![]() Installed in everything from station wagons and sports cars to commercial vehicles, boats, industrial equipment, and even (in highly modified form) in aircraft, the 350 is the most widely-used small-block engine of all time. However, it was the 350 cu in (5.7 L) series that became the best-known Chevrolet small-block. From 1954 to 1974, the small-block engine was known as the "Turbo-Fire" or "High Torque" V8. The 283 was adopted by other Chevrolet models, replacing the 265 V8s.Ī high-performance 327 cu in (5.4 L) variant followed, turning out as much as 375 hp (280 kW) (SAE gross power, not SAE net power or the current SAE certified power values) and raising horsepower per cubic inch to 1.15 hp (0.86 kW). Fitted with the optional Rochester mechanical fuel injection (FI) and a Duntov high-lift camshaft, it was one of the first production engines to produce 1 hp (0.7 kW) per 1 cu in (16.4 cc). By 1957 the engine had grown to 283 cu in (4.6 L). The engine quickly gained popularity among stock car racers, and was nicknamed the " Mighty Mouse," after the then-popular cartoon character, later abbreviated to "Mouse". The first generation of Chevrolet small-blocks began with the 1955 Chevrolet 265 cu in (4.3 L) V8 offered in the Corvette and Bel Air. ![]() Īll first- and second-generation Chevrolet small-block V8 engines share the same firing order of 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. In February 2008, a Wisconsin businessman reported that his 1991 Chevrolet C1500 pickup had logged over one million miles without any major repairs to its small-block V8 engine. The small-block family line was honored as one of the 10 Best Engines of the 20th Century by automotive magazine Ward's AutoWorld. In all, over 100,000,000 small-blocks had been built in carbureted and fuel injected forms since 1955 as of November 29, 2011. įinally superseded by the Generation III LS in 1997 and discontinued in 2003, the engine is still made by a GM subsidiary in Springfield, MO as a crate engine for replacement and hot rodding purposes. ![]() Over the years, every GM division in America, except Saturn and Geo, used it and its descendants in their vehicles. Introduced as a performance engine in 1967, the 350 went on to be employed in both high- and low-output variants across the entire Chevrolet product line.Īlthough all of Chevrolet's siblings of the period ( Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and Holden) designed their own V8s, it was the Chevrolet 305 and 350 cu in (5.0 and 5.7 L) small-block that became the GM corporate standard. ![]() Among the intermediate displacements were the 283 cu in (4.6 L), 327 cu in (5.4 L), and numerous 350 cu in (5.7 L) versions. Production of the original small-block began in late 1954 for the 1955 model year, with a displacement of 265 cu in (4.3 L), growing over time to 400 cu in (6.6 L) by 1970. Later generation engines have only the rod bearings, transmission-to-block bolt pattern and bore spacing in common with the Generation I and II engines. The Generation II engine is largely an improved version of the Generation I, having many interchangeable parts and dimensions. Generation I and Generation II LT engines are distinct from subsequent LS-based small-block engines. The engine block and cylinder heads were cast at Saginaw Metal Casting Operations in Saginaw, Michigan. Engineer Ed Cole is credited with leading the design for this engine. Referred to as a "small-block" for its size relative to the physically much larger Chevrolet big-block engines, the small block family spanned from 262 cu in (4.3 L) to 400 cu in (6.6 L) in displacement. The Chevrolet small-block engine is a series of gasoline-powered V8 automobile engines, produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors between 19, using the same basic engine block.

