He lectures the students on the World State's creation and its success in creating happiness and stability by eliminating from society all intense emotions, desires, and relationships. The students and the Director get a special treat when Mustapha Mond, one of the 10 World Controllers, joins the tour. The Director calls such conditioning “the secret to all happiness and virtue.” ![]() Each caste is conditioned differently, but all castes are conditioned to seek instant gratification, to be sexually promiscuous, to engage in economic consumption, and to use the drug soma to escape from all unpleasant experiences. The Director also shows how each individual is conditioned both before and after "birth" to conform to the moral rules of the World State and to enjoy his or her predetermined job. The Director shows how the five castes of World State society are created, from Alphas and Betas, who lead the society, down to the physically and intellectually inferior Deltas, Gammas, and Epsilons, who do menial labor. The Director of the Central London Hatcheries leads a group of students on a tour of the facilities, where babies are produced and grown in bottles (birth is non-existent in the World State). ![]()

The app lets you chat with anyone without needing their phone number or other personal data. This is another area where Telegram is a clear winner. Privacyįor users who engage in sensitive conversations, or even for day-to-day users who want to keep their chats and personal information private, security and privacy settings can be crucial. But just how large of a group can you create using WhatsApp and Telegram? Telegram lets you create a group of a whopping 200,000 members, while WhatsApp limits groups to 256 participants. Instant messaging apps let you enjoy conversations with large groups at once. Telegram lets you share files up to 2GB, while WhatsApp caps it at 16MB for media files and 100MB for documents. Comparing the two apps, Telegram is the clear winner for this purpose. If you share large files like movies, songs, and videos, you’d need a platform with relatively large file-sharing options. Now WhatsApp has a similar feature, but it’s nowhere near as comprehensive and customizable as Telegram. So once your conversation is over, the chat is automatically deleted for both parties. When chatting on Telegram, you can set a timer to automatically delete messages after a fixed period of time.

Second, Discord and Teams literally destroy them in pricing for fundamental features. We literally pay for insanely complex project management platforms (Asana, Monday, ClickUp, etc) that are cheaper by allowing guests to have same features as members with a few restrictions. I have 3 other members in my LLC startup and I couldn’t imagine paying $36 a month to have those features. Oh wait….you meant $8 a month per user?!?! No way in hell would I pay that for a messaging app just to have more than one person in a video call (max 15), enable screen sharing, and to save my chat history over 10,000 messages. ![]() ![]() ![]() Lighter devices tend to score better on handle and posture ergonomic measures because they can be more comfortable and easier to hold during use. “I wouldn’t get a percussive massager if I was trying to mainly get my upper and middle back areas by myself,” Ritchey says. Still, because it’s hard to reach around and hold a device behind you, most people would have a hard time reaching these target areas without help. The more adjustable and longer devices were overall better at reaching the upper and middle back. An adjustable arm also reduces postural stress. We also evaluated how loud these devices were in comparison with one another because according to Ritchey, users frequently note that these devices can be quite loud.įrom an ergonomic perspective, we found grips shaped like a triangle were the easiest to hold in a variety of positions, making it easier to reach various body parts without undue stress. Our ease of use measures are meant to assess various aspects of the user experience, including how easy it is to control the device, check battery life, change attachments, and to understand the instructions provided with each device. Device weight also factors into handle ergonomics-it can be harder to grip or manipulate a heavier device, especially for people with limited grip, arm, or shoulder strength and mobility. This assesses how comfortable and easy it is to grip the device’s handle during use. We also examined the handle on each device, comparing it to an ergonomic checklist used to evaluate hand tools. Devices that scored better on our postural stress measurement made it easier to reach target areas without needing to bend or flex the wrist or arm in an uncomfortable way, with a neutral posture-which puts the least amount of stress on the body-receiving the best score. Two study participants were photographed while using each device to try to reach the 10 target areas. “These are supposed to make you feel better, so we thought it would be interesting to see whether you were adding stress to your body while using them,” Ritchey says. This study was used to generate a list of 10 body areas users might target with a massage device, so we could see-using a standard ergonomic assessment-how well devices could reach certain areas, and assess whether or not trying to use the devices would stress the body in an uncomfortable way. To inform our expert evaluation, CR first conducted an online study of 34 massage gun users to understand which body parts users target with these devices, and to gather relevant impressions of certain devices. Research on their overall efficacy is limited, but experts have told CR that when used safely, they may help alleviate muscle pain. People use percussive massagers to help relieve pain, release tension, increase range of motion, and more. Notably, this evaluation was not meant to measure whether or not these devices are effective in a therapeutic sense. ![]() ![]() The release of Wildside, the band's fifth album, followed in September 1987.

