And while the fruit is resting, you stir together the easiest custard ever. ![]() The fruit gets tossed with brown sugar and a bit of cornstarch and the spices and the orange zest. And they all play well with plums and with each other. The cinnamon feels like comfort to me, the ginger adds a subtle background heat, and the orange zest wakes everything up. And it has never failed me yet.įrom there, I knew I wanted something with a different flavor profile and landed on a fragrant trio of ground cinnamon, freshly grated ginger, and orange zest. It’s crisp and buttery and doesn’t require any rolling or chilling. I was in a tart or pie sort of mood, and started with my favorite, foolproof easy shortbread tart crust. I considered making this raspberry plum crisp with walnuts and cardamom or some version of this almond anise plum torte, but neither felt quite right for the moment. And even better, plums are easy to pit and don’t require peeling, which makes them an unfussy fruit to work with. They’re tart enough to handle some sugar and versatile enough to work with a variety of spices. My favorite plums for baking are the purple oblong plums, sometimes called Italian plums or prune plums. While fresh plums can be inconsistent, sometimes bland or too mealy, baking brings out extra layers of flavor and sweetens and smooths over any imperfections in ripeness or texture. ![]() Plums feel like a bit of a sleeper in the pantheon of fruit (apart from William Carlos Williams’ famous poem about them), but they undergo an impressive transformation in the oven. It’s something I threw together after coming home from the farmers market with a pint of oblong Italian prune plums and knowing I wanted to bake with them. This plum custard tart is just the thing for the first blush of fall. ![]()

The series also introduced Diddy Kong as DK's sidekick and best friend, and K. The Donkey Kong Country series introduced the setting of Donkey Kong Island and a backstory for the character. So that's good enough for me – I must have done something right! Today it makes me smile to see so many products with DK on the front, and that he's pretty much still the same as he looked when I gave him a once-over. Although the character design has been tweaked over the years, Donkey Kong's appearance remains consistent since the last modification by Bayliss. Bayliss presented the modern look to Nintendo and was immediately approved for the high-resolution 3D medium. The character's appearance was redesigned for the Super NES in 1994 by former Rare character artist Kevin Bayliss with supervision from Miyamoto, who suggested giving Donkey Kong a red tie. When he suggested this name to Nintendo of America, people laughed, but the name stuck. Miyamoto used " donkey" to convey "stubborn" in English while "Kong" was simply to imply him being a "large ape", the name Donkey Kong was intended to convey "stubborn ape" to the American audience. In addition to 1930s American media, Miyamoto also stated he drew inspiration from " Beauty and the Beast" ![]() Miyamoto has also named the 1933 film King Kong as influences for the character. īluto was replaced by a large enraged ape, which Miyamoto said was "nothing too evil or repulsive", and the pet of the main character. Shigeru Miyamoto came up with many characters and plot concepts, but he eventually settled on a love triangle between gorilla, carpenter, and girlfriend, that mirrored the rivalry between Bluto and Popeye for Olive Oyl. When this relationship was cancelled, Nintendo decided to take the opportunity to create original characters that could then be marketed and used in later games. In 1981, Nintendo was pursuing a license to make a game based on the 1930s Popeye comic strip.

The concept of AROs dates to the 1980s when a few groups started academic international clinical studies. AROs consist of teams of academic investigators aiming to conduct clinical research to address clinical questions and unmet needs, and to educate the next generation of clinical investigators to raise the level of overall clinical research, including clinical trials. The term ARO refers to an academic or nonprofit organization which focuses on developing clinical evidence systematically to improve patient care across the globe. ![]() ![]() There has been substantial scientific progress in the understanding of the pathophysiology and treatment of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) over the last century, which we owe to decades of basic research and to the upsurge of refined and sophisticated clinical research led by academic research organizations (AROs). In this review article, the authors aim to summarize major research lead by the TIMI Study Group in the ASCVD field. Through a mutual goal to improve the care of ASCVD patients, the Japanese scientific community has become one of the important contributors to the TIMI Study Group’s clinical research. By leading large-scale, international, randomized, controlled trials of novel therapeutics, the TIMI Study Group has helped shape the very practice of cardiovascular medicine for over a quarter of a century, and decades of research continue to provide future promise for further advancement. However, over the years, the TIMI Study Group has expanded their research interests to include antithrombotic therapy, lipid lowering, anti-diabetes, anti-obesity, and even heart failure. The Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) Study Group was initially established to conduct a clinical trial studying thrombolysis for treatment of myocardial infarction. This has led to the clinical development of various novel therapeutic interventions for patients with or at risk of ASCVD, in which randomized clinical trials played a crucial role. The elucidation of the atherogenesis mechanism is considered one of the most relevant scientific accomplishments of the last century. The CTO provides contracting, budgeting, and clinical trial management services for Mass General Brigham hospital investigators and industry sponsors and is tasked with supporting and growing clinical trials research at Mass General Brigham.Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality across the world, warranting continuous research in this field.

