The established range of fetal heart rate is 110–160 bpm. PVCs are not uncommon and appear in patients without structural heart disease and in those with cardiac disease, independent of severity. Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs also referred to as premature ventricular beats, premature ventricular depolarizations, or ventricular extrasystoles) are triggered from the ventricular myocardium. ![]() PACs are triggered from the atrial myocardium in a variety of situations and are almost ubiquitous in the general population. The interval between the last sinus beat and the ectopic beat is shorter than the interval between two normal sinus beats. Premature atrial complexes (PACs also referred to as premature atrial beats, atrial ectopic beats, or atrial extrasystoles) are caused by early activation of the atrial myocardium because of an impulse generated by an ectopic focus within the atrial myocardium rather than the sinus node. Premature beats (extrasystoles or ectopic beats) can be atrial, ventricular, or rarely junctional in origin. Some of the specific terminology used in the article is explained in Appendix A ( Table A1). There are three main categories of fetal arrhythmias: (1) an irregular rhythm with a normal fetal heart rate (FHR), as a consequence to premature beats or to conduction anomalies (2) tachyarrhythmias (defined as FHR > 180 beats per minute-bpm), and (3) bradyarrhythmias (defined as FHR < 110 bpm). Persistent fetal arrhythmia can cause low cardiac output, heart failure, hydrops, and fetal demise. Most fetal arrhythmias are benign and transient however, in some cases, the irregularity of the fetal heart rhythm can indicate a serious condition-either of fetal or maternal origin. Our review aims to provide a practical guide for the diagnosis and management of common fetal arrythmias, from the joint perspective of the fetal medicine specialist and the cardiologist.įetal arrhythmias are detected in 1–2% of pregnancies. The efficacy of prenatal treatment for fetal AV block is limited. Approximately half of fetal heart blocks are in cases with structural heart defects, and AV block in cases with structurally normal heart is often caused by maternal anti-Ro/SSA antibodies. Persistent bradycardia outside labor or in the absence of placental pathology is mostly due to atrioventricular (AV) block. ![]() Fetal bradycardia is diagnosed when the fetal heart rate is slower than 110 bpm. Most fetal tachycardias can be terminated or controlled by transplacental or direct administration of anti-arrhythmic drugs. The most common fetal tachyarrhythmias are paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and atrial flutter. Tachyarrhythmias are diagnosed when the fetal heart rate is persistently above 180 beats per minute (bpm). Irregular rhythm due to atrial ectopic beats is the most common type of fetal arrhythmia and is generally benign. The analysis of fetal heart rhythm is based on ultrasound (M-mode and Doppler echocardiography). However, some of them are associated with structural defects or can cause heart failure, fetal hydrops, and can lead to intrauterine death. Fetal arrhythmias are mostly benign and transient. ![]() ![]() In Diagram B above, the eye is sighting along a line at a position below the actual image location. For light from the object to reflect off the mirror and travel to the eye, the light would have to reflect in such a way that the angle of incidence is less than the angle of reflection. This truth is depicted in the diagram below.įor example, in Diagram A above, the eye is sighting along a line at a position above the actual image location. Only when you sight at the image, does light from the object reflect off the mirror in accordance with the law of reflection and travel to your eye. If you were to sight along a line at a different location than the image location, it would be impossible for a ray of light to come from the object, reflect off the mirror according to the law of reflection, and subsequently travel to your eye. (The reason for this will be discussed later in Lesson 2). It just so happens that the light that travels along the line of sight to your eye follows the law of reflection. The diagram shows that the light reflects off the mirror in such a manner that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. As you sight at the image, light travels to your eye along the path shown in the diagram below. To view an image of a pencil in a mirror, you must sight along a line at the image location. It is common to observe this law at work in a Physics lab such as the one described in the previous part of Lesson 1. (These two angles are labeled with the Greek letter "theta" accompanied by a subscript read as "theta-i" for angle of incidence and "theta-r" for angle of reflection.) The law of reflection states that when a ray of light reflects off a surface, the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection. ![]() The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. This line is known as a normal line (labeled N in the diagram). ![]() At the point of incidence where the ray strikes the mirror, a line can be drawn perpendicular to the surface of the mirror. The ray of light that leaves the mirror is known as the reflected ray (labeled R in the diagram). In the diagram, the ray of light approaching the mirror is known as the incident ray (labeled I in the diagram). The diagram below illustrates the law of reflection. If a ray of light could be observed approaching and reflecting off of a flat mirror, then the behavior of the light as it reflects would follow a predictable law known as the law of reflection. To measure the radius of the circle, put the point of your draft compass in the center and put the other leg on the boundary of the circle.Light is known to behave in a very predictable manner. You can also see that the reflected portion is a lighter blue. On the right, there’s a circle that has been reflected about a line on top of the symmetry line of the circle. The reflection across this line is in a lighter shade of blue. Below, on the left, there’s a picture showing a circle reflected about a line outside of it, to its right. The small arc will then intersect the auxiliary line at the point you need to draw the reflected figure.