Javanese cats are another hypoallergenic cat breed with a longer coat. Javanese Photo credit: Adobe/Heidi Bollich So, if you’re looking for a low-maintenance pet, they might not be the best choice. A Cornish Rex cat is high-energy and requires a lot of playtime and exercise, plus regular grooming sessions to keep their curly coat healthy. They’re known for loving attention and being great with kids. Like the Devon Rex, the curly hair and affectionate personality of Cornish Rex cats make them popular pets. So, if you are away from home for long periods of time, the Devon Rex may not be the best breed for you. This breed is affectionate and intelligent, but they need a lot of attention from their family. With short, curly hair, the Devon Rex is another one of the best cats for allergies. But that lack of hair doesn’t mean they don’t need to be groomed-for their skin to remain healthy and free of oil, they need regular maintenance. Sphynx cats can be completely bald or have a thin layer of peach fuzz, but all produce fewer allergens than many furry breeds.

These calm kitties can be shy around strangers and may take some time to warm up to new people. Hypoallergenic Russian Blue cats have an affectionate personality and a quiet nature that make them popular pets. Russian Blue Photo credit: iStock/Drazen_ But these energetic and intelligent cats can be a handful for the unsuspecting pet parent, and some cities have regulations-or full-on bans-in place against them. Their gorgeous, spotted short coat comes from their Asian leopard cat ancestors, giving them a wild appearance that makes them stand out. Bengal Photo credit: Adobe/inguskīengal cats are a unique hypoallergenic breed. However, they can be demanding in terms of attention and aren’t a good fit for families that are often away from home. Known for their vocal nature and adoration for their pet parents, Siamese cats have a lot to offer. This means they don’t produce as many allergens as some other breeds. ![]() While there are zero non-shedding cats, this blue-eyed feline has a short coat that doesn’t shed heavily. ![]() Siamese Photo credit: Adobe/VesnaĪnother hypoallergenic cat is the Siamese. Along with being a good cat for allergies, Siberians are friendly, affectionate, and make great family pets-if you can keep up with their regular grooming needs. Despite having thick, long hair, they produce less allergen-causing proteins than many other cats. Siberians are a popular hypoallergenic breed. Keep in mind that, before bringing home a “hypoallergenic” cat, spend time with the breed to determine how your allergies react. Here are some of the most common cat breeds for people with allergies. There is no such thing as a completely hypoallergenic cat, but certain breeds might be a better fit for some people who sneeze and itch around kitties. While all cats produce allergens in their fur, saliva, and urine, some breeds (commonly called “hypoallergenic cats”) produce lower levels of the proteins that trigger allergies. ![]() That said, there are some “hypoallergenic” cats that can be a good fit for your allergies. But if you’re allergic, opening your house to a feline friend can be … complicated.

![]() Time Out was an experiment by the Quartet in odd rhythms, and some of the other melodies have had a surprising and diverse history. Sony Music supplied the images for use in our SACD reissue, and gave us permission to use them in our LP reissue as well. Time Out's booklet also features fantastic photos shot during the recording session at Columbia's famous 30th Street Studios. And the accompanying booklet is definitive in its own right, giving listeners a glimpse inside the creative process via a liner written by Dave Brubeck and a note from "Take Five," composer and the quartet's alto saxophonist, Paul Desmond. Why definitive? The Quartet's signature sound paired with Multichannel SACD technology goes together beautifully. And now, Analogue Productions brings you the definitive copy, on Hybrid Multichannel SACD, as well as on 200-gram vinyl pressed at Quality Record Pressings (Acoustic Sounds' own industry-lauded LP manufacturer). Including the monster hit "Take Five," the Brubeck Quartet's Time Out is a jazz and audiophile classic. The piece is famous for its distinctive, catchy saxophone melody, as well as its use of unusual 5/4 time - so distinctive, it's a rare jazz track that became a pop hit. Virtually all serious and even casual music lovers ought to be familiar with, or at least are likely to have heard The Dave Brubeck Quartet, even without realizing it - for the quartet's best-known hit "Take Five" has graced the soundtracks of multiple films, including "Mighty Aphrodite," "Pleasantville" and "Constantine." Remastered by Bernie Grundman authored for SACD by Gus Skinas on the SONOMA system. SACD booklet includes rare photos from the Columbia Studios recording session, as well as an additional liner written by pianist Brubeck himself.