However, Nvidia, in recent generations, has developed more, and has several very attractive proprietary features. AMD vs Nvidia: FeaturesĬards from both brands continue to offer their own features or particular techs that aim to elevate their GPUs above just offering technical prowess. The likes of Nvidia’s Quadro lineup and AMD’s PRO cards are some of the best in the business for those looking to get something without a consumer, gaming focus, but still offering flat-out great power and performance. It’s also worth remembering that Nvidia’s RTX 3060 Ti was probably pound-for-pound the best GPU of the last generation, so if the imminent RTX 4060 Ti – and the 4060 and expected 4050 - can imitate something like the same success, then Nvidia will have a beautiful option, or options, for both 1080p and 1440p.īoth brands also have terrific, specialised cards for creators too. The last generation’s RX 6600 or 6700 series are great here, though Team Green’s RTX 3050 is a fine card too. We’d have liked it to be a bit cheaper, offers decent bang for buck value.įor those cards specifically aimed at 1080p, and being budget options, then AMD probably has the edge – it traditionally does at this end of the spectrum. You could get great performance here out of AMD’s RX 6700 series, and this generation’s Nvidia RTX 4070 (and 4070 Ti to an extent) is a brilliant mid-range card. If you’re working and playing in the traditional ‘sweetspot’ of PC gaming, let’s say, and in a 144op resolution then the mid-range options from both brands are solid. However, what we will add here is that Nvidia does have the edge in ray-tracing demands - more on that below – so if this is anywhere near the top of your priority list then you may already be leaning towards Team Green. ![]() The 4K capable cards from Nvidia of the RTX 40 will set you back a whole wodge of cash but are seriously awesome cards, while the RX 7900 XTX and 7900 XT from AMD are also excellent for Ultra HD gaming and work. In terms of pure power, getting the highest number of frames per second, and working in the highest resolutions, both Team Green and Team Red present good solutions. ![]() ![]() Varsity Tutors connects learners with a variety of experts and professionals.

For this, the slope of the intersecting plane should be greater than that of the cone. And finally, to generate a hyperbola the plane intersects both pieces of the cone. To generate a parabola, the intersecting plane must be parallel to one side of the cone and it should intersect one piece of the double cone. If the plane intersects one of the pieces of the cone and its axis but is not perpendicular to the axis, the intersection will be an ellipse. If the right circular cone is cut by a plane perpendicular to the axis of the cone, the intersection is a circle. None of the intersections will pass through the vertices of the cone.

On daily walks, you want to know your leash isn’t going to give out on you–and this only becomes more paramount when you add in some speed. Below are the criteria we considered, starting with what we believed to be the most important factors. When assessing hands-free running leashes, we wanted to find an option that will allow you to have comfortable runs without losing control over your dog. From bungees to waist belts, dual handles to D-rings, there are many components to consider when choosing the right running leash for you. Running with your dog can be an incredible, exhilarating experience–as long as you have the right equipment to stay safe. Watch the above video and read below the full details of our testing of these popular leashes. After heavy testing we recommend the SparklyPets Hands Free Leash as the best hands-free dog leash for running currently on the market. We purchased and hand tested a few of the best leashes for running or walking with one or a pack of dogs. But the big winner for me was sparkly pets because you have several different options in terms of how you and where you want to be able to.Ĭlip your dog while you to go running. So just depending on which way you clip the leash, you can either have that handle be up top close to you, or on the bottom. There is this smaller little loop here that you might be able to put your leash around, but it is they.ĭesigned for the leash to specifically attach to. Again, they all have this really great flexibility in the leash and the style and with the belt, this one only comes with the fixed leash attachment. ![]() ![]() And the other one that we checked out was Mighty Paw. It doesn’t have a handle though, so that was one of the downsides of that particular leash. This one, though, is the fixed leash attachment. And again, this is fairly similar where it only has the one leash attachment. One of the other leashes that we checked out here is Stunt Puppy. But you will only have that one connection point. So if that’s fine with you, then you have the flexibility of using this leash. When it comes to the attachment for your dog to you, it only has one option and that is the movable option. And again, this one has both a handle at the bottom of the leash as well as the top of the leash. Another one that we really, really loved is Tough Mutt. Under control, but also you can be hands free and you have that variety as well. Also on the leash itself, it has a handle on the bottom and a handle on the top. So if you were sitting out to dinner or you want to be able to maybe drink a glass of water without having to hold on to your dog and have them get wrapped up around the chair that you’re in, then you can use the fixed portion there. So that way if your dog cuts in front of you or tries to go around behind you, rather than you having to twirl around and untangle yourself, you’ve got the movement there in the leash and you can just bring the leash around. So the belt clips around your waist and you have the option of having a clip for the leash that can move around the belt. ![]() ![]() The reason that I absolutely love this one is because you have options with the belt. You’d expect it to be bejeweled, but it is not. My absolute favorite brand is Sparkly Pet. These are leashes for runners or if you just want to be able to be hands free but still have your dog under control.īut there are a few key factors that made some seem it out more than others. Today we are talking about leashes specifically. ![]() |
