6/11/2023 0 Comments Taurine foods![]() The length of time that your dog will need taurine supplementation will depend on the severity of the deficiency and your dog's ability to maintain levels of taurine as it is ingested. Taurine supplementation is the treatment of choice for dogs suffering from taurine deficiency. However, if present in any dog, it may indicate amino acid malabsorption, which can potentially be causing taurine deficiency. If cysteine stones/ crystals are found in the urinalysis, it is likely your dog has an issue metabolizing amino acids.Ĭystinuria is more common in certain breeds, such as the following: Likewise, blood-taurine concentrations should be evaluated if retinal damage (problems with your dog’s eyes) is found during a physical exam by your veterinarian. If heart disease is suspected based on physical exam and/or blood work (e.g., low blood taurine), then chest X-rays, electrocardiogram (ECG), and other diagnostic measures would be recommended in order to evaluate and diagnose the severity of the disease. Taurine deficiency may be suspected if heart disease, retinal disease, and/or cystinuria are identified via the physical exam and/or initial laboratory results. Taurine is distributed throughout the body with high concentration in certain tissues, including the heart, the retina of the eye, and the brain. What Health Issues Are Caused by Taurine Deficiency in Dogs? There are “normal” ranges for blood-taurine concentrations in dogs, so if the measured concentration is lower than that range, taurine deficiency is probable. Then, your veterinarian would conduct a complete physical examination of your dog and do routine blood work, including:īlood concentrations of taurine can be measured by a laboratory to determine whether deficiency is likely. Veterinarians would first need a thorough history of your dog's health, including a list of symptoms and the diet fed. However, the question remains whether the DCM occurs due to an overall lack of taurine in the dog food or other dietary factors that cause problems with taurine digestion, absorption, metabolism, and/or excretion. While research is ongoing, there are theories that the onset of DCM is related to the diet, specifically, grain-free diets. Recently, studies have found a connection between DCM and these breeds of dogs: This is true for cats, and may now also be true for dogs. ![]() Taurine deficiency is one cause of a heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), where the heart muscle thins and the chambers become enlarged. Taurine Deficiency and Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Dogs The extent to which dogs may require dietary taurine is still under investigation and may be breed dependent. To date, however, there are no stated requirements for supplementing dog food with taurine. ![]() Since taurine is known to be ‘essential’ for cats, cat food must have taurine supplemented in quantities established by the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) and the National Research Council (NRC). Here’s what you need to know about the amount of taurine in dog food, the risk of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) from taurine deficiency, and whether you should consider taurine supplements for dogs. ![]() Taurine is known to be a dietary requirement for cats and may be for some dog breeds as well. The other 10 amino acids are “essential,” meaning they must be supplied by the diet. In dogs, 12 of these amino acids are “nonessential,” meaning the body can make them on its own. There are 22 amino acids that are needed for proper functioning of the body.

Before that filtration process of script readers, referrals, and contests/competitions/fellowships, reading loglines is the fastest way for them to tell if your script has a concept, character, and story that they want to pursue.Īnd loglines help you to communicate what you're trying to sell without going off on tangents and overly-long explanations. Hollywood uses a filtration process to weed through the hundreds upon hundreds of screenplays within the market. They need to make decisions quickly because there are so many screenplays that they need to get to during their day-to-day schedule. Industry insiders don't have time to read a synopsis or treatment. It merely allows you to identify the inciting incident/major conflict, the protagonist(s), the goal they have within the story, and the main stakes.Īfter that, it's about tweaking the verbiage and structure to make it short, sweet, to the point, and leaving the reader wanting more. However, this isn't a simple fill in the blank process. This, along with other variances, is the basic logline formula that can help get you started. When a killer shark unleashes chaos on a beach community, a local sheriff, a marine biologist, and an old seafarer must hunt the beast down before it kills again. To get a feel for how a logline should read, start with a basic structure. Supporting characters, B stories, C stories, twists, turns, and reveals? Save all of that for the pitch and the script itself. If you let go of the false notion that you have to tell your whole story in one or two sentences, you'll ignore the need to include elements that aren't central to the core concept of the story you are trying to tell. Those are the elements that comprise the concept of a story. When industry insiders read a logline, they need to be presented with: It's the