Caffeine Content Health Benefits Side Effects Ginger tea is a combination of ginger root and boiling water. If you have a tea ball infuser, you can also chop the thyme sprigs before steeping. You will need about 3 thyme sprigs for 1 1/2 cup of boiling water. Making thyme tea is as easy as steeping a few thyme sprigs in hot water. There are quite a few studies that confirm the beneficial effects of thyme so it’s great to have it handy during flu season. I make sure I always have some dried thyme on hand during the wintertime because thyme tea helps to relieve cold symptoms and especially cough. Just spread fresh thyme on a flat surface and leave it for a couple of days. Tie a few sprigs of thyme together in a small bunch and hang in a large mug. This is because the Mediterranean plant contains properties that. ![]() Stir in the ginger, lemon juice, turmeric, and honey (start with 1 tablespoon of honey and add as you need). Instructions Let a good 250 ml of water boil. Similarly to elderflower and ginger, thyme tea is also an effective treatment for colds. Complementary and alternative medicine has used it as a tea. Studies in humans and rodents show that garlic and ginger may help reduce markers of oxidative stress and may help boost antioxidant defenses. You can buy prepackaged thyme tea or you can make the tea using fresh or dried thyme you buy for cooking.įresh thyme keeps very well in the fridge and it’s also very easy to dry it.

There’s no denying PES 2021 does feel a little different on the field. Hey, it’s £25, what did you want, exactly? The only major thing that’s changed in the presentation is that the colours of the menus are different, and that’s literally it.Īh, and there’s some new music. The 2020 updates such as the brilliant new camera angle, dribbling physics and the Master League are all present and correct here. That’s until you get on the pitch, and you realise that there are several new ways to play and pretend that you’re Paul Pogba getting frustrated because he’s surrounded by worthless money-hungry wastemen (why yes, your reviewer is a Man United fan, thanks for asking). ![]() Kits, squads, stadiums, transfers are all bang up to date for the 2020-2021 football season – though the stadiums full of fans is highly unrealistic at time of writing – and whilst the more hardcore may require more, the words ‘Seasonal Update’ is exactly what it says on the tin. They’re not messing around with the Seasonal Update gubbins here, purely that’s all you’re getting that’s somewhat different from last years entry (albeit with the odd nice extra which I’ll go into soon). The first thing you should probably know is that this is effectively PES 2020. A feature that FIFA has been crying out for as EA Sports get increasingly worried they’ve ran out of ideas.Īs a lifelong fan of football games I’ve cried out for the ‘Seasonal Update’ angle, buy in at full whack once and then update every year at a lower price whilst keeping me in the ecosystem? It makes an awful lot of sense on paper. Konami, in its infinite wisdom have taken it upon themselves to be the first to move into the long-awaited ‘Seasonal Update’ territory, a yearly model that allows you to keep a single copy of the game and then pay for an incremental update every year which allows players to keep their stats and teams up to date. Namely, the only real answer to EA Sports FIFA juggernaut that continues to roll on no matter how dreadful they continue to make it. It’s fair to say their public persona hasn’t exactly been a sea of positivity, but one franchise always rose above the vitriol and the bad press PES. Not for a long of things, they’ve been a trainwreck for the past few years, dealing with major franchises the way a child throws a toy on the ground never to pick it up again until they throw it in the dirt and then hand it to you like a present. You don't even need to pay full price for the best football game in years. ![]() ![]() ![]() It's as if he's editing in real-time and it's not hard to imagine every suggestion he hears and every idea that comes into his mind finding its way into the game. When something catches his attention in one video, he's often reminded of a scene in another and so he jumps between them. Meanwhile, a third video was playing on a tablet that Sosowski had just yanked out of his bag. A trailer playing in fullscreen had been paused while our attention shifted to a different video in a smaller window superimposed on top of the first. ![]() To be precise, I should say which of the videos had the dinosaur in it because at one point there were three videos in progress. I saw the proof of the space dinosaurs in the video playing on Sosowski's laptop, which has more stickers adorning it than my last Panini World Cup Album did. I laughed and said, “of course.” Mildly objecting to my acceptance of the idea as the kind of lolrandom weirdness for the sake of weirdness that it'd be easy to see the game as, he explained: “Dinosaurs never went extinct, they became so advanced that they left the planet and went to live in space.” Earlier, he'd casually mentioned that “when you go to space, there are dinosaurs there, in space”. It's precisely the kind of explanation I'd come to expect at that point. They're brainless because the initial attempt to create boneless people was thwarted by an autocorrect, Sosowski explains. These people aren't just boneless, they're also brainless, and all they want to do is flail, punch and fight. You might think bonelessness would be a blessing then, but when the toxin transforms everyone except your character, the mosh pit you happen to be in becomes very dangerous. Even at a grungy concert, where you as one of the stiffs find yourself, there's no real fluidity to the dancing. They're not having a great time and I can definitely see why someone might want to make them a bit looser and less rigid. People with bones are depicted as stiff things, sort of hopping through the world with a couple of frames of animation. The plot came much later and it involves a mad scientist (what else?) who decides to release a toxin that will remove everybody's bones. The initial gif had been viewed four million times within 24 hours of being posted to Twitter and maybe there was something more to these weird creatures than a quick creepy-laugh. It didn't start that way, being nothing more than an experiment with physics that was much more likely to be discarded or to become one of Sosowski's many shorts than to transform into a full-fledged game, more than a year in the making. A jaunty soundtrack makes all the difference, he tells me layer some horror synths over the twitching expressionless nudes and they're disturbing, but give them a bouncy comedy soundtrack and they're having a ball, even when you're punching them into orbit or throwing them over a building.īut what about the animals and the important question as to whether they have bones? It's all about the plot, for this is indeed a game with a plot. Looking at it close up, I feel it's more the latter than the former, which is in line with Sosowski's own feelings. Whatever the code might be telling these things to do, the result has been described as both horrifying or hilarious. They move erratically using some brilliantly awful application of physics that essentially causing them to be falling constantly, but repeatedly jerking back into an upright position with a randomised angle of ascent. I'd expected to see a series of vignettes in which these boneless flesh-bags push and punch one another – the game's title comes from an original scene that had rubbery people dancing, colliding and crowding around one another – but instead I found a weird plot, a thoughtful approach to VR and a giant whale crashing into a city street. That's why they flop about, wobbling and folding in on themselves. In the world of Mosh Pit Simulator, people don't have any bones. Last week, I met with Sosowski and he showed me the game behind the gifs. You may have seen the jiggling jelly-like naked men in the many gifs that have documented the development of Mosh Pit Simulator, you may even have seen the glitching dinosaurs that appear to be in a constant state of mid-explosion, but behind all the madness there is a method. Sos Sosowski is a self-styled “mad scientist of video games”, so it is perhaps fitting that his latest game began, as so many scientific discoveries do, with a mistake. At one point, I found myself asking if animals have bones. ![]() ![]() ![]() The R500E Sniper comes in Slate Gray and will be available Spring 2021.Įlectric Cocking Motor, Charger and Removable BatteryĦ – Ravin.

