![]() German Shepherds are commonly used for patrol purposes, but can also double as a scent detection dog. To top it off, these super-smart dogs have incredible strength, speed and agility, making German Shepherds one of the most popular breeds for police work. German Shepherds have a penchant for guardianship, with a strong willingness to put their lives on the line for their human counterparts. German Shepherd Dog (GSD)īy nature, German Shepherd Dogs are smart, courageous and confident. Here are the most common dog breeds that excel at law enforcement work. Police dogs are specifically bred to perform at high levels and excel at difficult tasks. Not every human is meant to be a police officer, and similarly, not every dog is meant to be a K9 police dog. Thanks to the athleticism of these working dogs and their incredible olfactory systems, SAR K-9s can cover large areas of land in a relatively short duration-a helpful tool when searching for missing. ![]() SAR dogs can also be utilized in non-disaster situations, such as if a child goes missing or a hiker gets lost in the wilderness. SAR dogs can be utilized after natural disasters strike-such as earthquakes, avalanches, or tornados-to find both alive and deceased victims. SAR dogs are trained to locate and help their handlers rescue missing persons. Both of these specialized K-9s are commonly utilized in searching buildings, security checkpoints, vehicles, pedestrians and packages. Explosive detection dogs (EDD) are trained to sniff out a variety of explosive materials. Narcotic detection dogs (NDD) are police K-9s trained to detect 5 basic narcotic odors: marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and MDMA. Police dogs are often tasked with sniffing out narcotics and bombs. Detection of Illegal Drugs and Explosives A police K-9 will bite a suspect’s arm or leg, holding him in place until the police officer can physically make the arrest. Police dogs are trained to apprehend bad guys with their mouths. ![]() A K9 may follow a scent trail that covers miles of land before ultimately locating the target. When dangerous criminals are on the run, police dogs are often used to help law enforcement officers find the suspects. K9 police dogs are phenomenal at sniffing out bad guys, thanks to their highly tuned noses. The most common K9 jobs are suspect tracking and apprehension, narcotic and explosive detection, and search and rescue (SAR). Police dogs can either be single-purpose, meaning the K9 has one specific job, or dual purpose, meaning the K9 is trained for multiple tasks. They undergo a lengthy training process in order to become experts at their jobs and ensure they can assist their human partners at an elite level. Police dogs are highly trained service dogs that assist law enforcement personnel in a variety of specialized tasks. What do police dogs do? What breeds make the best police dogs? How are K9s trained? Do they get paid for their service? In this ultimate guide to law enforcement dogs, we answer all your questions and more. There is a ton to know when it comes to police K9s.

![]() In just over a year, the price increase for some horns at Thomann, as a point of reference, is between (the equivalent of) $1200-3000. Well I kind of did the Drama Queen stunt there.I'll admit that.īut since I'm on the lookout for an upper-tier medium bore horn, new or used, I can't help but gawk at the increases I see in both used and new horns. Courtois MSRP for the original New Yorker horns was like 12k. Holy mother of cows how prices have gone insane! I don't buy brand-new horns so it's not relevant to me, but whatever they're doing is apparently broadly in line with industry norms.ġ.5-sized pieces work fine on my 613H, despite the insertion depth being slightly nonstandard. The concept of MSRP in general does seem strange it's not the price anyone is going to pay, it's not even a target price, it's. ![]() On another point I always had problems making a 1 and 1/2G work on the Yamaha basses but if they have, indeed, "fixed" the pipe on these I'd be curious to try one. MSRP seems like an old way to do business. Yes, understood, however I wouldn't pay 1 half of MSRP for a new Bach 50 these days. Specs also list a new, approximately Yeo-sized mouthpiece that's supposed to come with it. That's same ballpark as MSRP on a standard rotor valve Bach 50B3, so obviously not the actual music store price. Now the bigger question: is the YBL-835 leadpipe really a "new" leadpipe, or did they just machine off 3-4mm from the top of the receiver on the 613H/830 leadpipe. Though that's also true for the Duo Gravis design. They also could have just taken the leadpipe, which is two piece, and shortened it from the machined receiver end. They rarely seem to make a change without a good reason, and they made that pipe for the 613H, instead of using a pipe they already had. I've always wondered what the reasoning Yamaha had for the larger engagement. There's actually supposed to be a "step" in the receiver due to this. I think the Duo Gravis leadpipe was an attempt to have a more continuous taper from the throat of the mouthpiece through the leadpipe. Ask people who play Shires trombones how the lead pipes have changed since the very beginning, especially the bass pipes. My favorite 1 and 1/2G goes too far into the Yamaha basses. However many of todays mouthpieces have different shanks than what was available years ago. I was repeating what someone else said and why I put "fixed" in quotes. WGWTR180 wrote: ↑ Wed 6:55 amI didn't say something was wrong with the lead pipe. I didn't say something was wrong with the lead pipe. Other trombones, such as the King Duo Gravis, were designed with a leadpipe that had a longer shank engagement as well, but no one claims that pipe needs "fixing". I'm always curious as to why people think something is "wrong" with the leadpipe used on the 613H and 830.

