You may develop, adapt, and implement new research techniques and protocols and analyze and interpret data. For more information about ongoing research projects : or contact independently but in close cooperation and in consultation with the Principal Investigator and other Research Scientist, our Postdoctoral Research Fellow will perform routine and complex laboratory procedures throughout training period. The laboratory is funded by National Institutes of Health, and eligible applicants may be funded by NIH T32 Training grant. Cutting edge molecular biology techniques are used such as transgenics, viral and non-viral vector based gene therapies, cell-derived products based therapies. The laboratory uses state-of-the-art techniques including two-photon and single photon microscopy, patch-clamp, panoramic voltage optical mapping, calcium imaging, multi-electrode array, and in vivo invasive electrophysiology studies. The Cingolani Arrhythmia research lab focuses on mechanisms and therapies of cardiac arrhythmias using different models of disease from cells to small and large animals. Such an approach could be an important step towards patient empowerment and could improve adherence to physicians’ recommendations.Postdoctoral Fellowship position available at the laboratory of Dr. That could be a starting point for a discussion on how these factors can be targeted through lifestyle modifications and medications. "When discussed with the patient, a special focus might be given to modifiable risk factors such as high BMI, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia, leading to optimal, goal-directed medical therapy of these risk factors. "In addition to informing the physician about the rationale behind model predictions, the visualization of factors contributing to increased risk of adverse events might serve as a powerful tool in shared decision-making after the exam, utilizing all available information," the team concluded. "Moreover, this approach also leverages time-to-event data to provide more robust risk estimation over time, which could potentially be applied to a broad range of AI tasks." "The model relies on the combined predictive potential of the clinical features, stress test data, and direct image analysis, similarly to the way clinicians try to integrate all available information to provide the most accurate study interpretation," the research team wrote in its study. It's being touted as the first study to "evaluate prediction at multiple time points of multiple events in a large multi-site registry of cardiovascular imaging data that also explicitly takes advantage of time-to-event data during model training." The results of the project were recently published in NPJ Digital Medicine. “Even more importantly, this tool has the potential to lend data-led, appropriate urgency to heart disease prevention efforts by both patients and providers.” “AI algorithms of this nature could enable physicians to communicate more personalized information regarding potential timing of imminent heart disease events, allowing patients to engage more meaningfully in the shared decision-making process,” added Sumeet Chugh, MD, director of the Center for Cardiac Arrest Prevention in the Smidt Heart Institute and director of the Division of Artificial Intelligence in Medicine and the Pauline and Harold Price Chair in Cardiac Electrophysiology Research. They can also interactively modify certain risk factors to see how it impacts a patient’s particular risk.” “Doctors and patients can use these graphs to track how risk changes over time and to identify individual risk factors. “This general patient data, together with heart imaging, is what the deep-learning platform uses to make cardiac health predictions,” Slomka said in a press release. Greyhound, by contrast, has long covered the entire country and is not particularly well-positioned for short trips. This is common for other low-cost bus carriers, which tend to focus on point-to-point routes in thick, high-demand markets such as the Northeast Corridor. A brief search on their website shows ample rides available for under $20 between frequent short routes like New-York-to-D.C. The company expanded quickly in the U.S., launching services in the West initially, then moving to Texas and New York the following year. Greyhound, by contrast, owns its own set of dated buses and is not ahead of the technology curve.Īpplying the Flixbus model to Greyhound’s vast network could produce some dramatically different results. The company strives to base route and market entry decisions on the most up-to-date information, using sophisticated technology. Michal Lehman, of the Centre for Transport Strategies, explains that this has allowed the service to expand rapidly, creating “ the largest network of intercity buses in Europe… 350,000 daily connections in 29 countries of the world.” In addition to continental Europe, Flixbus is planning rapid expansion in the UK. Flixbus is thus similar to Uber, serving as a middleman connecting consumers with services. In Europe, Flixbus’ business model is based on subcontracting provision of the bus service itself to other companies, while Flixbus coordinates ticket purchases, route decisions, and branding. This purchase could spell improvement for U.S. The buyer is a German company that has run discount bus and train services across Europe for years, and entered the North American market in 2018. The details of the transaction are notable. So it came as little surprise to the global business community when in October the company was acquired from its owner, FirstGroup, by