Showcase this message from Orogel: 'The wonder of every day.'
Due October 2nd, 2018 -
Create a series of original videos that showcase the message from Orogel: "The wonder of every day." The wonder of always having high quality seasonal products at your disposal, grown exclusively in Italy directly from Orogel's farming partners, produced and selected with care and attention.
The wonder of not giving up good ingredients by choosing foods high and rich nutritional values, especially those of the wellness line, products frozen just a few hours after harvest, able to offer a balanced mix all the goodness of nature. The wonder of living every day with positivity and wonder thanks to the life choices we have made.
They want to show this all by focusing on the wellness product line. Visit https://www.orogel.it/userfarm_benessere to discover all the qualities and let yourself be inspired.
"Let Yourself be Amazed"
Do you think it's impossible to live everyday with wonder? Wrong!
Just wanting it, just choosing to live in a healthy, constructive and ... why not, practical way!
Think for example of a young woman who, after her dance lesson, cannot stop dancing because she is so passionate, and dances on her way home, with everyone watching. She dances until arriving to her table, where there is her favorite dish: light, nutritious, and delicious! It is as wonderful as her dancing performance on the street.
Or a young boy who tells his mom about the natural wonders that are hidden in an imaginary door inside the freezer.
Or a situation with a group of people, where different people meet up to take care of a piece of land outside the city that was once neglected and wonder how rewarding it is to preserve nature.
Make a video that can convey this message: The ability of Orogel to marvel, to make every day special, and indeed wonderful, thanks to the goodness of its products and the health benefits that you gain through the Wellness line.
Attention: we are not looking for a product focus, so the packaging must not be central to the story, if you want to show it you can but it is not mandatory, and they suggest you do it only if it is perfectly integrated into your creative story.
They ask that you use a product from our wellness line to stay within the brief.
If you want to show fresh vegetables you can but only as a "symbolic" element representing the freshness guaranteed by Orogel in its frozen food. You cannot therefore prepare dishes with fresh vegetables, washing them, cutting them etc.
Your video will end with an image which will be available in the download area with the claim: "#lameravigliadiognigiorno grazie a Orogel" The final image needs to have the Orogel logo + "La meraviglia di ogni giorno" (The wonder of everyday)
The big and small wonders of everyday that you will show, with or without the product, should in some way have to do with:
Wellness, a healthy life, nature, lightness, spontaneity, naturalness
This is because all of the wonders need to be "close" to the values of the Orogel product.
They prefer to receive videos without or with very little dialogue if there is some dialogue it needs to be in Italian and with subtitles.
Entries should be a maximum 30 seconds, inclusive of the graphics.

Reading The Manual
Have you ever tried to read a manual from a DIY project you spotted off the TV or internet? They showed you step by step how to build a furniture piece or how to put together a new outdoor patio area. Then all of a sudden, you're spending hours trying to figure out what the steps mean, not taking into account the labor of actually completing it. What may seem like an easy enough task turns into an unfinished gazebo collecting dust. While anyone can do anything they set their mind to, possessing the time and experience coupled with the right tools is what can make or break the entire dream.
Big Data Analytics = The Manual
Recent hot trends like big data analytics, cloud computing, and AI (Machine Learning) hold the same concept. So, what does it all mean? The growth of information received from smart devices, social media, IoT deployments, customer feedback, etc. is overwhelming. To have such knowledge is highly beneficial as large companies are already using this outburst of big data analytics to improve both internal and external workflows. The problem is no longer centered around how to obtain the knowledge due to advanced technology, but not having the time to figure out what to do with the data, or time to "read and understand the manual" is.
Understanding The Manual
To perform expense management services for your enterprise, you must at least have a basic understanding of how invoice costs and services need to be broken down and not just invoice processing. However, even then, it is not enough. In this technology-driven era, big data is at our fingertips, but with the number of work disruptions in fast-paced environments, who has the time to figure out what to do with all this information? Filtering through thousands of invoices for hundreds of locations to ensure accuracy is just plain time-consuming. Choosing to outsource telecom or utility expense management can be a great advantage because their sole job is to "read the manual" and piece together data analytics so you can focus on what's important- continually developing your core businesses strategy. The key is having the tools and the time.
RadiusPoint's Take on The Manual

Other metabolic myopathiesDifferential diagnosis
Currently there are no specific pharmacological treatments for respiratory chain Therapy disorders. Aerobic training improves exercise tolerance, cardiovascular function, and muscle metabolism in some patients. Strength training may help in some patients. A variety of mitochondrial enzyme supplements have been tried with variable success. These include coenzyme Q, creatine, carnitine, thiamine, nicotinamide, riboflavin, succinate, and menadione. Until the specific enzyme defects within a particular Mt myopathy are better defined, enzyme supplements will have a limited role in treatment of this disorder.
Efficacy Of Rehabilitation
A randomized control trial (RCT) (n 68) investigating the efficacy of PT in patients with PD revealed significant improvements at the disability level regarding quality of life as it relates to physical mobility. The most robust findings occurred at the functional level with respect to walking speed and ADL (6). No significant improvements were found at the impairment level with regard to neurological signs. Several other investigations support these findings. Formisano et al. investigated the benefits of a PT program in comparison to a control group and found greater improvements regarding ADL and a 10-m walking test in the group who had received PT (7). Patti and coauthors investigated the effects of a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program in an RCT on individuals with idiopathic PD and found significant increases in walking speed and stride length compared to a nonintervention control condition (8). In a nonrandomized study, Szekely and coauthors reported significant...
Becker muscular dystrophy BMD
BMD often causes calf pain, cramps, and myalgias. Weakness is present in Clinical syndrome approximately 20 of affected patients. Patients may have no symptoms. In general the severity and onset age correlate with muscle dystrophin levels. As with DMD, affected subjects may have calf muscle hypertrophy and contractures in the lower extremities. Patients with BMD often have a severe cardiomyopathy as part of the muscle weakness syndrome, or may have an isolated dilated cardiomyopathy. In general the average IQ of affected children is reduced compared to the general population and may be a major presenting symptom in BMD. Some patients may present with an atypical neuromuscular disorder mimicking SMA, a focal myopathy, or a limb girdle muscular dystrophy.
Muscle Differentiation Defects and Altered Translation Regulation
The p21 protein, which is an important regulator of cell cycle progression and muscle differentiation, was identified as a downstream target for the muscle differentiation defects induced by expanded CTG repeats (Timchenko et al. 2001b). CUG-BP1 was shown to enhance p21 translation by binding to GCN repeats in the 5' UTR of p21 mRNA (Timchenko et al. 2001b). Accumulation of CUG-BP1 in the nuclei of DM cells resulted in reduced levels of p21 translation leading to reduced differentiation of these cells. These results suggest that reduced MyoD and p21 are directly involved in muscle development abnormalities seen in CDM or defects in muscle regeneration seen in DM1. The molecular mechanisms for muscle weakness and wasting in DM2 patients are not clear since there is no involvement of DMPK 3'UTR in DM2. To date, none of the transgenic or knockout mouse models have reproduced a clear progressive muscular dystrophy phenotype as observed in individuals with DM1 (Berul et al. 2000 Kanadia et...
