![]() Further, it was claimed that the health QR code relies on ‘troves of data the authorities have collected from individuals - including their personal information, location, travel history, recent contacts and health status.’ĭespite different practices at local levels, there were three sets of ‘uniform standards’ jointly issued, in May 2020, by the State Administration for Market Supervision and the National Commission on Standardisation for the establishment and national use of the health QR code. Different versions of the code, containing different data and information, used in different places were incompatible. ![]() The national system is built upon the ‘ Internet + Medical Health’ system as well as other data systems that had been established by both public and private organisations.Īs a local initiative, early adoption of the QR code system by local governments was inconsistent. This local development was quickly endorsed by the central government and, thus, China began to encourage the nationwide use of a health QR code system (or a (paper-based) health pass system where the electronic version was not yet available), without providing details or regulation, when the Notice on the Prevention and Control of Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia Epidemic with Scientific Precision was issued on 24 February 2020. Hangzhou was the first city in China to introduce a health App in early February 2020, and soon similar mechanisms were widely promoted and adopted by local governments. The emergence of a national QR code system Among these is a serious question concerning the protection of privacy in China, where a right balance between its protection and the need for safeguarding public health is yet to be established. While an early study suggests that the health QR code had helped control the spread of Covid-19 in China, the effectively compulsory use of the QR code and the apparently unconstrained collection of personal information and data for the system have caused some major concerns about its potential for misuse or abuse at the expense of individual rights. It has now developed into a national Health QR Code System ( Jiankang Ma). China is perhaps the first country to use tracking mechanisms through mobile phones and/or social media Apps such as WeChat and Alipay to track people’s movements or to stop people diagnosed of Covid-19 from travelling. (Typically a C-section only has 6 units but Dr. I started to hemorrhage and was given 60 units of blood. That's called DIC - disseminated intravascular coagulation. If you're lucky enough to be one of the 40% to survive that phase of an AFE, the second phase starts. When amniotic cells get into a mother's bloodstream and you are allergic, you go into anaphylactic shock. ![]() Later, they told me it was an amniotic fluid embolism (AFE), which happens in about 1 in 40,000 pregnancies. Jacob was delivered, and within seconds, I went into a seizure and flat-lined. Then I told the doctor what I had been saying for months: "There's something wrong and I'm not going to make it through this surgery." The last thing I remember is them putting soap on my belly to get ready for the C-section. When they wheeled me out into the operating room, I wept because I knew I wouldn't see her again. I smiled and said, "You're going to meet your brother Jacob soon and I love you." I didn't want her last memory of her mother to be crying. So I put on the bravest, happiest face I could as I hugged my 2-year-old daughter. I had to shut down my computer before he could reply. No matter what happens, you've made me the happiest woman in the whole world." I begged the surgeons to hold off until his arrival, but the time was now. Please take care of everybody and love your son. While the doctors prepared me for surgery, I traded Skype messages with Jonathan, believing we might never speak again: "I just want you to know you are the most important person in my life and you're an incredible father. I rushed to the hospital with our daughter, Adina, and the nanny, and he hightailed it to the airport. I was grounded in Chicago. When I started bleeding all over the kitchen floor, I called him to say the baby was coming now. One week before I was scheduled to have the C-section, my husband was in New York for a big conference. Unbeknownst to me, she flagged my file and noted that there should be extra blood and a crash cart in the room at the time of my delivery. After she patiently walked me through the surgical plan, I decided to tell her about my premonitions, so I could ask what would happen in those situations. To help ease my anxiety about the procedure, my gynecologist set me up for an anesthesia consultation. I was so sure I was going to pass away that I just detached and disconnected.īecause of my previa, I was scheduled to get a C-section at 37 weeks. I didn't take pictures of my pregnant stomach. I bought nothing for the baby or his room. I started writing goodbye letters to my parents, my siblings, Jonathan, my stepdaughter Valentina, and daughter Adina. I posted on Facebook asking if anybody had my blood type. So I told everyone I met, hoping that somebody had the same experience I had had and could tell me who to talk to. We saw as many doctors as possible, but after many tests, my fears still weren't confirmed. I didn't feel insane - but everybody else thought I was. ![]() This was the first time I'd had an overwhelming sense of foreboding. In the past, I've had a strong sense of intuition, but I'd never have claimed to see the future. ![]() And in some worst cases, the placenta can join to the uterus and cause massive bleeding.) (Placenta previa affects about 1 in every 200 pregnancies. I had detailed, specific visions: The baby would be fine, but my organs would combine, and I was going to hemorrhage, need a hysterectomy, and die. I would be in the grocery store and imagine how I was going to die in labor. I dizzily clutched the stroller and knew something was wrong. Suddenly, I had a vision of the fountain flowing with blood. For now, you're being crazy."Īnd maybe I was being crazy, but that February, when I was taking my daughter to a class, we walked by a dry fountain, and I reminisced about how nice it is when it's on. He just told me: "We'll deal with a crisis in a crisis. After seven rounds of IVF, I was expecting our second child and had had an easy pregnancy so far. But when the radiologist told us I had placenta previa, I turned to my husband and said, "I have no idea what that is, but I have a bad feeling." Now, my husband Jonathan, who has a PhD in economics and was an Air Force pilot, is more logical, not one to think the worst. It all started at our 20-week ultrasound that January. I died on the operating table. But I didn't know I would live to tell about it, or that I would remember all the details. On May 30, 2013, as doctors rolled me into the operating room for my emergency C-section, I knew beyond a doubt that I was going to die - and I was right. ![]() You should be with someone who can give you love, a good home, a car, a family. “I’m sorry I’ve never said it before but I do.

