Songbird harry styles12/10/2023 Cover Me is now on Patreon! If you love cover songs, we hope you will consider supporting us there with a small monthly subscription. And then you had Christine, who for me was the maternal, soulful heartbeat vocally.”įind many more great covers of McVie tunes in our list of The Best Fleetwood Mac Covers Ever. You had Stevie Nicks, whose voice was angelic, otherworldly. “You had Lindsey Buckingham, who brought this punk, angular ethos. Maybe the most impressive of all, Keith Urban worked “Songbird” into a full medley of McVie-penned Fleetwood Mac tunes alongside “Say You Love Me” and “Everywhere.” “For me growing up listening to their music, you had three incredible vocalists in that band,” he said introducing it. And, just for fun, I’ll throw in a similar version by American folk duo Over the Rhine. Hopefully they’ll keep it in the set for a while to come.īritish pop star James Bay is one hell of a singer, and he put those pipes to good use on his recent “Songbird,” performed with just a piano accompanist. As we’ve seen here many times, the Swedish sisters are masters at these sorts of covers, just an acoustic guitar and their two voices. He nailed the fairly tricky vocal acrobatics.įirst Aid Kit have played it twice now on their UK tour. On tour in Chile, Harry Styles delivered a version on acoustic guitar backed by his full band (piano most prominent, naturally). And though there have been a fair share of “Don’t Stop”s and “Little Lies”, one song has become the clear, cathartic favorite: “Songbird.” Here are four of the most prominent (a fifth, LCD Soundsystem’s, I can’t find any recording of). After Christine McVie’s passing last week ( here’s our covers tribute), many artists on tour began working her songs into their setlist.

Usher syndrome testing12/10/2023 The classification of individual subtypes based on clinical data is unsatisfactory as the phenotypic variability can be very high, even in the presence of identical variants. However, an early diagnosis is important for adequate schooling and support in childhood. Patients with USH1 are often diagnosed with hearing loss alone until the reduced field of vision (tunnel vision) and night blindness (first signs of RP) have progressed so far that they are noticeable. USH1 accounts for 30-40% of all USH types and is the most severe form with severe congenital deafness, onset of visual impairment (RP) before puberty and often vestibular dysfunction. Most pathogenic variants are detectable in the USH2A gene (USH2A 57%-79%). The most common subtype is USH2 (moderate to severe hearing loss, PR usually after puberty, and normal vestibular function). So far, several genes and a modifier gene ( PDZD7) have been identified. Three main subtypes, USH1, USH2 and USH3, are distinguished mainly by the severity and progression of the hearing loss and the presence of vestibular defects. From routine tests to highly specialized esoteric assays, we cover all diagnostic testing needs with 99% of our tests performed in-house for convenient ordering, cumulative reporting and better patient care and management.Usher Syndrome (USH) a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous autosomal recessive diseases with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, including vestibular dysfunction, gradual retinal degeneration, and retinitis pigmentosa (RP), is the major cause (>50%) of deaf-blindness.