The Electron Devices Society has decided to celebrate the year 2022-2023 as the 75th Anniversary of the Transistor. All three received The Nobel Prize in Physics (1956) and as per Nobel Prize Committee - "In 1947 John Bardeen and Walter Brattain produced a semiconductor amplifier, which was further developed by William Shockley. A week after that, the device was officially demonstrated to Bell Labs executives as a “magnificent Christmas present." In January 1948, William Shockley demonstrated the junction transistor. The invention was made on December 16, 1947. The famous physicists - Walter Brattain and John Bardeen managed to make the first working transistor, now known as the point-contact transistor. This was done by three brilliant scientists who were members of the Mervin Kelly’s Solid State Physics Group and Semiconductor Sub-Group at Bell Labs, which were given the challenging task of creating a solid-state semiconductor switch that could replace the vacuum tube. Similarly, November 1947 – January 1948 were the three magical months that paved the way for modern-day electronics. The year 1905 is well known as the “Miracle Year” because Albert Einstein published four papers that changed the laws of physics and were significant contributions to the foundation of modern physics.

Using state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic technologies, we provide medical and surgical care for all conditions of the retina, macula, and vitreous, including diabetic retinopathy, dry, and wet macular degeneration, vein occlusion, eye flashes and floaters, retinal tears, retinal detachment, macular hole, macular pucker, and more. All of our retina specialists and surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology and are fellowship-trained members of the American Society of Retina Specialists. With 11 offices located throughout Northern California, we are easily accessible to patients from Chico, Sacramento, Modesto, and everywhere in between. Since 1975, Retinal Consultants Medical Group has provided outstanding retina care to thousands of patients. Sometimes, lattice is treated pre-operatively for other types of eye surgery.Ī large hole is present within this area of lattice degeneration. Lattice with and without atrophic holes is often not treated, unless the lattice is associated with early sub-retinal fluid, or is found in the other eye in a patient who has suffered a previous retinal detachment. If there are horseshoe-shaped retinal tears associated with lattice degeneration, they are treated thermally with either laser or cryotherapy. Does lattice degeneration require treatment? In this photo, the surgeon is gently pressing in on the eye in order to enhance the view of the small hole within an area of lattice degeneration. This thinning of the retina and the abnormal vitreous attachment predisposes these areas to tear when the vitreous gel pulls on the retina.Īrrows in this photo indicate the edge of lattice degeneration as viewed by your doctor. The retina within lattice is exceptionally thin and the vitreous jelly is abnormally adherent to the edges of the lesions. The clinical appearance is that of circumferentially oriented cigar-shaped areas of retinal whitening and/or pigmentation seen in the anterior retina. What does lattice look like on examination? ![]() No one knows for sure whether lattice increases the risk for retinal detachment following laser vision correction treatment for near sighted eyes. Commonly, the presence of lattice degeneration runs in families. Lattice is more likely to be associated with retinal detachment in near sighted eyes and eyes that have had previous surgery. Rarely, atrophic holes within lattice can lead to RD. Most of these eyes will have a horseshoe shaped retinal tear as the cause of the retinal detachment. ![]() Learn more about lattice degeneration at ASRS Why should anyone care about lattice degeneration?Įven though retinal detachment is very rare (1 in 10,000), lattice degeneration is a risk factor for retinal detachment and approximately 30% of spontaneous retinal detachments that occur in eyes without previous surgery are associated with lattice degeneration. Lattice degeneration appears as areas of peripheral retinal pigmentation and whitening, seen here between the arrows. Forty percent will have atrophic holes in the retina within these lesions. Approximately 50% of patients with lattice degeneration in one eye will have lattice degeneration in their other eye. Lattice degeneration, also called “lattice” for short, is a common form of degenerative change seen the peripheral retina that is found in 6-8% of the general population.