The new bass model and all variations will come standard with a gold brass tuning slide. 500" bore slide model with the smaller 7.5" bell (897Z) that comes from the factory with a gold brass tuning slide. The 891ZD comes with a gold tint lacquered, yellow brass tuning slide. I got the impression that was standard, but perhaps it's an option? He's where I got the info that they come with gold brass tuning slides now. I was messaging with a newly minted Yamaha artist recently about a mouthpiece he was selling and saw he was playing an 891ZD. That's true - the pics on Yamaha's site and the others I looked at after reading your post, don't seem to reflect this. The ones pictured for Chuck Levin's and Thomanns both look to have yellow brass tuning slides. The 891ZD's pictures I have seen don't seem to show a gold brass tuning slide, but it is harder to tell even without colored lacquer. ![]() Yamaha uses Gold tinted lacquer currently, so it can be tough to tell. ![]() In-App Purchases: In addition to the subscription cost, there might be in-app purchases available, which could be an additional expense for parents or caregivers.Repetitiveness: Some users may find that certain games or activities become repetitive over time, leading to potential boredom.Device Compatibility: Depending on the user’s device and operating system, the app’s performance and features may vary.Age Appropriateness: Some users have mentioned that certain activities or lessons may not be as suitable for older children or those already advanced in their reading skills.This could be a drawback for budget-conscious users.

If you have 30 such images on your site, that’s a total of 45MB, which takes time to load. Although it is a relatively small image of 279×193, this short video weighs as much as 1.5MB. The following animated GIF of a bored person was uploaded to Cloudinary from Wikimedia. The end result is a full-color, high-quality animated images that weigh much less and are almost visually identical to the original animated GIF files.Ĭonversion from animated GIF to animated WebP In addition, we detail how we automatically deliver Animated WebP files only on supported browsers with graceful degradation to Animated GIFs otherwise. In this blog post we show how you can use Cloudinary’s cloud-based media management service to convert animated GIFs on-the-fly to a WebP Animation. For a single photo frame, JPEG is a much better format both in quality and file size, but JPEG does not support animation.Ī strong contender to replace the animated GIF is Google’s WebP format – with its new WebP animation support. It uses only 256 colors (with no semi-transparent alpha channel) and is better suited for drawings rather than photos or video frames. The GIF format was not meant to be used for full color video. Pages on photo sharing sites, blogs, or even news sites, can become very slow when the page includes even a few animated GIFs that often weigh more than all the images in the page combined. Playing them uses a lot of memory and CPU resources. While it’s a simple image format supported by all web browsers and smartphones, converting videos to animated GIFs creates very large files. The GIF format is far from optimal for this purpose. You now see short videos shared and played as animated GIFs in reputed sites such as Gawker and TechCrunch. Animated GIFs are everywhere, and not only on strange, cheesy web sites – they’ve become mainstream. But where animated GIFs are involved, it seems like the 90s are here again. The service offers high-quality and accurate document conversion capabilities that can help businesses streamline their document processing workflows and improve productivity.Fashion isn’t something you’d expect to repeat itself in the technology world – technology advances quickly and hardly ever circles back. With GroupDocs Cloud Conversion, developers can implement document conversion features in their applications to automate tasks such as converting documents for archival purposes, generating reports, extracting text and images from documents, and integrating document conversion capabilities into their workflow. The service supports conversion of GIF, documents, spreadsheets, presentations, images, WEBP, and other types of files, and provides advanced options such as setting conversion options, specifying output file formats, applying watermarks, and more. GroupDocs.Conversion Cloud provides Free Apps and REST APIs that can be integrated into web and mobile applications, allowing developers to easily incorporate document conversion functionality into their applications without having to install any software locally.

