![]() In Mississauga, Canada a driver of a van was run over by a pickup truck during the truck driver's fit of road rage ( Toronto Star, 17 June, 2000). ![]() The following stories represent brief excerpts of road rage reports from the popular press and suggest that road rage is indeed a global phenomenon. However, my findings also indicate that road rage is by no means limited to Western societies. And in fact, my findings - which due to a relative dearth of scholarly research are based largely on my analysis of 33 newspaper and magazine reports covering a three-year period from June 1997 to July 2000 - do suggest that the phenomenon of road rage is a more frequent occurrence in Britain, Canada, and the United States than in other countries. When I first began researching the phenomenon coined "road rage" by the British tabloid press (Stephen, 1999), I expected that most incidents and concerns would be limited to the industrialized societies of the West, which are generally considered to be more fast-paced, individualistic, and congested than less industrialized nations. Ultimately, it is hoped that further analysis will support efforts to resolve the phenomenon of road rage. This 2-part study was conducted to: 1) more closely examine the conflict phenomenon associated with growing reports of aggression and violence on the roadways, and 2) present a conflict model analysis of road rage that might prompt discussion and further research among CR theorists. When both cars pull to the side of the road and the drivers exit their vehicles, what do you do? These scenarios are true experiences of "road rage," but they do not tell the whole story. In response, your driver becomes angry and begins to yell and make obscene gestures to the driver ahead, who then signals for your driver to join him on the roadside to settle their rising annoyance with each other. Eventually, he begins to flash his headlights and honk the horn at the slower driver, who retaliates by driving even slower. When your driver approaches a car ahead of him going about 15 miles per hour slower than he is, he jokingly begins to speculate aloud about the I.Q. Everyone knows that the movie has already started and is keenly aware of the driver's intent to "make-up time" by speeding. You're a passenger in a vehicle on your way to a movie theatre with a group of friends. Then, infuriated at the reckless motorist, your driver moves to the right lane, aligns herself with the offending motorist, yells at the motorist, and then proceeds to toss a bottle of Gatorade out of the window to hit the motorist's car. You're traveling in the left lane along a major interstate as a passenger in a sports utility vehicle at the rate of 85 mph when all of a sudden a motorist recklessly veers in front of your vehicle forcing your driver to hit the brakes in order to avoid a collision.

![]() Tomatoes are the most popular edible plant grown in backyard gardens. This can also help to prevent fungal disease, further supporting proper airflow and allowing wet foliage to dry more readily.Prevent and treat tomato diseases to ensure your harvest of America’s favorite homegrown vegetable. Some gardeners like to remove the lower leaves from their tomato plants, effectively preventing any foliage from touching the surface of the soil. Adequate airflow is also important, to reduce humidity and give your plants a chance to dry off after periods of rain.īe sure to provide proper spacing between plants, as recommended for the cultivars you have selected. Proper watering is a precautionary measure that can be taken to prevent all sorts of fungal diseases. ![]() Removing weeds and volunteer seedlings is particularly important, since the pathogen can overwinter on tomato seeds as well as potato tubers, and produce infected seedlings the next season. Avoid overhead sprinkler irrigation, and only water at the base of plants.Check starts before you plant them, to make sure they are free of disease symptoms.Removing any volunteer tomato and potato plants, and any wild nightshades, from the garden.There are several steps you can take to prevent late blight from taking hold in your garden. Purge hairy nightshade weeds from your garden and surrounding areas, and keep a close eye on your petunias for signs of infection if they’re growing nearby.