Cow raw hides10/12/2023 ![]() Little Riley loved her bone, and I smile whenever I remember her going at it with gusto. ![]() We just started buying raw bones for our dogs. This was an amazing discussion that I had in a LinkedIn group, and I was skeptical about some of the recommendations, but then I tried them out and was happily surprised.įlat-Coated Retriever puppy eats a chicken carcass 3) Raw Bones Sara Ochoa, DVM Alternatives to Rawhide Chews I do know some dogs who have been chewing on rawhide for years with no problems at all, but I do see all the problems that they can cause and recommend people use different things for their dogs to chew on. I strongly discourage owners about giving their pets rawhides. They think that just because they are sold in stores that they must be okay for their dog. Most people do not fully research things before they buy them for their dogs. Sara Ochoa, DVM, shared that the main reason rawhides are sold in stores is that pet parents are still buying these chews. But the times that I do venture into a Petco or Petsmart, I always wonder why they still sell rawhide chews if they're so dangerous.ĭr. I rarely shop in the big chain pet stores anymore because it's less expensive to shop online or through my local raw food co-op. Joanna Woodnutt- Freelance Veterinary Writer Why are Rawhide Chews Sold in Stores In addition, most rawhide chews are ultra-processed with hundreds of chemicals- I would not want to feed them to my dog on this alone. These sharp fragments can damage the mouth, stomach and intestines. Secondly, when a dog chews on rawhide it can shatter and fragment. This can cause extreme vomiting and may need emergency surgery to correct. Instead, it gets pulled through the guts as a chunk, inevitably getting stuck when the intestines start to narrow. Along with the blockage mentioned above, veterinarians are seeing other painful injuries including broken teeth, broken jaws, and rawhide pieces stock in the intestines.Īs a vet, my main concerns with rawhide chews are in their digestibility, their chemical processing and their ability to fragment.Īlthough dogs can usually digest rawhide, when a large chunk of rawhide is swallowed, it may not get digested by the stomach and intestines in time. Rawhide chews can cause painful injuries. As I shared, Rodrigo can't handle the flavored ones there are other dogs that have shown that they're allergic to the ingredients used to create the rawhide chews. Rawhide chews come with a risk of contamination due to the chemicals used to create them (remember the glue I mentioned?). They passed right before he was due for a trip to the emergency vet and it was a painful process for him and terrifying for me. Rodrigo enjoyed rawhide chews until he had to pass a few sharp pieces. Our dogs sometimes swallow entire chunks at a time, and since they're largely indigestible, these can get stuck in a dog's throat (I've pulled many out) and intestinal tract. Rawhide chews come with a real risk of blockage. Some rawhide chews are flavored, but Rodrigo doesn't do well with the flavored ones, so we always just purchased the plain ones. They're spun in circles and dried, and if you look closely, they're held together with an adhesive (should our dogs be consuming this?). The ones we've purchased are made of beef hide. Rawhide chews were my saving grace when the weather sucked, when I needed to get some work done, or when I just wanted a peaceful evening. When I accepted that rawhide chews were dangerous for my dogs, I was disappointed. Rawhide chews keep our dogs' jaws strong, their teeth clean, and their breath fresh. Our dogs love to chew and rawhide chews have been great for their teeth, for boredom, and to alleviate anxiety. Did you know that rawhide chews are mostly indigestible? Did you know that rawhide chews can be dangerous to our dogs? In this post, I share more than 20 alternatives for pet parents looking to safely satisfy their dog's chew drive.

Newest iphones in order10/12/2023 ![]() Something which could impact orders for several months. iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max will be available in stores and for delivery starting Friday, September 16. Starting today, customers can pre-order all models of the advanced iPhone 14 lineup on and on the Apple Store app. All of this gives potential Pro Max upgraders a worrying dilemma: commit to a bigger purchase immediately or risk missing out on a limited supply of units. Customers can pre-order the iPhone 14 lineup today and save up to 1,000 with trade-in. ![]() Tempering this are multiple reports that Apple will increase the price of the Pro models, with a $100 rise for the iPhone 15 Pro and a bigger $200 jump for the iPhone 15 Pro Max. ![]() Meanwhile, the iPhone 15 Pros will have super thin bezels, a stronger, lighter titanium chassis, Thunderbolt4 speeds and a next-gen 3nm A17 chip, but iPhone 15 Pro Max will be alone in getting Apple’s first periscopic zoom lens, which is tipped to be the highlight of the event. The iPhone 15 and iPhone 14 Plus will essentially be versions of the iPhone 14 Pros, complete with an A16 chip, 48-megapixel primary camera and Dynamic Island design. The components are allegedly on order for use in the 'iPhone 15.' Reports throughout 2023 have increasingly suggested the periscope camera is coming to the larger iPhone 15 Pro. And this is all the more striking because the iPhone 15 Pro Max will be the standout addition to this year’s iPhone lineup. With the iPhone 15 range expected to be announced on September 12, put up for pre-order on the 15th and in hands the subsequent week, this could mean the iPhone 15 Pro Max won’t reach that stage until late October. Apple could still put the iPhone 15 Pro Max on sale at the same time as the iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro, but actual deliveries may happen significantly later. Of course, there are semantics involved here.