![]() Thanks for spreading the word about this very powerful, but easy to use tool. The only problem with TW is that some voice actors report "feeling guilty" because it seems too easy. And, nothing says "I am a former radio announcer" than using Adobe Audition! Both Digi and Adobe are huge resource hogs that make everything unnecessarily complicated. Pro Tools is just the wrong tool for the job. If Twisted Wave went out of production, I would get out of the business. One of the most important ways TW makes my workflow efficient is with the customizable keyboard shortcuts, which I have mapped to single keys. This plug-in is moderately priced ($249) and may be the only one you need. There are a bunch of them that are installed with iTunes.īut for folks just getting to know how plugins work, may I suggest a wonderful all -in-one plugin designed for voice tracks: I personally refuse to buy any plugins that require use of a hardware "dongle". ![]() When you don’t need ProTools or Logic, but you want something more powerful than Audacity, TwistedWave fits the bill.

"I'm like, did you know our lead animator is a woman? Then he's like, that's amazing. It's just a thing they happen to be."īartholow said a gamer approached him at game show Gamescom earlier this year just to tell him Skullgirls was sexist. None of the characters use their sexuality in any aggressive way. There was a very conscious decision not to do things like that. We don't have anyone like Cammy, who wraps her legs around your head and then beats you senseless with her Kegel muscles - or whatever is going on in that Cammy Super. "Our characters are strong, powerful women who happen to be attractive. It's a weird chivalry intent thing that's sort of misplaced and maybe shallow, even, because they see breasts and panty flashes and they go, that's sexist, but I've yet to meet a woman who has complained about it. All the people who seem bothered by it are guys. "She intentionally lavishes attention on the breasts herself because she thinks it's cool. "Our lead animator is a woman," Bartholow told Eurogamer. Some critics have labelled Skullgirls' art style gimmicky and dismissed it as anime fan service because of the inclusion of "panty flashes" and huge breasts.
![]() As for keeping it in the house, I personally don't think there's an issue with it, as the filter won't leak any asbestos unless it's opened, or if you drop it and explodes open, or if it's cut open. Several minutes aren't going to kill you, don't worry you'll live. The GP-5 filter ALSO contains charcoal along with the asbestos. Four other laboratories confirmed their findings. In 2013 Dixon Information (as asbestos lab in Salt Lake City, Utah) discovered that the cotton layer of the filter was fused with ~7.5% asbestos. As for the GP-5 filter, I seriously wouldn't trust it. ![]() Even if it's leaking, wearing it for 15 minutes isn't going to instantaneously give you Mesothelioma. If only several particles fall out, then it's beginning to leak. If tons of tiny black particles dump out then it's leaking. To tell if they're leaking, what you do is get a piece of paper and shake the filter over the paper. Activated charcoal ( that contain chromium) are safe to breath through, as long as they're not leaking. Nearly all filters DO contain activated charcoal (some are fiberglass) and the ones that do contain charcoal almost always contain chromium, which is not nearly as dangerous as asbestos. ![]() It was undeniably used in many older filters, especially pre-1970, although it also depends on the region of manufacture, as different countries have different laws regulating the use of asbestos.

The episode begins with Apple Bloom walking through the busy Ponyville marketplace, where she meets a friendly elderly pony named Grand Pear selling pear jam. This episode aired on Jon Boomerang in Australia, forty-five days ahead of its scheduled premiere on Discovery Family.Īccording to Michael Vogel, the idea for the feud between the Apple and Pear families originated from a long-running inside joke among the show staff that Applejack should have a nemesis named "Pear Steve".

In 2017, this song was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Best Original Song, but it lost to "She's Not Very Nice" from The 7D. The song was adapted into chapter 2 of the Legend of Everfree novelization, published twenty-five days before the movie's premiere, but features different lyrics. In the Legend of Everfree DVD/Blu-ray audio commentary, songwriter Daniel Ingram states that he was inspired by Mumford & Sons when writing and composing this song.