Developmental origin of satellite cells
A scenario for exclusively somitic muscle development emerges from the classical studies described above. However, De Angelis and colleagues suggested that satellite cells have nonsomitic origins (28). These authors demonstrated that clonal myogenic MPCs are readily isolated from explants of embryonic aorta. In vitro, these clones exhibit morphology similar to that of satellite cells derived from adult skeletal muscle and coexpress a number of myogenic and endothelial markers. MPCs can also be isolated from limbs of late-stage c-Met- - and Pax3- - mutant embryos. Those mice are severely deficient for determination and migration of myogenic precursors, resulting in complete absence of muscle cells in embryo limbs. However, the vascular system of those embryos is formed normally, suggesting that the MPCs derived from these tissues have endothelial origins. In vivo, aorta-derived MPCs can participate in skeletal muscle regeneration and give rise to many myogenic cells when introduced...
Rectobladderneck Fistula
In this defect, which affects 10 of males, the rectum opens at the bladder neck (Fig. 20.9). The patient has a poor prognosis because the levator ani muscle, muscle complex, and external sphincter are frequently poorly developed. Consistent with the caudal regression, the sacrum and entire pelvis is often deformed and underdeveloped. The perineum is often flat, with evidence of poor muscle development.
RF Thermal Energy Systems
Earlier studies to determine the effect of RF energy on tissue alteration in the GEJ were performed on porcine and canine models. Histopathic assessment was inconclusive in the pig study whereas the dog model demonstrated marked muscle hypertrophy and fibrosis (Utley et al, 2000). Segments of tissue from the gastric cardia showed a significant increase in thickness after RF energy delivery. However, an endoscopic ultrasonogram (EUS) study in a small group of patients performed prior to and 6 months following RF treatment showed no significant alteration in the wall thickness in the GEJ region (Dibaise et al, 2002).
Assessment of the Sphincter Complex and Nerve Supply
Deficiency of the third, fourth, and fifth sacral vertebrae is usually accompanied by variable abnormal nerve and muscle development, and most patients are incontinent. 4. The innervation and muscle development accompanying hemisacral defects is unpredictable, but if only one or two vertebrae show the hemisacral defect, then innervation and muscle development may be adequate, and can be determined on cross-sectional imaging.
Predigested Protein and Athletic Performance
Some bodybuilders and other power athletes take powdered or liquid amino acid mixtures ( predigested protein ) in the belief that simple amino acids are absorbed more easily and rapidly or that they somehow contribute more to muscle building. Such beliefs are unfounded. Dietary proteins are rapidly digested and absorbed, and there is no added benefit to taking predigested protein. Amino acid
Theories Of Senescence
The application of DR to extending longevity in humans at present is out of the question. It is far from certain that it would succeed and, if it did, that exaggerated morbidity would not occur. Furthermore, there is considerable uncertainty about the optimum body composition associated with health and longevity. For example, there are unanswered questions about the optimum proportions of lean muscle and fat masses and the rates of change of those components at different physiological and chronological ages (23-25).
Strategies for gene transfer into muscle
Direct gene therapy is another approach to deliver genes to skeletal muscle. Muscle cells have been successfully transduced in vitro and in vivo using the intramuscular inoculation of replicative-deficient adenovirus, retrovirus, and HSV carrying the -galactosidase (LacZ) reporter gene however, a major limitation of using these viral vectors alone is the differential transducibility observed throughout skeletal muscle development (22,29).
Diagnosis Of Essential Tremor
Two common clinical situations are the differentiation between ET and PD and ET and dystonic tremor. Some of the features of PD that generally do not occur in patients with ET are hemibody involvement (e.g., ipsilateral arm and leg) and bradykinesia and rigidity. The postural tremor of ET also tends to involve wrist flexion and extension whereas in PD, wrist rotation (esp., internal) often occurs. Features of dystonic tremor that do not occur in patients with pure ET are dystonic movements or postures, muscle hypertrophy, complaints of pain or pulling in the affected body region, a null point, and a nonrhythmic quality to the tremor.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy DMD
They often have calf muscle hypertrophy, muscle fibrosis, contractures in the lower extremities, and scoliosis of the spine. In general the average IQ of affected children is reduced compared to the general population to approximately 85. Some patients (20 ) may have more severe cognitive impairment. Other features include a retinal abnormality with night blindness, and a cardiomyopathy that develops by the mid-teens. In DMD, cardiac conduction defects, resting tachycardia, and cardiomyopathy are frequently encountered. Mitral valve prolapse and pulmonary hypertension may also be seen. Death normally occurs by the late teens to early twenties from respiratory or cardiac failure.
Exercise and Senescence
There is no clear evidence that exercise will prolong your life, but there is little doubt that it improves the quality of life in old age. It maintains endurance, strength, and joint mobility while it reduces the incidence and severity of hypertension, osteoporosis, obesity, and diabetes melli-tus. This is especially true if you begin a program of regular physical exercise early in life and make a lasting habit of it. If you stop exercising regularly after middle age, the body rapidly becomes deconditioned, although appreciable reconditioning can be achieved even when an exercise program is begun late in life. A person in his or her 90s can increase muscle strength two- or threefold in 6 months with as little as 40 minutes of isometric exercise a week. The improvement results from a combination of muscle hypertrophy and neural efficiency.
Loss of Function of Surrounding Genes
Expanded CTG repeats were shown to alter chromatin structure and have regional effects on gene expression (Otten and Tapscott 1995 Wang et al. 1994). The CTG expansion in the DMPK 3'UTR are located immediately upstream of the SIX5 promoter region and were shown to lower SIX5 expression (Gennarelli et al. 1999 Inukai et al. 2000 Klesert et al. 1997 Thornton et al. 1997). Six5 is a transcription factor required for eye development in Drosophila, and the mouse homologue is implicated in distal limb muscle development (Harris et al. 2000). Six5 knockout mice develop ocular cataracts and infertility resembling some features of DM1 (Klesert et al. 2000 Sarkar et al. 2000). Cardiac conduction abnormalities were also noted in Six5 knockout mice (Wakimoto et al. 2002). However, the most common symptoms of DM1 such as muscle weakness, wasting, and myotonia were not reproduced in Six5 knockout mice (Klesert et al. 2000 Sarkar et al. 2000). The identification of a second locus causing DM2 reduced...
Exercise Assessment
Exercise alone is, unfortunately, not a terribly effective method for losing weight. It is difficult for the untrained person to do enough of it, and most if not all of the expended energy is compensated by increased caloric intake. Exercise is, however, a superb way to maintain a lower weight after weight loss, enabling a person to eat somewhat more than a nonexerciser and maintain the same given weight. Regular aerobic exercise and strength training will also improve cardiovascular fitness, trim inches, and promote growth of metabolically more active muscle tissue.
Autosomal recessive
- Chromosome 15q15-linked LGMD (Calpain3) There is considerable variation in the severity of this disease initially described among Amish families and families from La Reunion. Onset is usually before age 10 years, with a wide range of time before loss of ambulation and death. Shoulder and pelvic girdle muscles are affected, facial muscles are spared, calf muscle hypertrophy is common, and the degree of clinical heterogeneity makes it difficult to distinguish from other forms of LGMD.