While the rules of FreeCell game allow moving only one card at a time you can actually move a sequence of arranged cards from one column to another. But again, choose the one to put there wisely. When one of the tableau columns becomes empty you can place any cards there (or many cards in the same way of alternating colors, descending sequence). A card moved to the Free Cell can later be moved in the same way - to the one of the Foundations of to the end of a tableau column. To the one of the Free Cells in the upper-left part of the board but choose a moment wisely because Free Cells are very valuable. To the end of another tableau column but only if it is of alternate color and forming a descending sequence (just like in Klondike), 3. To the Foundation if it fits into the ascending sequence of its suit, 2. So, once you have an ace available for moving you need to move it to the one of the Foundations to start building up.Īn exposed card at the end of each column is available for moving. You play free FreeCell game by building these four Foundations up in ascending sequence (one suit in each), starting from Aces to kings. ![]() There are four cells called Foundations in the upper-right part of the board. After shuffling, a tableau is set up of a total of 52 cards, placed into eight columns row by row, so at the end first four rows contain seven cards and the last four contain six cards each. But for you to be able to do this there must be no empty columns (you can move any card of sequence to fill an empty column).Ī little more difficult free online solitaire, FreeCell (or Free Cell Solitaire) is played with one standard 52-card deck (no Joker). If you find yourself out of constructive moves you can click on the stock in the lower-right corner and deal a new card to every column on the tableau. In case you already have some emptied columns on the tableau you can also move any exposed card or same-suit descending sequence there. That's why it's always better to form sequences of the same suit if possible. You can also move a packed descending sequence of the same suit (they are highlighted for your convenience) as a group. You can move an exposed card to another column in the tableau if the movement creates a new continuous descending sequence (regardless of suit, so it's similar with Spider Solitaite 2 Suit, 1 Suit and 4 Suit). When all 104 cards are removed (as separate King to Ace sequences), you win the game. If a whole sequence is formed in one of the columns it is removed from the tableau completely. Your goal when playing Spider solitaire free online is to build stacks of cards on the tableau forming descending suit sequences (from King to Ace). The remaining cards are placed in the stock at the lower right of the layout (face down). In each column, all of the cards are placed face down except for the last one which is upturned. ![]() After shuffling, a tableau is set up of a total of 54 cards, placed into ten columns. There's also Spider Solitaire 2 Suit where two suits (e.g. One Suit Spider solitaire - also 104 cards but only one suit (e.g. ![]() But you can play solitaire online two other ways. This is called 4 Suit Spider solitaire and it's the most challenging variation. One of the moderately difficult solitaire games, Spider is played with two standard 52-card decks (no Jokers). So the aim of the Klondike free solitaire game is to eventually take apart all the tableau piles (and empty the stock) by transferring all cards into four stacks (called foundations) in the upper right part, each of the one suit, starting with Aces and ending with Kings. Once you emptied one of the piles completely you can start or move a new pile (or single card) here, starting with a King card. You can move a single card, a part of any pile or a complete pile on top of any other pile, but according to this rule - alternate colors and downwards order. Contrary to that the tableau piles are built down by alternate colors. Foundations are built up by suit, starting from Ace, then Two, Three and up to King. Your goal in free Klondike solitaire is to build the four foundations (in the rectangles in the upper right part). ![]() The remaining cards are placed in the stock at the upper left of the layout (face down). In each pile, all of the cards are placed face down except for the last one which is upturned. From left to right, each column contains one more card, so the first one contains just one card, the second one - two cards and so on. After shuffling, a tableau is set up with seven columns of cards. You play this free Klondike Solitaire with a standard 52-card deck (no Jokers). Probably the favorite free online solitaire among players. ![]() Routine laboratory testing like complete blood count, urine toxicology, TSH, vitamin