![]() The first audio companion I bought at a big discount was Pride and Prejudice. ![]() But there are lots of good deals to be found. Many audio companions cost $12.99 many ebooks cost in the double digits. Not every book is Whispersync-enabled, and not all of those are good deals. Once I figured out how this Whispersync thing worked, I went searching for great deals. If I can beat $12.46/credit, it’s worth buying the ebook and audiobook together, even if I’m not planning on ever reading the ebook. Platinum Annual: 24 credits at once - $9.56 per credit Gold Annual: 12 credits at once - $12.46 per credit (my current plan) Gold: 1 credit/month - $14.95 per credit (my old plan) Here’s what Audible’s memberships look like right now: That makes your total purchase $5.98.Ĭompare this to the $14.95 I paid per credit for the audiobook alone with my Audible membership. If you buy the ebook, you can add the Audible audiobook for $3.99. Right now, Outlander #1 is on sale for $1.99 for Kindle. It doesn’t make sense, but it’s true: even if you have no intention of reading the ebook, sometimes buying the Kindle book plus the audio saves you serious money. I wish I’d known how to use the service then. I could have spent more time reading, instead of searching for my place. ![]() (Giant disclaimer here: read the reviews before you start the Outlander books.) But some of the later books stopped at seemingly random one-hour intervals, and it drove me crazy.) (For most of the books, it wasn’t too hard to stop at a chapter break. But I didn’t use Whispersync-I didn’t know it existed-and I spent a lot of time trying to find my place. Last fall when I raced through the Outlander books, I switched back and forth between the Kindle and audio versions so I could get through the books faster. It’s called Whispersync for Voice, and it allows you to switch back and forth between reading the Kindle book and listening to the audio version without losing your place. I’m kicking myself for not figuring it out sooner (it’s been around for a couple of years), so I wanted to make amends by filling you in as soon as possible. I’ve finally figured out how to use a great service that makes it even easier-and cheaper-to listen to audiobooks with Audible. I love audiobooks, and Audible is my favorite way to listen to them.

I bring my 20mm f/1.8 when I'm travelling light instead of the 16-35mm VR. None of Sony, Canon, or Fuji make a lens this wide and fast it's also ideal for photographing the Milky Way. If you want a really fast lens in an even smaller package than either of these, Nikon's 20mm f/1.8G AF-S is a unique ultra-speed ultrawide. I find the 16-35mm a little sharper and much smaller and much more practical, but consider the 14-24mm if you need f/2.8 or 14mm. The Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 AF-S is the precursor to the 16-35mm VR. I've shot a lot of fixed 24mm, 20mm, 18mm, 17mm, 15mm and 14mm lenses in my days, and this zoom is sharper. ![]() The 16-35mm is sharp, sharp, sharp, even wide open, and even in the corners. The only other lens I sometimes carry with my 28-300mm is my 16-35mm VR: Nikon D850, Nikon 28-300mm VR at 36mm at f/8 hand held at 1/20 at Auto ISO 400, Perfectly Clear v3.5. Vivid Yellow Tree by the Merced River, Yosemite Valley, October 2017. Not only does this lens let me leave my bag home, I can leave my tripod home, too. If you need anything longer, you'll get better photos by getting closer with the 28-300mm VR than you will by using a longer lens like the 600mm VR from farther away.Īs you can see, VR works great, letting me get ultrasharp results hand-held at 1/20 of a second. The only thing it doesn't do is replace an ultra-wide lens like the 16-35mm VR, or allow us to shoot sports in dim light like the 70-200mm f/2.8 VR FL. The 28-300mm VR replaces all the lenses we used to haul around. Look at my Nikon 28-300mm sample images and see for yourself: While people who haven't shot it don't trust that it's sharp, it's newer and sharper than all the fixed lenses I used to haul around, and I can get any focal length with a twist of my wrist. ![]() It lets me get rid of my old fashioned " camera bag" full of lenses that I used to carry. Check Price.Īs a guy who's owned probably every Nikon lens ever made, even for Nikon's 1940s-1960s rangefinder cameras, I'm astonished at how this one lens replaces every other lens I used to use, with the exception of ultra-ultra wides. I can't vouch for ads below.īest Lenses for FX DSLRs ( D850, D780, D610 etc.) topįor Nikon FX DSLRs. ![]() The experimental protocol was approved by the Canterbury Ethics Committee of the Ministry of Health (New Zealand). We have undertaken serial measurements of plasma NP and used infusions of ANP and BNP before and after the introduction of BB to elucidate the effects of introducing BB on plasma levels, plasma clearance, and biological activity of the NPs. In such patients, it also is possible to safely introduce BB within a practical length of time according to a relatively rapid and standardized titration schedule. The setting of stable and mild HF, without major comorbidity, provides the best opportunity to accurately characterize the effect of introducing BB because results are less likely to be confounded by episodes of clinical instability and/or the need to alter other drugs that influence plasma NP levels. 