Expect symptoms to reverse themselves within several months of delivery or after you finish breastfeeding. If you do experience any vision changes during pregnancy, they will almost always be minor and temporary. The most common vision change during pregnancy – blurry vision – is usually linked to changes in the cornea and occurs mainly in the second and third trimesters. When does blurry vision in pregnancy begin? Combined with subtle changes in the shape and thickness of the cornea, you may find it's uncomfortable to wear contact lenses, especially hard lenses. Hormonal changes can also make your eyes drier and more irritated during pregnancy (and for as long as you're breastfeeding), which can contribute to inaccurate vision. It's also the reason laser eye surgery isn't recommended during pregnancy, and why it's not a good time to be fitted for new contact lenses or invest in a new pair of glasses. ![]() It's a small change, but it could affect whether your glasses or contacts still correct your vision perfectly – or cause your vision to look blurry even if you didn't need glasses before pregnancy. If a retinal tear is present however, early laser treatment to seal the hole may prevent retinal detachment.Water retention, in particular, may slightly increase the thickness and curvature of your cornea. Treatment of flashes Flashes do not need any treatment if there is no tear of the retina. Possible complications include: retinal detachment, cataract formation, glaucoma and loss of vision. Because the complications of vitrectomy can be serious, vitrectomy surgery is recommended only in unusual cases. The vitreous is removed and replaced with a clear salt solution. Large and persistent floaters that interfere with vision can be removed from the eye with an operation called vitrectomy. For most people, treatment is not necessary. Treatment of floaters and flashes Floaters are usually not harmful. ![]() This may blur your vision so you may need to make arrangements for someone to drive you home after the examination. During the examination your pupils will be dilated using eye drops. While not all floaters and flashes are serious, you should always have your eyes examined by an ophthalmologist to make sure there has been no damage to your retina. What should you do if you experience floaters or flashes? Floaters and flashes become more common as we get older. Sometimes this is followed by a migraine headache. Patients may experience flashing lights that appear as jagged lines or ‘heat waves’ often lasting 10-20 minutes. Migraine Ophthalmic migraine results from spasm of the blood vessels that supply the eye or the visual areas of the brain. This is called a retinal detachment and requires an operation to repair it. When a tear occurs in the retina, the retina can fall off the back of the eye. This can cause slight bleeding into the eye which may be seen as a ‘shower’ of new floaters. Sometimes the vitreous is more firmly attached to the retina and pulls away a piece of the retina as it shrinks. In most cases, the large floater disappears over time. Torn retina When a posterior vitreous detachment occurs, a large floater and multiple flashes are usually seen. They can occur off and on for several weeks or months. They may last for a few seconds or several minutes. They are usually seen at night or in low light conditions. You may see what appears to be flashing lights or lightening streaks. What causes flashing lights? As the vitreous shrinks and comes away from the back of the eye, it can pull on the retina causing some of the retinal cells to fire off. Floaters are sometimes caused by bleeding or inflammation in the eye. In some cases, floaters can interfere severely with vision. ![]() While annoying, they are usually harmless and come and go over the years.