Myotonia congenita
Myotonia is usually mild, approximately 50 may have percussion myotonia. The myotonia (Fig. 33) is associated with fluctuations, and may be worsened by cold, hunger, fatigue and emotional upset. Muscle hypertrophy is seen in many patients (Fig. 34), and occasionally patients may complain of myalgias. Patients may report a warm-up phenomenon, in which the myotonia decreases after repeated activity. Muscle strength is usually normal. Mild myotonia occurring late in life, with less muscle hypertrophy.
Hyperkyphosis Fshmd
Muscle hypertrophy is much rarer than atrophy and may be generalized, as in myotonia congenita, or localized, as in the pseudohypertrophy of the calf muscles in some types of muscular dystrophy and glycogen storage diseases. Focal hypertrophy is even rarer and may occur in muscle tumors, focal myositis, amyloidosis, or infection. Also, ruptured muscles may mimic a local hypertrophy during contraction.
Nitrogen Balance
Proteins are our chief dietary source of nitrogen. Nitrogen balance is a state in which the rate of nitrogen ingestion equals the rate of excretion (chiefly as nitrogenous wastes). Growing children exhibit a state of positive nitrogen balance because they ingest more than they excrete, thus retaining protein for tissue growth. Pregnant women and athletes in resistance training also show positive nitrogen balance. When excretion exceeds ingestion, a person is in a state of negative nitrogen balance. This indicates that body proteins are being broken down and used as fuel. Proteins of the muscles and liver are more easily broken down than others thus negative nitrogen balance tends to be associated with muscle atrophy. Negative nitrogen balance may occur if carbohydrate and fat intake are insufficient to meet the need for energy. Carbohydrates and fats are said to have a protein-sparing effect because they prevent protein catabolism when present in sufficient amounts to meet energy...
Provocative test
In Andersen's syndrome there is a potassium sensitive periodic paralysis with cardiac dysrhythmias and dysmorphic features. Acetazolamide-responsive myotonia congenita is an autosomal dominant sodium channel defect in which there is muscle hypertrophy, and paradoxical myotonia. The disorder is associated with muscle pain and stiffness, is aggravated by potassium, and improved by acetazolamide. It is not associated with weakness. Myotonia permanens is a sodium channel defect associated with severe continuous myotonia that may interfere with breathing. There is usually marked muscle hypertrophy in this disorder. Myotonia fluctuans is an autosomal dominant defect of the SCN4A subunit of the muscle sodium channel. In this disorder there is mild myotonia that varies in severity. Stiffness develops during rest approximately 30 minutes after exercise and may last for up to 60 minutes. Stiffness is worsened by potassium, or depolarizing agents. The stiffness may interfere with respiration if...
And neurogenesis
Pax, Six, and Eya family members, together with the transcription co-factor Dach, act in an intricate cross-regulatory network in both eye and muscle development (see Reference 21). Dach family members are expressed in part of the preplacodal domain and in various placodes.22-25 It is intriguing to speculate that expression of Six, Eya, and perhaps also Dach genes within the preplacodal domain may provide a pan-placodal regulatory module. Different Pax family members are induced in different locations within the preplacodal domain by specific placode-inducing signals from neighboring tissues (for a comprehensive review of known placode-inducing tissues and signals, see Reference 2). The different Pax proteins might then interact with Six, Eya and Dach members to specify the identities of individual placodes. There is currently no real evidence for this model, but it is eminently testable.
Medical Management
We use a two-channel electromyography electrode with one sensor placed in the anal canal and the other surface electrode placed on the gluteus muscles for strength and endurance training. Patients practice maximum squeeze and muscle isolation in the upright position, which facilitates coordination training and enhances feedback. When patients demonstrate adequate understanding and ability to perform exercises, they are assigned to continue strength training at home, using gradually increasing daily exercises. We have found that patients relearn sensitivity to smaller filling volumes and sensation improves without formalized training.
Body Sculpture

If so, you're not alone! The problem is that while many people would love to have better defined muscles they're not sure how to go about achieving them.

The Google Cloud Content Delivery Network uses Google's global edge network to serve content closer to users, which accelerates your websites and applications.
The Cloud CDN content delivery network works with HTTP(S) load balancing to deliver content to your users. The HTTP(S) load balancer provides the frontend IP addresses and ports that receive requests and the backends that respond to the requests.
Cloud CDN content can be sourced from various types of backends:
- Instance groups
- Zonal network endpoint groups (NEGs)
- Internet network endpoint groups (NEGs), for endpoints that are outside of Google Cloud (also known as custom origins)
- Buckets in Google Cloud Storage
In Cloud CDN, these backends are also called origin servers. The following figure illustrates how responses from origin servers running on VM instances flow through an HTTP(S) load balancer before being delivered by Cloud CDN.
How Cloud CDN works
When a user requests content from an HTTP(S) load balancer, the request arrives at a Google Front End (GFE), which is located at the edge of Google's network as close as possible to the user.
If the load balancer's URL map routes traffic to a backend that has Cloud CDN configured, the GFE uses Cloud CDN.
The following figure shows a cache miss and a cache hit.
Cache hit
If the GFE looks in the Cloud CDN cache and finds a cached response to the user's request, the GFE sends the cached response to the user. This is called a cache hit. When a cache hit occurs, the GFE looks up the content by its cache key and responds directly to the user, shortening the round trip time and saving the origin server from having to process the request.
Cache miss
The first time that a piece of content is requested, the GFE determines that it can't fulfill the request from the cache. This is called a cache miss.
When a cache miss occurs, The GFE might attempt to get the content from a nearby cache. If the nearby cache has the content, the GFE sends the content to the first cache via cache-to-cache fill. Otherwise, the GFE forwards the request to the HTTP(S) load balancer.
The load balancer then forwards the request to one of your backends. This backend is the origin server for the content.
When the cache receives the content, the GFE forwards the content to the user.
In the following figure:
- Origin servers running on VM instances send HTTPS(S) responses.
- The HTTP(S) load balancer distributes the responses to Cloud CDN.
- Cloud CDN delivers the resposes to end users.
Caching content
If the origin server's response to this request is cacheable, Cloud CDN stores the response in the Cloud CDN cache for future requests.
Data transfer from a cache to a client is called cache egress. Data transfer to a cache is called cache fill. As illustrated in the following figure, cache fill can originate from another Cloud CDN cache or from the origin server.
On cache hits, you pay for cache egress bandwidth. On cache misses—including misses that resulted in cache-to-cache fill—you additionally pay for cache fill bandwidth. That means, all else being equal, cache hits cost less than cache misses. For detailed pricing information, refer to the pricing page.
No URL redirection
Cloud CDN doesn't perform any URL redirection. The Cloud CDN cache is located at the GFE. This means that:
- Whether or not Cloud CDN is enabled, the URL that a client requests remains the same URL.
- Whether or not there's a cache hit, the URL remains the same URL.
Cache hit ratio
The cache hit ratio is the percentage of times that a requested object is served from the cache. If the cache hit ratio is 60%, it means that the requested object is served from the cache 60% of the time and must be retrieved from the origin 40% of the time.