transportation firm FlixBus. But it has struggled in recent decades, as short flights, cheap fuel, and discount bus lines provide competition. The company’s iconic blue buses serve a wide network across the U.S., and it owns several subsidiaries. For decades, Greyhound Lines has been the dominant player in the U.S. When I drive the Ferrari Challenge cars (little different sequential system, but overall same idea/function), the biggest place I found time was during braking zones. You are covering ground and still moving.you are just not accelerating for as long. once your engine stop pushing the car it will immediately start to decelerate.but the car is not stopping on track and then time travelling to when you finish your shift. Once you let off the throttle you are accelerating at a slower rate, or in the case of lifting completely off to shift, you are immediately decreasing your speed. You'll need to determine what rate you are accelerating at for the given speed, aero loads, gear, etc.then you have to determine how much time you lost by not accelerating for that time period. The car is just not accelerating for those 0.2s. Whether that is worth that much money to you, only your wallet knows.īryan hit it.0.2s saved in a shift is NOT 0.2s saved in a lap, in fact its much much less. 2 seconds per shift, for 10 shifts a lap, that lap will be about 2 seconds faster. That has been how it has worked for decades. Without those bells and whistles, you would lift off the throttle briefly and get really good at the of timing when you actually change gears. You'd be better served getting some one-to-one coaching from a pro driver and a data acquisition guru to show you where you can pick up speed.If you want a flat shift, then yes you need an ECU that can accommodate the strain gauges or whatever switch you run to cut power during the shift. You're only gaining 0.2s of throttle time, which is something, but not enough to merit spending that much money for a club-level car. Just because you're shifting 0.2s faster per shift doesn't mean that you actually are gaining that much time per shift. SATURN.35sec.3,5sec.Don't you need an ECU that cuts engine torque on upshift? If you don't, you'll have to use the clutch, and that doesn't do you any good when you're talking about shifting faster.Īnd you probably will only see a couple tenths per lap improvement in times. These are my printing parameters using Elegoo printers and YAJO standard resin.

It plans to “accelerate the expansion” of its smaller-formart stores, Sears Home & Life. Sears is moving forward on a strategy it believes will revitalize its brand. The company said laid-off employees will be offered the same amount of severance that Sears Holdings gave to employees prior to its October 2018 bankruptcy. “Our goal remains to return the company to profitability and preserve as many jobs as possible in the communities we serve,” it said in a statement. warned more store closures could soon be on the horizon. “These challenges have unfortunately affected our performance and limited our strategic choices,” Transform Co. It also attributed some of the company’s problems to its ongoing court battle with Sears Holdings, the still-bankrupt remnant of the company that used to own Sears and Kmart. The company blamed “a generally weak retail environment” for the closures. Liquidation sales will begin in mid-August and the stores will close in late October. It plans to close five Kmarts and 21 Sears stores across the United States and Puerto Rico. The parent company of Sears and Kmart, called Transform Co., said Wednesday that it has “faced a number of challenges returning our stores to sustainable levels of productivity. More than two dozen Sears and Kmart stores are closing, including locations in California, as the company continues to struggle after emerging from bankruptcy.

It protects the blade when it is retracted.īelt Clip: attached to the back of the case, a belt clip offers the means to keep a tape measure within reach, without the need to tuck it into a pocket. It provides a useful way to hold a measurement, for a moment, on the blade.Ĭase: the outside of the tape measure. Thumb Lock: the button on a tape measure that you press down to lock the tape in position. The shifting movement of the hook should be equal to the width of the hook, to compensate for measurements that include the hook (like inside a box or closet) and measurements that do not include the hook (like when measuring lumber or the outside of a window frame). It's attached to the blade by rivets that shift if the hook is pushed or pulled. Hook: the hook is found at the end of the blade. It's printed with lines and numbers to help you get an accurate measurement of an object. Tape: also called a blade, is the curved metal part that retracts and extends. That said, the Black Widow outclasses the FATMAX in every other way.