![]() “Take me seriously,” the look screamed, which, apart from a few wispy remnants from the crazy 1980s, was all about a short, blocky vibe to match the year’s power shoulders and collective angst. What do the success-fueled yuppies of Wall Street and anti-establishment ’90s indie kids have in common? Nearly nothing, save for their affinity for the blunt bob cut, which again strove to redefine how women were viewed, this time in the workplace. 1990s: The Blunt Bob Navy pinstripes and power bobs dominated the financially-frantic clime of the 1990s. This rough-around-the-edges haircut is surprisingly versatile and easy to maintain, leading to a mainstream following. Punk rock front-women and powerful musical icons sported a unisex version of the haircut bob-a shaggy mop that somewhat toyed with gender fluidity which, once again, flipped what was considered “feminine” on its head. Music, which had always played a big role in the female sexual revolution, again proved to be a big impetus for hairstyles in the 1980s. ![]() ![]() 1980s: The Shaggy Bob Cut Lighters up for gender neutrality!

Feathers, fascinators and silk headbands displayed the opulence of the times. We took quite fondly to the “Flapper” hairstyle, which features a below-the-ear bob cut styled with waxy finger waves held in place by bobby pins (hence the name, btw) and Rococo accessories. 1920s: The Flapper Cut Finger waves and a side part characterize the Flapper bob. To inspire you to try out bob hair, we are sharing an evolution of the bob cut, some of our favorite bob hairstyles and maintenance tips:Įvolution of the Bob Cut, Plus 30+ Looks to Love 1. These days, even after cementing its place as a classic, season-proof hairstyle for women, bob cuts still retain a certain audacity and self-assurance and lends this trait to the women who wear it. From Flappers to Hollywood stars to cultural icons (and presidential candidates!), the bob cut hairstyle has been the go-to look for independent, outspoken, forward-thinking women who had better things to do than let their hairstyle dictate their sexuality or femininity. What once was a sign of transgression back in the day-it was considered a bold sign of independence and modernity in the 1910s and 20s-that has evolved from being an act of rebellion to being one of the most popular haircuts in the world. Bob haircuts have quite an interesting hair history.

Other authors on the study are Yuyang Lei and Zu-Yi Yuan of Jiaotong University in Xi’an, China Cara R. The researchers next hope to take a closer look at the mechanism by which the disrupted ACE2 protein damages mitochondria and causes them to change shape. “Further studies with mutant spike proteins will also provide new insight towards the infectivity and severity of mutant SARS CoV-2 viruses.” “If you remove the replicating capabilities of the virus, it still has a major damaging effect on the vascular cells, simply by virtue of its ability to bind to this ACE2 receptor, the S protein receptor, now famous thanks to COVID,” Manor explains. Previous studies have shown a similar effect when cells were exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but this is the first study to show that the damage occurs when cells are exposed to the spike protein on its own. This binding disrupted ACE2’s molecular signaling to mitochondria (organelles that generate energy for cells), causing the mitochondria to become damaged and fragmented. They showed that the spike protein damaged the cells by binding ACE2. The team then replicated this process in the lab, exposing healthy endothelial cells (which line arteries) to the spike protein. Tissue samples showed inflammation in endothelial cells lining the pulmonary artery walls. Exposure to this pseudovirus resulted in damage to the lungs and arteries of an animal model-proving that the spike protein alone was enough to cause disease. ![]() In the new study, the researchers created a “pseudovirus” that was surrounded by SARS-CoV-2 classic crown of spike proteins, but did not contain any actual virus. Similarly, scientists studying other coronaviruses have long suspected that the spike protein contributed to damaging vascular endothelial cells, but this is the first time the process has been documented. There’s been a growing consensus that SARS-CoV-2 affects the vascular system, but exactly how it did so was not understood. While the findings themselves aren’t entirely a surprise, the paper provides clear confirmation and a detailed explanation of the mechanism through which the protein damages vascular cells for the first time. Salk researchers collaborated with scientists at the University of California San Diego on the paper, including co-first author Jiao Zhang and co-senior author John Shyy, among others. The commonality between them is that they all have vascular underpinnings.” “That could explain why some people have strokes, and why some people have issues in other parts of the body. “A lot of people think of it as a respiratory disease, but it’s really a vascular disease,” says Assistant Research Professor Uri Manor, who is co-senior author of the study. Representative images of vascular endothelial control cells (left) and cells treated with the SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein (right) show that the spike protein causes increased mitochondrial fragmentation in vascular cells. The findings help explain COVID-19’s wide variety of seemingly unconnected complications, and could open the door for new research into more effective therapies. The paper, published on April 30, 2021, in Circulation Research, also shows conclusively that COVID-19 is a vascular disease, demonstrating exactly how the SARS-CoV-2 virus damages and attacks the vascular system on a cellular level. Now, a major new study shows that the virus spike proteins (which behave very differently than those safely encoded by vaccines) also play a key role in the disease itself. LA JOLLA-Scientists have known for a while that SARS-CoV-2’s distinctive “spike” proteins help the virus infect its host by latching on to healthy cells. Salk researchers and collaborators show how the protein damages cells, confirming COVID-19 as a primarily vascular disease April 30, 2021 ApThe novel coronavirus’ spike protein plays additional key role in illness ![]() An independent contractor is a little less clear. The IRS assumes individuals working for an organization are employees unless it is proven otherwise. You probably already understand what an employee is. How do I determine who are Independent Contractors? ![]() The $600 also includes any parts or materials the contractor billed you for.