In the Google Cloud Console, the cache hit ratio is reported for each origin in the Cache hit ratio column. Go to the Cloud CDN page The percentage shown on this page represents a ratio calculated for a small time frame (the last few minutes). To view the cache hit ratio for a time period from 1 hour to 30 days, click the origin name and then click the Monitoring tab.
For information about how cache keys can affect the cache hit ratio, refer to Using cache keys. For troubleshooting information, refer to Cache hit ratio is low.
Inserting content into the cache
Caching is reactive in that an object is stored in a particular cache if a request goes through that cache and if the response is cacheable. An object stored in one cache does not automatically replicate into other caches; cache fill happens only in response to a client-initiated request. You cannot pre-load caches except by causing the individual caches to respond to requests.
When the origin server supports byte range requests, Cloud CDN can initiate multiple cache fill requests in reaction to a single client request. The section Requests initiated by Cloud CDN has more information about these requests.
Serving content from a cache
After you enable Cloud CDN, caching happens automatically for all cacheable content. Your origin server uses HTTP headers to indicate which responses should be cached and which should not. When you use a backend bucket, the origin server is Cloud Storage. When you use VM instances, the origin server is the web server software that you run on those instances. Caching details has additional information about what Cloud CDN caches and for how long.
Cloud CDN uses caches in numerous locations around the world. Because of the nature of caches, it is impossible to predict whether a particular request will be served out of a cache. You can, however, expect that popular requests for cacheable content will be served from a cache a high percentage of the time, yielding significantly reduced latencies, reduced cost, and reduced load on your origin servers.
You can view logs to see what Cloud CDN is serving from cache.
Removing content from the cache
To remove an item from cache, you can invalidate cached content.
Read about cache invalidation. Learn how to invalidate cached content.
Cache bypass
To bypass Cloud CDN, you can request an object directly from a Cloud Storage bucket or a Compute Engine VM. For example, a URL for a Cloud Storage bucket object looks like this:
Eviction and expiration
For content to be served from a cache, it must have been inserted into the cache, it must not be evicted, and it must not be expired.
Eviction and expiration are two different concepts. They both affect what gets served, but they don't directly affect each other.
Eviction: Every cache has a limit on how much it can hold. However, Cloud CDN adds content to caches even after they're full. To insert content into a full cache, the cache first removes something else to make room. This is called eviction. Caches are usually full, so they are constantly evicting content. They generally evict content that hasn't recently been accessed, regardless of the content's expiration time. The evicted content might be expired, and it might not be. Setting an expiration time doesn't affect eviction.
Unpopular content means content that hasn't been accessed in a while. "A while" and "unpopular" are both relative to the bulk of other items in the cache. As caches receive more traffic, they also evict more cached content.
As with all large-scale caches, content can be evicted unpredictably, so no particular request is guaranteed to be served from the cache.
Expiration: Content in HTTP(S) caches can have a configurable expiration time. The expiration time informs the cache not to serve old content, even if the content hasn't been evicted.
For example, consider a picture-of-the-hour URL. Its responses should probably be set to expire in under one hour. Otherwise, the served content might be an old picture from a cache.
Requests initiated by Cloud CDN
When your origin server supports byte range requests, Cloud CDN can send multiple requests to the origin server in reaction to a single client request. As described in Support for byte range requests, Cloud CDN can initiate two types of requests: validation requests and byte range requests. For more information about byte range requests, see that documentation.
Data location settings of other Cloud Platform Services
Note that using Cloud CDN means data may be stored at serving locations outside of the region or zone of your origin server. This is normal and how HTTP caching works on the Internet. Under the Service Specific Terms of the Google Cloud Platform Terms of Service, the Data Location Setting that is available for certain Cloud Platform Services will not apply to Core Customer Data for the respective Cloud Platform Service when used with other Google products and services (in this case the Cloud CDN service). If you do not want this outcome, please do not use the Cloud CDN service.
Support for Google-managed SSL certificates
You can use Google-managed certificates when Cloud CDN is enabled.
Cloud Armor restriction
Google Cloud Armor is not supported for Cloud CDN. If you try to associate a Google Cloud Armor Security Policy with a backend service and Cloud CDN is enabled, the configuration is rejected. Similarly, if you attempt to enable Cloud CDN on a backend service that has an associated Google Cloud Armor security policy, the configuration process fails.

Hw97K Tuning
ian118118 posted a topic in Rifle Reviews, Technical Help and TipsHello all, Il start by saying that I have just started a project and would like some opinions. I have owned a Hw97k for a while now but over the last few months I have not been using it as I brought an AAS410F. I decided I could use the 97K as a project to see just how little recoil and noise can be achieved from a springer. Tonight after I finished work I got home and had nothing to do, so the project began! I started off by stripping down the Hw97k, as you do. I then proceeded to clean all of the lube off of the internal parts. I would like to add at this point that my 97K did have the back block glued to the cylinder. However it still came off after a few swift hits onto an old spanner I had lying around which matched the size of where the trigger was ( close enough!) I then measured all of the parts and this was what I recorded (results are in metric and results may be + - up to 0.02): Piston Outside diameter 25.57 Inside diameter 22.00 Width of the pistons shaft which moves into the trigger mechanism 9. Length of piston 140.56 Length with the shaft included 169.65 (approximately?) Thickness 1.68 Slot diameter 5.30 Depth inside piston 124.74 Piston seal outside diameter 26.08 Length 10.32 Factory fitted washer 1.06 Rubber O'ring which appears to hold the washer in place 1.48 Spring Wire diameter 3.07 (average) Length 230.86 (was hard to accurately measure) Internal diameter 14.04 down to 13.91 Outside diameter 20.21 down to 20.07 Spring Guide Washer on spring guide outside diameter 29.81 Washer on spring guide inside diameter 13.98 Thickness 3.01 Guide length 99.99 outside diameter 13.74- 13.54 Inside diameter 10.01- 10.05 Thickness 1.75 ( measured from the top of the spring guide) Compression tube Outer diameter 29.72 Internal diameter 25.98 Thickness 1.96 (measured from the back of the compression tube) Length 154.27 Internal length 143.99 Diameter at the end of the tube where the seal sits 11.98 Trigger block Internal diameter for the piston to slide into 10.02 Length from front of back block to touching the main sear where the piston would engage 22.98 Now I am wondering what the next step could be? I have a old Rekord trigger unit which was made in 1981 which is a lot smoother than the newer one so I am going to be using that instead. I have taken apart the older Rekord Unit and made sure everything is okay inside and gave it a quick polish and put it back together. I have also polished to piston tonight and gave the cocking slot a smoothen. I am asking what you guys would recommend A) manufacture new parts so that they sit tighter together inside ( still allowing smooth movement) and making as little movement as possible sideways. Or Use the standard factory parts and alter a few things I.E place a sleeve inside the piston and button the piston + comp tube. I would also like to hear from anyone who has used graphite as a lube inside their airguns as I am toying with the idea. Any opinions very welcome Ian.

Little House on the Prairie and its contested political legacyFriday, December 8th, 2017
With her books, Laura Ingalls Wilder forged a myth of the American pioneer.

With her books, Laura Ingalls Wilder forged a myth of the American pioneer.
more about it here
First it was a story. Then a moment. Now, two months after women began to come forward in droves to accuse powerful men of sexual harassment and assault, it is a movement.
