Overgrowth of yeast6/20/2023 ![]() We also have to consider where the gut mycobiome originates. Overall, any gut mycobiome study requires careful and detailed experimental design. We would also need to perform stool measures not typically performed in the clinic to better correlate fungal overgrowth with GI-related symptoms. For instance, what is the gut mycobiome composition among people not suffering from GI-related symptoms? Efforts to answer these questions would require longitudinal sample collection to account for the high turnover of microbes in the GI tract. The few studies that have examined the human gut mycobiome expose the need to answer basic questions about the fungal components of the gut microbiome. ![]() Studying the gut mycobiome for further insights So, it’s not yet clear whether mycobiome differences exist across populations with IBS. A smaller study done on a Dutch cohort, on the other hand, detected significantly reduced total fungal diversity among IBS patients 4. However, no significant differences in the number of fungal species were observed between IBS patients and volunteers. This effort revealed DNA sequences belonging to many fungal species. In line with this movement, my colleagues at Cork investigated the fungal members of the gut microbiome – that is, the gut mycobiome – in the guts of patients diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) 3 to ascertain whether there was any correlation with symptoms. The gut microbiome has taken centre stage in common discourse about gut health. However, the lack of documentation of response to an antifungal treatment protocol makes it difficult to attribute the observed symptoms to the presence of fungal organisms. A study examining small intestinal fungal overgrowth identified instances of fungal overgrowth among 150 patients with unexplained symptoms 2. Other studies on the matter lack the clinical evidence to conclude that fungal infections drive GI disease. These patients suffered from chronic illness, underwent intense antimicrobial treatment or chemotherapy, and faced severe outcomes such as dehydration-and clinicians consistently identified the growth of Candida albicans in the patient fecal samples. One study published in the 90s reported 10 patients hospitalized with severe diarrhea 1. Regardless, instances of documented Candida infection in the GI tract remain few in number. Immunocompromised patients also face a greater risk of Candidiasis and Candidemia-these include HIV patients patients undergoing chemotherapy transplant patients and patients suffering from malnutrition.įungal infections are rare in the GI tract Patients taking oral or inhaled steroids may develop Candida infections in the oropharynx and esophagus. Fungal infections, from Candida or other fungi, frequently occur on the nails or skin. This is not to say that fungal infections do not take place in the body. Much of the misinformation I encounter on Candida infections focuses on selling a story that encourages people to blame Candida overgrowth as the cause of their symptoms and undertake expensive or complicated dietary and supplement regimens to “cure” the infection. In a 2021 ISAPP presentation on the gut mycobiome, I provided a clinical perspective on fungal infections and the related evidence base. Some articles aim to counter the hype – for example, an article titled “Is gut Candida overgrowth actually real, and do Candida diets work?” Yet patients are too often confused about the evidence on Candida and other fungi in the GI tract. Even cookbooks exist with recipes specifically tailored to “cure” someone of Candida infection through dietary changes. Their insistence is perhaps not surprising, given how many many websites and social media ‘gurus’ share lists of symptoms supposedly tied to Candida infections. Patients experiencing a range of symptoms, including digestive problems, sometimes believe they have an overgrowth of Candida in their gastrointestinal (GI) tract and want to know what to do about it. ![]() Eamonn Quigley, MD, The Methodist Hospital and Weill Cornell School of Medicine, HoustonĪs a gastroenterologist, I frequently meet with patients who are adamant that a Candida infection is the cause of their ailments. ![]()

Expedat droplet6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Note: You won’t be charged software fees for 21 days, but the usual AWS infrastructure fees apply. Go to the AWS Marketplace page for the ExpeDat Gateway for Amazon S3 trial.Launch the ExpeDat Gateway for Amazon S3 (server) For convenience, we’ve placed a copy of the data in an Amazon S3 bucket in ap-northeast-1: s3://accel-file-tx-demo-tokyo. We’ ll move this 650GB compressed dataset over the Internet from an Amazon EC2 instance in the AWS Tokyo Region (ap-northeast-1) to an ExpeDat S3 Gateway “free trial” Amazon EC2 instance launched from the AWS Marketplace into the AWS N. The ExpeDat S3 Gateway runs on an Amazon EC2 instance, which can be set up in a couple of minutes.