If that’s not enough, mussels that wash up on shore can break into razor-sharp, foot-cutting bits on beaches that normally are covered in inviting sand. The mussels also have an indirect effect on larger fish because all their vacuuming up of particles can make lake water so clear that the fish are easy pickings for birds and other visual predators. They are huge eaters, so they gobble up plankton particles that are an important part of the diet of other invertebrates and small fish. They can clog up whatever they attach to - boat motors, dam intake pipes, docks, buoys, shoreline rocks - anything under the water surface. As many as 700,000 of the mussels can crowd onto a square meter, piling atop each other and literally sticking around in hard-to-dislodge, crusty mollusk mosh pits. They start attaching to underwater surfaces by using thread-like, protein-based strands that are tipped with a super glue-grade sticky surface. Within two to three weeks of conception, those veligers start forming the distinctive zebra mussel shells that have a unique D-shaped flat-bottom and black-and-white zigzag stripes. The fertilized eggs develop into larvae called veligers, which can be transported long distances by water currents. Male mussels can release more than 200 million sperm in that same time to fertilize those eggs. Female zebra mussels can each release a million eggs into bodies of water per year. It is easy to understand how it happened. Texas, Utah, Nevada, California and now Colorado. Since then, they have spread throughout the Great Lakes and into drainages of the Mississippi River. by stowing away in the ballast of water on ships from the Caspian Sea in the late 1980s. They are believed to have come to the U.S. Zebra mussels present such huge problems in such tiny carapaces because they are so exceedingly clingy and so prolific at reproducing. But we’ve done an incredible amount of planning leading up to this, and I feel really optimistic it will work.” Breeding proliferates problems for other animals, beach health and tourist experiences It’s disappointing that we are where we are today. “I have really mixed feelings,” Walters said after a morning on the officially infested lake. Wednesday morning, in a mix of driving sleet and swirling snowflakes, a team of wildlife biologists looked like they might be the ones frozen out as they hopped into flat-bottomed jet boats and took to the diminished lake on what would normally be opening day for recreational boaters. The 563-acre Highline Lake had already been lowered this winter to 25% of its normal capacity to make mussel spotting easier and to freeze out any that might be lurking in the rocks along the shoreline. From panic into actionĪ half year of zebra-mussel headaches later - and with around a dozen more of the zebra mussel’s relatives turning up on rocks and boat slips at Highline - that plan moved into high gear this week. “I felt shocked and, yes, a little bit sick,” he said.ĬPW briefly went into panic mode before countless meetings and planning sessions would birth a battle plan - all for a bean-sized bit of shell and tissue. State invasive species program manager Robert Walters, who had been fighting mussel invaders for a decade, had a similar reaction to Martinez on that end. The invader that had likely hitched a ride to Highline on a boat, was rushed by pickup truck to CPW offices in Denver where lab tests that afternoon confirmed it was what it looked like. ![]() It represented the first infestation in Colorado, a state that, in 2008, had passed the toughest “mussel free” legislation in the country to try to prevent this kind of thing from happening. He also knew how many years of work and nail-biting worry were ahead because of this single mussel. He was well aware how much work had gone into preventing this mussel from invading Colorado for the previous 15 years. “At first, I was in denial: This can’t be happening here.” “It was sickening,” recounted Martinez, who, until that morning six months ago, had never seen a zebra mussel except in pictures. They are fond of attaching to rigid submerged objects. The pipe had been dangling there in the lake since the previous spring as part of CPW’s protocol for hunting for zebra mussels. It was clinging to a piece of PVC pipe submerged in the waters of the popular boating, swimming and camping lake that sits in the middle of Mesa County farm country not far from Colorado’s border with Utah. ![]() It was a shelled aquatic critter not much bigger than Martinez’s pinkie fingernail.

The company opted for a bold marketing angle. The low-calorie ice cream was first sold in hip spots like L.A.’s Canyon Country Store and enjoyed modest success. The lid being a “golden halo” helped seal the concept. Halo Top was chosen in keeping with a heavenly or angelic theme. Originally founded as Eden Creamery in 2012, the company changed its name to Halo Top a year later (the name Eden was taken). He opted for the plant-based, non-caloric sweetener stevia, extracted from the Stevia rebaudiana plant of Brazil and Paraguay. “If I came out with a frozen Greek yogurt, any of the yogurt guys would stomp me immediately,” he says. He dropped the Greek yogurt from the mix. It took Woolverton about a year to perfect the recipe. “It wasn’t until later, when I got an actual $20 ice cream maker, that I was like, ‘Oh, wow, there’s something here.” 2 “It was just something that I was making in my kitchen because I didn’t like sugar,” says Woolverton. In 2011, Halo Top’s founder, Justin Woolverton, was experimenting with Greek yogurt and fruit to produce a low-calorie frozen dessert that resembled ice cream. Halo Top’s rise is a study in PUBLICS, but you have to start at the beginning. “When you use it expertly you are a pro PR!” “When you know that you can grasp the subject of PR. ![]() “All expert PR is aimed at a specific, carefully surveyed, special audience called a ‘_ public.’ “There are hundreds of different types of publics.” There is no single word form for ‘public’ in PR. “In PRese (PR slang) use ‘public’ along with another word always. “WRONG PUBLIC sums up about 99 percent of the errors in PR activities and adds up to the majority reason for PR failures. “The broad population to PR professionals is divided up into separate publics.” “‘PUBLIC’ is a professional term to PR people. ![]() “One hears ‘ the public,’ a star says ‘ my public.’ You look in the dictionary and you find ‘public’ means an organized or general body of people.” They took in $49.1 million in revenue for 2016 and experienced nearly 21,000 percent expansion over three years.