Time magazine has named "the silence breakers" its person of the year for 2017, referring to those women, and the global conversation they have started.
The magazine's editor in chief, Edward Felsenthal, said in an interview on the "Today" show on Wednesday that the #MeToo movement represented the "fastest-moving social change we've seen in decades, and it began with individual acts of courage by women and some men too."
Investigations published in October by The New York Times and The New Yorker, both of them detailing multiple allegations of sexual harassment and assault against the movie producer Harvey Weinstein, sparked the sudden rush of women coming forward.
In a joint interview after the choice was announced, Tarana Burke, who created the Me Too mantra years ago, and the actress Alyssa Milano, who helped promote it more recently, focused on what was still left to do.
"I've been saying from the beginning that it's not just a moment, it's a movement," Ms. Burke said. "I think now the work really begins. The hashtag is a declaration. But now we're poised to really stand up and do the work."
Ms. Milano agreed, laying out her aspirations for the movement.
"I want companies to take on a code of conduct, I want companies to hire more women, I want to teach our children better," she said. "These are all things that we have to set in motion, and as women we have to support each other and stand together and say that's it, we're done, no more."
It is a testament to the size of the movement that the set of "Today" itself, where the announcement was made, had recently been the site of such a reckoning. Matt Lauer, one of NBC's most well-known personalities for decades, was fired only last week after an allegation of sexual harassment from a subordinate. Other complaints soon followed.
And of course, Time's 2017 runner-up for person of the year, Donald J. Trump, was accused during his presidential campaign by more than 10 women of sexual misconduct, from unwanted touching to sexual assault.
Those accusations did not stop Mr. Trump from being named person of the year in 2016. And Mr. Trump inadvertently promoted this year's announcement, tweeting that he had been told he would "probably" be chosen again and claiming to have turned down the honor. Time quickly released a statement saying that the president was incorrect.
Time has been using the title for more than nine decades to drum up interest in one of its tentpole issues. The magazine chose its first group, as opposed to a single "man of the year" (and back then it was a man), in 1950, when it selected "the American Fighting-man." The title was changed to the neutral "person of the year" in 1999.
Other groups have included "Americans under 25" in 1966, "The Whistleblowers" in 2002 and, memorably, "You" in 2006.
In 1975, the magazine chose "American women," profiling a dozen who it said "symbolized the new consciousness of women generally." It would be a decade before Time selected another woman.
The international border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland is about 310 miles long with, depending on how many tracks you include, as many as 275 crossing points.
In reality, the entire border is a crossing point because, apart from road signs changing from miles per hour to kilometres per hour, there is no physical infrastructure to see.
The concern is that all that could change when the UK leaves the European Union, and Ireland stays as an EU member state.
Part of the concern is political. The 1998 Good Friday Agreement, the basic building block of peace in Northern Ireland, removed security checkpoints from the border and helped make it all but invisible. Customs checks could undermine much of that progress.
Like many peace deals, the Good Friday Agreement is a masterpiece of creative ambiguity, allowing different people to take different things from different parts of the text.
Shared membership of the European Union made that much easier to achieve. Ireland wants a clear written commitment that the agreement will be respected in all its parts.
The other concern of course is economic. The economies of Northern Ireland and the Republic are completely interconnected. Huge amounts of goods and services cross the border every day without checks of any kind.
Brexit negotiators are currently looking through more than 140 areas of north-south co-operation, involving everything from the single electricity market to environmental protection.
It is also estimated that at least 30,000 people cross the border every day for work. The movement of people is governed by the Common Travel Area between the UK and Ireland, which predates the EU.
Both sides are determined that the Common Travel Area will remain in place, but that in itself doesn't resolve the challenge of a hard border re-emerging.
Because the UK has announced that it is leaving the EU single market and the customs union. That immediately turns the internal border in Ireland into an external border for the single market and the customs union – with all the potential checks that implies.
At the moment, all rules and regulations, north and south, are exactly the same – on food safety, on animal welfare… you name it.
Again, it's a relationship based in large part on agreements covered by joint membership of the EU. As soon as that changes, border checks may have to begin again.
That's why the Irish government wants a written guarantee from the UK that Northern Ireland will continue to follow EU rules – so goods can continue to move freely across the border.
"It seems essential to us," said the Irish Foreign Minister Simon Coveney earlier this month, "that there is no emergence of regulatory divergence from the rules of the internal market or the customs unions which are necessary for meaningful north-south co-operation, or an all-Ireland economy that is consistent with the Good Friday Agreement."
In other words, both Ireland and the rest of the EU are suggesting that Northern Ireland should stay within the customs union and the single market.
Yes. It would – in effect – push the customs border out into the Irish Sea… an internal customs border, if you like, between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
Would that be acceptable to the UK government, or to its Unionist political allies in Northern Ireland, the DUP? In a word, no.
"We respect the European Union desire to protect the legal order of the single market and customs union," the UK's Brexit Secretary David Davis said in Brussels recently.
"But that cannot come at a cost to the constitutional and economic integrity of the United Kingdom."
If it did that then, under World Trade Organization rules, it would have to do the same for the rest of the world. The UK economy would be swamped with cheap imports.
The EU would impose checks anyway which might allow the UK government to shift the blame on to Brussels. But that would be a pretty futile gesture.
If it was easy, it would already have been done.
The EU argues that the UK's red lines on Ireland – no border on the one hand, and UK exit from the single market and the customs union on the other – are fundamentally incompatible.
The British government has spoken of technological fixes such as pre-screening of goods, and trusted trader schemes.
The EU says such things could speed up border transit, but it would be nowhere near enough to avoid the return of some border checks.
Alternatively, Irish officials argue that there are already cases of rules and regulations being different in Northern Ireland than in the rest of the UK, and they point to other examples such as Hong Kong in China where there are different regulatory arrangements within sovereign states.
Intense negotiations are taking place to try to come up with a solution that would ensure a) no divergence of regulations in key areas; and b) the creation of some form of customs partnership on the island of Ireland, which doesn't threaten the constitutional order of the UK.
But if a fix emerges that seems to turn Northern Ireland into a back door route into the single market, then other EU countries will cry foul.
So even if all parties agree in the next two weeks that "sufficient progress" on Ireland has been made, there will be a long way to go before any kind of lasting solution emerges.
Just a few days after announcing their engagement, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have made their first official royal engagement as a couple.
Harry and Markle carried out two separate engagements. The first was a visit to a charity fair hosted by the Terrence Higgins Trust to mark World Aids Day – a cause the Prince is famously passionate amount. The next is to Nottingham Academy where they will meet teachers and staff from Full Effect, a programme which aims to support at risk children and young people.
This step is the first of many for Meghan as she prepares to join the family and focus on her charity and humanitarian work after moving away from her acting career.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have given their first interview since their engagement was announced. Here are seven things we learned about their relationship.
Just weeks after they met, Prince Harry convinced Ms Markle to join him on a trip to Botswana.
"We camped out with each other under the stars," the prince said.
"She came and joined me for five days out there, which was absolutely fantastic."
He said being away allowed them to get to know each other without the usual pressures of royal life.