![]() Depending on the nerve branch that is compressed, it can also lead to tingling in the fourth or fifth fingers and clumsiness with hand movements. It can cause achiness in the neck, arm, or hand. Neurogenic thoracic outlet: The most common and treatable form, this occurs when weak or tight muscles cause the brachial plexus (a nerve bundle that controls arm muscles and sensation) to become pinched or inflamed. The clinical evaluation of a patient with suspected neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome is composed of an accurate and detailed medical history and a specialized physical examination. ![]() What is arterial thoracic outlet syndrome Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome (ATOS) is a disorder that affects the artery between your ribs and collarbone (clavicle). It can impair the circulation in your arm and hand. Prevention Outlook / Prognosis Living With Overview Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome compresses the subclavian artery, blocking blood flow and allowing blood clots to form. It can cause numbness, coldness, pain, or sores in the hands or fingers. Diagnosis can be suspected clinically with specific provocative tests and supplemented with radiographs or vascular studies. ![]() It is the least frequently seen form, but also the most serious. Thoracic outlet syndrome is a neurovascular disorder resulting from compression of the brachial plexus and/or subclavian vessels in the interval between the neck and axilla. Arterial thoracic outlet: This occurs when a boney abnormality in the thoracic outlet area compresses the arteries that travel through it and limits their blood flow. Doctor Examination Diagnosis of this condition can be more complicated than diagnosis of other more common shoulder conditions because there may be many symptoms to explain.As part of your physical exam, your provider may ask you to do movement-based tests, including: Upper limb tension test. The venous version can lead to swelling in the arms or hands, chest wall vein dilation, and a heavy sensation in the arm or hand muscles. Diagnosis and Tests How is thoracic outlet syndrome diagnosed Healthcare providers diagnose TOS by performing a physical exam and reviewing your medical history. Venous thoracic outlet: More acute in onset, this variety typically occurs when new or tiring arm movements cause damage to the veins in the lower neck or upper chest. ![]() In this window, you can edit and rearrange clips and drag them into the audio montage. It is always one channel or a channel pair.Īll clips are displayed in the CD window. A channel cluster is a logical group of channels. ![]() Each track of the multichannel audio file is organized in channel clusters. You can open multichannel audio files in audio montages. Multichannel Operations in the Audio Montage.You assemble your audio montage by adding tracks and clips. WaveLab Elements detects broken references and allows you to specify new file locations or replace the missing audio file with another audio file. These references can be broken if you move audio files to another location on your hard disk, for example. You can import audio files, video files, and Audio CD tracks into your audio montage.Īn audio montage consists of references to one or multiple audio files. In the Audio Montage Properties, you can define the channel configuration (mono, stereo, surround, Ambisonics) and the sample rate of the audio montage. This allows you to quickly create new audio montages using the same properties and audio files as previously created audio montages. You can duplicate audio montages in various ways. You can create new, empty audio montages with custom audio montage properties. The audio signal passes through the various sections of WaveLab Elements in a certain way. For example, you can edit the envelope curves and fades in clips, make zoom settings, analyze the audio, and render the audio montage. The tabs in the Audio Montage window give you access to the tools and options you need for editing audio montages. This is where you view, play back, and edit audio montages. The montage window is where you assemble your audio montage. The audio montage is a multitrack non-destructive editing environment that allows you to arrange, edit, play back, and record audio clips. Offline processes are useful for a variety of editing purposes and creative effects, for example, if the computer is too slow for real-time processing or if the editing requires more than one pass. WaveLab Elements provides you with a comprehensive set of tools for analyzing your audio and for detecting any errors. This chapter describes the methods for controlling playback and transport functions.Īudio file editing refers to opening, editing, and saving audio files. For example, rename files from within WaveLab Elements or save files in various ways. In WaveLab Elements, you can handle files in various ways. Each environment contains functions that are tailored to the specific purpose of each file type. The Workspace window provides an editing and playback environment for each particular file type. Getting accustomed with these procedures allows you to work more effectively with the program. This chapter describes general concepts that you will use when working with WaveLab Elements. ![]() The following list informs you about the most important improvements in WaveLab Elements and provides links to the corresponding descriptions.