Scientists are also using stem cells to learn how the human body is made and why some cells develop abnormally and lead to problems such as birth defects and cancer. In addition, stem cells can be used to create specialized tissues to test out drugs before prescribing them to humans. Scientists harnessing this remarkable latter ability, referred to as pluripotency, are using stem cells to repair or regenerate damaged tissues and organs, providing potential treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, and cancer. Special cells in our bodies, called stem cells, have the ability to both extensively self-renew and, through a series of highly complex molecular events, turn themselves into all of the unique cells found in the human body. The secret ingredient behind the next revolution in medicine lies within each of us. Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine.Institute for Neuroscience Discovery (UM-MIND). ![]()

![]() Is it really possible “Pretty Please” or “Hallucinating” weren’t No. The first nine of the 11 tracks are an unbroken string of songs that were either phenomenal singles or should have been. ![]() At the time it was released, and it felt like a stone-cold pop classic, and two years of repeat listens have only confirmed that it wasn’t just a lockdown variant of Stockholm syndrome that made us feel that strongly in the moment. “Future Nostalgia” would have been a great album no matter when it came out, of course… and with its purposeful mixture of late ’70s, ’80s and ’90s sounds, it could have come out almost any time in the last 25 or 30 years. Some of us might’ve even played these albums on alternate days, just to achieve balance in the Force. And the separate-but-equal “Nostalgia” aesthetic? Screw solitude - let’s embrace love and levity, and have a party in our heads till we can get in touch with our own bodies and each other’s again. was to lockdown was something not to endure but to embrace - go inward, brooding a little, balladeering a little and, most importantly, using the extra alone time to get shit done. These two touchstone releases of 2020 barely seemed to exist in the same world, let alone genre, but they effectively captured a populace’s polarized reactions to the cessation of normal life as anyone knew it. When it comes down to history being written, there will really be two albums remembered as the quintessential quarantine albums: “Future Nostalgia” and Taylor Swift’s “Folklore” (with or without its worthy adjunct, “Evermore”).

See our How to improve wifi broadband speed page for how to improve your Wi-Fi speed. Please see our page dedicated to How to improve your broadband speed for more information about these and how to optimise your speed. If you are interested in measuring the best available speed then you should consider the following things that affect the speed: Our speed checker includes a wifi speed test that measures your wifi speed to identify any bottlenecks. For this reason, we recommend taking tests as near as possible to the router and ideally when connected directly to the router with a network cable. If you complain to your provider they will measure the speed at the router and it is this speed that will determine if you are getting what you paid for. If you are interested in monitoring how the speed changes with time then it is best to ensure you measure on the same device and at the same time and, where possible, with the same number of devices using the internet. You are most likely to be interested in how good your speed is in various locations in your premises, using wireless connections and when all members of the household are using the internet. If you want to measure the maximum possible speed you should ensure that the internet is not being used by other devices or applications and that the measurement is taken as close to the router as possible. Our broadband speed test tool accurately shows the speed at a given time and under the circumstances that were present at the time of the test:- the result will be affected by any other device or application that is using the internet. It is important to understand the accuracy of each internet speed test as well as the purpose of the test. Get accurate tests and improve your speed The ping test result included in our results will give a good indication of latency - the smaller the better. This is why it is so important for games but it also improves any online activity. It has an impact on how long after you click something for you to see the corresponding change. Latency is a measure of how responsive your internet connection is. ![]() Latency is particularly important for many online games. Speeds of 0.3 (SD) to 1.5 (HD) Mb/s will be sufficient for video calls and speeds of 3 Mb/s are ideal for social media.įor online gaming, you will need download speeds of more than 3 Mb/s and upload speeds of > 1 Mb/s. We work hard to ensure our broadband speed test produce the best, most accurate results possible. Test your speed now and compare the results with the following to see if your current speed meets your needs. Under 100ms is OK but under 40ms is optimal.