Ms Markle credited her American background – and lack of exposure to British tabloids – with allowing her to get to know Prince Harry naturally and organically.
For his part, the prince had never seen Suits, the American legal drama in which Ms Markle stars, and had never even heard of her before they met.
They were both pleasantly surprised by their blind date.
"I was beautifully surprised when I walked into that room and saw her," he said.
"I was like, 'I'm really going to have to up my game here'."
The pair also announced that Ms Markle will not continue acting.
"I don't see it as giving anything up. I see it as a change. It's a new chapter…" she said.
"Now it's time to work as a team with you," she said as she turned to Prince Harry.
They talked about forging a new role for themselves as a couple, focusing on the humanitarian causes over which they first bonded.
The prince said Ms Markle would easily take to the role of being a member of the Royal Family and said they were a "fantastic team".
he couple described a quiet night at home, cooking a roast chicken together, when the prince surprised Ms Markle by getting down on one knee.
Ms Markle described the moment.
It was "just a cosy night… trying to roast a chicken and it just – just an amazing surprise.
"It was so sweet and natural and very romantic," she said.
And it was an instant "yes" from Ms Markle.
"I could barely let you finish proposing, I said – 'can I say yes now'?"
Ms Markle confirmed that one of her two dogs has followed her to London.
And Prince Harry revealed the Queen's corgis took to her "straight away" when she met the monarch.
Prince Harry's brother and sister-in-law, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, are expecting their third child next year.
But Ms Markle laughed when Prince Harry's answer to a question about their plans for having children was "not currently".
The prince added: "One step at a time and hopefully we'll start a family in the near future."

I have an iphone running iOS 6.1.6 and I do not subscribe to a Telus data plan. It seems that I cannot receive texts from my friend (who also has an iphone) unless I have wifi internet connectivity. She is not on the Telus network. I can send messages to her without internet, but not receive hers. She is running iOS 7.1.1. I do not have the same problem receiving texts from Android devices. What can I do?
Firstly check your messages settings on your iPhone. Or you can reset your iPhone. But before resetting iPhone, you'd better backup your data. You can transfer text messages from iPhone to computer, transfer contacts from iPhone to computer to back them up.
Turn off imessage.
Change her phone in your contacts as a 'mobile phone', not an 'iphone'.

Pressure Air Fryer by Emeril Lassage
The Emeril Pressure Air Fryer is a two-in-one pressure cooker plus air fryer that is much faster than conventional cooking and claims to give food a crispy outside, while maintaining a juicy inside.
Pressure Air Fryer by Emeril Lassage Reviews - Is It Worth it?
By combining the speed pressure cooking offers and the "guilt free crunch and crisp of air frying," the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer is a stainless steel versatile 12-in-1 air fryer and oven.
A dual-lid works by the first lid acting as the pressure cooker, while the second lid features a "turbo air fan" with a heating component that fries food with "superheated air."
Represented by Emeril Lagasse, who is an award winning famous chef and TV personality, this Pressure Air Fryer is a new version of the various "As Seen On TV" products, under Tristar Products, a 25-year old company.
Using the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer can be a good option for family meals, as you simply load in the ingredients and the cooker automatically goes into the "keep warm" mode once the food is ready.
It also has 44 presets for a variety of meals and is free from "non-stick" chemicals like PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), aka Teflon & PFOA (Perfluorooctanoic Acid).
Once you are done using the Pressure Air Fryer, you turn it off and unplug it and then you load the cooking pot into the dishwasher, or wash it by hand.
As we examine the Emeril Pressure AIr Fryer, we will consider it as a family-friendly option for healthier meals that are quick to prepare.
How Much Does The Pressure Fryer Cost?
You can buy the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer 6QT for $119.97 or three payments of $39.99 plus $19.99 S&H on the fryer's official website, PressureAirFryer.com.
You also have the 8 QT option for $147.97 or three payments of $39.99 plus $19.99 in shipping charges.
Your purchase includes the following:
- Pressure air fryer unit
- Pressure cook lid
- Air fry lid
- Stainless steel mesh basket
- Stainless steel airflow stacking rack
- Stainless steel pot
- Recipe book
If you upgrade to the Deluxe Accessory Kit for $39.96 it includes a glass lid, steam basket, springform pan and a baking pan.
The website also offers a 6-Year Protection Plan, which is an additional $30 and covers not only accidents but also the usual wear and tear of the equipment. Also, there is a 60-day money-back guarantee on all purchases.
How The Pressure Air Fryer Compares To Other Air Fryers
The Emeril Pressure Air Fryer is one option among many other air fryers. One example is the The Power Air Fryer XL whose listed price for the larger eight quart size was $159.99 at the time of writing.
The Power Air Fryer XL comes in two size options: six or eight quarts. It is a 7-in-1 cooker as well as a dehydrator and rotisserie, which offers 360-degree air circulation.
The items included are:
- 3 air-flow racks
- 10 stainless-steel skewers
- XL rotating mesh basket
- Rotating rotisserie spit
- Oil drip tray
- Three recipe books
Reviewers on Amazon rate this product with an average of 3.8 stars, with positive feedback stating it was "super easy to use and clean up," a "great product," and the "food tasted amazing."
On the other hand, many recent comments were fairly negative, claiming the air fryer was "poorly designed," "cook times are longer than stated," and even that it, "suddenly stopped working."
People also pointed out that there is only a 60-day warranty, which for certain customers the air fryer broke outside of this window of time and so they lost the warranty and their money.
Another option is the Cosori Air Fryer, which was $119.99 for the 5.8-quarts size on Amazon.com at the time of writing.
It's a square design versus the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer's round shape. It features an LED touchscreen and a 5.8-quart capacity, which can serve three to five people It also comes in a smaller and cheaper 3.7-quart size.
The Cosori Air Fryer comes with a detachable fry basket and pot, free from BFOA and BPA, and is safe for the dishwasher. The fryer comes with a recipe book, too.
It is highly rated on Amazon with an average rating of 4.7 stars, calling it a "beautifully designed," "awesome air fryer," and "extremely accurate."
A few people said they were disappointed with the product and it smells of "burning plastic" when working.
The Cosori Air Fryer comes with a 90-day money back guarantee, as well as a 2-year warranty, which many people found generous compared to other such products.
The warranty was a big bonus on the Cosori Air Fryer and the reviews were elaborate in praise of this product. Conversely, the Power Air Fryer XL had more than a few negative aspects, a main complaint being that the money-back guarantee seemed "hidden" and not long enough.
When compared to the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer, the Power Air Fryer XL and the Cosori Air Fryer produce the same kind of beneficial results of frying food without the use of excess oil, thus cutting the calories from fat by a good amount.
The main difference is simply the fact that the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer combines the added pressure cooking aspect whereas the competing brands are only an air fryer.
Pros And Cons Of Air Fryers
There are many benefits with using a air fryer compared to a traditional deep fryer, foremost being that the smoke element is contained because of the air-tight closings on air fryers. A few more notable benefits are listed below.
One of the phrases that stands out with the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer is that it makes fried food without the "guilt."
The Cosori Air Fryer specifically advertises that by using their air fryer you get "85% less fat," as opposed to deep frying, while keeping the "crunch" people so enjoy in fried food.