īefore you start working, you need to make some settings. ![]() The company says the additional secure measures will better protect users of its affected motherboards from “attempts by attackers to insert malicious code. Update 9:30 am, Tuesday, June 6, 2023: Following publication, Gigabyte announced the release of updates to its firmware. “If you don’t have trust in your firmware, you’re building your house on sand.” But I don’t want anyone writing my firmware who’s sloppy,” says Smith. “There’s no intent here, just sloppiness. But by leaving security vulnerabilities in the invisible code that lies beneath the operating system of so many computers, it nonetheless erodes a fundamental layer of trust users have in their machines. Smith acknowledges that Gigabyte probably had no malicious or deceptive intent in its hidden firmware tool. But for me, this feels like it crosses a similar line in the firmware space.” ![]() “I can’t speak to why Gigabyte chose this method to deliver their software. “You can use techniques that have traditionally been used by malicious actors, but that wasn’t acceptable, it crossed the line,” Smith says. Sony had hidden digital-rights-management code on CDs that invisibly installed itself on users’ computers and in doing so created a vulnerability that hackers used to hide their malware. He compares the situation to the Sony rootkit scandal of the mid-2000s. Smith has published research on firmware vulnerabilities and reviewed Eclypsium’s findings. Given the millions of potentially affected devices, Eclypsium’s discovery is “troubling,” says Rich Smith, who is the chief security officer of supply-chain-focused cybersecurity startup Crash Override. “I still think this will end up being a fairly pervasive problem on Gigabyte boards for years to come,” Loucaides says. Release notes accompanying the update state that it "addresses download assistant vulnerabilities" uncovered by Eclypsium.Įven now that Gigabyte has pushed out a fix for its firmware issue-after all, the problem stems from a Gigabyte tool intended to automate firmware updates-Eclypsium’s Loucaides points out that firmware updates often silently abort on users’ machines, in many cases due to their complexity and the difficulty of matching firmware and hardware. According to Gigabyte, that code is now cryptographically signed and verified, "thwarting any attempts by attackers to insert malicious code," and the server they're downloaded from is also authenticated with a cryptographic certificate. But a day after Eclypsium revealed the firmware issue, Gigabyte announced updates to its firmware with "enhanced verification" of the code its updater program downloads to machines that use its motherboards. Gigabyte did not respond to WIRED’s multiple requests for comment regarding Eclypsium’s findings. Then run the scan again to see if it helps. If there are any listed, highlight them and click Delete to remove them. Check to see if there are bad sectors listed by selecting the volume in question and clicking on Extras > Specify Bad Blocks. In addition, Disk Drill may have detected bad sectors on the drive. If a partition you expect to see is missing, then some sort of disk error or formatting issue has occurred. Lost partitions are a fairly common occurrence, but the good news is Disk Drill can help. Why isn’t the partition I need to scan showing up? If your hard drive does seem like physically damaged, make sure it’s extensively cooled and run the scan again, cleaning the list of Bad Blocks populated within Disk Drill (see below). Note that if you are trying to access a Mac internal hard drive that is failing, you can try to access it in Target Disc Mode. Unfortunately, if you can’t mount the disk on your Mac, Disk Drill can’t see the disk or recover data from it.
![]() Once again, it's a dark side of nature, with something ominous as in The Owl's Nest. Presumably, the Fox is ready to pounce upon the rooster, but you really need a magnifying glass to see it. The other drawing by Bosch from the Boijmans Van Beuningen has two scenes. "But it seems around 1500, the owls were generally associated with menace and death and had an emblematic, moralistic significance." According to dailyartdaily, "There's a lot of speculation about what his owls mean, and how they should be read." Multiple and contradictory meanings are associated with owls. Bosch painted owls in nearly all his paintings. ![]() The Owl's Nest was probably always planned to be a finished drawing. Strokes are very precise of various sizes and lengths. ![]() There's a lightness and delicacy that goes with Bosch's style, without falling into his usual diversion - fantasy. The Owl's Nest is not an idea or a study for any of Bosch's surviving paintings. The metamorphosing figure is generally considered to be a self-portrait. The Owl's Nest, pen and ink, 1500-1505, Museum Boijmans Van Beunigen, Rotterdamīosch repeated most of the Tree Man, top, in his most famous painting, The Garden of Earthly Delights. The Owl's Nest puts Bosch close to the same category as Leonardo and Albrecht Durer, when to his keen understanding and observation of nature. An examination of the two drawings by Bosch shows how well he was attune to the realism in nature. There are superb drawings by Pieter Bruegel, followers of Jan Van Eyck and Rogier van der Weyden, Lucas van Leyden and lesser known artists such as Roelant Savery. The other exhibition had been held earlier that year in Bosch's birthplace, s-Hergotenbosch.Ĭurrently, The National Gallery of Art in Washington has a show of "Dutch Drawings from Bosch to Bloemaert." They come from the Museum Boijmans Van Beunigen in Rotterdam. The Prado exhibition was so popular that the museum extended it an extra two weeks and kept the doors open until 10 p.m. One million people were expected to visit two different exhibits, first in the Netherlands, then in Spain. Two exhibitions last year celebrated the 500th anniversary of Heironymus Bosch's death. The many who made this fantasy portrait more than 500 years ago still gets more viewers than nearly any other other artist of any time period. Bosch's Tree Man has body of a crab held up by tree trunk legs riding in boats. My last post of 2017 shows why ART is a better form of escapism than Star Wars. Heironymous Bosch, The Tree Man, detail, pen and ink, The Albertina, Vienna ![]() When charging, a lightning bolt appears on the battery status indicator at the top of the Home screen.