Ī tape measure is made up of five visible parts: If wear on your tape is more of a concern, Stanely's iconic FATMAX might be worth a closer look. However, I find that the coating on its tape did show signs of wear after being rubbed down with sandpaper. While most of the tape measures in this guide scuff easily after being dropped, the Black Widow remains unblemished, thanks to its protective, easy-to-grip rubber body. This distinctive print on both sides of the tape measure allows for a reading to be taken no matter which way you hold the Black Widow, making it the most versatile and useful of any of the tape measures I found. The Black Widow's unique, high-contrast fluorescent-green-on-black printed measures, printed on both the top and bottom of the tape, is easy to read in dim lighting or under daylight conditions. While the width of the tape is similar to the Stanley FATMAX (allowing for easier horizontal measuring without the tape twisting), the hook stability and the high-contrast print on the Black Widow's tape bumps it into first place. With a large 1 and a quarter-inch wide and 1-inch deep hook at the end of the Crescent Lufkin Black Widow's tape, this tape measure is able to hold on to any edge that you might hook it to. After researching high rated tape measures, we came up with a list of some of the best tape measures you can get. Standard tape measures range anywhere from 15-feet to 50-feet but finding the best tape measure really comes down to the flexibility and features like auto lock, which helps to hold the tape in place to get more accurate measurements.įinding a tape measure that can withstand some wear and tear without being easily chipped or scratched is another important thing to consider when looking to choose a tape measure. It’s something you don’t often think about so it would probably also make for a great gift for anyone. While less exciting than using a circular saw or electric screwdriver, owning a reliable tape measure is a must for anyone interested in repairing or improving upon their home, as almost every project you might undertake will involve some kind of measuring.įrom novice to expert, apartment dwellers and homeowners alike will appreciate having a good tape measure around. Written by Rebecca Boniface and Ceara Perez-Murphy Following the drains, Lara eventually blasts a hole in the wall of the Louvre's ancient foundations, and makes her way through the heavily guarded museum. Now fully armed, Lara takes to the sewer tunnels beneath the Louvre, in an attempt to break in to the archeological dig while the museum is closed. Collapsing on a canal boat, Kurtis from Cafe Metro again appears, flicking a cigarette into the canal before exiting again on his motorcycle. His safe, containing the weapons Von Croy had requested, is open, but while collecting them Lara trips an alarm and is forced to leap from the building as it self-destructs. Inside, she finds Rennes dead with corpse surrounded by mysterious symbols written in blood. When arriving at the pawnbrokers, Lara is knocked aside by a gruff, tall man on his way out. Deciding to pursue the issue further, Lara asks for the same information and weapons, which Bouchard agrees to provide her if she delivers a set of Czech passports to his associate, the pawnbroker Daniel Rennes. After pressing Bouchard further, he admits Werner had contacted him asking for weapons and details of an archeological dig going on beneath the Louvre. Bouchard sits alone in his office, and when Lara approaches him demanding he tell her what he wanted with Von Croy, he initially plays innocent, claiming Werner had asked for maps of the Louvre to take "a busload of Japanese tourists to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa", but Lara is unconvinced. While making her way through the tunnels, Lara finds a deformed, crazed man named Arnaud strapped down to a bed in a locked cell. Pierre/Bernard gives Lara the details on access to Bouchard's hideout, located in crypt beneath St Aicard's Church. Lara notices a mysterious stranger known as Kurtis sitting in the corner, who later takes off on his motorcycle. Lara speaks either to Pierre or Bernard and is given access to Bouchard's hideout if she returns a box to either of them. Janice also reveals Carvier may have been murdered by the Monstrum after Lara left her. She also reveals information of Bouchard's two main workers. One is a city guide a who offers Lara information of the death of people by the Monstrum and a prostitute called Janice who tell her that Bouchard formerly ran a club known as Le Serpent Rouge and has lost staff. Everybody on the streets appears to know Bouchard. The research apparently involves a man known as Bouchard, and Lara resolves to find and question him on Von Croy's final days. Von Croy's journal contains details of his last project research on a work of art known as the "Obscura painting", apparently located in a medieval chamber beneath the Louvre. Lara is again forced to make a quick exit, and ends up spending the rest of the night in an abandoned train carriage in a Parisian slum. A shocked Carvier suspects Lara may be responsible, and telephones the police, but not before carrying out Werner's last wish that Lara should have his field journal. Eventually, Lara makes it to Carvier's apartment, and informs her of Werner's death. Unsure of what has happened, and of her own guilt or innocence, Lara flees the apartment, and is pursued down the backstreets of Paris by French police. When she awakes, Werner is dead, and his blood is smeared both on her hands and the walls of the apartment, forming strange symbols. In the next few moments, a blur of activity occurs, and Lara is knocked unconscious. Werner begs for her help, complaining that he is being stalked, and asks that she talk to Mademoiselle Carvier, a friend of his and art historian at the Louvre, but Lara admonishes him and gets up to leave. The visit, however, is not pleasant Lara blames Werner for abandoning her in Egypt at the conclusion of Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation. Lara has arrived in Paris to visit her former mentor, Werner von Croy. The story begins in Paris where a serial killer the press have named "The Monstrum" has been terrorizing the city, killing several seemingly unconnected individuals in a brutal, ritualistic fashion.