According to Carrie Forrest, MPH, who is the Creator of Clean Eating Kitchen, air fryers' strengths also include convenience, because, "you don't have to heat up your entire oven, so it's more energy efficient," and "it re-heats food so wonderfully without the sogginess you would get with a microwave."
On the other hand, Forrest adds that, "you can't make everything in an air-fryer, it's really only good for baking."
And though you can make decent sized meals from three to five people, an air fryer cannot contain as much food as a conventional oven.
Additionally, eating from an air fryer does not mean that you are eating a nutritious meal, even if it does cut fat. You do still need to be mindful of eating a balanced diet.
With the many benefits an air fryer can provide with being a versatile "guilt-free" alternative to deep frying food, it is important to also eat conscientiously despite the air fryers convenience.
Our Conclusions About the Pressure Air Fryer
After considering the possibilities and different aspects that the Emeril Pressure Air Fryer presents, it seems like a great appliance to have at your disposal.
Reviews of similar air fryers varied in positive and negative feedback, with the Cosori Air Fryer being a bit better received by Amazon customers than the Power Air Fryer XL.
With a heightened recognition of the need to eat better, air fryers are a healthy alternative to food preparations that require a lot of oil and additionally can release strong odors in the home. An air fryer also makes clean up a lot easier.
The Emeril Pressure Air Fryer can be a good tool for a variety of reasons, with the plethora of presets for different kinds of meals. It is also unique in not only being an air fryer, but also works as a pressure cooker, which makes meal preparation more versatile than what you'd get with only an air fryer.
I saw the TV presentation and thought the Emeril Pressure Cooker/Air Fryer would be great for quick meals. I've tried to cook in it twice and both times there is a strange odor that is not appetizing at all. This doesn't even address the hard to read directions in the few recipes that are included. I am a plain cook, not a chef that uses all those fancy recipes, and I have no way to find out how to cook just plain food. There are other websites but the directions don't apply to this machine. A lot of money for grief!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Piece of junk
We used this thing one time and could not use it again. We followed instructions fully and pressed all the buttons to start but LID light kept coming on. We made sure lid was on correctly but to no avail. Will never use again, a piece of junk, will set it out for yard sale or take to the dump.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I got this product with high expectations of enjoying all the features. Short after opening the box, I got very disappointed to find out that the air fryer accessories are not included and not mentioned in the box.
I feel cheated to buy a product that needs accessories to make it work as intended.
Shame on Mr. Lassage and his business.
I will not but his product again.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Huge disappointment
Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. We used it to make chicken legs one night in the air fryer. Ok. Then used to make turkey legs. Unit quit before the timer was off and wouldn't turn back on. Waited an hour to see if it was ever heated. Nothing. Will attempt to take back to Sam's where I bought it. I'll let you know. She wants to try another one. We shall see.
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Unsatisfied with customer service return
Ordered the pressure cooker/air fryer. Very unhappy with the way it was advertised. It did not meet the expectations of its advertisement. Should not have to be responsible for return shipping on a product that did not meet the product advertisement. Customer service not willing to work with me in order to cover the cost to send back, very disappointed!
Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend
This product does exactly what it says. Instructions are easy to understand. This is a lifesaver, truly healthy eating. I just got mine yesterday! No odors in the house. No smoke in the house and it looks great!
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thanks to Steve for sending me a bunch of recordings from previous tours that he and his friend taped, along with this one he recorded from the Tension tour! This is a very good recording, taped from the rear of the arena (recorded video from the show as well). Taper also ran a second DR-2D with just the internals and he prefers that recording. Stating that the sonic source is rather, "bright." But I will let you be the judge. A quality tape!

Taper from the first source, also recorded from a second Tascam recorder. He prefers this one over the sonic source. I think this is also a great recording. I am alaways amazed on how well the internal mics on these newer recorders fare on taping concerts. The sound is very good. Big thanks to Steve for taping and sharing these recordings with the archive!

Transitions lenses are the #1 eyecare professional-recommended photochromic lenses worldwide. Transitions® lenses are equipped with patented, photochromic dyes that enable the lenses to rapidly activate, or darken, when they are exposed to the sun's ultraviolet light. The greater the intensity of UV rays, the darker the lenses become. When UV light is no longer present, including indoors or at night, the lenses fade back to their original state.
To meet the diverse needs of our consumers, we have different lens options, which include our family of everyday lenses which are lenses that can be worn indoors and outdoors all day long: Transitions lenses, Transitions® XTRActive® lenses, and Transitions® Vantage™ lenses.
We also offer the Transitions® line of adaptive sunwear which include both adaptive sunglasses that go from dark to darker depending on how much sunlight is present and helmet shields that go from clear to dark when exposed to UV light
To meet the diverse needs of our consumers, we have different lens options, which include our family of everyday lenses which are lenses that can be worn indoors and outdoors all day long: Transitions lenses, Transitions® XTRActive™® lenses, and Transitions® Vantage™ lenses.
We also offer the Transitions® line of adaptive sunwear which include both adaptive sunglasses that go from dark to darker depending on how much sunlight is present and helmet shields that go from clear to dark when exposed to UV light. And we partner with some of the leading sunglass and sports brands including Bell, Callaway, Nike and Oakley.
Transitions lenses are widely available and are offered at nearly all optical retailers, eye doctors, eyecare professional practices and vision centers. To find a location in your area that carries Transitions lenses, please visit http://transitions.co.in/where-to-buy
Transitions Optical works with multiple lab and lens manufacturing partners to offer the widest availability of Transitions lenses. Individual practices and retail outlets determine the price of finished lenses-including applicable promotions or discounts- so prices may vary.
Transitions® Optical's photochromic lens technology is continuously improving. Transitions lenses are not the same as they were ten, five or even three years ago. Transitions® lenses are darker than ever before, fade back to clear quicker than our previous lens generations and adapt quicker in more extreme temperatures.
We now offer more products for more needs than ever before. In addition to Transitions lenses we have Transitions® XTRActive® lenses, which are our darkest everyday lenses ever. And our leadership in photochromic innovation has been further strengthend with the launch of the revolutionary Transitions® Vantage lenses, lenses that are virtually clear indoors and darken and polarize in bright, outdoor light. We've also introduced a line of Transitions® performance sunwear which are adaptive lenses that go from dark to darker depending on how much sunlight is present.
No, you do not need to worry. The technology behind our photochromic process ensures that the photochromic dyes are part of the lens and cannot be scratched off or peeled off and are designed to last for the life of your prescription. If you experience a problem with your lenses, we suggest you contact your eyecare professional or place of purchase.
Original Transitions lenses are completely clear indoors.
Transitions everyday lenses get as dark as ordinary sunglasses.
Photochromic lenses react to their environment so the level of darkness is affected by extreme temperatures, UV exposure and lens materials.
Transitions lenses darken immediately upon exposure to UV light. The level of darkness will depend the amount of UV light present, time of day and direction of the sun.
Transitions lenses begin to fade back to clear as soon as UV rays are no longer present.
Transitions lenses are designed to last the lifetime of a prescription. In order to keep your prescription lenses current, regular, comprehensive eye exams are recommended to determine any prescription changes and help prevent any other eye problems. Talk to your eyecare professional or eye doctor to find out how often you should schedule a visit to preserve your eye health.