![]() This makes Gridlock such an effective anti-roamer, and blocker of flanks. A single Trax Stinger can cover a large area with barbed mats that greatly slows down defenders who steps on them, and what’s scary about the barbed mats from the Trax Stingers is that they inflict high damage, so it’s unlikely that a defender would just try to walk over them and tank the damage.Įach barbed mat can be destroyed by a single shot or a melee attack, but since even one Trax Stinger can cover a large area with several barbed mats, it can take a long time to carefully destroy each one of them without alerting the attackers. Gridlock’s main role with her Trax Stingers is to greatly reduce roamers and flankers’ effectiveness. And if the path is narrow, the Trax Stingers will deploy as many barbed wires as it can, but it’s unlikely to reach its limit of nineteen. ![]() If the area is wide enough, it will deploy nineteen barbed mats. ![]() The barbed mats get deployed first from the center and it will spread in a counter-clock wise fashion. That will ensure that the barbed mats from the Trax Stingers will spread as far as possible. When you’re trying to block a path with the Trax Stingers, what you want to do is aim at the center of the path as much as possible. But knowing how it spreads will help you cover a larger area with its barbed mats. I see a lot of players just blindly throwing their Trax Stingers on the ground and hoping that it will just cover a wide area since the Trax Stingers will try their best to deploy as many barbed mats and spread them as much as possible. Knowing the pattern of how Gridlock’s Trax Stingers get deployed will help you in using this very underrated operator more efficiently. ![]() Open the textures you collected earlier in Photoshop and drag them onto your collage canvas. Textures play a crucial role in creating a vintage feel. Consider overlapping, rotating, and resizing the photos for added visual interest. Experiment with different layouts and positions to achieve a visually appealing composition. Step 4: Arranging the PhotosĪrrange the selected photos on your collage canvas by dragging and dropping them onto the background layer. Open each photo in Photoshop, and if necessary, make adjustments like cropping, resizing, or applying filters to enhance the vintage look. Choose images that evoke nostalgia or have a vintage vibe. Now it’s time to select and prepare the photos you want to include in your collage. Resize and position it as needed using the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd+T). Open the background image in Photoshop and drag it onto your collage canvas. To set the vintage mood, add the chosen background image to your Photoshop document. Once the document is created, you’re ready to start working on your vintage photo collage. ![]() Set the dimensions and resolution based on your intended output, such as a digital image or print. Open Photoshop and create a new document by going to File > New. If not, you can download a free trial from Adobe’s official website.

After you have created the folder, go back to the SXS folder in your Windows installer and copy all files from that folder and paste it inside the net35 folder that you have created.Īfter you have copied all files, access Command Prompt and be sure you are running the Command prompt as an Administrator. This time, create a folder in drive C:, name it whatever you want, but for this example let’s name the folder “ net35“. Inside that folder you will see a bunch of files, now leave that window opened, and open other windows. Open it and look for another folder called “ SXS“. ![]() Net Framework 3.5 in your Windows 8 or 8.1 computer, access your Windows installer and look for the folder named “ Sources“. The important thing is that it’s a full installer and you can copy files from it. It is not important if your Windows installer is in a DVD or an image ISO or it’s in a USB drive. This method does not require you to have an internet connection, but this requires the original Windows installers. Net Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 / 8.1 Offline Method Net Framework 3.5 in Windows 8 and 8.1 without the need of an internet connection. Net Framework 3.5 without an internet connection? In this article, I’ll show you simple steps on how to install and activate. It will try to connect to the internet and download the entire thing. But the problem is it will require you to have an internet connection. You can activate 3.5 by going to Programs and Features, then Turn Windows features on or off and select or turn on the.
