Abnormal oct eye test8/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Some patients feel a “tightening” or different sensation in their eyelids. You may also experience blurry vision, particularly if you are trying to read. Once your eyes are dilated, there is an increase in light sensitivity because the pupil is large and more light is coming through, so bring your sunglasses, or your ophthalmologist may provide some disposable shades for your use. Some individuals may experience eye dilation that lasts longer. When eyes are dilated during an eye exam, it typically takes 4-6 hours for pupils to return to normal. Once the drops are administered, it typically takes 15-30 minutes to achieve fully dilated pupils, depending on the person’s response to the medication. How Long Does it Take for the Eyes to Fully Dilate? This is achieved by placing dilated drops in the eyes. ![]() In order to see the entire retina, the pupil must be dilated. When your pupil is small, an eye doctor can see your optic nerve and macula but the view is limited. The view to the back of the eye is limited when the pupil is not dilated. Ideally, your eyes are not dilated during this test. Part of a glaucoma examination is formal visual field testing, where your peripheral, or side vision, is tested. When the angle is narrow, only portions of the drainage angle are visible, and in an acute angle-closure event, none of it is visible. When the angle is open, your ophthalmologist can see most, if not all, of your eye’s drainage system. The “angle” that is being referred to is the angle between the iris and the cornea, which are both described above. There is also an examination, called gonioscopy, which allows the doctor to examine your eye’s drainage angle with a special mirrored lens. This includes looking at the eyelids, the cornea or clear “window” front part of your eye, the iris or round colored part of your eye, and the lens, which is a major part of the eye giving it the ability to focus. Next, the eye doctor may use a special microscope called a slit lamp to examine the front of your eyes. This can be important for determining whether the visual pathways for each eye are working properly. In addition, eye doctors will examine your pupils’ responses to light prior to dilation. ![]() One of the first parts of a comprehensive eye exam is a test of your vision, and perhaps a measurement to determine an eyeglass prescription, both of which require that your eyes remain undilated. Seeing the optic nerve is a crucial part of a comprehensive eye examination.īoth dilated and undilated eye exams provide important information to an eye doctor. The eye is a beautiful organ, and it is the only place in the human body where a doctor can see a part of the central nervous system, the optic nerve. During an eye exam, a doctor will administer eye drops to increase the size of a patient’s pupils. Under normal circumstances, pupils can dilate to let in more light or in response to a variety of stimuli. Pupil dilation occurs when the opening in the center of your iris grows bigger to let in more light. The exam is critical to preventing and treating eye conditions that could potentially lead to vision loss. Pupil dilation is performed to purposefully increase the size of the pupils during an eye exam so that the eye doctor can fully examine the health of the optic nerve and retina. ![]()

Stargate a hundred days8/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() There is nothing more than meets the eye here. They say you've come through the stone ring. If not, we'd be saving the last of a people, Sir. If that's the case, we can send them home in a few days. There may only be a small number of strikes locally. We can't evacuate an entire planet, Major.Īs far as we know, these are the only descendants of a people brought to Edora by the Goa'uld thousands of years ago. I see no reason to withhold the truth from these people, Daniel Jackson.Īccording to the observations I made last night, the near miss we experienced was the just the first of hundreds of crash-sized asteroids directly in the path of Edora…P5C 768. Well, we only know that it has happened, in varying degrees of destruction every hundred and fifty years or so.Īnd it appears that is precisely the amount of time since the last impact. You see, something like this happened on my world millions of years ago and nearly wiped out all life. I'm not really sure that uh, cool, applies to this. They represent naquada dust thrown up by impact events. You see, the further down these striations we go the further back into Edora's past we travel. I figure the decay rate differential between the naquada is about a hundred and fifty years, give or take, so… Sir, I'd like to go back to Earth and input the data I collected from last night's observations into the base's mainframe. He and a young girl go there from time to time, though I don't know why. Garren can show you the way to the caves. Who's going on Daniel's little geology field trip? But there is a tale of the ancestors, that on the second day of the fire rain, there was a distant thunder, and the horizon burned as though the sun never set. Can you ever remember the fire rain striking the ground? So certain orbits in certain years must pass through a denser debris field. The problem is, the asteroid belt isn't uniform. Now as you pass through the millions of tiny rocks and particles, some of them burn up in Edora's atmosphere.Įxactly. Now it orbits your sun in a big circle like this and crosses through an asteroid belt up here at its widest point. See this bright dot? It represents your world, Edora. I'm gonna check the…geological record in the morning. I'll make some more observations tonight, Sir. Though it grows more spectacular every year. If that meteor had struck the ground instead of bouncing off the atmosphere… I was…rather concerned for a minute there, Sir. What do you think, Jack? Was it worth the effort? In our culture, you're supposed to make a wish. That's uh, that's what we call fire rain where we come from. When I was a child, my father told me that the fire rain was the tears of our ancestors, longing to be reunited.Ī falling star. I mean, unless the planet's orbit travels through a debris field like an asteroid belt, in which case… The same night every year? That doesn't make sense. How come you're sure it's gonna fall tonight? Laira, we haven't seen anything you could call fire rain these past few nights. ![]()

Making counters in infinifactory8/28/2023 ![]() Barth wanted to develop a game that has the same flavor of mechanics of SpaceChem without making a direct sequel, and turned back to the original idea of Manufactoid to build on. Though Barth did not feel this game was very good, it would help set up the mechanics of other games he developed, including the popular SpaceChem, which has the player developing manipulators to create chemical molecules. Infinifactory is considered by Zachtronic's lead developer Zach Barth as a reworking of his first game, Manufactoid, in three dimensions. Players cannot submit a puzzle to the Workshop until they can build their own factory that successfully solves the puzzle, assuring that the puzzle is solvable. The game includes support for Steam Workshop, which allows users to create their own puzzle challenges to share with other players once they have completed the game's story mode. The scores for each criterion are presented on a histogram of all players worldwide, encouraging the player to improve and optimize solutions to already-completed puzzles. The player's solution is scored on three criteria: footprint (the total floor space enclosed by the assembly line), cycles (the time taken between starting the assembly line and the requirements being met) and blocks (the number of non-platform type blocks used). Once the player has constructed an assembly line that successfully meets the delivery requirements, they can to move on to the next puzzle. The player can start the factory at any time, checking for faults and other issues should the process fail, including pausing the line to track down specific problems. The player may also be constrained by pre-set objects that may help or hinder their assembly line construction and cannot be removed. ![]() The player's view is from a first-person perspective and can be freely moved about the puzzle's landscape, including vertically by using a jetpack. ![]() This construction process is similar to other block-building games like Minecraft, though there are no limits on the number of blocks that can be placed. The player has an unlimited amount of time to set up the various components that make up the assembly line, including conveyor belts, welders to attach pieces to each other, and sensors to trigger devices like pushers. Within each puzzle, the player is tasked to deliver a number of objects, constructed from one or more types of cube, to one or more delivery points by directing and assembling the individual cubes from their spawning point. Additional chapters have since been added during the game's time in Early Access, adding in new block types and furthering the story of the abductees' escape attempts. By successfully completing all the puzzles, the player's character is rescued from the alien race by other abductees to a hidden base on the alien homeworld, and begins to work with the other abductees to find a way to escape the planet and return home. Completing a specified quota of puzzles on a world lets the player advance to the next one, as well as advancing the story. The game is divided into 6 worlds with several puzzles per world. The player takes the role of a human that is abducted by an alien race and is put to work to help the aliens construct equipment the character does not appear to be the first one that has been taken for this purpose as throughout the levels are the corpses of other abducted humans, which the player can find and listen to their last audio log. Infinifactory is a puzzle game, structured as several sets of puzzles based on various tasks. The game combines elements of Zachtronics' previous SpaceChem and Infiniminer, with the assembly lines being built from blocks in a three-dimensional space. In the game, the player takes the role of a human abducted by aliens and forced to construct assembly lines to create certain objects for apparently-nefarious purposes. ![]() The game was later released on PlayStation 4 in December 2015. Infinifactory is a puzzle video game developed and published by Zachtronics, initially released on Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux on June 30, 2015. ![]()

Spike cowboy bebop black and white8/28/2023 ![]() Ironically, all the members of the Bebop besides himself and Jet, (Ed, Ein and Faye, respectively) fall into these categories, as discussed in session 9.Īlthough people often talk about cowboys in an almost heroic sense, his image is far from the idea of one and, on the contrary, has characteristics typical of an antihero. His pet hates are children, pets, and women with attitudes. Spike's philosophy seems to be based on the ancient samurai ideals of immediacy, such as considering oneself as dead and the idea of death as being an awakening from a dream, which are both elements of bushido illustrated in the Hagakure. He is typically found either resting on the couch or reading magazines. When he is not working, Spike is very laid back, sarcastic, and lively to the dismay of his crew mates. Spike's star sign is Cancer, which fits with his inability to let go of the past. Despite that, he usually encourages others to forget the past as "not important", particularly Faye, who has amnesia for the majority of the series. Following the implant of an artificial eye, he says his left eye, the real one, sees the present while the right synthetic one sees the past, making the past indelible in his mind, not allowing him to get rid of or forget it. One of the recurring themes surrounding Spike's character is how he views himself and his life. However in a conversation with Faye, he admits to not want to die because of "the hate to." He considers he already died once therefore doesn't show the slightest fear of the possibility of being killed, often acts as if to challenge death, so to prove he is still alive. He appears to be tormented by the ghosts of his past and has frequent nightmares of his life in the Red Dragon. He usually behaves phlegmatically and walks slouching almost as if he is sleepwalking. However, there are exceptions in the movie, he becomes very excited when fighting Elektra, saying he loves the kind of woman who can kick his ass. ![]() Spike is rarely seen excited about something and, even less frequently, says he likes something. He is also a heavy smoker, being shown with a cigarette in his mouth in practically every shot. In a few rare occasions, he is also seen reading or practicing Jeet Kune Do, a martial arts practice he is very skilled in, being among other things passionate of Bruce Lee films. He passes the vast majority of his time on the Bebop lounging, watching TV, or sleeping. Spike is a slothful, listless, indifferent, and lazy person. ~ Spike and Vicious talk about their similarities Spike: I've bled all that kind of blood away. The same blood runs through both of us, the blood of a beast that wanders, hunting for the blood of others. Do you have any idea what you look like right at this moment Spike? His outfit consists of an all-blue suit and trousers with a yellow shirt underneath. He is usually dressed in a blue leisure suit, with a yellow shirt and Lupin III inspired boots. A flashback in Session 6 revealed that his fully functioning right eye was surgically replaced by a cybernetic one (although Spike himself may not have conscious recollection of the procedure since he claims to have lost his natural eye in an "accident"). He has fluffy dark-green hair and reddish-brown eyes, one real and one artificial. Spike is 27 years-old and tall and thin in appearance. ![]()

Best monitor to pair with mac mini m18/28/2023 ![]() ![]() The simple solution to this problem was to restart the LG display. What to do when the LG 32UN880-B wouldn’t connect via USB-C The USB-C wouldn’t work with any of those. I tried connecting the USB-C cable to a 13” MacBook Pro with M1, a 16” MacBook Pro with M1 Pro, and an Intel MacBook Pro running Windows. I’m not sure whether it’s an Apple issue or an LG issue, because I found that when the connection dies, it doesn’t work with any other device. But as soon as I restarted the Mac Mini while the LG display was connected via the USB-C cable, the display would no longer connect to the Mac Mini. I could put the Mac Mini to sleep and it would wake up just fine with the display working and everything. The USB-C connection between the M1 Mac Mini and LG 32UN880-B dies every time I restart the Mac Mini while the cable is connected. After all, it was not random as I had first thought. Thankfully, it didn’t take too long to find a pattern. What causes the USB-C connection to die between LG Ergo Display and the M1 Mac Mini I had to figure out a reproducible pattern so that I could at least avoid the issue. So I put my ‘customer support’ hat on (that’s what I do at my job) and got down to troubleshooting this. But at the same time, it made me frustrated. In a strange kind of way, it made me feel better that it wasn’t my unit, and I wasn’t alone. It wasn’t until I searched on Google and found that the issue with LG 4K display and M1 Mac Mini was pretty widespread. ![]() I thought for sure some circuitry inside was broken or something. I believed that something was wrong with the display itself. But then, it would start working again randomly. I tried unplugging the cable several times, switching one end to the other, and nothing would help. I was using the USB-C cable that was provided in the LG box, so I knew the problem wasn’t in the cable. As in, nothing would show up on the display even when the USB-C is connected and the Mac Mini is powered on. Sometimes, the connection would just die. And then I started noticing issues with the USB-C connection between my LG monitor and the M1 Mac Mini. Being able to connect a single cable to a MacBook or Mac Mini and then using the USB ports on the back of the display was going to be a huge convenience for me, especially with a webcam on top and a wired mechanical keyboard in front. I love LG displays (I have two other LG panels at home) and the ergo stand that comes with the LG 32UN880-B was to fit in perfectly with my new desk setup.Īpart from the ergo stand, the USB-C connectivity was the biggest attraction for me. Like many people out there, I upgraded to the 32” LG Ergo 4K HDR on my workstation. USB C issues with LG 32UN880-B and M1 Mac Mini – You’re not alone In this post, I’ll share my findings so that they may help you understand what’s causing the issues and what you can do about them. If you bought an LG 32UN880-B to go with your M1 Mac Mini and you’re noticing issues with the USB-C connection, you’ll be glad to know that you’re not the only one.Īfter facing USB-C issues with the LG 32UN880-B monitor with my M1 Mac Mini, I decided to test it further.

Adobe preflight app8/28/2023 ![]() ![]() This means that we need to build our own “Check”, and we do this by clicking on the button that adds a new check – that is step #5 in the screenshot above. When you browse through the list that is associated with the “Apply only to objects identified by a check” selection, you will find a huge number of different checks, but none that would select just red lines: We will change the type of object to remove in the next step. For now, we leave the lower portion of this dialog alone. To speed things up a bit, we can search for the term “remove” in the “Type of fixup” table, so that we don’t have to scroll through the whole list. The second step requires us to know that removing objects is in the “Pages” category, so we select “Pages”, and then the “Remove Objects” type of fixup: The first thing we need to do is to specify a meaningful name for our new Fixup (e.g. To create our new Fixup, we need to select the “Fixup” category, and then click on the “Options” menu:įrom the “Options” menu, we select to “Create New Preflight Fixup”: Profiles are complex things that can do many different things at the same time, Checks are tests for a certain condition (we will create a Check further down to identify our red lines), and Fixups are changes to a PDF document, whereas each Fixup contains one specific modification. When you bring up the Preflight tool, there are three different categories to choose from: The first thing we need to know is that what we want to do is hidden in the “Fixup” category in Preflight. because you have lines with different line width values, and some of them should be removed, and others should remain in the document), you will have to adjust the rules to identify the objects that should be removed. In this example, I will assume that all we need is to know that it’s a line, and that the color is a certain shade of gray. a 100 page document without having to click on every single one of these line segments? Preflight to the Rescue!īefore we can create a Preflight “FixUp” to remove these lines, we need to figure out how we can “describe” them to Preflight so that it does “know” which ones to remove, and what to leave behind. Let’s say we have a document that somebody marked up with red lines, and then flattened the document so that the markups are no longer comments that can be removed, but static PDF content: Preflight can also help us with removing unwanted content. Let me add a quick warning here: Preflight is only available in Adobe Acrobat Pro, it’s not part of Acrobat Standard. ![]() Just recently I wrote about a way to use Preflight to scale page content. And, sometimes it seems to be impossible to select the one item you are interested in.Īcrobat’s Preflight function is a very powerful tool with many different use cases: You can check files for conformance with certain PDF standards, you can identify problems in PDF files, you can fix certain problems in PDF documents, and more. There are probably more methods than these three that involve pointing and clicking, but regardless of which one you pick, it will be a lot of work to do this with many similar items. Use “Tools>Print Production>Edit Object”, select the object and hit the Delete key.Use the “Contents” navigation pane (View>Show/Hide>Navigation Panes>Content), then find the content element in the tree and hit the Delete key.Use “Tools>Edit PDF>Edit” and select the content in question, then press the Delete key.Have you ever tried to selectively remove content from a PDF file?