Less severe burns include first and second degree.įirst-degree (superficial) burn: This mild burn appears dry, red and swollen, affecting only the top layer of skin (epidermis). While these characteristics are a good guide to navigating your response, you should never self-diagnose a burn wound without following up with a doctor or burn specialist. Often, you can tell the burn wound’s severity by the injury’s characteristics. What are the characteristics of a full-thickness burn? They are known to affect the nerves and are noticeably less painful or painless compared to first and second-degree burns. These burn wounds are considered medical emergencies and typically will not heal without medical intervention. What does “full-thickness burn wound” mean?Ī full-thickness burn, also known as a third-degree burn, is a severe burn injury that affects both layers of skin, underlying fatty tissue, nerves and tendons. A third-degree burn affects all layers of skin as well as the underlying tissue and fascia, making it a full-thickness burn. Mild or first-degree burns are considered superficial burns because they only affect the top layer of skin known as the epidermis, while second-degree burns are more profound, affecting the top and second layer of skin (the dermis). These alternate terminologies are used to describe the depth of the burn injuries.

"Vlambeer: Just making games is the key to becoming successful". Serious Sam: The Random Encounter (2011).Ismail plans to continue to work on supporting advocacy for diversity within the video game industry while Nijman expects to continue to help develop smaller games similar to Minit with other teams. They had plans to release a final game, Ultrabugs, which as of July 2023 has yet to be released. Ismail and Nijman had made the decision a few weeks prior, having come to recognize they were moving in separate directions within the video game industry since 2016. On 1 September 2020, the tenth anniversary of the studio's formation, Vlambeer announced that the studio would come to a close. Ismail received the Ambassador Award at the March 2018 Game Developers Choice Awards for his support of independent video game development through both Vlambeer and other activities. Bringing back arcade games since 1896, an art and history book of the company written by Arjan Terpstra and published by Cook & Becker. On 8 August 2016, Vlambeer announced 120 Years Of Vlambeer And Friends. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, Linux, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, receiving positive reviews from users. On 5 December 2015, Vlambeer released Nuclear Throne, a top-down shooter roguelike which had been in Steam's early access program since 2013. In 2015, they experimented with live streaming their development process and had at one point over 12,000 paid subscriptions to their Twitch channel. On 14 March 2013, Vlambeer released Ridiculous Fishing on iOS after resuming its development. Its success prevented the studio from going out of business due to the financial ramifications of the decreased motivation caused by the cloning incident. On 19 December 2012, Vlambeer released the iOS version of Super Crate Box. On 2 December 2012, Vlambeer announced a sequel to Luftrauser called Luftrausers. At the conference where the award ceremony was held, Vlambeer released Yeti Hunter. Ridiculous Fishing was nominated for the 2012 Independent Games Festival "Best Mobile" award. In February 2012, Vlambeer released Gun Godz, a first-person shooter inspired by hip-hop, in collaboration with Brandon Boyer's Venus Patrol. In November 2013, the browser game Vlambeer Clone Tycoon was launched to provide a satirical comment on the issue of Vlambeer's cloning ordeals. The term "Vlambeer'd" was introduced by several media outlets. This generated discussion about the cloning of video games and led Vlambeer to be somewhat of an icon on the topic. Development was halted after a San Francisco–based studio released a clone of Radical Fishing on iOS. ![]() Vlambeer started development on an iOS version of Radical Fishing called Ridiculous Fishing. During the development of Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, Vlambeer released many small games, most notably Luftrauser. The result, Serious Sam: The Random Encounter, was released on 24 October 2011. The studio and Devolver Digital agreed to develop and publish a turn-based role-playing game. Vlambeer was approached by publisher Devolver Digital to develop a game in the Serious Sam franchise. Radical Fishing was the first of many games released by the studio under a "Not Vlambeer" label, which encompasses the studio's games that are developed for money or as an experiment. During the development of Super Crate Box, Vlambeer developed Radical Fishing. It was released on as Super Crate Box and earned the studio recognition in the form of an Independent Games Festival finalist position in the Excellence in Design category. Ismail and Nijman began by working together to develop a prototype, initially created by Nijman, called "Crates from Hell". According to Ismail, they had been developing a game outside of the school, but when the school