Frankly, I've ridden it alone after midnight through areas that I regularly recommend against in this forum. I would not recommend riding at midnight for a variety of reasons, but I ride MARTA at night all the time without any problem. I think most of us are generally on the same page. Let us know what you end up doing and how it turns out for you. Better than having luggage snatched, being robbed and losing your wallet, or worse. If it were me, I might just cough up the $30 for the taxi. I have come in late from a flight and taken MARTA using these precautions but I didn't exit downtown but further north and at a station where the issues are not as pronounced.Ĭheck with your hotel to see if they provide a shuttle that late. The other writers are correct that most of the time there is virtually no police presence on the trains, or in and around the stations, so these are target areas for predators. It will be during the intervening ride to the Five Points Station, where you'll have to change trains to the West Line in order to reach the GWCC station, and then from the station across to your hotel (whichever one it is).

Enemies take far too much damage, causing battles to drag on longer than they should. LC's slower pacing hampers what should have been fast and frenetic combat throughout- something the game would have really benefited from.

More egregious is the tirade of insults pitched at Juliet by demons, adding an unfunny level of unnecessary vulgarity to the story, enough that it made me feel a bit embarrassed if a female happened to walk into the room while I was playing the game. However, once all the glorious “Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi” eye candy is scraped away, players often are bogged down in repetitive action that’s stalled in a routine, linear design and game mechanics that are peppered with only some mildly inspired boss battles. The soundtrack also is tempting with classic favorites such as the Runaways’ “Cherry Bomb,” Toni Basil’s “Mickey,” The Chordettes’ “Lollipop,” Dead or Alive’s “You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)” and Human League’s “Empire State Human.” The graphic design layers of Lollipop Chainsaw are impressive throughout with menu screens looking as though they were ripped from a 1960s EC Horror comic book (remember Tales from the Crypt?), plenty of colorful cut scenes and action that blends pulp art and three-dimensional, cel-shaded characters.ĭevelopers try to beef up the content by offering tons of unlockables, such as vicious combination moves, alternate (and even skimpier) costumes for Juliet, lots of hard-core music (punk to metal) and concept art packages.

