I'd be interested to hear whether any of you (in the US or UK) still use dialectal versions that are out-of-step with your nation's standard. ![]() Many things conspire against the survival of such dialectal variations-for example compulsory education, formal education of teachers, the rise of the text(-)book ( more likely to have the hyphen in BrE, no space/hyphen in AmE), and the spread of the "Alphabet Song" (first copyrighted in Boston, Massachusetts in 1835). So, dialectal variation for names of this letter has been found on both sides of the Atlantic. ![]() The name‥given to the last letter of the alphabet‥in New England is always zee in the South it is zed. So, zee is not originally AmE, but it came to be decisively AmE, with Noah Webster ( whom we might call the architect of American spelling), specifying in his 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language " Z.‥ It is pronounced zee".ĭecisively American, but not always unanimously American, it seems, as the OED also gives this quotation: The names of letters are not often written out, and dialectal names of letters even less so, so goodness knows how long it might have pottered on.) We don't have any citations of zee written in Britain since Lye's spelling book-but this does not mean it was last heard then. (I think we should be a little careful here. In Scotland the letter’s name hasīeen at various times in history ezod and izod. Of izod that arose in an English dialect where speakers liked to insert Or, as I believe but cannot prove, izzard is simply as an r-infix form The Mayflower but very early indeed in American history.Īnother English dialect form is izzard, from mid-eighteenth-century English, perhaps from French et zède meaning and z, or else from s hard.

The OED's first example of zee, on the other hand, is from a 1677 spelling book published in England by Thomas Lye, a non-conformist minister. Zed goes way back in English-the OED's first citations of it are from the 15th century. But there's more still to say about zee and zed. And before that, I mentioned it in my zebra post. which gives you a link to the time before that that I talked about it. (not problems!) are discussed in this old post.

![]() Now two brave women, separated by hundreds of years but joined by bonds transcending time, will become unknowing allies in a desperate race against sickness and Threadfall, with nothing less than the survival of all life on Pern at stake. ![]() But as her people struggle to survive, Wind Blossom has neither the time nor the resources to expend on a future that may never arrive – until suddenly she uncovers evidence that her worst fears will come true. ![]() No doubt the first colonists possessed the advanced technology to find the cure for which Lorana seeks, but over the centuries, that knowledge has been lost.įor in the distant past, an aged Wind Blossom worries that the germs that affect the fire-lizards may one day turn on larger prey – and unleash a plague that will destroy the dragons, Pern’s only defenders against Thread. The lyrics of an all-but-forgotten song seem to point toward an answer from nearly five hundred years in the past, when Kitti Ping and her daughter Wind Blossom bred the first dragons from their smaller cousins, the fire-lizards. Somehow, Lorana must find a cure before the dragons – including her own beloved Arith – succumb to the sickness, leaving Pern undefended. Eighth Interval Ninth Pass Undatable Companion Books Recommended Reading Order Links Introduction Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonriders of Pern series is a science fiction series (but with something of the flavour of a fantasy series) describing the lives of humans and dragons on the planet Pern. and the next deadly cycle of Threadfall is only days away. A mysterious fatal illness is striking dragons. Never in the dramatic history of Pern has there been a more dire emergency than that which faces the young dragonrider Lorana. And Dragonsblood is proof that the future of Pern is in good hands. Now, for the first time, Todd McCaffrey flies alone. Together, they penned a triumphant new chapter in the annals of the extraordinarily popular Dragonriders of Pern. In Dragon’s Kin, bestselling author Anne McCaffrey did the unthinkable: for the first time ever, she invited another writer to join her in the skies of her most famous fictional creation. ![]() Health-care providers should consider environmental fungi as potential causes of necrotizing soft-tissue infections in patients injured during tornados and initiate early treatment for suspected infections. None of the infections were found in persons cleaning up debris. Early diagnosis, aggressive surgical debridement, and administration of systemic antifungals have been associated with improved outcomes ( 1).Ĭutaneous mucormycosis has been reported after previous natural disasters ( 3,4) however, this is the first known cluster occurring after a tornado. The case-fatality rate for cutaneous mucormycosis has ranged from 29% to 83%, depending on severity of disease and underlying medical condition of the patient ( 1). trapeziformis often is associated with immunocompetent hosts after traumatic implantation of fungal spores ( 2). Although cutaneous mucormycosis often is opportunistic, affecting patients with diabetes, hematologic malignancy or solid organ transplant ( 1), A. Further laboratory and epidemiologic studies are ongoing, including case-control studies to evaluate risk factors for infection.