The song originally appeared on The Official Music of the 1984 Games but not on any of its albums or compilations to date. In 1984 Loverboy recorded the United States Team theme for the 1984 Summer Olympics, "Nothing's Gonna Stop You Now". The video for the song as well as for the follow-up single "Queen of the Broken Hearts" were hugely popular on MTV. Its first single " Hot Girls in Love" became their most successful to that date, reaching No. Loverboy released its third album, Keep It Up, in June 1983. In the same year Loverboy received six Juno Awards (Canada's highest award for music) in one year, a record that still stands today. It became the group’s best selling album in the U.S., reaching No. 7 on the Billboard album charts and selling over four million copies. The band's follow-up album, Get Lucky, released in October 1981 when it was opening for Journey, included the hit tracks " Working for the Weekend", " When It's Over" and "Lucky Ones". "The Kid Is Hot Tonite" was also a single. 35 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1981. Their debut single, " Turn Me Loose", went on to hit No. The band went on a touring spree that year putting on over 200 shows with bands such as Cheap Trick, ZZ Top, Kansas, and Def Leppard. The album made its American debut in November 1980, and would go on to sell over two million copies in the US. Over that summer, the record became a huge hit with eventually over one million records sold in Canada alone. ![]() Originally rejected by all the major record labels in the United States, the band signed with Columbia Records of Canada, and on March 20, 1980, Loverboy went into the studio with producer Bruce Fairbairn and engineer Bob Rock to record what would be its self-titled debut album. ĭean's manager, Lou Blair, then brought in the biggest rock manager in Canada at that time, Bruce Allen, who took on the band and arranged for them to make their live debut opening for Kiss at Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, B.C., on November 19, 1979. After being told by Dean about the dream the next morning, Reno agreed to try it out and it stuck. Cover Girl became Cover Boy, and then became Loverboy in Dean's dream later that night. ![]() The girlfriends were browsing through fashion magazines, where the guys in the band saw a Cover Girl advertisement. He had come up with the name after spending the previous night with some of the bandmates, including Reno and their girlfriends, before going to the movies. They are currently based in Vancouver, British Columbia.Īccording to Reno, their name was chosen due to a dream by Paul Dean. Except for a brief breakup from 1988 to 1991, the band has continued to perform live shows regularly. ![]() Throughout the 1980s, Loverboy accumulated numerous hit songs in Canada and the United States, earning four multi-platinum albums and selling millions of records. Loverboy's founding members were lead singer Mike Reno (previously with Moxy as Mike Rynoski) guitarist Paul Dean (previously with Scrubbaloe Caine and Streetheart) keyboardist Doug Johnson bassist Jim Clench (who was replaced after one gig by Scott Smith) and drummer Matt Frenette. Loverboy's hit singles, particularly " Turn Me Loose" and " Working for the Weekend", have become arena rock staples and are still heard on many classic rock and classic hits radio stations across Canada and the United States.Īfter being rejected by many American record labels, they signed with Columbia/CBS Records Canada and began recording their first album on March 20, 1980.