![]() Draw the sepals, which are the small leaf-like structures beneath the petals.Pay attention to the natural folds and contours of a rose. Add small lines and curves within the petals to create texture and depth. Once you have a few layers of petals, start adding detail.Vary the shapes and angles of the petals to give your rose a natural look. Add more petals around the center by drawing similar curved lines, gradually increasing their size as you move outward.Repeat this on the other side to create the first petal. From the top of the oval, draw a curved line that extends outward and slightly downward.This will serve as the base of your rose. Start by lightly sketching a small oval shape at the center of your paper.You can also use different shades of each color to create a more varied and realistic look. You can use any colors you like, but some tips on a rose drawing with the color include using light and dark colors to create depth and interest and using complementary colors to create a balanced look.

Draw an irregular shape on one side of the leaf. Here are some problems that I had to deal with in the past, which made spark plugs wear out pretty quickly. Spark plugs might not be the most sensitive part of the vehicle, but they sure go bad if you show negligence. Oxidation and corrosion can lead to a more significant gap which is caused majorly by abnormal electrode erosion.In such cases, breakage might also occur due to thermal expansion. Notice any brownish-yellow deposits on the nose of the insulator? It might be ensnaring.If your spark plug seems glossier and shinier than usual, it indicated overheating as the tip material melt from the heat, forming a coating.Also, sometimes an issue with a breached head gasket can cause a problem too. Waterlogged deposits show poor oil control or a problem with the valve. Large plug gap, a decreased compression, or profoundly retarded timing. Dark color or deposits of any kind (wet or dry) can indicate a vacuum leakage.The temperature is ideal, and the engine is excellent too. How to Read Spark Plugs for Tuning? Optimum functionalityĪ gray or light tan hue shows that the spark plug is operating at its maximum capability. Here is the chart of the most used spark plug socket size in mm and inches and including their applications. ![]() Some are the usual size that people mistakenly took as the ‘standard size,’ and some are quite big. The size of any spark plug socket depends on the size and type of the vehicle it is used in. I come across questions like what size is a standard spark plug socket? Well, there is no standard size. He will guide you on what you have been doing wrong. I see people struggling with the Vernier calipers, too it is okay. If it is accessible then, you can use Vernier calipers to measure the hex size. Check the spark plug itself for the size of the socket.This makes it easy to find the size of the socket. First of all, check your car manual to find out the type and model of the plug.You can use the following steps to find the size of the spark plug socket. How to Find the Spark Plug Socket Size?įinding the right size of the spark plug socket is not a tricky task, but I often see people messing it up. ![]() Hence, you can find frequently used formats, but they vary based on their application depending on the vehicle. These sizes are generally used for cars, whereas a ¾” plug socket is a common one for lawnmowers. People often mistake to consider the most common sizes i.e., 13/16″ and 5/8″ as the standard size spark plug socket.