Ĭutaneous mucormycosis is a rare infection caused by fungi of the order Mucorales, which typically are found in soil and decaying wood and other organic matter. Ten patients required admission to an intensive-care unit, and five died.ĬDC received 48 clinical specimens, including 32 fungal isolates and 16 tissue blocks collected from wounds for microscopic evaluation, immunohistochemical staining, and DNA sequencing specimens from all 13 patients yielded the Mucormycete Apophysomyces trapeziformis. Two patients had diabetes, and none were immunocompromised. Wooden splinters were the most common foreign body, found in the wounds of four patients. Post-trauma wound management included surgical debridement for all 13 patients and removal of a foreign body from six. The 13 patients had an average of four wounds documented in the medical chart when they were examined at the emergency department. ![]() Injuries sustained during the tornado included lacerations (12 patients), fractures (11), and blunt trauma (nine). The median age of the patients was 48 years (range: 13-76 years) seven were female, and all were white. The field team reviewed medical charts to describe the 13 confirmed cases. No additional cases have been reported since June 17. A confirmed case was defined as 1) necrotizing soft-tissue infection requiring antifungal treatment or surgical debridement in a person injured in the tornado, 2) with illness onset on or after May 22, and 3) positive fungal culture or histopathology and genetic sequencing consistent with a Mucormycete. On June 14, a CDC field team arrived in Missouri to assist with the onsite investigation.Īs of July 19, a total of 18 suspected cases of cutaneous mucormycosis had been identified, of which 13 were confirmed. By June 10, eight patients with necrotizing fungal soft-tissue wound infections caused by Mucormycetes (formerly Zygomycetes) were identified. MODHSS initiated active surveillance for such infections at hospitals and laboratories serving patients injured in the tornado, and CDC began assisting MODHSS with identification of fungal isolates. On June 3, a local physician notified the Springfield-Greene County Health Department and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (MODHSS) of two patients hospitalized with tornado injuries who had suspected necrotizing fungal soft-tissue infections. a tornado with winds >200 mph struck Joplin, Missouri, injuring approximately 1,000 persons and causing 159 deaths.

The letter "X" in Mac OS X's name refers to the number 10, a Roman numeral, and Apple has stated that it should be pronounced "ten" in this context. Mac OS X was originally presented as the tenth major version of Apple's operating system for Macintosh computers until 2020, versions of macOS retained the major version number "10". The project was first code named " Rhapsody" and then officially named Mac OS X. This purchase also led to Steve Jobs returning to Apple as an interim, and then the permanent CEO, shepherding the transformation of the programmer-friendly OPENSTEP into a system that would be adopted by Apple's primary market of home users and creative professionals. This led Apple to purchase NeXT in 1996, allowing NeXTSTEP, then called OPENSTEP, to serve as the basis for Apple's next generation operating system. Throughout the early 1990s, Apple had tried to create a "next-generation" OS to succeed its classic Mac OS through the Taligent, Copland and Gershwin projects, but all were eventually abandoned. ![]() Its graphical user interface was built on top of an object-oriented GUI toolkit using the Objective-C programming language. The kernel of NeXTSTEP is based upon the Mach kernel, which was originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University, with additional kernel layers and low-level user space code derived from parts of BSD. There, the Unix-like NeXTSTEP operating system was developed, before being launched in 1989. The heritage of what would become macOS had originated at NeXT, a company founded by Steve Jobs following his departure from Apple in 1985. In 2020, Apple began the Apple silicon transition, using self-designed, 64-bit ARM-based Apple M series processors on the latest Macintosh computers. In 2006, Apple transitioned to the Intel architecture with a line of Macs using Intel Core processors. MacOS has supported three major processor architectures, beginning with PowerPC-based Macs in 1999. After sixteen distinct versions of macOS 10, macOS Big Sur was presented as version 11 in 2020, and every subsequent version has also incremented the major version number. ![]() Apple shortened the name to "OS X" in 2011 and then changed it to "macOS" in 2016 to align with the branding of Apple's other operating systems, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS. Apple's other operating systems ( iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, audioOS) are derivatives of macOS.