Both the Vanilla and Chocolate flavors were extremely creamy and rich. Since Halo Top doesn’t use artificial softeners and is low in fat and sugar, they recommend that you give the cartons a couple minutes on the counter to let the ice cream soften up a bit before digging in. My favorite was the Lemon Cake-it was just the perfect amount of zesty freshness and sweet richness! I was skeptical at first-how could ice cream taste good if it is only 240 calories per pint? With each bite, I could taste the ingredients of authentic Belgian chocolate, pure Madagascar vanilla, and real California strawberries in the respective flavors. ![]() Halo comes in four flavors: Chocolate, Vanilla, Strawberry, and Lemon cake.

These two had a history that stretches back for many years. That’s especially true when you start thinking about how there are only a select few people left who actually remember him, with Gibbs (Mark Harmon) being the most prominent one. Otherwise, you’re left with some sort of dream sequence and so much time has passed now where it’s hard to see who would be dreaming about him. ![]() There’s a very good chance that this could be, (once more) the right way for the writers to incorporate the character. Mike Franks died several years back on the show and since that time, we’ve seen him incorporated via some flashbacks. Wrapping upĭespite her husband’s fame, Nancy and her family maintain a quiet private life.Whenever you do see Mike Franks returning, though, there is one question that comes along with it: How will he be coming back? The writers have to get creative incorporating Watson given that his character is, sadly, no longer among the living. Watson has authored the foreword to a book for teachers and parents titled Stars in Her Eyes, Navigating the Maze of Childhood Autism by Elizabeth Obrey and Dr. He even features in the organization’s video promotion. He is an honorary chairman at Stars for Autism, a nonprofit organization in Battlefield, Missouri. Watson has taken an active role in educating people about autism since his daughter has the condition. In 2010, he played Sam in A Christmas Snow. He joined the Shorris Film production company with Clint Morris and Christopher Showerman, making their first film, the Western Between the Sand and the Sky. In 1998, Watson performed with Jennifer Love Hewitt as a special guest on Saturday Night Live, where he parodied his role in I Know What You Did Last Summer. Since 2006, Watson has appeared on NCIS as a recurring cast member playing Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs’s mentor and former superior, Mike Franks. Watson has guest-starred in an episode of The Mentalist and Castle. He also appeared on episodes of Ghost Whisperer alongside Jennifer Love Hewitt and CSI. Watson has several television credits, including eight made-for-television movies: American Gothic, The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles, Cold Case, Matlock, The Lazarus Man, JAG, Walker, Texas Ranger, Criminal Minds, and Prison Break. Watson also played the primary antagonist on I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997) and reprised the role in its sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998). In 1989, Watson transitioned to film, and by 2005, he had appeared in 43 feature films, including Sommerby, Assassins, Dead Bird, Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Something to Talk About, and Songcatcher. He continued working in outdoor dramas, dinner theatres, and small repertory groups. He attended Louisiana Tech for two years before transferring to Berea College in Kentucky, where he made his debut stage performance as Petruchio in a production of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Muse Watson was born in Alexandria, Louisiana, U.S., on 20 July 1948. However, she has autism, and as a result, Watson has appeared to talk to parents with children with autism and is an advocate for autistic people. Nancy and her husband were blessed with one child, a daughter whose name and birth date are undisclosed. Despite her husband’s fame, the family keeps their private life away from the spotlight. She rose to stardom after marrying Watson on 24 October 1997. Nancy Ann Naumer keeps her details away from the limelight hence little is known about her personal and professional life.

