Asics gel venture 7 mens 8012/13/2023 ![]() Brooks is known for its quality running shoes, and Ghosts are no exception. a podiatrist based in Southampton, New York. When you’re dealing with all of the responsibilities of being a nurse, you want a shoe that can withstand the rigors of a marathon, says Karen Langone, D.P.M. It’s even one of our picks for the best Hoka shoes for walking.īlack, gray, purple, coral, blue, multicolor Prevention’s senior commerce editor recently put this sneaker to the test, confirming that it’s incredibly supportive. This is perfect for someone with higher arches that needs shock absorption.” “This particular model of Hoka shoes is a neutral shoe with plush cushioning. “This is a great shoe for those on their feet long hours, especially those on hard surfaces,” says Anne Sharkey, D.P.M., a podiatrist with the North Austin Foot and Ankle Institute in Texas. I highly recommend these shoes, the Bondi in particular, if you are on your feet all day,” she adds. “There is no other shoe on the market with this much cushion AND stability AND durability. “These are the best shoes on the market,” writes one reviewer who is a nurse and has dealt with plantar fasciitis for years. Plus, the supremely soft but supportive EVA midsoles mean they’re a good fit for anyone with plantar fasciitis. But they’re especially great for people who don’t want a pair of shoes that they’ll only wear to work, since these durable kicks are also designed for running, walking, or just heading to the grocery store after a shift. This is especially important for people who have jobs that force them to be on their feet all day like nurses, retail, hospitality, etc.”īlue, white, black, orange, gray, and moreĪs some of the most cushioned shoes available anywhere, Hoka’s Bondi sneakers are already ideal for nurses. “The longer you are on your feet with bad or uncomfortable shoes, the worse those problems can become. “Not wearing the right shoes can cause many issues aside from foot discomfort, including pain in the hips, knees, and back, so it’s important to have a good stable pair of shoes that put your body in the correct equilibrium,” explains Asim Sayed, D.P.M., A.A.C.F.A.S. a podiatrist based in Southampton, New York Asim Sayed, D.P.M., A.A.C.F.A.S., a podiatrist based in Kansas City, MO Anne Sharkey, D.P.M., a podiatrist with the North Austin Foot and Ankle Institute in Texas. Meet the Experts: Howard Friedman, D.P.M., a Suffern, New York-based podiatrist Karen Langone, D.P.M. That’s where the best shoes for nurses-or for anyone who stands for long periods of time-come to the rescue. ![]() So if you’re consistently wearing unsupportive shoes, you could develop achy arches, exacerbate plantar fasciitis, joint pain, and other uncomfortable foot-related issues. ![]() After all, being on your feet all day puts your lower extremities under a lot of stress. I am really frustrated.When your profession involves anything from running alongside a gurney to standing for hours in the ER or operating room, the right shoes are a must. I hope that Asics will return to the same quality and excellence that they used to produce. Unless these were fakes or knock off shoes that I got. I cannot understand why Asics would lower their standards and put such crap out on the market. I have had no less than 8 pairs of Venture 6's in the past. The package was lighter in weight than it should have been. I knew as soon as I picked them up off the front porch. The shoes were also an inferior quality and not the same style. ![]() I had previously checked and they were not available in my size. She found the Gel Venture 6 on Amazon for me. I called Zappos and the sales rep was very helpful. Why do they have to stop making a quality shoe and replace it with an inferior model lacking the same quality. The shoe felt cheaply made and did not have the support of the former 6. Had to take them off because of plantar fasciitis type pain in both feet. I have been wearing Asics Venture Gel 6's for 4 years.

Windows 10 bulk resize photos12/13/2023 ![]() Although it is commonly used for image resizing, users can also add various effects to their images using this tool and files can also be converted to other formats with ease. This simple and basic editing tool has few valuable features to offer. It can also be used for fine-tuning of image colors, but the only drawback is that the interface is not much user-friendly. Choose batch actions and hit the start batch option to initiate selected editing task. In order to resize your batch files, simply go to the file, choose “Batch Conversion/Rename”, drag images from top part of the window to the input area. It allows users to edit, rename, resize, convert and adjust several images together. IrfanView is an excellent image editor with lots of impressive features. Supported Formats: BMP, JPG, GIF, TIFF, MP3, MOV, AVI, and many more. Top 15 Batch Image Resizers for Window/Mac/Linux: Below we have highlighted 15 most popular freeware tools that can help you to reduce the size of images on Windows, Mac OS, and Linux platform. There are so many apps that can offer you the ability to resize multiple images at a time as well so they can help you to save much of your time. In order to do this, you have to use right tools to initiate conversion so that images can be easily restored in another file format. The great news is that you can even reduce a 10MB file to a 1MB file without facing a noticeable loss of quality. You can do it easily by simply converting them to other size efficient formats before uploading or emailing them. The best idea to deal with this heavy image size trouble is to find ways to lower down the image resolution. You may also waste lots of bandwidth and time to upload these photos to online libraries. It is not possible to share such heavy images on other devices. They produce crystal clear images but the image size also goes as high as up to tens of megabytes. Most of the digital cameras these days are designed to offer very high picture resolution.