![]() Those not familiar with the marque’s history will like it just because it’s so big and cool. True BMW history buffs will appreciate the R 18 because of all the cues it takes from the R 23 of almost 100 years ago. But it’s not as ungainly on a mountain road as, say, a Honda Goldwing or the Harley equivalent. On the road it’s most comfortable in sixth gear at 80 mph going in a straight line. Outside of those engine speeds the big twin shakes too much. The smooth operation of the flat-twin seems to be in a narrow band between 30 rpm. The result is that you don’t shift by tach, or by sound, but by vibration. There is a tachometer, but it is a tiny LED numerical readout on the single round speedo gauge and it’s hard to see. The big flat-twin really shakes things up when it starts, but also when you’re leaned over, powering out of a corner. But it is noticeable, particularly in throttle response. The difference isn’t huge, not like the equivalent differences in ride modes you’ll feel on a typical sport bike or sport tourer. I switched back and forth between Rock and Roll on my ride through some twisty mountain two-lanes. Roll is the default setting, it’s like Comfort. It has three ride modes: Rock, Roll, and Rain. So if you test-ride one at your BMW dealership, keep that in mind. When you first get on it and ride off, it’ll feel every one of its 761 pounds. You get used to the big and heavy part after a little recalibrating of your brain and you pretty quickly appreciate the power and torque. I got to ride it for an afternoon and I can tell you, oh man, it is big and heavy, but it’s also loaded with power and torque. They still want a stylish and handsome cruiser, but not all of them insist it be a Harley or an Indian, BMW says. Interestingly, Indian registrations are up 20.1%, which tells you a lot about how the shift to alternative brands in this space is progressing.”īuyers who are less brand-loyal are coming in. “Their registration counts are down 19.2%. market is currently 36.6%, down from 42.3% from the same timeframe last year (August YTD),” said BMW product planner Vinny Kung. “The big cruiser market is a very big chunk of the big cake,” said R 18 designer Edgar Heinrich.īut the cake is being eaten and everyone wants a bite. The idea with the R 18 was to compete with the mighty sales juggernaut of Harley-Davidson in the cruiser segment, where Harley has dominated American buyers for seemingly ever. Pricing starts at a very reasonable $16,640 including destination but can easily clear 20k with a few options. That 1802cc flat twin (!!!) puts out 91 hp and 116 lb-ft of torque, more than enough to move the bike’s 761 pounds of curb weight. The R 18 harkens back to the very roots of BMW Motorrad and the 1923 R 23, from which the R 18 gets its basic shape, flat-twin engine configuration, and even shaft drive.īut it’s all modernized. ![]() There is no more retro a motorcycle than this R 18 anywhere on this page, and probably anywhere in the world. So read on, fellow bikers, and see if nostalgia really is better the second time around. Now we can buy a motorcycle that looks mostly like whatever we had or wanted back then and find that this one starts every time, handles safely, and never catches on fire. But now that we are all successful businessmen/women/doctors/lawyers/cartel kingpins, we can afford to recapture that youth that slipped away. Sure, it wasn’t true-we all had acne, no money, and half the time that car/bike/board wasn’t working for one reason or another. ![]() And at that time, we owned a car or a motorcycle or a skateboard that was the main delivery vehicle of all those good times. But I think we all look back to whatever the hell it is we did in high school and see our younger selves as some kind of superhumans, who had the most fun we would ever have in our soon-to-be-dull-and-responsible lives. Why is nostalgia such a powerful draw? Who knows? I’m a script-writer not a psychiatrist. All you have to do is pick the particular era of yesteryear that appeals to you and voila, there will be a bike waiting for you. If you yearn for the classic bikes of yesteryear, but don’t like carburetors and kick starters, there is a fleet of motorcycles in almost every showroom right now waiting for you. ![]() Next, switch to the “Export” tab, and select the citation style you would like to use as your default when you export citations and bibliographies.

Change passwords immediately if you suspect a leak.įinding a balance between convenience and security can help you operate efficiently while reducing concerns about lost or stolen passwords.I forgot my password. ![]() Schedule Updates: Get into the habit of updating passwords regularly, and keep track of when changes are made.Limit access to that information to the necessary parties, and never share sensitive password details via email, which is not secure. However, you risk having information get passed to others anytime someone has access to login details. Think Twice Before Sharing: Occasionally, you’ll need to share a password with others, and multiple users may update that password.Those services support two-factor authentication, also referred to as two-step verification, which involves entering an initial password that you set, and then a second code that is sent to your mobile device. If you need to access a file from more than one location or device, you can use cloud storage services that are password protected, such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Consider Storage Options: For extra security, you can store your password log on an encrypted hard drive.You can do a quick online search to find detailed instructions on encrypting files on Mac and Windows. You can encrypt Microsoft Excel and Word files by following a few steps under the File menu, and you can encrypt Adobe PDF files by following steps under the Tools menu. So, if you’re storing your login information in an encrypted, password-protected Excel file, for instance, you’ll need to remember that master password to open the file and access the information.
