Varicose veins tend to protrude from the skin in a thick, winding line whereas spider veins also consist of visible winding lines on the body, but they protrude less. Essentially, the difference between the two is that varicose veins appear more as swollen veins while spider veins are less swollen but more pronounced in color. WebMD also discusses the differences between varicose veins and spiders veins, and you can read about them here. In addition, varicose and spider veins are also major concerns for those that have been in the nursing profession for a considerable amount of time. You can read more about the specifics of pedal, peripheral, and other forms of edema here. Both of these forms of edema affect the lower limbs, most notably the legs, feet, and ankles. These health concerns certainly aren’t exclusive to nurses, but they do disproportionately affect those in the nursing profession because of the nature of the work.Īccording to WebMD, edema is just a fancy medical term for swelling and the types most relevant to nurses are pedal edema and peripheral edema.

They have eight different compression points in their graduated compression system. This is an all-around great compression sock and is a best choice for many nurses. To assess what kind of compression is best for you, consider consulting your physician. The patent on the compression system comes from the fact that the graduated compression system starts at the middle of the foot rather than at the ankle as some other socks do. The socks come in 18 different colors and claim to use a chemical free manufacturing process. These socks are made in Italy and Vitalsox claims that they are individually-tested before they are produced en masse. They also don’t hold in odors, so while your feet might be stinky, the socks won’t actually smell once they come off your feet. They might be onto something as these socks do have a patented graduated compression system. ![]() As a result, they claim to be a leader in knee high compression socks for nurses. Vitalsox are the real deal and have been in the compression business since 1998. ![]()

![]() ![]() These are all in the matte packaging so presumably they are matte shades but none of them really dried down to a matte finish on me. What I can say is that they apply beautifully. I have not worn any of these for more than a few minutes (just to take these photos in fact) so I can’t speak to the wear time or overall comfort of the products. It seems similar to my discontinued YSL Rouge Volupte 18 so that makes me happy! Obviously the formula is quite different, but the shade is in the same family. Vintage Vibe is my favorite out of the bunch. Photobomb is a perfect burgundy/oxblood shade. It was a slightly less creamy formula (although it’s still pretty nice) and the color is a little weird for my skin tone. ![]() The really delightful thing is that it is insanely creamy and smooth and isn’t even a little patchy (my lips are dry so any patchiness in the photo is no fault of the product). It’s basically a purple so dark that it translates as black. ![]() Holy dark lipstick Batman! Coffee Buzz is a cool color. Spoiler: They’re all different and you may need all four. GIVE ME ALL THE DARK LIPSTICK! I was also intrigued because in the packaging, they all look incredibly similar to one another. There were two more shades that I resisted (I think there was a bright pink and a red?) but I really only wanted the dark shades. I also snagged a back up of Jordana’s Best Lash Extreme because a friend informed me that they’re changing the formula and panic ensued. I’ve been on a low buy for the last two months and had no planned drugstore purchases for quite some time but then WHABAM! Lipstick! So naturally I took pictures. Have you found the Halo Hues collection yet? Do you have a favourite from the collection? I’m definitely going back to add more to my holo collections–as soon as I left the store, I knew I needed to go back for Eternal Beauty.I don’t know exactly what it is about the Wet n’ Wild Mega Last lipsticks but the limited edition releases get me every time. I’m just so happy I found this collection! Not that I ever feel bad about nail polish. Obviously both shades are stunning but just that much different that I don’t feel bad about owning both. I apparently have a thing for blue holos, but I wondered just how close these two polishes were & if they were dupes.Īs you can see, definitely not dupes! Crystal Baller is more purple-blue whole Ocean Rush means more turquoise blue. Putting on this polish, I could help but think of my Layla holos & Ocean Rush. The formula is excellent & applied smoothly & dried quickly! This was my first foray into the world of Color Club holos, & understand why people go so crazy for them!