While most studies on the effects of binaural beats have been small, there are several that provide evidence that this auditory illusion does indeed have health benefits, especially related to anxiety, mood, and performance. Is there any research to support the claims? You may also want to listen with your eyes closed. Remember, you must use headphones for binaural beats to work. For example, if you’re experiencing high levels of anxiety or stress, you may want to listen to the audio for a full hour or longer. You can experiment with the length of time you listen to the binaural beats to find out what works for you. Listening to the binaural beat audio for at least 30 minutes each day in your headphones ensures that the rhythm is entrained (has fallen into synchronization) throughout the brain. When listening to binaural beats, it’s best to sit in a comfortable place free of distractions. ![]() Binaural beats of 40 Hz were found to be helpful in enhancing training and learning, according to a 2020 study.Binaural beats in the lower beta frequencies (14 to 30 Hz) have been linked to increased concentration and alertness, problem-solving, and improved memory. ![]()
MRI can detect underlying causes of secondary hemorrhages, such as vascular malformations, including cavernomas, tumors, and cerebral vein thrombosis.Įxtravasation of contrast in CT angiogram (CTA) indicates ongoing bleeding associated with fatality. MRI can distinguish between the hemorrhagic transformation of infarct and primary hemorrhage. Gradient echo (GRE) imaging is as good as CT in detecting acute bleed. The paramagnetic properties of deoxyhemoglobin allow early detection of hemorrhage in MRI. The other poor prognostic factors are hematoma expansion, intraventricular hemorrhage, infra-tentorial location, and contrast extravasation on CT scan (spot sign). Intracerebral hemorrhage with a volume of more than 60 ml is associated with high mortality. C is the vertical height of the hematoma. The volume of the hematoma can be measured by the formula AxBxC/2, where A and B are the largest diameter and the diameter perpendicular to that. In the subacute phase, the hematoma may be isodense to brain tissue, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may be necessary. These sequences are more sensitive than CT for identification of prior hemorrhage. However, gradient echo and T2* susceptibility-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has the same sensitivity as CT to detect acute hemorrhage. Vasogenic edema around the hematoma may increase for up to 2 weeks. CT is considered the “gold standard” in detecting acute hemorrhage due to its sensitivity. The attenuation may be decreased in anemia and coagulopathy. The hemorrhage increases in attenuation from 30-60 Hounsfield units (HU) in the hyperacute phase to 80 to 100 HU over hours. Ĭomputerized tomography (CT) is usually the initial investigation. There is diffuse blood distribution in non-perimesencephalic SAH (NPM-SAH). Physical exertion, such as the Valsalva maneuver producing increased intrathoracic pressure, and elevated intracranial venous pressure, is a predisposing factor for perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal SAH (PM-SAH). In perimesencephalic SAH, bleeding is mainly in the interpeduncular cistern. Non-aneurysmal spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage may be either perimesencephalic or non-perimesencephalic SAH. Cerebellar hematoma produces hydrocephalus by compression of the fourth ventricle in the early stage. The factors causing deterioration in ICH are an expansion of hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, perihematomal edema, and inflammation. There is an area of hypoperfusion around the hematoma. ![]() The perihematomal edema increases within 24 hours, peaks around 5 to 6 days, and lasts up to 14 days. The enlargement of hematoma occurs in 3 hours in one-third of cases. Usually, the hematoma enlarges in 3 hours to 12 hours. Secondary injury is contributed to by inflammation, disruption of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), edema, overproduction of free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutamate-induced excitotoxicity, and release of hemoglobin and iron from the clot. The primary injury is due to the compression of brain tissue by the hematoma and an increase in the intracranial pressure(ICP). Thrombin activates microglia and causes inflammation and edema. This results in oligaemia, neuro-transmitter release, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular swelling. The hematoma disrupts the neurons and glia. The common sites of the bleed are the basal ganglia (50%), cerebral lobes (10% to 20%), the thalamus (15%), pons and the brain stem (10% to 20%), and the cerebellum(10%)(fig.1,2,3). ![]() Let’s take a look at some of the most notable Google Keep features: ![]() How I use Google Keep to make notes and listsįurthermore, all your data can be synchronized across devices, if you have the app installed. This allows me to find what I need at any time. In the screenshot below, you can see how I created five different notes for five different purposes - from a work-related one to a to-do list to remind me what groceries I need to buy when I go to the supermarket. If you often keep a large number of notes and you’re constantly shifting between tasks, Google Keep’s color-coding system will surely be of help to you. Moreover, you can even take notes by making voice memos that are later transcribed. Its primary function is to help you take notes and create to-do lists, but you can also save images and pages and then add notes to them. Google Keep is an excellent Chrome extension for keeping all your data neatly organized. Seemingly a basic app with few features compared to some bigger apps, Google Keep still manages to satisfy everyone’s needs. Google Keep allows you to make notes and lists, and quickly record what’s on your mind.