How do I know which contractors need to receive Form 1099 this year? Starting in 2020, the IRS now requires payments to independent contractors are shown on a new form 1099-NEC (non-employee compensation) instead of the 1099-MISC (miscellaneous). The 1099-Misc listed royalties, rents, and other miscellaneous items, but its most common use was for payments to independent contractors. In past years, if your organization paid a person for services who was NOT an employee, you may have needed to file a 1099-Misc for the total amount given over the year. Along with all the other changes we have dealt with in 2020, the IRS has also changed how organizations report the money paid to independent contractors, or as they prefer to label it, Non-employee Compensation. ![]() Alternatively, you can right-click to launch with ADE or simply drag and drop them into the program.Īdobe Digital Editions will begin downloading your eBooks to the device.

Ensure that your workers have all the space they need to carry out their work. If you don't have enough laminar flow hoods in your laboratory, or if the hoods you do have aren't big enough, the work areas inside the hoods can become cluttered with scientific equipment, such as beakers, pipettes and flasks. Therefore, it's very important to keep the work area tidy and free from clutter. If too many objects are placed in the work area, they disrupt air flow, preventing the hood from effectively circulating and cleaning the air. ![]() Laminar flow hoods only prevent contamination if you use them correctly. Vertical exhaust hoods reduce the risk of workers breathing in harmful vapors, helping to keep the laboratory a safe place to work. This air flows through gaps in the bottom and back of the cabinet and is circulated back to the filter, where particles are removed. ![]() In a vertical laminar flow hood, the HEPA filter is located above the bench and blows filtered air down onto the work area. Vertical laminar flow hoods are more costly than horizontal flow hoods, but they're essential when working with hazardous materials, such as radioactive substances or chemicals that produce toxic gases. Horizontal Laminar Flow Hoods Vertical Laminar Flow Hoods There are two main types of laminar flow hoods: horizontal flow and vertical flow. The filtered air is circulated around the unit under high pressure to keep dust away from the experimental area. Flow hoods contain a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter that removes 99.7 percent of particles as small as 0.3 microns from the air. What Is a Laminar Flow Hood?Ī laminar flow hood is a device that circulates and filters air inside a partially enclosed work area to protect both the workers and the samples they are working with from contamination. Educate yourself about the features of laminar flow hoods so you can choose the right equipment for your laboratory or cleanroom. Choosing the right type of laminar flow hood allows scientific researchers to work safely and effectively in the laboratory. HEPA Filter Services Inc will provide complete certification of Laminar Flow Hoods including a full certification report and certification sticker affixed to the cabinet.Īll Laminar Flow Hoods we certify are tested in accordance with IEST-RP-CC-002-3 standards.Laminar flow hoods are essential equipment when working with delicate or hazardous materials, such as biological cells or unstable chemicals. Back streaming tests to ensure that non filtered air is not getting into the sterile work zone.Air flow readings across the work plane to ensure laminar flow.Testing is performed when the Laminar Flow Hood is initially installed, annually and when the cabinet is relocated. Testing of these cabinets is performed in accordance with IEST-RP-CC-002-3. They are not to be confused with Biological Safety Cabinets in that they deliver air across the work area and out into the room. Laminar Flow Hoods provide a sterile working environment for product protection.

The Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest definitely has the most options available out off all the arrow rests we’ve reviewed. When all is said and done, we think that this is one of the better whisker biscuit arrow rests on the market today, and it is surely worth the investment. ![]() Finally, the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest is made with fairly hard and durable composite materials that can last for months, if not years to come. We also like how this rest comes with rubber boots, which helps cut down on noise when you are drawing the arrow. On the other hand, they are also soft enough so the fletching of your arrow can pass clean through the whiskers without meeting too much resistance or suffering from much deceleration due to friction. The Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest features fairly soft biscuits with rubber boots these whisker biscuits are hard enough to hold your arrow firmly in place, thus allowing for a clean and precise shot every time. The simple screw mounting system only requires a couple minutes to fully attach this arrow rest to your bow. With that being said, the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest is also very easy to mount on a bow. Simply reverse the convenient mounting system to make it ideal for left handed shooters. On that same note, this arrow rest has been designed for right- and left-handed use. The size which you buy is going to be determined by the type and size of arrow, plus the size of bow you are using. When it comes to the price, although this item in itself is not all that expensive, we do think that it is worth the extra few bucks when compared to cheaper models.įirst off, you can get the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest in a small, medium, or large size. Now, this is OK, as although this option does not really come with any additional features when compared to the TRUGLO, it does seem to be of a bit higher quality and function a little better too. To start things off, the Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit Arrow Rest is a bit more expensive than the previous option we just looked at, about 3 times more expensive in fact. The TRUGLO Recurve Arrow Rest is available in either camo or black. The TRUGLO Arrow Rest also comes with easy-to-use windage and elevation adjustment systems so you can aim with ease and always lock onto your target with minimal deviance. ![]() The technical rubber dampers are a big bonus. Moreover, the arrow rest itself, right where the arrow sits, is made with a special material to ensure minimal friction and minimal noise, both when drawing your arrow and when releasing. In other words, this helps to increase the downward speed of your arrows as they leave this rest. We also like how the TRUGLO Arrow Rest comes with a downward-moving buss cable so it can be used for both left- and right-handed shooters.Īnother benefit is that the TRUGLO Arrow Rest comes with a high performance drop-down design. It only takes a couple of minutes to mount it on your recurve bow. We like how the TRUGLO Arrow Rest features a quick and easy installation, as no bow press is required. It’s one of the more expensive ones on our list, but it does work very well. This is quite a different arrow rest from all of the others we have looked at so far. 5 Best Recurve Arrow Rests TRUGLO Recurve Arrow Rest Let’s take a look at some of the best recurve bow arrow rests out there right now. Recurve bows are a lot of fun to shoot, but you will need to have a good arrow rest if you have any hopes of actually hitting your target, while not damaging your arrows at the same time.

To recover requires awareness of your feelings. If you struggle with the fawn response, it will be important to focus on increasing awareness of your emotions. 3 Ways to Ease the Fawn Response to Trauma 1. Losing touch with your inner emotional life in the process of fawning impedes meaningful self-reflection and deep relationships with others. Honest opinions and goals may be difficult to construct if fawning is commonplace for you. It’s easy to lose touch with your authentic emotions, preferences, and desires. Sadly, appeasement or fawning is insidious in its ability to disconnect you from your sense of self. You may even feel unable to open up at all, preferring instead to align your feelings with others. Other’s anger or disappointment feels unbearable. ![]() To mitigate the risk of being vulnerable or disturbing relationships, you may bury or manipulate your emotions. People who rely on fawning to cope with trauma, often hide their true feelings in favor of harmony. You may tell yourself that if you accomplish this you will never feel the trauma of abandonment, abuse, or deep conflict. All in an effort to avoid other’s negatives responses or unpredictable reactions to your choices, behavior, or opinions. Saying no becomes difficult, self-sacrificing becomes your M.O. Making yourself as likable as possible becomes a preoccupation and/or reflex. You long for approval, acceptance, or relationship safety. If you lean toward people-pleasing, often the goal is to avoid doing anything offensive or worthy of criticism. Perhaps you recognize the following in your relationships: 1. ![]() What Does Fawning Look like in Everyday Life?Īppeasement behaviors after trauma can happen before we are even aware.