Lattice fences usually come in different styles namely the criss cross, square hatch, spindle, horizontal and open weave design. Low end plastic fences can cost anywhere from $1.50 to $3.50 per linear foot while high quality vinyl fences costs around $12 to $24 per linear foot. Low end wood lattice fences typically cost $2 to $5 per linear foot while quality wood lattice fences cost $8 to $20 per linear foot. Additional costs may also incur if a gate or doorway is added to your lattice fence. Custom made lattice panels do not really have a standard price because it depends upon the type of project. Typically costing an average of around $8 to $60 per linear foot, compared to the $100 per linear foot coverage of solid board fences. Lattice fences are a budget friendly fence option as they are usually two times cheaper than other fencing materials. The key guideline to lattice fences is actually choosing the right material based on your needs and preferences. If using it primarily for security or you want it to withstand extensive strain, you can opt to increase the thickness of the slats or have a customized tall metal lattice fence instead. Lattice fences are also not that durable compared to other fence types, so make sure to review the material option you have to get the most out of your investment. However, you can still enjoy the decorative flair of a lattice if you use it as a topper for a privacy fence.

The tightly woven slats of lattice fences allow little sunlight to pass through and improves ventilation giving a space an open atmosphere and an airy feel. The unique design of a lattice fence provides privacy but gives little separation from neighbors, permitting both to enjoy a view of the surrounding area. It also works as a divider to conceal unsightly views such as an air conditioning system or a garbage disposal unit. It can be used to define boundaries and provide semi privacy whether in a porch, deck or backyard. Compared to other fence types, it adds a strong curb appeal and visual interest to any home. It is an ornamental alternative for other types of fences and provide a multipurpose function in terms of cultivating cascading flowers and trailing vines. What are the advantages of lattice fences? Lattice fences are well loved primarily because of their decorative aesthetics. It is also commonly added as a decorative accent feature for landscapes or as a trellis for gardens where vines and other trailing plants may climb into as they grow. It may be used to enclose the full perimeter of a property, as garden walls, patio screens, veranda enclosure, archway, deck skirting or as a freestanding divider. What is a lattice fence? A lattice fence is a structure made up of wood, metal or other material which is composed of thin slats arranged in a criss cross or diamond pattern with spaces in between.

You know damn well he does. He says it's for the business, but MUCH of it can double as personal use. My point is, the implication from him seems to be that he doesn't care about rich people shit while he's spending money on shit normal people generally can't afford. Which is totally fine, it's his money, he can do what he wants with it.

(And to get old bastards like me to wax poetic about it, too.) I was a college newspaper intern, oh man, 30 years ago, and even those days were the adventure of a lifetime, at least in my memory. It’s the college intern angle that seems particularly novel, though, at least as a way to help a younger generation relate to a very old story and character archetypes. Ace lens Jimmy Olsen and grumpy editor-in-chief Perry White are also here to complete the picture. My Adventures With Superman looks like an updated take on the classic, platonic Lois-and-Clark mystery, with Supes (Jack Quaid) as a himbo ringer playing straight man to Lois (Alice Lee), the steely-eyed investigative reporter who is still missing that one last source to nail Superman’s actual origins for the 1A exclusive.