īe sure to rotate nightshades with other crops from season to season when growing them in your garden, and check for spread to other vulnerable plants if they are growing in close proximity. Infected weeds may contribute to further spread. The organism may attack other solanaceous plants as well, including hairy nightshade ( Solanum physalifolium), and petunias grown in greenhouses. But if the weather will remain wet for a while, it is better to destroy the plants immediately than to wait for a dry day.Īs described above, potatoes are also highly vulnerable to late blight. Ideally, you should destroy the plants on a dry, sunny day, so the spores will die quickly. Dig them up in their entirety, till them under, or cut them off at the soil line and immediately bag them, so the spores will not spread. If you find evidence of late blight that is already severe, remove and destroy the diseased plants immediately. But remember that this disease spreads rapidly under suitable conditions, and there is no cure. I’ll cover how to determine whether this is a viable option a little later in the article. The first inkling that your tomato plants are infected will be evidenced by small, water-soaked lesions on the leaves. This disease tends to occur later in the season than the similarly named early blight, typically after plants have bloomed, and when weather conditions are favorable. How to Identify Late Blight on Tomato Plants Hot, dry conditions help to halt disease spread. Though infection may occur more slowly, if nights are moderately warm, and conditions are extremely wet during the day but hot, the disease can still develop in temperatures as high as 95☏. The spores can spread long distances on the wind, particularly in cloudy conditions. Infection spreads rapidly, and plants can succumb quickly, in a matter of days. If spores are present in these conditions, they can infect a plant in about 10 hours. The organism requires humidity above 90 percent to cause infection, and moderate temperatures in the range of 60 to 68☏. Conditions That Favor Late BlightĪgain, there is a reason that this type of pathogen is called a water mold. In cool, wet weather, this disease can cause entire fields of tomatoes to turn brown and wilt as though they have been hit by frost. The spores can spread rapidly to nearby gardens and even into commercial fields. It’s not just your crop that’s at stake, after all. ![]() The destructive ability of this pathogen makes it important for gardeners to be able to identify it and take swift action. In fact, the scientific name Phytophthora translates to “plant destroyer.” This type of water mold readily infects and may quickly kill plants. And each individual sporangium can start a new infection on another plant. To give you an idea of the scale that we’re talking about, a single lesion can produce as many as 100,000 to 300,000 sporangia per day. The receptacles that hold the spores (sporangia) can survive for up to an hour in dry, sunny conditions – and much longer in wet ones. These spores can travel for miles in the air, and under ideal conditions, they can infect plants on a broad scale. Wet, humid conditions caused by rainfall, dew, fog, or sprinkler irrigation are conducive to the spread of this pathogen. Once the plants have become infected, the organism can produce millions of spores in the right conditions. This disease can easily be introduced into gardens via infected tomato or potato plants. ![]() Despite the sophisticated technical background the programme is actually quite user friendly. In practice, this means that even complex programmes such as graphics and image processing tools can be operated remotely without having to put up with reduced quality images. The manufacturer claims that AnyDesk is the 'fastest TeamViewer alternative in the world' – in our overview it also scores well when it comes to image quality. According to the manufacturer, it’s possible to double the frame-rate, meaning that the data delay should only be a quarter of what its 'big brother', TeamViewer experiences. The specially developed process is called DeskRT and aims to reduce data volume during transmission. The remote connection via AnyDesk should be faster and sharper than TeamViewer, as well as being less likely to lag. The aim was to develop an improved transfer method. Some members of the AnyDesk development team also co-developed TeamViewer. Thinfinity Remote Desktop Workstation only offers fee-based tariffs.