Ī circle is a smooth figure without sides or vertices. Make a small arc where that point needs to be on the other side of the mirror line. Mark the distance between this point and the point on the figure you want to mirror with your draft compass. Put the point of the draft compass where the mirror line intersects the auxiliary line. When reflecting a figure, it’s smart to use a draft compass. Now, you’ll learn how to draw these kinds of mirror images of geometric figures, whether the mirror line is located outside of, or on top of, the figures. A figure has a mirror image just like you do-you can imagine looking at yourself in the mirror in the morning. ![]() ![]() When you reflect a figure, you draw its mirror image.

The bride wore a Tom Ford dress and Lorraine Schwartz jewels for the intimate ceremony. “It was really us and my sister, Elena,” Rita says. “There were about eight people there-just close friends and family, and parents on Zoom,” Taika says, noting he was particularly thrilled to have his best friend Jemaine Clement fly all the way over from New Zealand for the last-minute ceremony. “And, I love that we now get to share what really happened-and to do it on our one-year anniversary, no less!”Īs far as the planning process goes, there wasn’t one: The entire event was dreamed up and executed in just two weeks. “It’s actually been quite entertaining for us to see the different stories people made up and all the while getting to keep it to ourselves,” Rita admits. Over the past year, the two have gotten a kick out of the misinformation about their nuptials that has spread like wildfire across the internet. “Our address was…no, I’m just joking,” Taika says, laughing. “It wasn’t in London or in France like everyone reported,” Taika clarifies. ![]() Rita popped the question while the pair were on vacation in Palm Springs in the summer of 2022, and they planned an impromptu wedding to be held in Los Angeles a few weeks later, on August 4. While the pair first met at a barbecue in 2018 that Taika hosted at his house in L.A., it wasn’t until 2021, when they were both filming in Australia, that they began dating. “She proposed to me, and I said yes instantly,” filmmaker Taika Waititi says of how he and singer-songwriter Rita Ora became engaged. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Its best to delete the existing iMovie Library and continue to use this newly minted one we have just created.

They are archetypes, formalized as fictional - but realistic - characters. Loosely defined personas are a technique to model users. In both cases, they only serve specific purposes that shouldn't include product design and development. Some are fairly poor, while others do just enough to be accepted. There are a lot of approaches that can be taken to personas. This methodology is often considered as better suited than personas for product development due to the fact that it's outcome-driven, objective and measurable. It shouldn’t present a solution - either a product, feature or requirement - but, instead, a description of what should be accomplished by the user at a higher level. The Job to be Doneįinally, the job to be done itself is about the desired outcome that the user is looking for. ![]() The situational analysis concerns the motivations and anxieties of the users, explaining the challenges that customers are facing and what is pushing them towards different solutions. In the observation step, the current and past user's behavior is identified - namely, which products they're using. The first step, exposition, presents the context of the product, briefly explaining the who, what, when and where (but not the why). In sum, a job to be done consists in four main aspects: Exposition It's based on the premise that when a person buys a product or service, that person is not actually buying it, but hiring it to execute a certain job: People don’t want a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole. Jobs to be done is a framework that can be used to help define a product scope, its requirements or marketing positioning. In order to bring together the best of each, a possible approach is to merge both techniques, resulting in a hybrid solution. However, lately, a few practitioners in the field pushed for the replacement of the persona method for the jobs-to-be-done (JTBD) framework.Ī careful analysis of both the persona and JTBD method, along with the insights coming from field practice, makes me believe that while there are, in fact, some problems with the persona method, this technique helps in some critical aspects of design that the JTBD method is not able to cover.įrom this point, a few questions come to mind: Which is the best methodology? Should you change from personas to JTBD? The usage of personas has always been controversial amongst designers and professionals within the industry. ![]() ![]() It took me four times and the course of two days because of how frustrated I got.