įor this example, we’ll use the same dataset that we used in the earlier blog post: the Wikipedia Traffic Statistics V2 from AWS Public Data Sets. This product can transmit ~300GB per hour and is available as a monthly subscription. One of the easiest ways to get started with ExpeDat is to install the ExpeDat Gateway for Amazon S3 via the AWS Marketplace. The ExpeDat S3 Gateway product can also automatically stream data into Amazon S3 – data never touches Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) or ephemeral storage, but instead lives only in memory as it’s transmitted via the ExpeDat gateway on Amazon EC2 to the bucket of your choice in Amazon S3. If lower-level integration is required, SDKs are available. ![]() ExpeDat also has Object Handlers that let you integrate with any external script or program, making automation easy to set up. Unlike Tsunami UDP, ExpeDat is an actively maintained and fully supported product that employs AES encryption and has lightweight, cross-platform clients with GUIs. It also provides features that make moving large amounts of data into Amazon S3 from on-premises or Amazon EC2 instances in other regions a seamless experience. And Tsunami UDP doesn’t support native Amazon S3 integration, so transfers must first be terminated on an Amazon Elastic Cloud Compute (Amazon EC2) instance and then re-transmitted to Amazon S3 manually using tools like the AWS CLI.ĮxpeDat, by Data Expedition Inc., addresses these shortfalls. In addition, due to the lack of an SDK or plugins, Tsunami UDP can be hard to automate for tasks like creating watch folders with complex rules. It’s also a single-threaded application that hasn’t been updated since 2009 and commercial support is not available. It doesn’t support native encryption-important to know if you’re working with sensitive data. Tsunami UDP has no software license fees and is easy to set up, but it has drawbacks. From there, using the multipart upload functionality built into the AWS CLI, we moved the data into Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Specifically, we showed how you can use it to move data quickly into Amazon EC2 from another instance in a distant AWS Region. Matt Yanchyshyn is a Principal Solutions Architect with Amazon Web Services IntroductionĪ previous blog post ( Moving Big Data Into the Cloud with Tsunami UDP) discussed how Tsunami UDP is a fast and easy way to move large amounts of data to and from AWS. ![]()

Geometry dash world full version6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() On the other hand, it has very impressive levels. I and many others would appreciate if you would tone down the ads, so as to not show them during levels. I know I should have expected it, as it's free, but it really messes the flow of gameplay up. The ads have also gotten worse across games. If the items are only unlockable in geometry dash, why even display them? It doesn't make much sense to me. Why are there so many things that are only unlockable in the full version of geometry dash. Please read this and fix these! Thank you! ![]() But the problems I’ve mentioned are bothersome and need fixing. Please get rid of them in any future updates.ĭon’t get me wrong I love the game as a whole with all its features and introductory purposes. The only way to get rid of them is to die enough to pause the level, exit, and re-enter, and then a few attempts/levels later it’s back. It’s distracting, unremovable, and covers the pause button, so you have to die repeatedly to get it to pause, which takes ultimately around 20-26 attempts to happen and has an ad in front of it. I’m fine with the short, video-like ads, but there are ads in World that are huge and slapped on the top of the level. The full version and SubZero both either rarely or don’t have this problem, but World is PACKED with ads. This is great for a person new to the game, but not after a while. After playing through each level a few times with around 4-15 attempts, I started to pass the full levels in up to 2 attempts. The game is super addicting, but I do have a few complaints.įirst off, the gameplay is too easy. As a beginner it’s a great introduction into the full version and each level is introductory to a new mechanic, plus the world aspect and avatars are fun. ![]() I honestly love most things about Geometry Dash: World. Oh and one other thing, I have lost other things, but was able to buy them back or just retrieve it. And also, all your other games are awesome too. Overall, this is a great game even though some people say that once you finish the main levels, there’s nothing else to do, but there is. So, RobTop, if you can please fix this bug, it would be amazing and thankful because I know I could just buy them, but the one I got was cool. Then finally, I was able to reenter the game, not only to see that my characters color was reset to how I had it before, but to see that it had removed my robot and my death affect/effect. And as I’m admiring it, my game freezes, I press the pause button to see if it’ll help, just making it even WORSE! It kicks me out of the game and doesn’t let me entry it for a couple of seconds. I let my self die a couple times to admire the coolness. I go to do “The Challenge” just for memes but also to test out the affect/effect. As I collect them, I go immediately to my character and put them on. That death effect/affect was my very first one, and a new robot from collecting 35 lava shards. I get this cool death effect/affect and a lava shard. And that’s when I got two keys, I go to the chest room and open two chest’s. I was casually playing gdw on one morning. ![]()