Winamp themes12/9/2023 Well I decided to make another skin this one is LED based which means it has lots of alternating pixel fun, well it really wasn't that much fun, but it wasn't boring so that's the moral of today's story. Some one asked me to make more shiny skins so why not, I made shiny black and will probably make shiny orange next, maybe to be followed by shiny yellow or purple, or whatever. Nearly everything is a bomb and explodes. Well one of my favorite Nintendo games is Bomberman, quite possibly one of the best games ever made, and so I decided to make a Bomberman themed winamp skin and here it is. It only took 3 to 4 hours and 5 colors to make! So I decided to kill it by using a high calibre low quality graphics program called microsoft paint. Well one day I had some free time to kill. I had this crazy idea, while playing quake to make a quake winamp skin and one week and some screen shots and lots of fake blood later, I said for all to hear it be said by me and so sayeth I it is done and it is good. It has stars in the background with some green junk and was worth a couple hours of my time. This one is an Alien themed one it has little alien heads flying saucers and if you look really hard you might find an alien with his probe. I had a day off from school so I decided to make a skin. so um it's gray, but cool, which brings me to my next point kids, don't smoke crack! Look kids it's grey, kind of, well anyhow I made a gray skin, and um I wanted to make something different than my shiny colors so I made one with no colors. I just keep making shiny color skins, but I think my next one will be different, and I think the shiny series is finally done I've made blue, red, and green and I think that's enough unless I can't come up with something original and decide to make shiny yellow or orange. But I'm getting better, this one only took me two days to finish instead of three like the previous two took. I don't know if I'll make anymore shiny winamp skins, but I'll probably make some more normal ones. I call this one Shiny Red, isn't that so original. This one is the second edition in the Shiny series. I especially like how the little lights turn on when each different part is selected. It is kind of hard to find the buttons but I don't care. This is my second winamp skin I named it circuit because I made it to look like a circuit board, with little resistors, capacitors, buttons, sliders, lights, and such. It took me several days to make this skin, but got easier when I realized what I was doing, It was a fun time reverse engineering some of the winamp skins I downloaded to figure out how all those distorted images make something coherent it was fun.Ĭlick here to Download or click on the picture Dock skinned windows at pixels: Type the numbers of pixels at which to dock Winamp windows to the nearest window. Classic Skins Options: Dim window titlebar when not in focus: Dim the title bar unselected Winamp windows. Classic Skins: These preferences apply only to Classic Winamp2.x skins. This is my first winamp skin I named it shiny blue because It's blue and shiny is a word I use to say that I like something. Get skins: Click this to get new skins online. Oh yeah to use a winamp skin you have to have winamp, to get that head to Hey 'heads up' you have to do Save As to download the skins. I really enjoy it because it takes long periods of time and gives me something to do while waiting for very large things to download on my very slow connection. Right-click on the speaker buttons to customize the speakers. Permission to publish the update was received from Patrick Nourry on July 4, 2016. If you want, you can select individual songs and the are shuffled as if they are the entire album.Well I found a fun thing do, make winamp skins. Updated for Winamp 5.666 Link by Ariszló. Winamp supports MP3, CD and other audio formats, more than 10,000 skins and 150 audio visualization and effect plug-ins. Plus shuffle prevents repeats until the entire playlist is done. Also many artists have one song flow into another and breaking them up by using random on a song basis really breaks the music. The next is _Lazing_On_a_Sunday_Afternoon, which is a very lighthearted amusing song. on Queen's ANight_at_the_Opera_, the first song - Death_On_Two_Legs - is a very hard rock song with very pissed off lyrics. This is also essential when the composers created music where the flow from one song to the next is part of the art of the album. I'm old enough to have a lot of music where whole albums are worth listening to.

Splice online12/9/2023 But these drawbacks are outweighed by the plus points, which makes Splice an enjoyable experience overall. This is, however, no modern masterpiece – the plot becomes predictable and contrived in the final third, the minor characters are little more than stereotypes (lax young brother, venal bosses) and the comedic elements of the film don't always sit comfortably with the horror aspects (there is, however, a notable exception in a hilarious scene towards the end). Vincenzo Natali's visually intense direction is also worth mentioning, and he clearly enjoys playing with a generous budget as compared with his previous features like Cube. The two central performances are well-judged, but the real star is Dren or the CGI responsible for her creation, which is always convincing and solid at all stages of the creature's evolution. The story becomes highly engrossing as we follow the creature's development alongside that of the two scientists, who are in a relationship that becomes increasingly strained by a series of ethical and logistical dilemmas. All the power of a desktop video editorin the palm of your hand. Get on the App Store Get it on Google Play The choice of Professionals. Download Splice and start creating stunning videos within minutes. This in turn leads to the creation of a new entity they name Dren, which they raise and attempt to study as a personal project concealed from their employers and colleagues. The most powerful mobile video editor around. Despite a refusal by their company bosses to approve the next stage of the project, or anything that tampers with human DNA, their ambitions lead them to create a human-animal hybrid by combining human genes with those of the created species. Pickups can be made from 7am-4pm Monday to Friday.Splice centres on two renowned young scientists (Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley) that are quasi-famous for successfully creating a new species of animal, a species with enormous pharmaceutical industry potential in the form of an ability to secrete profitable proteins.