This way, you will interact, and you will eventually learn new things. Likewise, this quote says: When you listen, you learn different things that other people already know, and then you can share your opinion about the topic. This way, they will become mature enough to think of other different ways with which they can deal in such conditions. Therefore, when intelligent people listen to them, it doesn’t matter if they want to follow their suggestions or not, they will learn about the different experiences they have gone through. What their life has taught them in their years on earth. The people who are talking with them are only repeating what they already know. It will help them to understand what people want to tell them. A person cannot teach another person directly a person can only facilitate anothers learning. They will listen to everything the person wants to tell and they will have the ability to understand their point of view. As no one else can know how we perceive, we are the best experts on ourselves. They are at those times listen to the words carefully. Everyone has their own point of view, and they always want to prove a standpoint.īut, while listening, smart people hear everything the other person has to offer with inner calmness and composedness. However, do you know why these people prefer to listen more rather than talking much? Well, it’s because everyone else likes talking. They, most of the time are great listeners. Doug Larson Most people do not listen with the intent to understand they listen with the intent to reply. Paul Tillich Wisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you’d have preferred to talk. We know how intelligent people always prefer listening more rather than telling something. Ernest Hemingway The first duty of love is to listen. ![]() ![]() But interstitial pressure is already very low compared to vascular (blood vessel) pressure. How much pressure is necessary? Researchers haven’t come up with a firm answer yet, says Canada. In essentially the same scientific phenomenon as we described for wrapping wounds, pressure to the legs helps even out blood pressure to keep fluid from collecting in the lower limbs. Pressure from transport wraps can help prevent stocking up in any immobile horse. So a horse that’s just standing still for long periods of time can ‘stock up’-meaning they get edema (fluid swelling) within their distal limbs.” That swelling can be painful in some horses and even predispose them to getting scratches (the skin infection also known as pastern dermatitis) because the skin becomes fragile. “Horses were meant to walk around all day, and the blood flow in their legs is dependent on them moving around. “There actually is a purpose,” Canada says. Again, we experienced horse people know that putting shipping boots or bandages on our traveling horses is just something you do.īut peer pressure isn’t the reason to wrap a trailered horse. Going on a road trip? Pull out the transport wraps. Reduce risk by always using padding (e.g., pillow pads) beneath the wrap to help distribute pressure, and keep bandage overlaps as even as possible. This, he says, is a common cause of bowed tendons. Unevenly distributed pressure-which can come from applying bandages with irregular overlap-can cause pressure peaks that can create direct trauma to the tendon or affect the blood flow to it. While pressure can be great for leg wounds, the wrong kind of pressure can be detrimental, he cautions. But any time you have a tendon injury, one of the first things you should do is give it support by applying some sort of pressure.” ![]() “So that will help with reducing swelling in tendons and ligaments, although the extent of that hasn’t been investigated. “Anything you put on the outside of the skin is going to transmit that pressure to whatever soft tissues are underneath it,” Canada says. It works so well, in fact, that the pressure even helps reduce swelling and aid healing of tendon injuries. “That will ultimately raise the pressure within that interstitial fluid-(which serves as) the communication channel between the blood vessel and the rest of the body-and make it a more equal plane.” “By putting on a pressure wrap, we’re applying pressure to the skin, and that pressure is transmitted to the deeper tissues of the body,” he says. Those cause the blood vessel barriers to become “leaky,” allowing more fluid to seep into the surrounding tissues. Essentially, injury-induced inflammation affects the proteins in the bloodstream, which then affect the cytokines (inflammatory proteins) and cellular pathways. There’s also a chemical process going on at the cellular level, Canada says. “The water’s going to go from high pressure to low pressure areas.” He likens a leg injury’s tendency to swell to how a garden hose works. ACVS, staff surgeon at Texas Equine Hospital, in Bryan. “The equine body’s response to injury in the distal (lower) limb is to swell, which can be protective in some ways (like reducing bleeding immediately after injury) but detrimental if not resolved in the later stages of wound healing,” says Nathan Canada, DVM, MS, Dipl. In fact, keeping the swelling down could be the most important part of the healing process. You might also know that wrapping a leg wound can help reduce swelling. And a wrap will help protect that wound from contamination. Sure, pressure to any wound will help stop bleeding by encouraging clotting. ![]() Whether it’s something we’ve learned from experience, from veterinary advice, or from reading about horse care, we know that using padding and bandages to wrap a leg wound is essential first aid. Bring out the bandages, because nothing says leg wound treatment like good a wrap. You don’t know how he did it but you do know what to do about it. You know the feeling-when you walk into your horse’s paddock and find the dreaded leg gash. It’s a growing field that still needs lots of “padding” and extra “layers” of research before we can fully understand it.īut in the meantime, we’ve gone to some of today’s top equine biomechanics researchers to get a better grasp on the science of the wrap and to help us unravel some of its mysteries. You might be surprised to learn there’s actually very little research about the inner workings of the equine leg when wraps and boots are applied. ![]() ![]() MySQL has a few "quirks" to how it manages things like multiple databases, which may lead you to making less good decisions if you tried to take your experience over to different DBMS, especially in bigger enterprise roles. SQLite's simplicity actually avoids most of these experiences, which is not helpful to you if that is what you hope to learn. If your aim is actually to have a bit of "operational" experience, in terms of things like what command line tools might be available as standard for the DBMS, understanding how the DBMS handles multiple databases, when to use multiple schemas vs multiple databases, some basic privilege management etc. As others have said, SQLite would offer you the ability to very easily get started, and would give you a reasonably standard (if a little basic) SQL dialect to work with. If your aim is to have experience with SQL and any related libraries and frameworks for your language of choice (python, I think?), then it kind of doesn't matter too much which you pick so much. SQLite has a broader approval, being mentioned in 314 company stacks & 477 developers stacks compared to Sequel Pro, which is listed in 46 company stacks and 23 developer stacks.Ī question you might want to think about is "What kind of experience do I want to gain, by using a DBMS?". ![]() Typeform, Intuit, and Coderus are some of the popular companies that use SQLite, whereas Sequel Pro is used by Movielala, Algorithmia, and Punchh. Here's a link to Sequel Pro's open source repository on GitHub. ![]() Sequel Pro is an open source tool with 6.73K GitHub stars and 591 GitHub forks. "Free" is the primary reason why developers consider Sequel Pro over the competitors, whereas "Lightweight" was stated as the key factor in picking SQLite. Sequel Pro can be classified as a tool in the "Database Tools" category, while SQLite is grouped under "Databases". A complete SQL database with multiple tables, indices, triggers, and views, is contained in a single disk file. SQLite reads and writes directly to ordinary disk files. Unlike most other SQL databases, SQLite does not have a separate server process. SQLite is an embedded SQL database engine. On the other hand, SQLite is detailed as " A software library that implements a self-contained, serverless, zero-configuration, transactional SQL database engine".