Twitter ceo6/20/2023 ![]() ![]() Update 5/12 3:33PM ET: Elon Musk on Friday officially confirmed that Linda Yaccarino is indeed Twitter's new CEO. Update 5/11 7:58 PM ET: This story has been updated to reflect reports that NBCU exec Linda Yaccarino is in the running for the CEO role. With his reduced role, he'll theoretically have more time to devote to his EV brand as it faces mounting competition. They've worried that Musk has been distracted from work at his best-known company by focusing on Twitter. This could assuage the fears of some Tesla investors. Don't be shocked if Twitter maintains the Musk-era status quo, at least for a while. And given that Musk played a role in finding a replacement, the new hire might not be quick to change strategy. While he'll no longer be CEO, he'll still have significant influence over Twitter's technology. It's not clear how much practical control Musk will have following the leadership shuffle. The social network has tried to shift more of its revenue toward subscriptions, but may have had only limited success. Twitter's looser content moderation policies under Musk, which have focused on limiting reach rather than bans, have earned praise from some circles but have also prompted an exodus of advertisers that don't want to risk running ads next to hate speech and misinformation. Most rank-and-file employees from before the purchase have either been laid off or quit. He made a point of firing the executive team and dissolving the board of directors. His tenure has been chaotic since it began in October. And, as AdAge recently pointed out, Yaccarino tweeted at Musk that Twitter should bring back Periscope, calling it "an idea for our new partnership."īy subscribing, you are agreeing to Engadget's Terms and Privacy Policy. NBCU also has significant partnerships with Twitter, recently renewing its partnership to host video from the 2024 Olympics on Twitter. Parag Agrawal ( Hindi pronunciation: pa al born ) 2 is an Indian-American software engineer and businessman who was the CEO of Twitter, Inc. The two have appeared together at ad industry events, and Yaccarino has spoken favorably of Musk. Incorporating Uncertainty in Data Management and Integration (2012) Doctoral advisor. Twitter didn't respond to a request for comment, but Yaccarino and Musk are apparently on good terms. ![]() Yaccarino is known for being an "industry advocate for finding better ways to measure the effectiveness of advertising," according to The Journal. As Twitter’s owner, he has put his stamp on it by eliminating. Hours after Musk's announcement, The Wall Street Journal reported that NBCUniversal advertising exec Linda Yaccarino "is in talks" to take over the CEO role at Twitter. Musk, who bought Twitter for 44 billion last year, will retain a firm grip on the company even if he names a chief executive. Musk will stay on as executive chairman and chief technical officer covering "product, software and sysops." While he hasn't identified the new leader by name, he indicated he had hired a woman for the role. He announced on Thursday that a replacement chief executive will start in roughly six weeks. ![]() I am adamant about defending free speech, even if it means losing money.Elon Musk is making good on his promise to step down as Twitter CEO following a poll. ![]() Musk replied, “I hear your concerns, but don’t judge too early. The Twitter user assumes that Yaccarino would push initiatives to limit users’ speech to appease advertisers. Elon Musk has named a new chief executive of Twitter, just over six months after his controversial takeover of the social media company. Looking forward to working with Linda to transform this platform into X, the everything app.”įollowing Musk’s message, some users expressed concern over their “freedom of speech” being violated citing an interview Yaccarino had with the Twitter owner weeks before. will focus primarily on business operations, while I focus on product design & new technology. “I am excited to welcome Linda Yaccarino as the new CEO of Twitter!” Musk tweeted. Previously, Musk made the announcement of Yaccarino’s hiring and explained how their roles would differ at the top of the company. Let’s keep the conversation going and build Twitter 2.0 together!- Linda Yaccarino May 13, 2023 I see I have some new followers□…□ I’m not as prolific as (yet!), but I’m just as committed to the future of this platform. ![]()