Kathoey close up12/13/2023 ![]() ![]() She has a small army of fans, many of whom are other trans people, that follows her from fight to fight. In her years of fighting, Rose has become something of a local celebrity. She went over the top rope like a man, not under the bottom rope as her biologically female counterparts would. News channels where there to film as she, a trans fighter in full makeup and wearing a feminine top, jumped into the ring. Even certain stadia in Bangkok, like Omnoi Stadium, allow her the freedom of personal expression. When fighting in her home region of Isaan, the northeastern area of Thailand known for producing the majority of Thai boxers, she can wear what she likes. Outside those venues, however, finding events with a more relaxed dress code is not difficult. This attitude has affected her career-she's turned down matches at Lumpinee, Rajadamnern, and Channel 7, all major Bangkok stadia where contenders must fight shirtless and with short hair. Though still biologically male, Rose refuses to fight shirtless. A few years ago, she took to wearing tops to all her fights. Rose had been struck by how femininely Bubae had walked and presented herself before the fight, though all that was stripped away once the bell rang.ĭespite her male build and relatively short hair, Rose is easy to spot at the gym-her clothing sets her apart. Two years ago, she faced a trans fighter named Bubae in an event in a military camp in Khorat. It's a small circuit, though, and sometimes their paths cross in the ring. Trans fighters like Rose are rare she herself knows of only three or four other active trans fighters. The pills and their desired feminine effects would have to wait. She quietly stopped making trips to the pharmacy. Her coaches found her high-level matches in Bangkok. She moved up weight classes, where both she and her opponents were approaching their full adult musculature. Her fights became more frequent and for higher stakes. She was able to keep taking hormones and fighting, so long as she stopped the pills a week before a fight.Įventually she gave up the hormones entirely. At only 14 or 15 years old, Rose was still in a relatively light-weight class. She kept her coaches in the dark about her use of hormones. "I am so embarrassed when they talk about me like that," she says. Rose has heard announcers engage the roaring crowd during her fights, laughing about her or her motivations in clinching. Sometimes it's not the opponent who makes disrespectful comments. Rose tries to ignore the comments and unwanted kisses, psychological tactics that make her shy, embarrassed, and angry. But sexualized comments in the clinch are a burden very few fighters report enduring. Verbal communication between fighters is not uncommon in a Muay Thai fight-one fighter may quietly concede to the other when it's clear a loss on points is inevitable. "When we're in the clinch, they'll ask me if I like it, say how close we are and that we've been clinching a long time." It gets worse when they start talking to her. The mid-clinch kisses make her uncomfortable. She's been kissed on the cheek during clinching, or when touching gloves at the start of the fight. ![]() Reactions from her opponents are also all over the board.

Swift publisher deal12/13/2023 “There is a pooling model for a segment of our partners and generally it’s partners who are slightly smaller scale,” he said. “We’re thrilled by this exciting opportunity to bring our authors’ works – and voices – to Spotify’s 220 million paid subscribers,” the statement read.ĭavid Kaefer, vice-president of business affairs at Spotify, told the Bookseller earlier this week that each publisher had agreed to a slightly different contract. “We are excited by the possibility of Spotify opening up new audiences for audiobooks.”Īccording to Penguin Random House’s global website, the UK’s biggest publishing house is “excited” to have its titles included in Spotify’s catalogue, and it describes the 15 hours per month model as comparable to token models on existing services such as Audible, where members receive one credit for an audiobook. ![]() “Of course we have carefully reviewed our contracts, only making titles available to Spotify where we are cleared for distribution as streamed audiobooks,” a representative from the publisher said. Pan Macmillan said it is “always interested in opportunities to sell more of our licensed audio product”. We use Google reCaptcha to protect our website and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply. For more information see our Privacy Policy. Privacy Notice: Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties. In addition to seeking author and agent approval of these deals, the SoA is calling for publishers to provide a number of protections for authors, including negotiating “an appropriate share of the receipts on a clear and equitable payment model” and ensuring “that licences include safeguards to prevent pirating of authors’ and narrators’ works and voices including for use in AI systems”. “We urgently need the publishers involved to have the conversations with authors and agents now which they should have had before these deals were made.” What will it mean for longer term earnings? What protections are publishers putting in place against piracy and unrestrained uses?” “How can we ensure that such deals do not compete with sales and that authors are fully remunerated. “How will earnings from these streaming deals be calculated?” she went on to ask. So why have authors and agents not been consulted?” The SoA’s chief executive Nicola Solomon said that “the fact that all main publishers have signed similar deals with Spotify indicates that this has been in discussion for some time. Earlier this year a parliamentary report called for the UK government to streamline its policymaking in creative industries, in order to make the industry fairer for British musicians. For years, musicians have been complaining that they are unable to make a living via digital music royalties because of reported low levels of remuneration from streaming platforms. “We do not want to follow the disastrous path the music industry went down,” he added. “We will look closely at the deals being offered by the publishers to make sure the royalty offered is subject to purchases of each audiobook and not how long someone may or may not listen to it.” “That is certainly unusual as audio rights are an important and growing part of an author’s work and income,” he said. Literary agent Jonny Geller confirmed that he and his colleagues at the agency Curtis Brown were not approached before the Spotify deal was concluded. It’s impossible to understand what the benefit is supposed to be for authors.” Author and historian Greg Jenner tweeted that he only learned about the Spotify deal “when a friend found both of our audiobooks on Spotify, and we had no idea”. Her agent, Imogen Pelham, added: “The key issue is the total obscurity of the deal. ![]() Yara Rodrigues Fowler, named earlier this year as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists, said that she “wasn’t consulted at all” before the audiobook of her debut novel Stubborn Archivist appeared on the streaming app.