20–30 The reported responses are widely divergent, presumably reflecting differences between specific β-blockers and the effects of dose and duration of treatment and clinical state. The effect of BB on plasma NP has been reported in population-based studies, 15 in healthy control subjects, 16 during exercise, in hypertension, 17,18 in coronary disease, 19 and in HF. It is also possible that effects on NP levels may mediate some of the beneficial effects of BB in congestive heart failure. The effect of introducing BB therapy on plasma levels and biological actions of BNP may well be relevant to the use of plasma BNP measurements in the diagnosis, risk stratification, and titration of therapy. As general clinical practice alters to meet treatment guidelines based on evidence from the randomized controlled clinical trials, BB is being introduced in many cases of stable, mild HF. ![]() 11–14 BB is now indicated in all symptomatic HF, including patients who are stable with mild (NYHA class II) symptoms. Β-Blockade (BB) has become standard therapy in HF after trials showing a reduction in mortality in all NYHA classes of systolic HF. Clinicians should be aware that the introduction of metoprolol causes a rise in plasma BNP/NTproBNP that is unrelated to deterioration in clinical status and must be considered when measurements are undertaken for risk stratification or titration of treatment. Natriuretic responses to NP infusions are sustained with β-blockade despite reduced renal perfusion pressure. The early plasma half-life (t½α) of BNP was prolonged by metoprolol (5.6☐.45 to 11☑.3 versus 5.7☐.8 to 6.6☑.3 minutes in control subjects P=0.019).Ĭonclusions- Plasma cardiac natriuretic peptide levels increase significantly with the introduction of metoprolol in heart failure as a result of effects on secretion and clearance. The levels of the noninfused natriuretic peptide were increased by both ANP and BNP infusions, and this effect was enhanced by metoprolol. The natriuretic responses to ANP and BNP infusions were sustained with the introduction of metoprolol despite reduced renal perfusion pressure. Plasma natriuretic peptides (BNP, NTproBNP, ANP, and NTproANP) were increased by metoprolol ( P<0.01 for all). Methods and Results- Sixteen men with mild, stable heart failure (NYHA class II to III left ventricular ejection fraction <40%) underwent serial blood sampling for plasma natriuretic peptide levels and received infusions of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and BNP before and 6 weeks after the introduction and uptitration of metoprolol or 6 weeks unchanged therapy in a randomized, parallel-group design. Customer Service and Ordering Informationīackground- The effect of β-blockade on the cardiac natriuretic peptides is poorly understood but could contribute to their beneficial treatment effect and may be relevant to clinical use of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)/N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) measurements in risk stratification and in titration of anti–heart failure therapy.Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology. ![]()

When it comes to gaming, ultrawide monitors can offer massive benefits due to the broader field of view. Moreover, a 16:9 aspect ratio is very versatile as it can decently display both 4:3 and 21:9 content. However, it also depends on what type of content you are watching as well as your personal preference.ġ6:9 is the most widespread aspect ratio as it is used for the most common monitor and TV resolutions, including 1920×1080 and 4K. Most of the time, the best aspect ratio will be whatever your display’s native screen resolution/aspect ratio is. Grid Autosport, I would say, disappointed me as well, unfortunately.

There are also several monitors with a 32:9 aspect ratio, or ‘Super UltraWide.’ Most monitors and TVs today have an aspect ratio of 16:9 (Widescreen), and we are seeing more and more gaming monitors getting a 21:9 aspect ratio, also referred to as UltraWide. The higher the first number compared to the last number, the wider the screen will be compared to the height. This is essentially just the ratio between the width and height of the display. Suspension - Damage makes the car less precise and visually with a lot more roll. When buying a new PC monitor or perhaps a TV screen, you’ll stumble on the specification called “Aspect Ratio.” Wondering what this means? It’s noted in the form of W:H, which is interpreted as W pixels in width for every H pixel in height.