As a child, she had very little: the Contras had killed her parents and her grandmother raised her. For Angela, who migrated to the States from Nicaragua, a country that had been devastated by civil war, every thing she had or was given was deeply appreciated. Angela points out to Bill that his problems were caused by the American way of life. She begins to show him how to live in the now and to really feel things, not just breeze through life focused on what will happen in the future. She explains how his actions at the bank had far reaching consequences for other people, something he'd never considered. In her apartment, a "living scrapbook," Angela exposes Bill to a whole new way of thinking. She believes in living life to the fullest and experiencing everything as deeply and as fully as possible. She doesn't worry about tomorrow - she'll deal with that when it happens. Angela, on the other hand, lives in the now. His ambition and his desire for more power and money is what led him to overextending his reach at the bank and ultimately to a prison sentence. He never learned to stop and enjoy the moment. He was always concerned with the next big sale, buying a bigger house, a bigger car. Bill had always succeeded when he focused on the future, but finds himself at loose ends with the present. Angela offers to take him in when she discovers he has nowhere to go. Bill has been on the run for weeks he's depressed and suicidal. There, Bill meets Angela, a free spirited Latina. Luis brings Bill to Eddie's, a cheap Central American dive in downtown LA. But Bill must hole up for a few days more before the truck will leave. While in hiding, his former driver Luis finds him and offers to get him out of the country. Instead of giving up his freedom, he jumps bail. And then he got greedy, lost everything, and was sentenced to an eight-year prison term. Living the good life in Los Angeles, he had a nice house, a good job, and a loving wife. Bill was a golden boy of the banking industry. A, it's probably blended, because if it's not blended, they usually put the age on it. So when we don't see an age on a bottle, we assume (usually) two things about it. Legally, in order to not carry an age statement on the bottle, the youngest whiskey in this blend has to be at least four years old. It doesn't have a big number five or anything like that on it. Not that we like spending lots of money on whiskey, but, you can't really get much cheaper than an $18 bottle of whiskey.īob: So once again, this is a non-age stated bourbon, meaning that when you pick up the bottle, there's not an age on it. And if that's going to break the bank for you, then perhaps whiskey is not the world that you should be inhabiting. This is $18 in the state of Ohio, so we are jumping up $3 from our Top Floor. I mean, it was really good given the price point.īrad: Yeah, and I'll just give the price here. And then we tried this Top Floor last week and at $15, you can't really do any better. We tried the original Benchmark way back in season one, and for $10 we said, okay, you could do worse. Brad, I got to say, man, I'm really enjoying this so far. So we're moving our way along, moving up by proof point. And this one comes in at a bold 90 proof.īob: Yeah, four proof points higher than last week's Benchmark Top Floor. Now Bob, this is the second expression of this five-tiered Benchmark lineup we are investigating. The following review is taken from our episode " Mystic River / Benchmark Small Batch." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format.īrad: Alright everybody, today we are talking about Benchmark Small Batch. After last week's Benchmark Top Floor impressed us at $15, we're looking for bigger an better things from this $18, 90-proof Buffalo trace bourbon. Would you like to learn more about distilleries and bourbon? Are you planning a trip to Kentucky Distilleries? Maybe you would like to live the bourbon life vicariously through us?□ If any of these are true, then check out BourbonObsessed.Today, we're reviewing Benchmark Small Batch, the second whiskey in the new collection of special-edition bourbons bearing the Benchmark name. We hope you have enjoyed our Benchmark Full Proof Bourbon Review! Check out all of my Benchmark Bourbon Collection Reviews if you’re interested in learning about all the other bourbons from the Benchmark family. Overall, this is quite the enjoyable high proof bourbon!□ This one truly leaves me feeling like I ate a mouthful of red hots but the other flavors are there as well. There’s also quite bit more hot cinnamon in the Full Proof’s finish, as well. There are similarities, of course there’s apple, cinnamon, some rye spice and dry oak like the others but the burnt caramel and fuller rich brown sugar are clearly unique to the Full Proof. First of all, there’s the proof Full Proof Bourbon is 25 proof points higher than the next in line, the Bonded. The Benchmark Full Proof is night and day different from all of the others in the Benchmark Bourbon line. Read more about the whole set in our The New Benchmark Bourbon Collection post from back in December 2020. That’s a pretty reasonable price for a whole set of bourbons! This bourbon family is just perfect for nice tasting flight with friends. I picked up all of them for less than $130 when they first came out. What is great about the set is its price. Regardless of the terminology, Benchmark Full Proof was both barreled and bottled at 125 proof.īenchmark Full Proof Bourbon was introduced back in late 2020 along with Top Floor, Single Barrel, Small Batch and Bonded bourbons. So this bourbon could have been called “Entry Proof”, but it doesn’t have quite the same ring. More commonly, the proof at which a bourbon goes into a barrel is aptly called the “entry proof”. So, what about the definition? Full Proof refers to a bourbon that is bottled at the same proof that it went into the barrel. Then, in late 2020, Benchmark Full Proof joined the clan. First, there were 1792 Full Proof and Weller Full Proof bourbons. Buffalo Trace seems to have coined the phrase, or they are at least the ones that use it the most. So, what exactly is a “Full Proof” bourbon? Well, if you want the legal definition, you’re out of luck because there isn’t one. “Full Proof – This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at the same proof that it enters the barrel.” So what’s it like? Read on to find out! What Is A “Full Proof” Bourbon? Please enjoy our Benchmark Full Proof Bourbon Review! |