Age of cast of euphoria12/12/2023 ![]() Let's recap Eurphoria's basic premise before speculating on season 3's plot. Spoilers for Euphoria seasons 1 and 2 follow. But, again, that would be something for her and Sam to discuss.” Euphoria season 3 story The only definite involvement so far is Zendaya, whose return was confirmed when HBO executive and Euphoria producer Casey Bloys said, when asked asked the possibility of a Euphoria without her, “she’s going to be in season 3.”īloys did concede that HBO has considered the possibility of Zendaya departing the series, but he stopped short of saying it would mean the end of Euphoria, adding: “It’s hard to imagine doing the show without her. One person who definitely won't be coming back is Barbie Ferreira, who has confirmed that her character, Kat Hernandez, won't be a part of season 3. We expect to see most of the show's key cast – including Zendaya, Sydney Sweeney, Hunter Schafer, Maude Apatow, Angus Cloud, Eric Dane, Alexa Demie, Jacob Elordi, Storm Reid and Dominic Fike – return for Euphoria season 3, but not all of the above have been set in stone as yet. Zendaya as Chani in Dune (Image credit: Warner Bros.) Euphoria season 3 cast Zendaya, for instance, is booked to play a significant role in the Dune sequel (as well as star in Luca Guadagnino's new drama, Challengers), while Hunter Schafer is currently filming The Hunger Games prequel, The Ballad of Snakes and Songbirds. The only barrier to its development, in our minds, will be the respective schedules of show's increasingly-in-demand cast members. Now, though – with real momentum from the show’s second season behind them – we expect Levinson to have HBO’s backing to get things moving quickly on Euphoria season 3. The other documents a long conversation between Schafer's Jules and her therapist. One is set entirely in a single location, with Rue unloading on Colman Domingo’s Ali, her sponsor, as she tries to recover from addiction. If you’ve watched these placeholder episodes, you can feel Covid’s influence in every frame. After a successful first season, Euphoria was confirmed for a second run in mid-2019, but endless Covid delays meant two ‘bridge’ episodes ended up being put in place. It took a lot longer than producers and HBO had planned for the show’s second season to make it to air. Our best guess for when new episodes might release is late 2023, but in any case, we don't expect the gap between seasons 2 and 3 to be the same as that between 1 and 2. ![]() As above, no release date has been set for Euphoria season 3 as yet, though we do know for sure that it's on the way after HBO confirmed the series' renewal in February 2022.

Wooden side tables living room12/12/2023 chunky wooden side tables like La Salle work with French Provincial decor. No! Modern design focuses more on items relating to one another, not necessarily matching but with some common elements based around: Side tables aren’t necessary, but a side table set with storage drawers or bedside tables like Argento or Hadley is a great way to provide handy hidden storage space if you need. But if your lounge suite configuration means that some seats can’t easily reach the coffee table, you may need a small side table as well. For example, if you have a corner lounge and no single chairs, a central coffee table may be all you need. That depends on your living room size, shape, furniture design and placement. They help to create balance, cohesiveness and provide another place to put stuff like… lamps! Side tables and lamp tables add another dimension to your interior design. When is a side table a lamp table? When you place a table lamp on it!