Not a very flattering photo, but to show you the effect of the Blot powder I had to get up close and personal. ![]() I gently tap the puff on the surface of the powder to get some product on, and then dab on the areas of my skin where I want the shine gone. And I continue doing so to this very day! It's convenient, and after trying other application methods, I think it's what gives me the best results. I bought my first MAC Blot Powder long before I started collecting makeup brushes, so I would apply it using the little puff that comes in the compact. It helps my foundation last a lot longer, since it absorbs the oil that would otherwise break it down. It works great to keep my T-zone matte in the summer, but it's also perfect to mattify a hydrating foundation that looks too dewy. The compact is small enough to be carried around in my purse for touch-ups throughout the day. It doesn't just remove the shine immediately, it also controls oil for several hours. The MAC Blot Powder/Pressed is perfect for touching up combination and oily skin without adding any extra colour.With a sheer finish, the skin remains shine-free and natural-looking and not ashy or chalky. I think that by removing all shine it basically makes my skin look "flatter". My pores look smaller and fine lines less visible when I use it. Besides removing shine, it also blurs texture. It's basically weightless, so it never makes my foundation look cakey by adding an extra layer. You couldn't tell I'm wearing powder, I just look matte. Despite removing shine so effectively it doesn't look dry or powdery, it's actually completely invisible on my skin. It doesn't just soften it, it makes it disappear for a true matte velvety finish. Here's what makes the MAC Blot Powder Pressed a longtime favorite of mine, and still the best mattifying powder I've ever tried: It is definitely the one beauty product I have repurchased the most! I think it was the very first MAC product I ever purchased, and more than 15 years later it's still a staple in my makeup collection. Several people on the forums I was then reading recommended the brand's Blot Powder in its pressed version to mattify the skin, and that's how this little black compact got into my life. When I started getting really into makeup a long, long time ago, MAC was still the number one brand for beauty enthusiasts. Not only do I hate looking like a greasy mess, I also noticed that I breakout a lot more if I don't keep the oil under control. Still, I do get the dreaded shiny forehead, nose and chin when the weather gets hot! And don't even get me started on how most sunscreens turn my face into a grease ball - I know I absolutely need SPF but it's really hard to find one that doesn't make me oily. I used to have oily skin when I was younger, but nowadays it is more normal to combination depending on the season. How do you keep your skin looking matte and fresh through the summer? Here's my (not so) secret weapon to eradicate oily shine: MAC Blot Powder Pressed, a staple in my makeup bag. Most of us get oilier skin than usual when the temperatures or humidity levels rise, and keeping our T-zone matte is a constant battle. One of the most common beauty concerns in the summer is greasy, shiny skin. ![]() Bryan is really passionate about both and plans on running them his entire life and has made many accomplishments already. Track involves sprinting over short distances or running over long distances, while cross country is done on any kind of surface for long distances and requires endurance. Track and field is a lot different than cross country. In the spring, Bryan also plans on running track and field for Truman State. ![]() “At the conference meet for cross country, senior year, he was thrown down to the ground in the middle of the race by an opponent and he jumped up, ran to the front and won the conference championship,” Martin said. He had many outstanding moments, but Martin can remember his most impressive. He was really devoted to the sport and it paid off in the end by landing him a scholarship at Truman State. ![]() “My training in high school really prepared me for college in a way, because it helped me build up to what I’m doing now.”Ī big part of training is done off season, so Bryan spent a lot of time over the summer and during the off season training. “Running at North helped me learn how to R.F.E.A., run fast every afternoon,” Chac said. Kimberly Martin, Chac’s coach at FHN, can recall how he was very quiet freshman year but was one of the hardest workers on the team. Track and cross country have always been his main sports, ever since he was influenced to join the cross country team after his brother ran on the team all through high school. He ran cross country all four years at FHN. “I feel like my life would be a lot different without it.” “I’m just happy that I get to continue running,” Chac said. He has been engaged in these sports since middle school. He now gets to run cross country and track at Truman State, where he is a Bulldog instead of a Knight.