Credit: NASA Visualization Technology Applications and Development (VTAD) Scientists suspect the darkened region may represent an area of less contaminated ice with differently sized grains than the material at higher latitudes on either side of the band.Ī 3D model of Tethys, a moon of Saturn. This less-dense cratering suggests past internal activity and resurfacing of the terrain.Īround the equator on its leading side, Tethys wears a band of slightly darker surface material. The ancient Teiresias impact site is so badly overprinted and eroded by impact weathering and degradation that only a circular pattern of hummocks remains to indicate the old crater rim.Ĭloser to the equator, the terrain is darker and has fewer craters. For instance, near the prominent peaked crater Telemachus (Odysseus' son in "The Odyssey") are the remnants of Teiresias Crater (named for a famous soothsayer of ancient Greece). The Tethyan northern hemisphere is lighter colored and heavily reworked from ages of bombardment. The fact that Tethys and other Saturnian moons have such objects implies that their respective Lagrangian points have been stable against outside influences for millions of years. These three moons complete their orbits around Saturn moving as a unit, spaced out at 60-degree intervals first Telesto, then Tethys, followed by Calypso. These smaller moons are held in Lagrangian points (L4 and L5, respectively), where objects are stable with the larger controlling body. Tethys has gravitationally locked two smaller moons into its own subsystem - Telesto and Calypso. As with all but two of the major Saturnian moons, Tethys is tidally locked in phase with its parent planet - the same side always faces toward Saturn. Tethys orbits 183,000 miles (295,000 kilometers) from Saturn, taking 45.3 hours to circle the planet. The Cassini spacecraft has added details including a great variety of colors at small scales suggesting a variety of materials not seen elsewhere. The Voyager images showed a major impact crater and a great chasm. Tethys appeared as a tiny dot to astronomers until the Voyager (1 and 2) encounters in 19. Also contributing to the high reflectivity is that Tethys is bombarded by Saturn E-ring water-ice particles generated by geysers on Enceladus. Many of the crater floors on Tethys are bright, which also suggests an abundance of water ice. Tethys has a high reflectivity (or visual albedo) of 1.229 in the visual range, again suggesting a composition largely of water ice, which would behave like rock in the Tethyan average temperature of -305 degrees Fahrenheit (-187 degrees Celsius). Tethys' density is 0.97 times that of liquid water, which suggests that Tethys is composed almost entirely of water ice plus a small amount of rock. This may be because its proximity to Saturn causes more tidal warming, and that warming kept Tethys partially molten longer, erasing or dulling more of the early terrain. This cold, airless and heavily scarred body is very similar to sister moons Dione and Rhea except that Tethys is not as heavily cratered as the other two. Its irregular shape is 331 miles (533 kilometers) in mean radius, with dimensions 669 x 657 x 654 miles (1076.8 x 1057.4 x 1052.6 kilometers). Giovanni Cassini discovered Tethys on March 21, 1684. ![]() While the first console never set the world alight, Halo and its sequel gave it the jump-start it needed, establishing a foothold in the industry. It’s also hard to imagine the Xbox brand without Halo, with Bungie’s debut effort helping to prove that the Microsoft console could work. That’s a massive achievement and incredibly impressive for a title that started life as a real-time strategy game for Mac computers. Halo is one of those few gaming brands that has jumped into the public consciousness and established itself as part of popular culture. Along with spin-off games and sequels, there are comics, novels, and toys based on the series, as well as a big-budget TV show coming to Paramount+ next year. Of course, Halo: CE also marked the start of a franchise that has not only dominated the gaming world but also expanded to other areas. Players were even given the freedom to go at their own pace and poke around, rather than going from corridor to corridor in a linear fashion. Only the likes of Mario and Sonic can claim to be as famous with gamers and the general public.