Look for something that’s fast, with decent storage, and has the ability to process the audio you will be recording. Picking a reliable computer is crucial, it’s the backbone of your studio setup. Here are the essential pieces of equipment you’ll need to start making music. Once you’ve chosen the right space for your home studio set up, it’s time to invest in proper recording equipment to fill the room. You can find them on Amazon or at your local music store. With acoustic absorption panels, the only sounds being recorded are the ones directly coming from the instrument or microphone. Without these, you risk those reflections being recorded. If the space sounds like it has too much echo, add sound absorbers like foam panels to cover the walls.įoam panels don’t just help you soundproof the room for an outside listener, their real purpose is to absorb sound reflections inside the studio. Look for thick, bassy sounds and position your monitors there. Once you’ve found a few potential spots for your speakers, find the position where the speaker seems to sound closest at a further distance. Listen for the place in the room that best supports the ‘sound-field’ (the bass is most commonly the area where you’ll hear the greatest difference depending on where you’re standing). ![]() ![]() Get them to circle around you (standing 6-9 ft away) while you stand in the center of the room. Ask your friend to hold one of your monitors while playing a track. While there’s (expensive) sound equipment available to test the sound in your space, if you’re on a budget, you can test it yourself with the help of a friend. Begin with an empty room and position your gear where it sounds best (not where it looks best). Clear the floor space, take everything off the walls, and remove anything that vibrates. Once you’ve chosen your studio location, it’s time to prepare the space for recording. Ideally choose a room with high ceilings, symmetrical walls, and irregular surfaces – a rectangular-shaped room is best. ![]() The first major consideration when building a home studio is the location is there room for soundproofing? Will noise escape? Is the room big enough to give you enough space between your monitor speakers and the walls? And all equipment needed? A well-designed space can be the difference between smooth sailing and total frustration. To successfully set up a studio at home, you will first need to make sure the location is right and invest in some quality equipment that will enable you to produce your next hit! Let’s dive in. Instead of spending money on studio time, you can invest in equipment at home to give you unlimited access to creating music full-time. If you’re serious about pursuing a career in music, building a studio in your home space is the perfect way to further your skills and make music in a flexible environment. ![]() ![]() Weather: A Winter Weather Advisory is issued for Wednesday night for light snow showers north and west of Harris County.

Data sources are as follows: diabetes 9, cardiovascular outcomes 8, dysautonomia 12, 201, ME/CFS 10, 202 and breakthrough infections 4. The hazard ratio is the ratio of how often an event occurs in one group relative to another in this case people who have had COVID-19 compared with those who have not. Six months after breakthrough infection, increased risks were observed for cardiovascular conditions, coagulation and haematological conditions, death, fatigue, neurological conditions and pulmonary conditions in the same cohort. Additionally, there is clear increased risk of developing myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and dysautonomia. One year after the initial infection, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections increased the risk of cardiac arrest, death, diabetes, heart failure, pulmonary embolism and stroke, as studied with use of US Department of Veterans Affairs databases. There are currently no validated effective treatments.īecause diagnosis-specific data on large populations with long COVID are sparse, outcomes from general infections are included and a large proportion of medical conditions are expected to result from long COVID, although the precise proportion cannot be determined. With significant proportions of individuals with long COVID unable to return to work 7, the scale of newly disabled individuals is contributing to labour shortages 15. Symptoms can last for years 13, and particularly in cases of new-onset ME/CFS and dysautonomia are expected to be lifelong 14. Long COVID encompasses multiple adverse outcomes, with common new-onset conditions including cardiovascular, thrombotic and cerebrovascular disease 8, type 2 diabetes 9, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) 10, 11 and dysautonomia, especially postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) 12 (Fig. Hundreds of biomedical findings have been documented, with many patients experiencing dozens of symptoms across multiple organ systems 7 (Fig. There are many research challenges, as outlined in this Review, and many open questions, particularly relating to pathophysiology, effective treatments and risk factors. Long COVID is associated with all ages and acute phase disease severities, with the highest percentage of diagnoses between the ages of 36 and 50 years, and most long COVID cases are in non-hospitalized patients with a mild acute illness 6, as this population represents the majority of overall COVID-19 cases. The incidence is estimated at 10–30% of non-hospitalized cases, 50–70% of hospitalized cases 2, 3 and 10–12% of vaccinated cases 4, 5. At least 65 million individuals around the world have long COVID, based on a conservative estimated incidence of 10% of infected people and more than 651 million documented COVID-19 cases worldwide 1 the number is likely much higher due to many undocumented cases. Long COVID (sometimes referred to as ‘post-acute sequelae of COVID-19’) is a multisystemic condition comprising often severe symptoms that follow a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. ![]() Additionally, to strengthen long COVID research, future studies must account for biases and SARS-CoV-2 testing issues, build on viral-onset research, be inclusive of marginalized populations and meaningfully engage patients throughout the research process. Although these key findings are critical to understanding long COVID, current diagnostic and treatment options are insufficient, and clinical trials must be prioritized that address leading hypotheses. ![]() ![]() In this Review, we explore the current literature and highlight key findings, the overlap with other conditions, the variable onset of symptoms, long COVID in children and the impact of vaccinations. ![]() Biomedical research has made substantial progress in identifying various pathophysiological changes and risk factors and in characterizing the illness further, similarities with other viral-onset illnesses such as myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome and postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome have laid the groundwork for research in the field. At least 65 million individuals worldwide are estimated to have long COVID, with cases increasing daily. More than 200 symptoms have been identified with impacts on multiple organ systems. Long COVID is an often debilitating illness that occurs in at least 10% of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections. |