Severe brain fog covid12/9/2023 “The brain is incredibly neuroplastic,” he says, “and it can do amazing things.Slow thinking, poor concentration, confusion and difficulty remembering things. But Ely says he’s optimistic that COVID-related brain changes are reversible-one way or another. Some preliminary research also suggests blood-thinning drugs may help breakup tiny “ microclots” in the blood that are linked to systemic inflammation, potentially relieving Long COVID symptoms including fatigue, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.Īs of now, there are no proven therapies for people with Long COVID symptoms, neurologic or otherwise. That approach is particularly exciting, Nath says, because it entails a therapy that is already used to treat a range of autoimmune and neurologic conditions-so if it proves effective, it could be rolled out to Long COVID patients relatively quickly. NINDS is currently enrolling patients for a study on immunotherapy as a potential treatment for neurologic Long COVID. That approach could be risky for people with Long COVID, many of whom experience worsened symptoms after mental or physical exertion, Ely says-but changing the immune system’s function in hopes of reducing inflammation in the brains of people with Long COVID is another promising route. Ely has found that “cognitive rehab,” a process of rebuilding the brain’s function through targeted mental exercises, can help people who develop similar cognitive decline after stays in the intensive-care unit. While there may not be a single solution, that doesn’t mean there’s no solution. “We’re not looking for a magic bullet that will solve all these problems” at once, he says. Damaging these support cells, Ely says, can kick off a domino effect that leads to tissue death in the brain.īut, Ely says, “almost certainly there are multiple processes going on”-it could be that the virus both directly affects the brain and causes changes to the immune system that lead to neurocognitive issues. Wes Ely, who researches brain disease at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, says he’s convinced SARS-CoV-2 can attack the “support cells” of the brain, or those ensure neurons are able to keep the brain and body functioning normally. There’s still a gap in knowledge there.”ĭr. “Some have found it, some have not, and some people who have found it, have found very small amounts. Researchers behind an April 2023 study not yet been peer-reviewed also found SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins-which are found on the virus’ surface and allow it to enter human cells-in the brains of people who died from COVID-19.īut the research is “inconsistent,” Nath says. In one instance, he says, they found viral proteins-but not the full virus-in biopsied tissue from someone who had COVID-19 at the time they were undergoing brain surgery for epilepsy. His team has continued to study the brains of COVID-19 patients and has yet to find concrete evidence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in those organs. To Nath, however, that’s still an open question, and one worthy of more research. In all but one of those individuals, the researchers found the virus’ genetic material in central-nervous-system tissue-which, they wrote, “prov definitively that SARS-CoV-2 is capable of infecting and replicating within the human brain.” Since Nath’s brain-scanning project early in the pandemic, other researchers have found the virus in the brains of people who died from COVID-19.įor a 2022 paper in Nature, researchers analyzed brain tissue of 11 people who had COVID-19 when they died. Their findings pointed to the latter-but researchers still haven’t ruled out the possibility that the virus has direct effects on the brain. Going into that study, Jehi says, her team wanted to determine whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus was entering the brain and causing damage directly, or triggering an immune response that led to brain changes. “We found many areas of overlap between the two, and these areas of overlap centered on…inflammation in the brain and microscopic injuries to the blood vessels,” she says. And in a 2021 study, Jehi and her colleagues compared the brains of people with Long COVID and Alzheimer’s disease. She’s found evidence of abnormal inflammation in people with chronic post-COVID headaches. Lara Jehi, who researches COVID-19 and the brain at the Cleveland Clinic, also points to inflammation as a possible trigger for COVID-19’s neurologic symptoms. In people who survive COVID-19, brain inflammation may also explain years-long symptoms like brain fog and memory loss-though “we don’t know for sure,” Nath says.ĭr. |