Īided by the beautiful presentation and gorgeous orchestral soundtrack that was almost unlike anything seen on a console up to that point, Halo: CE was a game just begging to be explored. He instantly became a mascot for Xbox and one of the most recognisable characters within the industry, known around the world by his iconic battle armour. The Chief himself resonated with players, despite largely being a faceless vessel that fans use to experience the story. It’s a classic sci-fi tale inspired by the likes of Ringworld, Ender’s Game, and Starship Troopers and, with a few twists, captivated fans. Players stepped into the role of Master Chief, a biologically augmented supersoldier, as he battles against the Covenant on a strange world built by an extinct civilization. ![]() Bungie took a more cinematic approach to storytelling than what came before, including long cutscenes and lots of in-game dialogue to add exposition. The narrative in Halo: CE drove everything along and created an air of mystery, pushing you to uncover the secrets hidden away on the giant structure. But more important than all of that was the inclusion of a proper story, something that was practically unheard of in the genre. The multiplayer contained a huge variety of maps and game modes, allowing smaller action-packed matches or larger and more tactical battles. There was exciting vehicular combat, with players able to pilot tanks and weaponized 4x4s along with alien Covenant machinery. Halo offered a bit of something for everyone and all of it was fine-tuned and balanced from the get-go. What it did do so successfully, though, was blend lots of different ideas together in a neat package that few others have managed this well before or since. In fact, it wasn’t even Bungie’s first release featuring an armored marine in the near future working with AI companions to battle a hostile alien force. However, in all honesty, Halo: CE wasn’t that original a concept and certainly can’t claim to be the first FPS on a console. ![]() Back then, platformers, action-adventure games, and RPGs dominated the console space, but Halo changed that, popularizing first-person shooters on every platform. It’s a scary realisation if, like me, you were 10 years old at the time and are now a fully grown adult with a family to look after and a mortgage to pay. There’s no getting away from the fact that today, November 15th, 2021, marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Halo: Combat Evolved. ![]() We offer no-obligation price quotes at any time, so feel free to give us a call anytime at +1-70.

It was the scene of constant and interminable disputes, disorders, of acts of lawlessness, of brutalities and horrors of every conceivable description, such as had never before fallen to the lot of any other people upon this hemisphere to witness and endure, and the end was not yet. This was a fruitful field for unprincipled speculators, foreign and domestic, and of rapacious villains, private and official. “The history, in detail, of the governmental administration of affairs of the city of New York during the first one hundred years presents a pitiful record of inefficiencies, inconsistencies, extortions and corruptions that seem almost incredible of belief.

Luigi's Mach 8 appears in Super Smash Bros. The Mach 8 has been regularly available in pipes and is part of the Daily Selects set. The game introduces a koinobori-styled variant called the Karp Kart and a black and flame-styled variant called the Mach 8-R, both of which are classified as High-End karts. The Mach 8 increases the duration of Slipstream boosts and the number of points earned for performing Slipstreams. It uses the Slim tires from Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The Mach 8 returns in Mario Kart Tour where it is classified as a Super kart. It shares stats with only the Sports Coupe and Inkstriker. ![]() ![]() Its stats have also changed to slightly boosting weight and traction, while slightly lowering acceleration and handling. While the Mach 8 is a starting vehicle body in Mario Kart 8, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe it must be unlocked by collecting coins. Champion's Tunic Link uses this vehicle as well but is equipped with the Triforce Tires instead. In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, CPU Yoshi and Birdo are also seen occasionally using this body, both with the Slim tires. In fact, Luigi's main artwork also depicts him driving the Mach 8. The engine is supercharged, resembling a flat-twelve from a Ferrari Testarossa, and can also be heard when the kart is moving.ĬPU-controlled Luigi may occasionally use this vehicle body, often paired with the Slim tires. The kart itself shares the same exact stats with the Sports Coupe, Circuit Special, Gold Standard, B Dasher, and P-Wing. The front and back of the body illuminate when the body goes into anti-gravity mode. It is a midweight component that offers good speed, but has below average acceleration and poor traction.