found out, the school demanded the rights to the game, which they refused, leading to their decision to drop out. Vlambeer was founded in 2010 by Rami Ismail and Jan Willem Nijman after both dropped out from a game design course at the Utrecht School of the Arts. History Vlambeer's Rami Ismail (left) and Jan Willem Nijman at the 2013 Game Developers Conference The studio was known for the games Super Crate Box (2010), Serious Sam: The Random Encounter (2011), Ridiculous Fishing (2013), Luftrausers (2014), and Nuclear Throne (2015), as well as for their stand against video game cloning. Founded in 2010, the studio was composed of Rami Ismail and Jan Willem Nijman, and closed down on its tenth anniversary after the two recognized they were moving in different directions. Vlambeer was a Dutch independent video game developer based in Utrecht. ![]() ![]() While in 2010 almost 10 percent of the national budget was allocated to healthcare, this figure had dropped to 5.8 percent by 2014. Throughout the crisis, Maduro’s government has increasingly neglected healthcare costs. However, Venezuela’s hospitals and other medical facilities are constantly understaffed and underfunded. In a state where hunger and oppression prevail, hospitals must work overtime to cope with the increased incidence of poor health. However, it is hardly the only crisis the Venezuelan healthcare system is facing. The lack of access to medical supplies poses an ever-increasing threat to the entire country. Additionally, Feo Istúriz (2017) highlights how often the medicines individuals pursue and may obtain are not actually the needed intervention. The death in 2018 of Marcos Carvajal, a former professional baseball player, to pneumonia due to a lack of antibiotics illuminated this reality (Raphelson, 2018). This shortage affects the entire Venezuelan population, not just the poor. Raphelson (2018) estimated a 90 percent deficit of medicine available in 2018, and this figure has likely only increased in the last year. Additionally, in Venezuela it has become increasingly difficult to gain access to contraception (Albaladejo, 2018). Since 2014 there have been shortages of “insulin, painkillers like aspirin, bandages, anesthetics, surgery tools, gloves, and antibiotics” (Jung, 2018). While this hyperinflation of medical expenses certainly burdens the Venezuelan population, the absolute lack of medicine is even more troubling. Stevens (2017) notes that a bottle of saline solution used for sterilization and cleaning that would normally cost US$1 costs US$200 on the black market in Venezuela. ![]() Most patients must resort to the black market for medical supplies, as pharmacies and medical clinics are no longer able to stock these resources. This has resulted in both inflation of the price of medicine available, and the majority of the population unable to access their basic healthcare needs. Venezuela lacks medical equipment, including medicine. As Venezuelan Oscar Feo Istúriz (2017) writes “.despite the advances which we can highlight from the last eighteen years, we must admit that the health situation in Venezuela is a disaster.” Yet in less than a decade, Venezuela's reputation and health infrastructure has rapidly crumbled. In subsequent years, Venezuela became known for its superior health system (Briggs & Mantini-Briggs, 2009 Carrillo Roa, 2018). These initiatives demonstrated a strengthening of health in Venezuela and a movement towards social medicine. Within these changes, Venezuela centralized healthcare under government institutions, increased cooperation across different sectors within medicine, and improved access to care in poor communities (Carrillo Roa, 2018 Cueto & Palmer, 2015). In the early 2000’s, under Chavez’s rule, Venezuela underwent large healthcare reforms, mostly centered around "Misión Barrio Adentro," or MBA (Cueto & Palmer, 2015). The Venezuelan health crisis is perhaps most surprising due to the country’s recent history of radical improvements in health infrastructure and medicine. Additionally, the crippling healthcare system has posed its own crisis on today’s population, between the lack of medical equipment and medical officials abandoning their posts, demonstrating the devastating effect that a socio-political conflict can have on a population’s health. Jung (2018) reports that the average Venezuelan in poverty from 2014 to 2018 lost 18 pounds. Hyperinflation has resulted in food shortages and inadequate government food rationing (Stevens, 2017). Yet the greatest threat to modern Venezuelans is malnutrition. However, in recent years violence has only escalated, reaching international attention as President Maduro continues to restrict public protesting. Experts report that prior to August of 2017, the political conflict alone had left about 70 dead and more than 1000 injured (Bello, 2017). From economic collapse from inflation, to disputed election results and debate around foreign intervention, Venezuela has become known globally as a country in crisis. Venezuela, which prior to 2014 was often regarded as one of Latin America’s most developed countries, in recent years has faced a devastating economic and political crisis. |