Album or cover men at work business as usual10/12/2023 ![]() In that way, the album is a testament to allowing artists to operate on their own timelines, and in the ways that benefit their work the most. Within her American musical identity is a preoccupation with the devil, God, and souls - like in the ominous sounds of dogs barking on “I’m Your Man.” They appear in the big orchestral sweeps of “Heaven”, in the haunted woodwinds and horns of “When Memories Snow,” in the drum fills that lead into the lines “You know I’d always been alone / Till you taught me / To live for somebody” on “Star.” (All three no doubt at least partially to the credit of orchestra conductor Drew Erickson, known for his work with Lana Del Rey ).Ī few of the songs on “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We” began years ago and were given time to mature into their final forms - another benefit of taking time off. On “I Don’t Like My Mind,” she sings, “I don’t like my mind / I don’t like being left alone in a room / With all its opinions about / The things that I’ve done,” offering profundity to mundane, worried behavior - the kind often described colloquially as “cringeworthy” - because expressing acute anxiety in the modern era is most commonly done with cute branding, instead of the head-on collision of a Mitski track. The Associated Press wrote that, "In the best possible sense, Man Work is like Colin Hay's cover version of his own greatest hits album." Track listing Īll tracks written by Colin Hay, except where noted.Where allegories fail, Mitski gets explicit. Reception Professional ratings Review scoresĪllMusic gave a mostly negative review of the album, saying of the Men at Work covers that "While such acoustic Men at Work tracks as "Overkill" and "Who Can It Be Now?" are quite charming and worth hearing, the pointless re-recordings of "Be Good Johnny" and "It's a Mistake" (which are almost identical to the originals) are pretty darn pointless." They summarized his solo reworkings as "worth hearing, but of course, they're not up to the high Business as Usual standards." They concluded that the album "will only be of interest to the hardest of hardcore Colin Hay fan." The album was re-released on vinyl in 2014 with different tracklisting replacing several tracks with new ones. The album concludes with a version of "Down Under" recorded with the group Wild Clams. Business as Usual is the debut studio album by Australian new wave band Men at Work, which was released in November 1981 in Australia, and April 1982 in the. acoustic versions of " Down Under" and " Who Can It Be Now?").

Some songs are almost identical to the original recordings (e.g. Business as Usual appeared in the book 100 Best Australian Albums (October 2010). The album is a career-retrospective for Hay: he is best known as the lead singer for the 1980s Australian pop band Men at Work, and roughly half of the songs on this album are Hay's solo studio renderings of works from the Men at Work catalog, while several others are remixes or re-recordings of material from his solo albums. ![]() Man Work is the eighth studio album by Scottish Australian singer Colin Hay, released by Compass Records in July 2003.