Low viscosity oil meaning6/19/2023 ![]() ![]() A car used in a very hot climate would need a higher number to ensure the oil does not thin too much. An engine in a colder climate where engine oil tends to become thicker because of the low temperatures would benefit from 0W or 5W. A 5W-30 engine oil will become thinner at low temperatures than a 10W-30 grade, but will still flow slower than a 0W-30 grade. The lower the number, the less the oil thickens in cold weather. The number that precedes the "W" indicates the fluid's flow at 0 degrees Fahrenheit (-17.8 degrees Celsius). In relation to engine oil, this is noted down using the usual "XW-XX" notation. This is a measure of a fluid's resistance to flow. Which factors should you take into account when choosing the right engine oil? Viscosity OEMs, moreover, are adjusting their lubrication instructions faster and faster to comply with the need for green and fuel-saving alternatives. Engines often need a different viscosity depending on the operating conditions. Next time you have a potential customer interested in learning more about AMSOIL products, try explaining the importance of viscosity and how our products outperform the competition.Often, a manufacturer will suggest one or more viscosity values for an engine such as 5W-20 or 5W-30 based on different factors including the temperature and load. The ability to retain viscosity, and therefore provide excellent protection, is a great way to differentiate our products. It helps your engine maintain horsepower and deliver long life. ![]() As the graph shows, AMSOIL Signature Series Synthetic Motor Oil fights viscosity breakdown better than the competition,¹ providing superior protection of bearings, cams and pistons. Using the right viscosity doesn’t matter if the oil doesn’t retain its viscosity despite shearing forces, extreme heat, fuel dilution and other conditions. Top-quality synthetic oils combined with high-performance viscosity modifiers result in oils that resist viscosity loss and chemical breakdown in tough operating conditions. To thicken the oil and ensure it meets viscosity requirements for both the cold-temperature requirement (the “W” rating) and the operating-temperature requirement (the second number). Base oils come in a variety of viscosities, and selecting the right combo is the starting point. Viscosity is a result of choosing the right base oil combination. Some Toyota* and Honda* engines even use 0W-16. That’s one reason many modern engines require 5W-20 or 0W-20 oil instead of the 10W-40 of yesteryear. They require lower-viscosity lubricants to ensure the oil flows fast enough at startup to fill the bearing cavities and prevent metal-to-metal contact. Newer engines, for example, are built with tighter tolerances and clearances. Don’t second guess the desired viscosityĮngineers build engines, transmissions and other components to operate best and last longest using a lubricant of a specific viscosity. This occurs when gasoline or diesel fuel blow by the piston rings and contaminate the oil in the sump. The intense pressure the oil bears as it’s forced between the cam lobes and tappets, meshing gear teeth and other components can shear its molecules, causing it to lose viscosity and fail to deliver the required Permanent viscosity loss due to mechanical shear can also affect protection. Plus, thicker lubricants don’t flow as readily at startup, especially in the cold, which reduces wear protection during cold starts. The increased internal friction also increases heat, which accelerates chemical breakdown (oxidation). A lubricant with viscosity that is too high for the application requires more energy to circulate, meaning fuel efficiency suffers. That being said, why not use 20W-50 in your car or truck instead of the 5W-20 or 5W-30 it probably takes? Consider A Balanceīalance, that’s why. Higher viscosity oils form a thicker fluid film, offering increased protection against Lubricant viscosity influences the thickness of the fluid film that forms on metal components to prevent wear. That’s why water flows more easily than honey. ![]() Lower-viscosity fluids are thinner and flow more readily than higher-viscosity fluids. While viscosity is defined as resistance to flow, people often think of it as a fluid’s thickness. Fighting off Viscosity breakdown! Let’s jump into the technical details of our products, so let’s dive in. ![]() Watch your oil gauge from start to finish of the life of the oil and there’s the AMSOIL difference. The real secrete to our formulations is after all the other additives are tweaked to maximize performance, we go back to the drawing board to put emphasis on viscosity retention. Using the right viscosity oil is vital to providing your engine the best wear protection. Viscosity is one of the most important properties of a lubricant. Lubricant viscosity affects wear protection, fuel efficiency and other critical areas of oil performance. ![]() |