Montage is a technique used by filmmakers to create the illusion of time passing in a fast-paced and dynamic method.Ī montage sequence can range from showing people’s daily routines to war scenes or even love stories. Usually, in movies and TV shows, there are many different scenes put together to show the passage of time, or the main character’s thoughts or emotions. There are many different types of montages, from one that solely focuses on one subject to one that features an audio track as well as visuals.Ī montage is a series of images that are used to tell a story. In contrast with crosscutting, which cuts from scene to scene, a parallel montage shows two or more scenes.Ī montage is a series of images edited together to make a short film. They had an armload of revolutionary ideas when it came to the new art form, but one stands out as being particularly influential: parallel montage. It was the second full-length feature for Eisenstein and his team and they made extraordinary use of the editing techniques that were available for their time. The most famous example is Sergei Eisenstein’s “Battleship Potemkin,” which was released in 1925. ![]() To understand what this means, it’s important to first look at how early montages were created. ![]() Montage is a term used in film and literature that describes the juxtaposition of successive images or text to create meaning. Montages allow directors to get across an idea without using dialogue-heavy sequences, which might not provide enough information about what’s happening on screen for viewers who aren’t following along closely. Montages can be made up of any number of clips from one movie, and are typically set to music. They are often used as transitions, or during moments of emotional high points. ![]() A montage is a film technique that compiles various scenes in order to condense the plot. ![]() The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends that people get a comprehensive eye exam by the age of 40 years, even if they have no other health problems. disinfecting contact lenses and replacing them often.avoiding touching contact lenses without first washing the hands.resting the eyes when using a computer by turning away from the screen every 20 minutes and looking at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.wearing sunglasses to protect the eyes from the sun, even on cloudy days.quitting smoking, if applicable, or avoiding secondhand smoke where possible.exercising regularly and eating a balanced diet.being aware of any existing health conditions or family medical history that may affect the eyes.getting regular eye exams with dilation, even in the absence of vision problems, to help catch any potential problems early.Laser treatment or surgery can correct it.Ī person can take steps to help keep their eyes and vision healthy. having another eye disease, disorder, or injury to the eyeĪ torn or detached retina needs emergency medical care, as it can lead to blindness if it goes untreated.a previous retinal detachment or torn retina, or a history of lattice degeneration.Risk factors for retinal detachment or tearing include: a sudden appearance of stars, sparkles, or flashes.It may tear the retina or detach it from the back of the eye. Sometimes, the vitreous gel pulls on the retina hard enough to cause damage. occur alongside other vision changes, such as new floaters or cloudiness.Movement or changes in the vitreous gel become more common as people age.Īlthough typically harmless, these flashes could signal a serious issue if they: As a result, the retina sends light signals to the brain, causing sparkles, stars, or flashes of light to appear in the field of vision. The vitreous gel that is in front of the retina can move around, sometimes pulling on the retina itself. This can be a sign of a serious condition, so a person should contact a doctor immediately. If the vision changes happen in only one eye, the person may have a retinal migraine. If they happen without a headache, it is called an ophthalmic migraine. If the vision changes happen before a headache, the condition is called migraine with aura. These changes typically occur in both eyes, and experts believe that they result from abnormal electrical signals in the brain. Retinal disturbances or decreased blood flow to the retina may cause these symptoms. In severe cases, the vision changes may include temporary blindness. They can also cause dark spots, heat-like waves, tunnel vision, or zigzagging lines. Migraine episodes can cause changes in vision, including seeing stars, sparkles, or flashes. Gently rubbing closed eyes is a way to experience this phenomenon without injury. Getting hit in the eye can also cause sparks or flashes of light because it bumps the retina, which becomes stimulated and sends light signals to the brain. A knock to this area can result in the brain sending out electrical signals that resemble light. The back of the brain contains the occipital lobe, which is the part of the brain that processes visual information. The following are the most common causes of disruptions in the brain or retina that could lead to a person seeing stars: A blow to the headĬartoons have portrayed this phenomenon - where impact to the head causes a person to see stars - for many years. On the other hand, bright spots or patches that appear and stay in place for a longer period may be due to another condition. People sometimes describe these temporary bursts of light as sparkles, streaks, or flashes, which appear and fade very quickly. In addition, if something disrupts the electrical activity in the brain, it may send false signals, making a person think that they see stars. The brain interprets these signals as light, even if no external light source exists. A special gel called the vitreous humor sits in front of the retina to protect it.Įither the retina becoming inflamed or the vitreous gel moving around or shrinking can stimulate the retina, causing it to send signals to the brain. This part of the eye sees light, but it does not see colors or shapes. The retina is a lining of cells that sits at the back of the eye and sends messages to the brain when it detects light.

Normally I sip my tea, but with yours I can't stop gulping it down! I actually throw some whole pepper corns in the teacup after I strain the other spices out… that prevents me from drinking it too fast because I don't want to swallow the peppercorns! haha! I also tried adding some cayenne pepper… the first time ended up too spicy, but the tiniest dash makes it burn a little more.Ī few questions… first, boiling the milk makes it stick to the sides, and then when I make another cup I have to wash it again. And this time I boiled it on the stove like you said… thanks for the science note explaining why that's necessary. When I found yours, I adjusted the ratio in my mix, added a ton of black pepper, more ginger, and a little more cinnamon and cardamom. And no black pepper!!!