![]() The main point is that while he has some good lines that make you reflect deeply on your life situations and what does it mean to be trapped on this flinging ball of rock flying through the sky that could die at any moment from human creations or not, he just doesn't the same "Ha ha ha" that the top 3 do.Īnother main problem is that he comes in at Dimension 6, at this point it seems like the devs can't make any more lore at this point and just use lines you'd be like "Oh, of course he would say that". The amount of comical points in this guys journey is astounding and I'd love to see more of him, but I have to put him as the highest B tier for a few reasons. Compared to the last three he's a friken feast. It seems they just state it once in like the first text box and I accidentally skipped over it.Īnyways, in the 6th dimension is the Wizard of the Dark Lady, and OH BOY is this one a treat. If someone would tell me the name of this wizard, that would be astounding. This is why I rate him a B aswell, for better then average, but theres still improvement to be the best boomer wizard. I put him above Plurwin and Gerwin while because he does have his boomer ways, at least thats something that sets him apart, unlike Plurwin and he's not just trying to get rid of us completely like Gerwin. ![]() He's just a complete reject, but the thing is he isn't completely flawed. He was probably like "Eh, back in my day we didn't use magic, we strangled Dementors with our bare hands". Honestly, don't even know how he got his wizarding degree. While, there are some good ways to make a boomer wizard (See rank number 3), Ferwin is just the lesser of the boomers. 5th: Ferwinįerwin, or boomer as I like to call him seems to be the grump of the group. The other wizards just seemed to step it up, but plurwin seems like a step back, especially from the number one spot. You'd think at a point where you're getting to dimension 4, the bosses should get a bit harder and the wizards should be more helpful and a good personality, but Plurwin is the outlier, being one of only 2 out of 4 wizards dimension 4 - 7 to recieve a B rank from me. Honestly with the lack of resources online, being hidden from the public about these wizards and their personalities, it's a bit hard to reserach about some of the lesser known ones, but Plurwin just didn't work at all. You know with all my heart I could say frik plurwin, while being above Gerwin, that isnt a high bar. He did just what he was supposed to, but nothing more and nothing that should make him special or rememberable. If I had to give him a letter grade, he gets a C, for average. This is why I put him in last place, while the first dimension has the least amount of floors and your characters didn't do much to climb all the way to dark lord, he still want's to just get rid of you. The main downside to him though is when he talks about "That adventurer look in your eyes", he sounds like he just wants to stay with his own and chill out, not helping you get through the dungeons or defeat dark lords. He helps you out getting a portal and getting to the next dimension for the first time. Gerwin, he seems to be a nice introduction in the first dimension. Watch out, spoilers about all the wizards ahead (Duh), as I rank them from worst to best. 6th Dimension: Dark Ladies Wizard I never got the name of.Attract valuable classes such as the Thief, Knight, Healer, Darkmage, Shifter, and more.Now, this might be a giant controversial topic, arguing over which Wizard is the best in a virtual game in which they seem to all be identical, but trust me we'll traverse through this with care and precision.

Think about the social skills that can be targeted while following and giving multiple skill-driven directions – don’t forget to either simply say the direction or add, “Simon Says” to give kiddos the true direction to DO vs. Target whatever area you need to with children based on their goals and you’ve got a fun time with focus! With therapy equipment, range of motion, muscle strengthening, and spatial relationships.Think about the OT skills that can be facilitated with this game: This is a great modification to help children that need this type of support to be successful during play or even those who are new to learning how to play the game. If a child struggles with verbal or processing skills, consider the use of a visual choice board, like this one by Panda Speech Therapy, that displays someone speaking coupled with a visual that demonstrates the action that Simon Says to do. saying, “Simon Says spin around and then clap your hands”, see the difference? This will help a child focus on one skill at a time and then build from there as they age or become better at following multiple directions. Think about saying something like, “Simon Says clap your hands” vs. Give them simple commands that have few words and one step. Younger students or those working to improve the cognitive skill of following sequences can improve these areas with certain adaptations. Think about each child and what kind of commands you may need to give them to help them play successfully. Simon Says is actually a really great game for executive functioning skills, and specifically a game to The players that did not complete the incorrect action (Simon didn’t say “Simon Says”!) stay in the game or do not lose a token or tally chip/tally mark.Įasy, right? Not too fast friends! A child’s (and adults’) attention, impulsivity, and patience can play a role in their ability to listen, act, and wait while playing this game.Other players: Correctly do not follow the direction and do not hop on one foot.The players that completed the incorrect action (Simon didn’t say “Simon Says”!) are out of the game or lose a token or tally chip/tally mark.Other players: Incorrectly follow the direction and hop on one foot.The players that did not complete the correct action are out of the game or can stay in the game and lose a token or tally chip/tally mark.Other players: Incorrectly do not follow the direction.The players that completed the correct action stay in the game or can stay in the game and do not lose a token or tally chip/tally mark.Other playe rs: Correctly follow the direction and hop on one foot.Third, the last player standing or the player with the last chip or tally stroke is the winner. ![]() If they DO NOT follow one of the stated Simon Says commands, they are out or lose a stroke or chip too. If a player follows that direction and completes the movement when “Simon” doesn’t say “Simon Says”, they are out of the game or can lose one of their tally strokes or chips that is given to each player before play. Second, the game has a trick with it, Simon MUST preface the command by saying, “Simon Says”, or the command is NOT to be followed. (There are many targeted goal areas identified with commands listed later in the post.) If you’ve never heard of Simon Says or don’t have a clue what it is, it’s a fun game that is easy to implement in any location.įirst, you identify one player for the role of Simon and that player will give the other players commands for actions to perform.