The IZIP E3 Pro Tour would make a solid commuter or potentially even touring / trekking electric bike. The chainring features an aluminum alloy guide that should keep the chain on track if you encounter bumpy terrain and protect the sprocket teeth if you hop a steep curb and bash the middle of the bike. By not including a second or third front sprocket they reduced the need for tuneups, kept the price lower and focused weight-addition on the utilitarian extras… the medium sized ProTour weighed ~54 lbs which isn’t bad considering all of the included accessories. Ten speeds is just enough to hit the 28 mph top speed where the motor cuts out and SLX is one of the highest groupsets I’ve seen on any of the IZIP electric bikes. Both wheels also offer quick release for easy transport or tuneups and I love the Shimano SLX drivetrain components. I love that the frame, fork, spokes and other accessories are dark or black because it creates a cohesive mean look that also helps the cables and wires blend in (though most are internally routed). Both rims and hubs are upgraded with brass nipples, larger 13 mm spokes and thru axles (15 mm front and 12 mm rear) which should handle the increased forces of higher speed riding and the large 180 mm hydraulic disc brakes. Complimenting this are larger 700 x 45c (1 5/8″ diameter) tires, comfortable ergonomic grips and a basic seat post suspension. ![]() The ProTour delivers a nimble commuter style suspension fork that’s narrower and offers modest 63 mm travel but includes lockout adjust. This motor still isn’t as responsive or refined as Bosch but it’s much improved over earlier generations from TranzX and this keeps the price of the bike lower at $2999. I found that it operated quite well but did suffer from some mashing of the chain, sprockets and derailleur when shifting while pedaling due to the lack of shift detection and standard brake levers without motor inhibitors. The motor used here is a new one from TranzX called the M25GTS that measures speed, cadence and pedal torque to adjust power output dynamically. But it’s not especially loud, the larger chainring has a limited RPM output but offers lots of power so you really feel a boost when shifting gears up. From integrated LED lights that run off the main battery pack to a cafe style frame lock, full length plastic fenders with mud flaps, a seat post suspension, upgraded Wellgo platform pedals and a standard gauge rear rack it will get the job done rain or shine, night or day and it’s extremely fast… As a Class 3 speed pedelec it’s capable of hitting 28 mph in the highest level of assist when pedaling with the higher gears.

Category: Puzzle, Simulation, Board Games, Adventure ![]() ![]() Walking out of range to unload their chunks will still reset them though. ![]() Since Minecraft 1.4, village data is stored in the savegame, meaning houses will not be rechecked after a restart. So when trying out house setups, make sure to destroy the door block after every change to force the game to check the door again. When refreshing a house, it doesn't matter if the house check fails. If there are no other houses in the village, the village will be removed from the game as well. Otherwise, the house will be detached from the village after about 1 minute. Once a house is added to a village, a villager has to stay nearby to "refresh" it (range is the same as for adding houses: up to 16 blocks for both horizontal axes, and up to 4 blocks vertically). ![]() That's why all houses in the screenshots up until now are technically villages, too. If there is none, a new village will be created for the house. When a door passes the check, it will be added to an existing village if the distance to the village center is at most 32 + |Village Radius| blocks (in other words, if the door is at most 32 blocks away from the village boundaries). However, on the bottom level, there are two roofs on the left, so in most cases, the inside is on the left. On the top level, there are no roofs or roofed blocks on the left side, but one on the right side, so the inside should be on the right. There is one exception though: if the villager is exactly five blocks above the door when the door is scanned for the first time, the lower level won't be checked at all. Houses are always scanned from bottom to top, so if the lower and upper level checks would lead to different insides and outsides, the lower level counts. This means that in order to add a house, a villager needs to be within 16 blocks of the door in both horizontal axes (x and z), and within 4 blocks vertically (y). The area it scans is a cuboid with width and length = 33 blocks and height = 9 blocks, the villager being in the center. Only the 10 blocks inline with the door (and everything above them) matter.Įvery few seconds, Minecraft scans the area around villagers for houses. Blocks on the other sides, and blocks farther away than 5 blocks have no impact at all. Whenever you place a door, you're looking at the front of it, i.e., the direction you're facing is the one that matters. So these blocks can be used to create a roof.Īpparently, the direction the door is facing also plays a role here. Stairs and single slabs prevent light propagation as well. For example, opaque blocks (like stone and dirt) completely prevent light from passing through, while water reduces the light level by 3. ![]() Non-transparent blocks are blocks which diminish sunlight when it passes through or completely stop it. A roofed block has a non-transparent block anywhere above it (along the Y-axis). If both sides have the same amount of roofs or roofed blocks, the door won't be considered a house at all.Ī block can be a roof if the block itself is not fully transparent. If there are more roofs or roofed blocks on one side, this side will be the inside. To determine the inside and outside, Minecraft compares the 5 blocks behind the door to the 5 blocks in front of it (all inline with the door). In Minecraft, a house is a wooden door which meets a certain condition: there must be a clear inside and outside. ![]() ![]() ![]() Oh Sully is Luthor from the Warriors and Luther from 48 hours.