Ī prominent part of macOS's original brand identity was the use of Roman numeral X, pronounced "ten" as in Mac OS X and also the iPhone X, as well as code naming each release after species of big cats, or places within California. All releases from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and after are UNIX 03 certified, with an exception for OS X 10.7 Lion. The first desktop version, Mac OS X 10.0, was released in March 2001, with its first update, 10.1, arriving later that year. During this time, Apple cofounder Steve Jobs had left Apple and started another company, NeXT, developing the NeXTSTEP platform that would later be acquired by Apple to form the basis of macOS. MacOS succeeded the classic Mac OS, a Mac operating system with nine releases from 1984 to 1999. Within the market of desktop and laptop computers, it is the second most widely used desktop OS, after Microsoft Windows and ahead of ChromeOS. ![]() It is the primary operating system for Apple's Mac computers. MacOS ( / ˌ m æ k oʊ ˈ ɛ s/ previously OS X and originally Mac OS X) is a Unix operating system developed and marketed by Apple Inc. Not to mention, this series shares that the supposed children, or adults in this world’s case, don’t regularly bathe and look like shit, rarely eat anything beyond junk to the point of giving my heart an ache, and suffer in school because their artwork wasn’t ‘imaginative’ enough. ![]() Then I got to chapter two, where the domestic emotional resentment and abuse the author casually put in is tasteless and doesn’t make me think Enter thought this through intricately, especially when it’s a child using manipulative parenting tactics on a fully grown adult. What is there to grasp? Who would want to live in this world? Should I be questioning this? Dorling Kindersley would find this prose laughable, thematically and grammatically, since your work is seasoned with easy to catch errors. And the fact that this book doesn’t even have a verified publisher lets me know they would’ve rejected this as soon as they picked it up. The fact this series is basically “Manchild World” rings some bells in my ears about the author’s projecting thought process, especially after looking back at their old cartoons rants, labeled ‘reviews’. The fact that adults are treated like kids even when they can get married and grow old to death makes me wonder how this would actually be a successful reality. The fact that these kids don’t act like kids in this book, but paper thin cutouts says something about how this book thinks it has something in mind. ![]() The premise itself sounds like an embryo came up with this while in the womb, “Where kids rule and adults get schooled”, if this ain’t the creepiest implication you could ever have over a handful of other creepy ass implications this series can make with that sentence alone. Your first chapter consists of random shit you put in, with an unnecessary detail to each new topic you put in, and by the end I couldn’t care who was the main character. This story is a travesty, dude, it has NOTHING going for itself and whatever it does have makes no clear sense in terms of building a world. Enter? The only thing good about this book is the cover art, and that’s not even your art. I read and got to listen to a couple chapters on a stream, shoutout to and… what the hell Mr. ![]() ![]() Organising messages can be achieved automatically by using the filtering option. It would be nice to be able to mix and match on the status options. You can use the search box to search by keywords and you can narrow the results by filtering by status such as replied to, with attachments, etc. The KMail search feature is also fairly powerful. If I want to find an email I can just search for what I am looking for in the search box and it seems to throw back the correct message(s) instantly. Take advantage of best-adapted, highly customizable, lightning-fast, safely secured, and private email experience. The GMail search feature makes it possible for me to be incredibly lazy and never delete or organise my emails. One of the best features of GMail is the search feature. Pretty much everything can be customised within KMail. The layout can be changed so that you have a shorter folder list, the favourites can be plain text and the preview pane can be placed alongside the message list instead of below it. The bottom right pane is used as a preview pane. You can also choose how the messages are displayed by choosing how they are aggregated such as flat or threaded. However, these alternatives offer a much simpler user interface than Thunderbird. You can customise the layout of the messages by choosing different themes, Right clicking on the top bar gives you the ability to choose the columns that are displayed. Thunderbird is a free and open-source email client developed by the Mozilla Foundation. The top right corner has a list of your email messages. If you have a default email account that you want to use as your favourite you can drag it into the box in the top left corner. Thunderbird alternatives are mainly Email Clients but may also be Calendar Apps or Web Browsers. Other great apps like Thunderbird are Evolution, eM Client, Microsoft Office Outlook and Mailbird. Its quick and advanced search feature finds out the email, file, or image you are looking for. Besides a customizable interface, this email application offers an array of useful features. If you have multiple email accounts you can set them all up within KMail making them easier to manage. The best alternative is K-9 Mail, which is both free and Open Source. Postbox Postbox Like Thunderbird, the Postbox email client is also available for Windows and Mac users. The KMail user interface is fairly easy to use and should be quite familiar to Outlook users.