![]() Allow the stain to set overnight and apply a second coat if necessary. Working in small circular motions, apply a thin and even coat to the area and use a brush or cloth to buff it in. Using a stain formulated specifically for wood, apply a coat of stain to the wood putty. Wipe the sanded area with damp cloth and let dry. Once dry, begin staining by lightly sanding the putty with a fine grit sandpaper to smooth out bumps, valleys, and other surface imperfections. Allow the putty to dry for several hours or overnight before staining. Use a spatula, putty knife, or your finger to apply the putty into the desired area and give it a smooth and even finish. Once the putty is purchased and opened, knead the putty by hand for several minutes to warm it up and make it easier to work with. If possible, take a sample from the wood and use it as a reference to select the correct color. Staining wood putty is not a difficult task and only requires a few simple tools to achieve a professional finish.īegin by selecting a wood putty that matches the color of the existing wood and grain. The putty is typically composed of wood particles, pigment, resins, and oils that are pressed and kneaded together until workable. It is designed to be used for fill-in knots and cracks in exterior or interior wood work where the putty blends in with the existing color and grain of the wood. Stainable wood putty is a type of wood filler designed to match the color of the surrounding wood and provide a smooth, even finish when stained. Allow the stain to dry for the manufacturer’s recommended time and seal with a topcoat for best results. To apply the stain, lightly dip a cloth in the stain and work it into the wood filler in long strokes. ![]() If the color isn’t quite a match, use a different color of stain or mix two or more colors of stain together to achieve the desired color. Look for wood fillers labeled “stainable,” which are blended with more pigment to make it easier to achieve a better color match with the rest of the wood surface.įor best results, make sure the wood filler is completely dry before staining and test the color of the stain on an inconspicuous area first. Almost any wood filler can be stained, but some wood fillers are formulated specifically to take stain. check_circle □ INSPIRATIONAL GIFT IDEA - Click 'Add to Cart' now and make our tuning fork medical for healing chakra set a unique gift for those who practice alternative therapies and more!”ĭid you know that similar to a musical instrument, your body can also fall out of tune?.check_circle ✨ COMPLETE KIT - 1 mallet and 3 tuning forks medical with the most important frequencies and are commonly used for healing-and 128Hz, 256Hz, 512Hz.Slip it in your bag or storage pouch and carry it with you wherever you go. check_circle □ TRAVEL FRIENDLY - Our tuning fork medical are made of durable material with a compact and ergonomic design that you can use anytime and anywhere.check_circle □ TRANSFORMATIONAL TOOL - Ideal for subtle energy work, tracing meridian lines, balancing energy centers, drawing Reiki symbols, clearing crystals, cleaning living space, aligning your 7 body chakras, DNA repair healing, sound healing, and playing with pets.Each one produces a certain frequency for different specific purposes. check_circle □♀️ MULTIFUNCTIONAL TUNING FORK - Whether it's for musical or health use, our tuning fork medical are great multifunctional tools that you can maximize for a wide range of uses.check_circle GIVE BACK WITH EVERY PURCHASE - By purchasing our Palo Santo sticks, you'll be supporting our efforts to donate 1% of profits to organizations that work to plant and grow trees.check_circle LOVELY GIFT PACKAGING - Our Palo Santo sticks come beautifully presented in a gift box, making them a thoughtful and meaningful gift for any spiritual or meditation enthusiast.check_circle PROMOTE RELAXATION AND MEDITATION - The calming and grounding aroma of our Palo Santo sticks is perfect for promoting relaxation and aiding in meditation practices.check_circle VALUE FOR MONEY - Each box contains 20 sticks, giving you double the amount you'll find in other boxes, making it a great value for money.check_circle ETHICALLY SOURCED - Our Palo Santo sticks are sustainably and ethically sourced from Peru, where they are collected from fallen trees after their life cycle has ended.check_circle CLEANSE AND PROTECT YOUR SPACE - Use our 100% natural and authentic Palo Santo sticks to purify and protect your home, office, or meditation space from negative energy. ![]() Your data should now sync across and appear properly in the program at this time.If you have existing data you wish to keep in place in the program, leave this item unchecked.