Most photochromic lenses react primarily to UV light. That's why they change when you're in the sun and remain clear indoors. The glass in car windshields blocks more than 99% of UV light, so most photochromic lenses do not darken noticeably in the car.
We offer an everyday lens solution. Transitions® XTRActive® lenses contain a specially designed photochromic dye that responds to both UV light and short wavelength visible light, so they are able to moderately adapt in the car.
Original Transitions lenses darken when exposed to UV light. As UV from sunlight is typically not present indoors, the lenses will be clear.
All of us go through different light conditions through the various part of the day. Hence we need a lens which offers Complete Vision Correction. Complete Vision correction is about correcting both the eye and Light.Unlike clear lenses, which only corrects the eye, Transitions lenses automatically adapt to changing light, providing your eyes with exactly the amount of shade they need for any situation, so you see things in the best light. This helps you experience visuals as natural as possible. They also help protect your eyes from UV rays, and reduce squinting and eye fatigue. Because of the above, your overall efficiency to perform at your work increases.
Unlike sunglasses, Transitions lenses start as clear lenses and then automatically darken when exposed to UV light. They continuously and smoothly adapt their level of tint for enhanced visual comfort in changing lighting conditions, then return to clear in situations where no UV light is present such as indoors and at night. Whereas sunglasses have a set tint - no matter what situation you're in they're always the same shade and they're rarely a good option indoors.
Transitions lenses are an ideal everyday lens for most everyday situations. Sometimes there are situations in which sunglasses or polarized sunglasses are the best option, like driving and when out on the water.
Transitions everyday lenses are generally ordered for prescription lenses, but they can also be made without prescriptions.
Transitions everyday lenses are designed to be worn all day everyday and they provide a comfortable level of shade in bright sun. However, there are times when you could benefit from sunglasses.
If you're looking for more than what an ordinary lens can offer, Transitions lenses are right for you.
Transitions lenses offer Complete Vision Correction .Complete Vision correction is about correcting the Eye and Light. Unlike clear lenses which don't adapt to Changing light conditions, Transitions lenses adapt to various light conditions helping you to experience everything as natural as possible. Because of the natural visual experience, it reduces the strain on your eyes. Transitions also block 100% of UVA/UVB light.
Transitions Optical works with multiple lab and lens manufacturing partners to offer the widest availability of photochromic lenses on the market today.
Today's advanced Transitions lenses are available across all major lens materials (including polycarbonate and high-index materials you may hear your eyecare professional reference, which make lenses thinner and lighter) and designs (single vision, for prescriptions correct for distance vision or for near vision, bifocals and progressives, which account for distance and near vision in the same lens. You may know them as "no-line" bifocals), and in most prescriptions – from the lightest to the strongest. Ask your eyecare professional for more information.
Yes, Transitions lenses work in virtually any frame and material- plastic, metal, rimless, semi-rimless or full frames.
Yes. Transitions lenses are compatible with anti-scratch and anti-fog coatings. And not only are they compatible with anti-reflective coatings (which reduce reflections off the lenses), but when combined Transitions lenses are even better in reducing distracting, discomforting and disabling glare, both indoors and out.
Check with your eyecare professional or eye doctor to see which eyewear and lens options are right for you.
Yes, Transitions lenses are a great option for children.
Did you know that the average child receives three times the UV exposure as an adult? Because children are constantly going from inside to outside and because the crystalline lens is not fully developed allowing for more light to enter the eye, a lens that blocks 100% of UV rays is important to preserving their eye health now and in future years.
Additionally, Transitions lenses are available in polycarbonate material, which is shatterproof and frequently recommended by eyecare professionals for children's lenses. For more information on your child's eye health and on family eye care, visit http://www.eyedidntknowthat.info/
Yes, original Transitions lenses can be made without a prescription (this is called a "plano" lens) to fit in nearly any eyeglass frame. Ask your eyecare professional for more details.
The price of Transitions lenses will vary because there are many factors that affect the price of the eyeglass lenses you purchase. The price is set by the retail store or eyecare professional's office where you make your purchase.
The final price takes into consideration the lens material, lens type (single-vision, bifocal, or progressive), your prescription and any coatings you opt to add, as well as any special promotions or discounts that are offered.
Finally, be sure to ask your eyecare professional for authentic Transitions brand lenses and request the certificate of authenticity when you pick up your new glasses.
Please insist on the Be Sure Card from the retailer where you are buying the lens. The Be Sure card comes with an Authenticity Code . You can go online to www.beingsure.in and register yourself with the authenticity code using transitions as the password.
Please check with your eyecare professional or optical retailer to understand their warranty/guarantee policies on prescription eyeglasses. Transitions lenses may be included in the program.
Transitions lenses can be cleaned like most lenses – with a lens cleaner, mild soap or a microfiber lens cleaning cloth. Do not use window cleaner to clean your prescription eyeglasses, as it contains chemicals that could break down the coatings on your lenses. You should also be careful not to wipe your lenses with a surface that could potentially scratch your lenses, for instance, a facial tissue or paper towel.
Yes, all Transitions lenses block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays.
To better understand the effects of UV radiation on the eyes, it is helpful to know a little more about UV light. Visible light represents just a small portion of the light spectrum. On either side of the visible light spectrum are long-wavelength radiations (infrared) and short-wavelength radiations (UV). While infrared rays are relatively harmless, UV rays can pose serious risks to a person's overall health and eye health.
Sunlight consists of two types of harmful rays: UVA rays and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin – leading to signs of premature aging such as wrinkling or age spots. UVB rays are the sun's burning rays and are the primary cause of sunburn.
Excessive UV exposure is dangerous for eyes as well as your skin. It can lead to a number of serious, sight-stealing diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration down the road – making ongoing protection from UV rays a must.
Glare can be described as "extreme brightness" from the presence of excessive visible light. Glare can be distracting and even dangerous and can occur day or night in a number of ways. It can cause you to squint, resulting in eye strain and eye fatigue. In extreme cases, glare can even result in temporary blindness.
There are four types of glare to be aware of:
Distracting glareDistracting glare can be caused by car headlights or streetlights at night. It can also be as simple as light being reflected off the front of your lenses making it difficult for others to see your eyes. Similarly, it may be from light reflected off the back – or inside – of your lenses so that you see the distracting reflection of your own eyes of objects behind you in your forward field of vision. As a result, this kind of glare may cause eye fatigue, annoyance and distraction.
Discomforting glare Glare can be caused by everyday, normal sunlight conditions. Depending upon one's light sensitivity, this glare can be discomforting regardless of weather or time of day. It can be present in any level or intensity of light, or when moving from one lighting condition to another. Discomforting glare often causes squinting and eye fatigue.
Disabling glare This type of glare comes from excessive, intense light that can occur when you face directly into the sun. Disabling glare can block vision because the intense light can cause significantly reduced contrast of the retinal image. The latent effects can last well beyond the time of exposure.
Blinding or reflected glareThis comes from light reflected off smooth, shiny surfaces such as water, sand or snow. It can be strong enough to block vision. Reflected light is polarized and requires polarized lenses to reduce it optimally.