Pick up a piece of crap, quite literally, and you have ten points. Though it has its share of peculiar achievements. Kill ten, twenty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred and fifty aliens and you already have over one hundred points. Again, you are awarded for things you're expected to do. Getting the achievements aren't very hard. So far, after two days, I find myself on chapter seventeen ("The Shrunk Machine") with a 360 gamerscore in the game. You must cope and wait patiently for the game to load. Being that Duke Nukem is an action game, you naturally want to respawn as fast as you possibly can to get back in the action. You're mad not for dying, but for having to deal with the loading screen. It takes a good thirty seconds to jump back in the action. Well, in Duke Nukem Forever, I hate dying for the wrong reason the loading screen. What's one thing you hate doing in any game? Dying. There is still major detail in places like the strip club and on food containers. It looks like first generation Xbox, but again, they could've been a lot worse. The graphics, while nice and colorful, aren't very elaborate. After about an hour of straight forward playing I really didn't notice it at all. ![]() The controls take getting used to, flickering occurs sometimes, and the screen ripples when turning. There is a lot of variety, but it isn't utilized to the fullest. You control Duke, obviously in first person, going from place to place shooting aliens, pissing, collecting weaponry, driving a monster truck, shrinking in size, and so on. Duke is back, full force and still as vulgar as ever, to take on aliens that are now taking Earth's women away. It has some good fun, but still, it's not that playable, if you ask me.Ĭaught up in over a decade of delays and a company change, Duke Nukem Forever finally sees the light of day fourteen years later. Game levels looks pretty cool, weapon design is also good, the idea that Duke can go around do some macho stuff as taking leak, playing pool, basketball, pinball and other "manly" activities. President is more often here than before. Wall boobs? What a hell? Your opponents returns as enhanced, more powerful than ever, I don't recall seeing any new one. In the 1996 game, it was simple, and it was obvious, and it was cool in controversial way. OK, it's not supposed to be taken serious, but they could have make him more richer and more developed character. He is loved by all people and they are all in shock and awe when they see him. He is one big egoistical jerk and you just don't feel connected to him. But, the humor is basically old and not that rich, also, the Duke's character is also pretty dry and outdated. John is still here as Duke, well they kept that element right and he did a good job as always. You are just not that happy to go back to it. I heard that PC version is better than XBOX or Playstation. You are really easy target, and you are pretty easy to kill, or to get hit, no matter the difficulty. Duke could be more agile, but here, he is just clumsy, he is stiff as a board, you can barely move! You really get your butt kicked on multiple occasions and when your, here I dare say it "ego" is low, you don't have a medpack and you can't move. Why do I feel that they spiced it up with the reality in a way? The game play could be much more better. I think that they were trying to imitate Halo. Why? Why driving and carrying two weapons. The new thing is that Duke can drive a car. ![]() Other ideas were taken from the 1996 game and just enhance it. But still, the old look for medkit idea was better. So, instead to look for medkits around you look for some "manly" stuff to boost Duke's ego. Graphics were good, but not that great, some of the ideas where Duke can interact with other objects like in mini-games to upgrade your health. here it is, a FPS Duke Nukem with new 2010 graphics, I thought, let's take a look at it, why not. ![]() |