B12, folate levels are checked. ![]() Physical examination should be done as a part of the total workup to rule out any medical or neurological disorder. The health-care providers can efficiently use self-report scales for screening or management such as PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5), Trauma Symptom Checklist - 40 (TSC-40). On the mental status examination, the patient would likely mention poor sleep and concentration, frequent nightmares and flashbacks related to the event, guilt or negative emotions associated with the reminder, avoidance, and increased vigilance. After a detailed history is obtained, the next step is to have a thorough mental status examination, which helps confirm the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive aspects of PTSD. Posttraumatic stress disorder is a complex phenomenon, and it is necessary to evaluate for any co-existing psychiatric illness in the patient. The medial prefrontal cortex (inhibitory control over the emotional reactivity of amygdala) appears to be smaller and less responsive in patients with PTSD. The size of the hippocampus is reduced, and the amygdala(processing emotions and modulating fear response) is overly reactive in individuals with PTSD. Īlso, PTSD is associated with the change in the neurophysiology and anatomy of the brain. Plasma neuropeptide Y concentration is also reduced. Serotonin concentration is also decreased in dorsal/median raphe, which likely changes the dynamic between the amygdala and the hippocampus. There is a decrease in GABA activity and an increase in the glutamate, which fosters dissociation and derealization. Also, some studies have shown altered functioning of other neurotransmitter systems such as GABA, glutamate, serotonin, neuropeptide Y, and other endogenous opioids in patients with PTSD. CRF stimulates the release of norepinephrine by the anterior cingulate cortex, which leads to an increased sympathetic response, which manifests as increased heart rate, blood pressure, increased arousal, and startle response. Individuals with PTSD have shown to have normal to low levels of cortisol and elevated levels of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) despite their ongoing stress. The pathophysiology of posttraumatic stress disorder involves alterations in the neurotransmitter and neurohormonal functioning. For a patient to be diagnosed as PTSD, the duration of the symptoms must be more than one month. ![]() However, the symptoms of PTSD overlap with acute stress disorder. There is a significant impairment in social, occupational, and other areas of functioning. Furthermore, problems with sleep and concentration, irritability, increased reactivity, increased startle response, hypervigilance, avoidance of traumatic triggers also occur. The symptoms of PTSD include persistently re-experiencing the traumatic event, intrusive thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, dissociation(detachment from oneself or reality), and intense negative emotional (sadness, guilt) and physiological reaction on being exposed to the traumatic reminder. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM-5) has included PTSD in the new category of Trauma- and Stress-related Disorders. Following the traumatic event, PTSD is common and is one of the serious health concerns that is associated with comorbidity, functional impairment, and increased mortality with suicidal ideations and attempts. Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a syndrome that results from exposure to real or threatened death, serious injury, or sexual assault. ![]() If someone loses a signed off title, or someone steals your signed off title, getting a replacement is a pain. Future tip - on the bigger purchases in life, make sure to get that thing put into your name, just in case something like this comes up. If you are in the second scenario, just know that you can get the replacement, but it's more complicated. I'll hope you are in the first scenario, as it is much much easier to get a replacement title for something in your name.

Let them know that you have moved to CA and see if there is any process to 'expedite' the title since you now live out of state and need the title for title and registration purposes in your new state. You said you lost the title.did submit your purchase paperwork and pay to get the title in your name in 2015? If so, just call NY DMV (518) 473-5595 and ask them how to get a replacement title.

Thus, making marijuana more readily available through legal channels for those over 21 shouldn't impact those under 18. I'm surprised, but then not that there is little thought about the fact that the 17-12 year-old group can't purchase legal marijuana in the first place.