first contact Hollywood will have with you and your screenplay. It's what you, managers, agents, development executives, and producers will initially use to get your script considered, pitched, purchased, developed, packaged, financed, produced, and distributed. It's what gets you into the conversation. It's the first selling point of your screenplay. You're presenting the core concept of your script. Nothing could be further from the truth - and that is the first logline lesson that screenwriters need to learn. And many perceive them as being "evil" because they feel that the industry is asking them to condense their one hundred page script (give or take) to 25-50 words. Loglines are a necessary evil in Hollywood. Here we step away from in-depth directives, theory, and rules to offer simple guidelines that you can apply to your process to help you write the most effective logline for your screenplay. But much like screenwriting, there’s no secret formula to success. Writing a compelling and engaging logline is an art form unto itself. What are some simple guidelines screenwriters can follow to write effective loglines? ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Notorious duran duran![]() "A Matter of Feeling" was released in January 1988 as a promotional single in Brazil. In the US, the single was released under the title "The Presidential Suite". It was their first single to be released on CD (catalogue number CD TOUR 1), which featured all the tracks from the 12-inch vinyl single. " Meet El Presidente", released to coincide with the tour in April 1987, reached No. These were initially released on a US-only promotional 12-inch single with mixes of "Meet El Presidente" on the flip-side. To commemorate the band's 1987 Strange Behaviour Tour, several promotional-only remixes were commissioned for "Skin Trade", including the "Parisian Mix" and the "S.O.S. In the UK and US, the single was released in a plain pink/red sleeve, though the original sleeve was released in Canada and France. The sleeve to the "Skin Trade" single was banned in several countries, as it featured an airbrushed naked female buttock. Bassist John Taylor has since been quoted as saying that his disillusion with the charts began when "Skin Trade" failed to reach the UK top 20. "Skin Trade" was a Bowie-flavoured track notable for Le Bon singing in a Prince-like falsetto, as well as featuring the Borneo Horns quite heavily. It was the first Duran Duran single to be released with a second remix 12-inch single, led off by a remix by The Latin Rascals. The album's lead single " Notorious" was a commercial success, reaching number two in the United States and number seven in the United Kingdom. In addition to the album and lead single named for the film Notorious (1946), there was also Vertigo (1958) and Rope (1948), the original title for "Hold Me". This is due to having a number of tracks titled after Hitchcock movies. In years to come, the band would refer to Notorious as their Alfred Hitchcock-inspired album. The remaining three members continued as a trio, recruiting Missing Persons guitarist Warren Cuccurullo and drummer Steve Ferrone to play on the album. ![]() ![]() Drummer Roger Taylor was too exhausted to continue in the music business, and guitarist Andy Taylor soon also left the band after taking part in some early recording sessions for the album. When they reconvened in 1986 to record a new studio album with Nile Rodgers the band faced several problems and conflicts. The box set also includes remixes, live tracks and the Working for the Skin Trade live video (for the first time on DVD).Īfter their extensive 1984 world tour Duran Duran took a break and eventually split into two different side projects, Arcadia and the Power Station. In 2010, EMI released a raft of material surrounding the Notorious reissue consisting of a two-disc set, a deluxe three-disc set, a digital only EP and a digital only live album. Produced by the band with Nile Rodgers, the album showcased a new 'funk-pop' musical direction for the band, emphasizing bass and brass, as exemplified by the singles " Notorious" and " Skin Trade". The album peaked at number 16 on the UK Albums Chart and at number 12 on the US Billboard 200. Notorious is the fourth studio album by English new wave band Duran Duran, released on 21 November 1986 by EMI Records. ![]() 6/11/2023 0 Comments Best crosshairs overwatch![]() ![]() Most of my issues actually comes with the outlines of overwatch.

Human Rights Watch criticized the warning, saying it revealed “a mindset that views human rights with disdain, and sees youthful defiance as the enemy.” “If it persists, then we will have to make an arrest,” he said. “But if it is a political gathering of five people or more, then we will have to take some action.” “If a single individual raises three fingers in the air, we are not going to arrest him or her,” he said. “We know it comes from the movie, and let’s say it represents resistance against the authorities,” Weerachon said, noting that if Thai authorities encounter the salute they will first ask protesters to stop. In the movie series and the book trilogy it is based on, the salute is a symbol of rebellion against totalitarian rule and stands for: Thank you, Admiration and Goodbye to someone you love. A photo montage circulating online paired a picture from the science fiction blockbuster “The Hunger Games” with a graphic of three fingers labeled, 1.