This clinical trial was registered at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials website (ID: IRCT2014110819853N1). The Research Council and Ethics Committee of the Isfahan University of Medical Sciences approved the study protocol (ID: 393,637) under the Declaration of Helsinki Written informed consent forms were completed by all the participants. Participants were recruited from the Metabolic Liver Disease Research Center at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. This placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial focused on adults with ultrasound-diagnosed NAFLD. Therefore, the current trial aimed to evaluate the efficacy of garlic supplementation on hepatic steatosis among patients with NAFLD. ![]() 16 However, the therapeutic effect of garlic for hepatic steatosis in NAFLD patients remains unknown. 15 Also, experimental studies show that garlic and its derivatives can mitigate the hepatic steatosis by down-regulating the expression of sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP1c) as a lipogenic gene and up-regulating the expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) and carnitine palmitoyltransferase-1 (CPT-1) as lipolytic genes. ![]() 12, 13 Numerous studies have indicated the therapeutic potential of garlic and its derivatives against modifiable cardiovascular risk factors 14 and cancer. Nowadays, garlic is considered a functional food with a broad spectrum of organosulfur compounds, such as alliin, allicin, vinyl dithiins, and ajoene, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It has been used as a medicinal plant in complementary medicine in many countries and cultures. Garlic ( Allium sativum L.) is a vegetable belonging to the Liliaceae family. 8 Emerging evidence suggests that some functional foods and nutriceuticals can exert protective roles in the management of NAFLD by regulating inflammation and hepatic lipid metabolism and modulating gut bacteria flora. 7 Current therapeutic approach in patients with NAFLD limits to lifestyle modification which is not feasible and poses a major challenge for most patients. Nevertheless, insulin resistance and inflammation exert critical roles in the progression of NAFLD. The molecular mechanisms involved in the initiation of NAFLD have not been completely elucidated. ![]() 5 Despite these facts, there is no licensed pharmacological treatment for NAFLD patients. 4 It has been predicted NASH-related cirrhosis to be the main indication for liver transplantation by 2020. 3 NAFLD has been recently considered as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. 1, 2 This disease involves a broad spectrum of hepatic damage from simple hepatic steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to fibrosis or even carcinoma. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of metabolic syndrome, affecting nearly a quarter of adults worldwide. ![]() ![]() But they’re also here to make sure you have a good time, which you do. Reckless can still make your heart bleed. This isn’t Jason Isbell or American Aquarium. With 20 songs, Reckless Kelly gives you a lot to unpack, but they make it easy by delivering songs with good hooks, fat melodies, and compelling stories and characters consistently throughout the album. ![]() It just feels like a quintessential Reckless Kelly record more than anything, meaning you get some rocking songs, some country songs, songs in between, quite a few gems, probably a couple of clunkers, and wind up with a pretty good choice if you’re looking to kill an hour or two listening to some new tunes. And in the end, it doesn’t really feel like a conceptualized or thematic record at all. Instead of being about America itself in the sense of songs about its grand landscapes or the unique ethos governing the land, American Jackpot/American Girls is more about the American experience told through stories of American people-a grandpa who can fix anything, the baseball player Jackie Robinson. It’s that dichotomy, and a more nuanced and balanced look at the American experience from being both grateful and proud, but instilled with a little guilt knowing you’ve got it great but others don’t, that sets the table for the record. The first song on the album (“American Jackpot”) puts in context how lucky Americans are to be living in this time and place, without overlooking that there’s still many that struggle, and that these lands were taken from others. It feels like were mere moments away from the Southern Poverty Law Center declaring the American flag itself as a symbol of hate.īut Reckless Kelly isn’t really looking to dive directly into that whole fracas with their new double record American Jackpot/American Girls, despite what you may glean from the title and cover art. The United States is a popular and polarizing subject in music right now to say the least. There is no dearth of songs or albums these days parading around America as the primary subject matter, from fawning and flamingly-patrotic versions from the mainstream country flock, to the derisive and accusatory stuff coming from the alt-country and Americana set. ![]() ![]() ![]() Therefore, firms’ sale of commodities of a specific type is strictly linked with the size of a particular market and how the rivals would choose to act.