Best ipad to run loopy hd10/11/2023 Super simple interface with powerful features." J. "I pretty much own every mobile looper out there and Loopy is HANDS DOWN the best. "This is the best loop station on the iPhone". Create music with Loopy HD by layering looped recordings of singing, beatboxing, or playing an instrument with a savvy, sophisticated, tactile new looper that totally reinvents the formula. Good knowledge, anyway.As seen on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. While not instantaneous as OP is after (it takes me 5-10 seconds) it might be workable for some as a composition technique. give it its own sub-folder - maybe even name the tracks if you like the setup) it can be very quick to set these loops going in the same session. Just to add, if you keep your ‘AUM Recordings’ folder tidy and save your project at the beginning (i.e. Sync Quantum is the setting, and I think it’s turned on by default. If you combine those two things you’ll get a perfect loop. If it records and you press ”rec” it will stop recording at the end of the current cycle/revolution. I didn’t feel this was answered fully, but yes, you can record perfect loops in AUM without having to do the trimming thing on existing files.īasically if the transport is already running and you press ”rec”, it’ll start recording on the next revolution/cycle. I feel like apr matrix should let you record directly to loopy but I haven't tried it, as you can record perfectly timed loops within AUM Just to add the AUv3 idea into this topic (derail but for good purposes) which could be implemented by Audiobus or AUM as internal processor. ITOH AUv3 looper will be useful also for any other hosts.Īlso special mention to Stagelight which could be a solution being loop recorder+song composition+clip launcher. I’m ok with supporting both even when I didn’t use any of them Yes, it could be another option but it will need subgroups and other interesting things from AUM. This way Loopy Pro (masterpiece) ideas are more likely to come true instead of something that might have been the Holy Grail but is in real terms very far away. or maybe should focus on Audiobus masterpiece instead and think of even further Loopy integration where Loopy is basically baked into Audiobus. Thanks a said: maybe could put some light almost in the ideas he’s considering for Loopy MasterPiece or maybe is considering add some kind of loop recorder as insert. Many thanks for this explanation, i start to grasp the loop topic!Īnd it would be nice, to get your preset too! With this preset, you need to keep Loopy monitoring settings off, and Ruismaker Noir in AUM can be replaced by anything else. I use AB beta and AUM beta, so perhaps this will not open correctly, let me know. Blocswave is also ideal for that purpose with more slots and multi export, but it’s less reliable than before since iOS 12 and no midi control.Įdit: Here is an AB preset. So it’s more a live tool than a production tool, but it all depends on your needs. ![]() And 12 loops is not a lot for a full song. Only thing missing is multi loop export, as you have to export each 44.1/16 loop individually. And Loopy allows for easiest recording process via touchscreen, or you can even uses a pedalboard/midi controller for advanced triggering via midi learn. ![]() AUM allows for recording loops, but you need to load each time each loop in a file player node to listen to your whole production. It will let you make multiple loops playing at the same time like if it was a mini DAW. This is the main purpose of Loopy if you want to use it for production: making some loops/music material in realtime. So AUM is better mostly for Loopy session/live gigging audio recording. Said: session recording uses AAC format, but loop recording uses 44.1 kHz 16 bits.

Wim hof method blood pressure10/11/2023 This can lead to constriction of blood vessels and reduced calcium levels – hence the pins and needles. ![]() ![]() Therefore by lowering CO2, you raise your blood pH and make it more alkaline. Carbon dioxide is normally reacts with water to create carbonic acid making blood more acidic – like lemonade. What happens when you take those deep breaths, is that you indeed fill your lungs with oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. In fact, the Wim Hof technique works by reducing our ability to utilize oxygen! Actually though, they’ve got it all backward. So, What is Going On?Ī lot of people will tell you that this effect is a powerful demonstration of the importance of oxygen – that breathing in deeply is ‘filling the cells’ with oxygen. Not only that, but you will now feel more awake, more alert, and more focussed. In fact, this is especially true if you try performing the press ups with your breath held! You may even feel as though the water is warm! Likewise, if you were to try and perform press ups, or to lift a heavy weight, then you would notice massively increased strength. Now immediately after this experience, if you try stepping into a cold shower, then you should find that it doesn’t freeze you in quite the same way. You can repeat this whole process up to three times. When this happens, take that breath and then hold it for 15-20 seconds. ![]()

Torus fracture of left fibula10/11/2023 ![]() Casts and braces can also be uncomfortable. Only fractures that are limited to two parts and are stable and well aligned can be treated with a brace. In many cases of distal femur fracture, however, a cast or brace cannot correctly line up the bone pieces because shortened muscles pull the pieces out of place. Casts and braces hold the bones in place while they heal. A pin is placed in a bone to position the leg. Skeletal traction is a pulley system of weights and counterweights that holds the broken pieces of bone together. Nonsurgical treatment options for distal femur fractures include: Sometimes, other studies are done to check the blood supply to your leg. Your doctor may order other tests that do not involve the broken leg to make sure no other body parts are injured (head, chest, belly, pelvis, spine, arms, and other leg). A CT scan will help your doctor decide how to fix the break. This scan can show whether the fracture enters the joint surface and, if so, how many pieces of bone there are. It can provide your doctor with valuable information about the severity of the fracture. A CT scan shows a cross-sectional image of your limb. To make sure no other breaks are missed, your hip and ankle joints will also be x-rayed. They can also show the type of fracture and where it is located within the femur. X-rays can show whether a bone is intact or broken. The most common way to evaluate a fracture is with x-rays, which provide clear images of bone. Other tests that will provide your doctor with more information about your injury include: Your doctor will also check the blood and nerve supply to your leg.He or she will examine your skin around the fracture to make sure it is not an open fracture.Your doctor will assess your overall condition to make sure no other body parts have been injured (head, belly, chest, pelvis, spine, and other extremities).Your doctor also needs to know if you take any medications.Īfter discussing your symptoms and medical history, your doctor will do a careful examination. For example, if you fell from a tree, how far did you fall? It is just as important for your doctor to know if you sustained any other injuries and if you have any other medical problems, such as diabetes. It is important that your doctor knows the circumstances of your injury.