With support for wireless networking, duplex printing, and mobile cloud printing, users have a lot of options. The HP Photosmart 6520 has ISO speeds of 12 pages per minute in black and 8.5 pages per minute in color, and it can scan and copy in addition to producing beautiful color photos. If buyers don't mind the lack of wired networking, it is a great value, especially with its affordable Photosmart 6520 ink. The 6520 is actually a very impressive all-in-one inkjet for the price, with a great touchscreen control panel and solid performance. Some vendors also offer remanufactured HP 6520 ink for around half the cost of OEM versions. In addition to the standard Photosmart 6520 ink cartridges, there are high-capacity supplies available with more than double the page yield. HP 6520 ink cartridges are separated into cyan, magenta, yellow, and black supplies, which should result in less wasted printer ink, as they can be replaced separately. Although the unit includes Wi-Fi, it doesn't have an ethernet port, which is a strange omission, but probably won't affect many potential buyers. The inclusion of Apple's AirPrint protocol makes it easy to print from devices like iPhones and iPads, and HP's ePrint allows users to print from just about any device that can send an email. One of the features that make the 6520 very easy to use is its 3.45-inch touchscreen display, which makes navigating menus and controlling features a snap. Dimensions for the unit are 6x17x15 inches, so it is small enough for most home users without getting in the way. The lack of an automatic document feeder, on the other hand, is somewhat expected for such a compact device. The input paper capacity is only 80 sheets, with a 20-sheet output tray. The machine can handle printing, scanning, copying, and faxing, though its paper handling is a bit limited. It has print speeds of up to 22 pages per minute, and even the HP 6520 printer ink supplies are affordable. The HP Photosmart 6520 is a great example, with a very affordable price, but advanced features like cloud printing and Wi-Fi support. Even as all-in-one inkjet printer prices go down, they seem to continue gaining new features. ![]() The only thing preventing him from losing himself completely is the lingering memory of Annie, kept alive in the image of an old photograph kept tucked away in Ranger’s armor. In that time he’s killed and died more times than he can remember, and he’s begun to lose track of himself. ![]() Ranger has been stranded in the never-ending maze of Quake’s battlegrounds, fighting one enemy after another for two decades (fun fact: Quake hit the video game scene in 1996). It also doesn’t hurt that Ram V has spent more than his share of time in front of the aforementioned TV screen, gaming system running hot, and shouting “fortune favors the brave!” at the top of his lungs (okay, maybe not that last part, but check out the intverview after my review for a look at the man’s gaming cred…). Translate that concept into a story, make Ranger a soldier determined not to become the mindless killing machine, and you’ve got something a little more interesting. He’s a cypher, a blank slate that serves no purpose besides that of empty vessel for a player’s vicarious thrills. The gamer doesn’t really care about Ranger or his past. So how does Ram V take that most basic formula (“Shoot, Reload, Repeat”) and make Quake the comic something more than a gratuitous gorefest? He brings the focus down to its main character, Ranger, to explore his deeper motivations and drives. If you can pull off a truly impressive “killing spree” in front of an appreciative audience, you can ride high on the wave until your next death. It’s not a dig, because anyone who’s ever spent countless hours in front of a screen, running and gunning, you know that the fun isn’t necessarily in the plot. These games are all about shooting stuff, blowing stuff up, and pretty much just creating as much chaos and mayhem as possible without getting fragged. Not to abuse the words of Shakespeare, but “the play is the thing”. ![]() Anyone who’s played any of the classic shooters (Quake, Doom, Duke Nuke’em, etc) knows that the “lather, rinse, repeat” formula of the game transcends the need for a deeply layered, cohesive story. Game over.Īs far as most of the original first person shooters goes, that story right there is fairly comprehensive. Failure means that the final boss’s evil forces will have nothing to stop them from sweeping through the Slipgate and into our world. When all of the runes are collected, the final level opens up and the epic shootout against Shub-Niggurath begins. As each episode is successfully completed, the player collects a magic rune. The long and short of it is that the game’s protagonist, Ranger, has to fight through four “episodes”, each divided into its own series of levels. The story behind the game is the barest of plot threads, with no real purpose beyond giving a player the motivation needed to push through thirty levels of gameplay. No disrespect at all to one of the pioneers of the First Person Shooter genre, but let’s be honest. Trained to kill, scavenge, survive and locked in a never-ending gauntlet of bullets and bloodshed, only one of these Champions shall prevail…Īs with many video games, the job of wringing a comprehensive story out of something like Quake makes getting water out of a stone seem downright plausible. Now, that same Marine finds himself wandering a strange but familiar landscape, where grim fighters from the far reaches of the hellverse battle through monstrous dimensions in search of subsitence and salvation. Trapped in these realms ever since, time and delirium have eroded his resolve and even his name. Two decades ago, a lone Marine stepped through the Slipgate and into a world of nightmares. |
