that program. One-payment-packages are also common, such as those commonly offered in smoking cessation and weight loss programs. Those who provide other services like life coaching, Reiki sessions, and sound therapy also offer combination packages at reduced rates. They also charge lower prices for return clients. Hypnotherapists usually offer package deals at discounted prices wholesale sessions. On the other hand, some hypnotherapists offer discounts for the initial session to attract new clients. Hence, first sessions usually last longer, often adding 15 to 30 minutes to the usual session time. This is because the hypnotherapist must spend more time during the initial session to learn more about the client. ![]() Most hypnotherapy practices charge higher fees for new clients. In some cases, a hypnotherapist may charge a higher rate for prime time hours versus non-prime time hours. The longer a session lasts, the higher the hypnotic price. Time is the biggest factor in determining the answer to the question, “How much does hypnosis cost?” Hypnotherapists always base their fees on the session’s length. Like other services, there are also several factors that determine the price of hypnosis:
