Fracture dislocations of the proximal interphalangeal joint. Conclusions: The pins and rubber traction frame is a method that can be used safely and effectively in fractures of the phalanx joints that are difficult, comminuted, and involving the joint. Malunion or nonunion and osteomyelitis were not seen in any patients. In the same period, the mean range of motion of the DIP joint of the patients was 4.38° to 86.25°. The mean range of motion of the PIP joint examined in the postoperative 12th month was 4.88° to 86.25°. The mean age of the patients was 28.50 ± 3.42 years. Results: Five (62.5%) patients were male, and three (37.5%) patients were female in this study. Age and gender of patients, time between trauma and surgery, postoperative follow-up periods, affected area on the joint surface, postoperative complications, range of motion of PIP and DIP joints, affected finger, and the causes of the trauma were recorded. Methods: The results of eight patients with fracture-dislocations of the PIP joint between 20 were retrospectively analyzed. This study aimed to present the treatment stages of patients who had PIP joint fractures-dislocations with the pins and rubber traction frame and the functional results of patients. The pins and rubber traction frame is an easy method to perform for these fractures. Background: Comminuted fracture of the PIP joint is one of the most challenging fractures to be treated in hand surgery practice. We also make decisions based on limited knowledge or how we saw our parents manage money.” “We may feel that making those healthy choices will take away the fun in our lives. “Feelings of insecurity, lack of knowledge and procrastination are some of the biggest things that hold us back from making healthy money decisions,” says Heidi Renteria, a guide with Thrivent’s Money Canvas program. And that’s where our emotions may get involved, tending to drive the choices we make with our finances. While sometimes it’s because we don’t seem to have enough money, more often it stems from how we use the resources we’ve been given. Yet many of us, in various stages of life, can find ourselves struggling at times to make healthy money choices, even if we have financial clarity. Guidance such as spend less than you earn, be generous, use debt carefully, save more. We’ve likely all heard similar advice about money.

Many bands also use skulls as a part of their images such as The Grateful Dead and many other heavy metal bands. Later it became a part of pop culture where it is being used by Andy Warhol for one of his many iconic artworks. On the history lookup, during the 15th century, it represented power since the tribesmen would keep their opponent skulls as a trophy. They start to carve pumpkins called Jack O’Lantern because they want to keep away from “Stingy Jack.” What makes skulls popular?Īpart from its resemblance to a sign of death or something dangerous, the skull has been popular within any kind of part of our culture. So it is believed that Jack has been wandering around the Earth since then. However, when Jack finally dies, he is not allowed to go into heaven as does to hell since he is tricking the Devil many times. Then they had both had an agreement on selling Jack’s soul to the Devil. Its name originated from a story of a man called “Stingy Jack.” He had a drink with a devil and turned the devil into a coin to pay for paying for the drinks they had. If you ever wonder what the pumpkin needs to do with Halloween, you might start calling it by the name of jack-o-lantern. Takes no hours and very much a great agenda to be done with the whole family member as well. You can skip the carving and make paint out of the template. Simply get your pumpkin stencils design and tape them on the pumpkin surface. You can create your pumpkin another way this year using a stencil method. Since you might celebrate it only with the family, don't miss out on the fun. Halloween is just around the corner and you might be thinking about what to make for this year's decorations. What do you need to know about stencil making? When you start painting, make sure you paint the edges and go inward. If carving a blade seems too dangerous and you would like to try making these stenciled skulls with your kids, using paint and brush is also doable. This makes it easier for you to attach the stencil design for your Halloween pumpkin. It is better if you can find a pumpkin that has a flat bottom surface and not too roundy. Need to make sure that your tools are safe to use and wear gloves to prevent injuries. You can use a sharp knife if you don’t have a special blade to use for carving.

The mechanism of operation is the intelligent shift "Reference frequency" relative to CPPC tags. Initial frequency smart offset - is a technology that saves time during overclocking or undervolting. Specially designed AVX presets combine low processor temperature with high-efficiency diagnostics. There is no need to be afraid of the word "AVX" in the title. For most users, the AVX Light mode will be optimal. Testing mode - defines the load level that CCXs receive during CTR operation. Ryzen 9 : 150-175 MHz for X-Suffix processors and 100-150 for XT-Suffix processors.The user can also customize this value for his own experiments. At the first start CTR will automatically offer the best option. Each processor class (Ryzen 5, 7, 9, etc.) has an individual value. This value allows the energy load to be equalized between all CCXs. It is the value (MHz) of the frequency difference between the best CCX and the worst CCX. The longer a cycle lasts, the more accurate the CTR result will be.ĬCX delta - the condition for termination of the overclocking or undervolting algorithm. Let's talk about them in a bit more detail.Ĭycle time - defines the time of stress tests for each cycle. The "Settings" group contains all settings. This is due to an error in the microcode, i.e. At a certain value, it just goes off the charts. * At the moment there is a bug that does not allow to display the correct EDC value in some scenarios. The monitoring of these parameters as well as the protection system is always active. Then comes a strip with information about the current energy parameters of the processor (PPT, EDC, TDC, CPU VID Voltage, and CPU SVI2 Voltage). Let me remind you that CPPC tags are a kind of indicator of core quality. The upper information bar informs the user about the number of CCXs, cores in the CCX, the frequency of each core (3), the temperature of the CCD (1), and CPPC tags (2). The main and working tab is called MAIN, it contains all information about the processor, controls, and log. Fortunately, this is a standard text that must be present in software products with similar features. CTR also contains a plug-in (optional) test package Cinebench R20 from Maxon, which will evaluate the results of the tuning.Īfter running ClockTuner for Ryzen, the program meets the user with information that any manipulation (overclocking or undervolt) may damage the CPU or motherboard. A step-by-step frequency algorithm with multiple rules allows you to select the most stable frequency for all CCXes simultaneously without disturbing the energy balance between the CCX. Prime95 with a number of special presets assesses the stability of each CCX. The main principle of this software is to evaluate the quality of each CCX and adjust the frequencies individually. As for conditions, there is one thing - the processor should be based on Zen 2 architecture. CTR is compatible with all motherboards on the AM4 socket, despite the artificial limitations of AMD. The program has a kind of artificial intelligence, which will help in any situation, and the protection system will monitor each step so that your components were not exposed to danger. In this case, CTR is fully automated and does not limit the user in actions. CTR (ClockTuner for Ryzen) software allows each user to customize the system with maximum energy efficiency.

From the 1920s, despite limited technique as a pianist or conductor, he took part in recordings of several of his works others were made under his supervision. Ravel was among the first composers to recognise the potential of recording to bring their music to a wider public. Some of his piano music, such as Gaspard de la nuit (1908), is exceptionally difficult to play, and his complex orchestral works such as Daphnis et Chloé (1912) require skilful balance in performance. Many of his works exist in two versions: a first, piano score and a later orchestration. Among his works to enter the repertoire are pieces for piano, chamber music, two piano concertos, ballet music, two operas, and eight song cycles he wrote no symphonies or religious works. He made some orchestral arrangements of other composers’ music, of which his 1922 version of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition is the best known.Īs a slow and painstaking worker, Ravel composed fewer pieces than many of his contemporaries. He liked to experiment with musical form, as in his best-known work, Boléro (1928), in which repetition takes the place of development. After leaving the conservatoire Ravel found his own way as a composer, developing a style of great clarity, incorporating elements of baroque, neoclassicism and, in his later works, jazz. In the 1920s and ’30s Ravel was internationally regarded as France’s greatest living composer.īorn to a music-loving family, Ravel attended France’s premier music college, the Paris Conservatoire he was not well regarded by its conservative establishment, whose biased treatment of him caused a scandal. He is often associated with impressionism along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, although both composers rejected the term. Joseph-Maurice Ravel (7 March 1875–28 December 1937) was a French composer, pianist and conductor. Symptoms of Duranta poisoning include upset stomach, drowsiness, nausea, fever, vomiting and possibly convulsions. Toxicity: It has been known since the late 19th century that he leaves and particularly the berries of the plant are toxic and can be dangerous to children, dogs and cats. This can be an environmental weed in some areas, so check with local sources to see if this is the case in your area. Maintenance: A vigorous pruning will promote bushy growth and a fuller flush of flowers next time round.ĭiseases: Sometimes troubled by whiteflies Soil: Fertile, well drained soil preferred but will adapt to almost any position. No warning of its potentially lethal toxicity is included on its plant labels or publicised by plant nurseries. It has been known since the late 19th century that he leaves and particularly the berries of the plant are toxic and can be dangerous to children, dogs and cats.Symptoms of Duranta poisoning include upset stomach, drowsiness, nausea, fever, vomiting and possibly convulsions. Viewed by some as old fashioned it does however make a great hedge. Mature plants can have have sharp thorns up to 2cm long. It has pale green foliage and pale lilac flowers that mature to yellow berries that attract the birds to your garden. Two or more plants grown together make for a truly malevolent thicket of dark thorniness.Duranta repens or Duranta erecta as it is sometimes known is a bushy evergreen shrub with pendulous branches. Yellow flowers appear in midsummer, and give way to small green fruit that matures to bright yellow. Dense thorns adorn its dark purple stems and grow on the top and bottom of the leaves. atropurpureum, also known as “malevolence,” is a sturdy shrub, topping out at five feet tall at maturity with a similar spread. Plant along fence lines, in borders, in mass plantings of potential pain, or in containers to keep its size in check – just looking at one of these should send most thieves elsewhere!Īnother interesting species, S. It will self-seed easily, and even the tiniest saplings are viciously thorned. It requires a full sun location, with well-draining, organically rich soil, and consistent moisture – and it is not frost tolerant. Suitable for growers in Zones 9 to 11, this fast-growing evergreen shrub can reach a mature height of four feet, with a spread of up to three feet. pyracanthos is a member of the nightshade family, which includes potatoes, eggplant, and tomatoes. Native to Madagascar, the land of cuddly lemurs, S. Tiptoeing through your pretty flower bed, it’s an easy hop into your home for a quick getaway with your laptop. Under Windowsįirst floor windows are often an easy access point for burglars. This can provide a barrier to entry, but still allows you some visibility across your property. Plan your perimeter borders with larger, spiky species at the back, and smaller, equally unwelcoming specimens in front. Training climbing plants up and along the top of fencing is effective, as is careful placement of shrubs or bushes in vulnerable corners, or on the inside of large fences. Mischief-makers will also be put off by the prospect of leaving valuable clues and DNA behind for law-enforcement – like torn clothes or cut skin. The first line of defense for any property is the perimeter.Ī thorny climbing plant makes it difficult for would-be intruders to scale a fence, and a spiky hedge can make for a decorative natural barrier. In the case of a fire or other disaster, you don’t want your plantings to block your escape or cause injury – this is particularly important in the case of upstairs windows. Ensure that you keep in mind mature heights, and whether the species you choose is considered invasive in your area.īefore you plant, think about your escape routes carefully. When you choose plantings for your landscape, remember to check that they are suitable for your growing zone. The oil industry helped propel states such as Texas and Louisiana forward, and tourism grew in Florida, and Southern California. Industries such as aerospace, defense, and oil boomed in the Sun Belt as companies took advantage of the low involvement of labor unions in the region (due to more recent industrialization, 1930s–1950s) and the proximity of military installations that were major consumers of their products. The climate spurred not only agricultural growth, but also the migration of many retirees to retirement communities in the region, especially in Florida and Arizona. Factors such as the warmer climate, the migration of workers from Mexico, and a boom in the agriculture industry allowed the southern third of the United States to grow economically. In this period, economic and political prominence shifted from the Midwest and Northeast to the South and West. Broader definitions may also include Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia.įirst employed by political analyst Kevin Phillips in his 1969 book The Emerging Republican Majority, the term "Sun Belt" became synonymous with the southern third of the nation in the early 1970s. Five of the states- Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, and Texas-are sometimes collectively called the Sand States because of their abundance of beaches or deserts. The Sun Belt comprises the southern tier of the United States, including the states of Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, South Carolina, Texas, roughly two-thirds of California (up to Greater Sacramento), and the southern parts of North Carolina, Nevada, and Utah. Job decline in the Rust Belt is another major reason for migration. The traditional explanations for the growth are increasing productivity in the South and West and increasing demand for Sunbelt amenities, especially its pleasant weather. Recreational opportunities in the Sun Belt are often not tied strictly to one season, and many tourist and resort cities, such as Fort Lauderdale, Gulf Shores, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Myrtle Beach, New Orleans, Orlando, Palm Springs, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Diego, Tampa, and Tucson support a tourist industry all year. Since much of the construction in the Sun Belt is new or recent, housing styles and design are often modern and open. The advent of air conditioning created more comfortable summer conditions and allowed more manufacturing and industry to locate in the Sun Belt. The Sun Belt has seen substantial population growth since post- World War II from an influx of people seeking a warm and sunny climate, a surge in retiring baby boomers, and growing economic opportunities. Several climates can be found in the region - desert/ semi-desert ( Eastern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and West Texas), Mediterranean ( California), humid subtropical ( Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Texas) and tropical ( South Florida). Another rough definition of the region is the area south of the 36th parallel. The Sun Belt is a region of the United States generally considered stretching across the Southeast and Southwest.
