![]() ![]() The terms direct and consensual refers to the side where the light source comes from, relative to the side of the reacting pupil. When light is shone into only one eye and not the other, it is normal for both pupils to constrict simultaneously. Right pupillary reflex means reaction of the right pupil, whether light is shone into the left eye, right eye, or both eyes. ![]() Left pupillary reflex refers to the response of the left pupil to light, regardless of which eye is exposed to a light source. Pupillary reflex is conceptually linked to the side (left or right) of the reacting pupil, and not to the side from which light stimulation originates. Pupillary reflex is synonymous with pupillary response, which may be pupillary constriction or dilation. Whereas, the pupil is the passive opening formed by the active iris. It may be helpful to consider the Pupillary reflex as an ' Iris' reflex, as the iris sphincter and dilator muscles are what can be seen responding to ambient light. By analogy with a camera, the pupil is equivalent to aperture, whereas the iris is equivalent to the diaphragm. The pupil is the dark circular opening in the center of the iris and is where light enters the eye. The W-shaped pupil of the cuttlefish dilating when the lights are turned off Terminology Light shone into one eye will cause both pupils to constrict. Thus, the pupillary light reflex regulates the intensity of light entering the eye. A greater intensity of light causes the pupil to constrict ( miosis/myosis thereby allowing less light in), whereas a lower intensity of light causes the pupil to dilate ( mydriasis, expansion thereby allowing more light in). The pupillary light reflex ( PLR) or photopupillary reflex is a reflex that controls the diameter of the pupil, in response to the intensity ( luminance) of light that falls on the retinal ganglion cells of the retina in the back of the eye, thereby assisting in adaptation of vision to various levels of lightness/darkness. In this case the pupil is 3 mm in diameter on the left, and 9 mm on the right While we're on the topic of differences in the color of the iris, arcus senilis is not a form of heterochromia and has an entirely different pathophysiology.Eye reflex which alters the pupil's size in response to light intensity Variation in the size of the pupil in bright (left) and dim (right) environments. I have found some incorrect references incorrectly describing heterochromia as anisocoria. If it has an acute onset, particularly if accompanied by altered mental status, anisocoria requires emergent workup and possibly neurosurgery. It can signify something life-threatening, such as Horner's syndrome secondary to a carotid artery dissection. Amphetamine or cocaine use causes mydriasis.Ī common mistake students make is confusing miosis with its homonym meiosis, the word for cell division.īecause the diagram shows eyes having unequal pupillary dilation, it depicts anisocoria, which is usually benign. Opiate use commonly causes miosis, although meperidine may cause mydriasis due to serotonergic effects. Miosis is a shorter, narrower word than mydriasis and refers to the narrower pupil. Which word is wider? Mydriasis is a longer, wider word than miosis and refers to the wider pupil. Miosis refers to a constricted pupil or a narrower pupil. Both words describe pupillary dilation, but which is which? Mydriasis refers to a dilated pupil or a wider pupil. Students often have trouble remembering the difference between mydriasis and miosis. ![]() ![]() Under Connect a Cloud Service, tap OneDrive.Įnter the email address of the OneDrive account that you use for the OneNote notebooks on your Mac or PC, and then tap Next.

In Microsoft OneNote, go to Settings on your device: Step 1: Add your Mac or PC's OneDrive account to your iPad or iPhone If you’re currently using a different OneDrive account on your iPad or iPhone than the one you use on your Mac or PC, you can sign into your Mac or PC notebooks by doing the following: Open Mac or PC notebooks (different OneDrive accounts) To sync such notebooks across your devices, you must first upgrade your Windows PC to OneNote 2016, update your notebooks to the newer notebook format, and then move your local notebooks to OneDrive. However, notebooks originally created in versions earlier than OneNote 2010 for Windows will not sync with OneNote on your iPad or iPhone. Just like the Mac’s beta version, the new Evernote for iPad displays notes under month headers, with sorting options available in the bottom toolbar to display notes by date created or updated, title, notebook, city, or country.Note: You can use the preceding step to open any notebooks on your iPad or iPhone that were created with OneNote for Windows. The main window, though, now lists notes as large thumbnails that provide a good overview of a note’s text, included images, and creation date. Evernote for iPad now comes with rich text styles available from the toolbar of the floating editing window (for some reason, Evernote still won’t let you edit notes in full-screen on the iPad), and some controls such as sections and sub-sections placed inside an easily accessible popover. The iPad, however, got the most substantial update this time, as Evernote for the tablet has added both new features and a completely redesigned interface that falls in line with what Evernote is doing on the Mac with the upcoming Lion-focused update. To edit a note and append rich text styles, users have to tap on the “edit” button when viewing a note, then manually select the text they wish to style – it works similarly to any desktop app in that you select text and then press a button to style it. If you want to get back to the original, you can fish it out of the trash.Įvernote updated its iPhone app with a cleaner UI for note creation months ago, but admittedly this new version feels much nicer in comparison thanks to a clever usage of screen space, and elegant design. If you choose Simplify, Evernote will simplify the styles in the note to ones that are editable, which means that some complex styles may disappear. Append will add your additions to the end of the note. If you try to edit a complex note, you’ll be presented with new options: Append or Simplify. These may include web clips, other typefaces or tables. ![]() You won’t be able to make direct changes to notes that contains more complex styles than what can be made in Evernote for iOS. There are some limitations to be aware of. You will also be able to edit any note that contains styles available on iOS. You will be able to edit any note that contains rich text that was created on the device. This update dramatically increases the creation and editing capabilities of Evernote for iOS. The Evernote team explains some of the limitations of rich text editing on iOS: To create or edit styles, Evernote uses a new tabbed toolbar on the iPhone that enables users to switch between styles (the uppercase A button), attachments (images, audio notes, new photos), and note information such as notebook, tags, and location. Obviously, users can now also select text to make it bold, italic or underlined, with more options such as strikethrough and highlight available in a new formatting bar. Whereas previous versions of the mobile app forced users to always edit notes in plain text – thus breaking styles coming from the desktop app – Evernote 4.1 allows basic creation of numbered and bulleted lists, as well as sections, paragraphs and blockquotes straight from an iPhone or iPad. Evernote 4.1 for iOS is available for free here, whilst the Mac version’s publicly available beta still reports “beta 4” as the latest one.Įvernote’s biggest change on iOS is the possibility of creating and editing notes with rich text styles. Teased at the first Evernote Trunk Conference last week, the long-awaited new version of Evernote for iPhone and iPad has been released today on the App Store, bringing much requested features to the iOS platform such as rich text styles, new iPad UI, support for shared notebooks and more. ![]() So let's get started on turning an image into a vector. Once you know how to convert a JPG file to a vector in Adobe Illustrator, you'll be able to scale anything you find to the size you want-without losing image quality. Raster images are common image types like JPG and GIF, while vector images typically have the SVG, EPS, or AI format. You can easily tell the difference between the two types of images through their file format. The same is not true for raster images, since the color information of these images is stretched when scaled. That means images don't lose quality when they're scaled up or down since the color polygons in a vector image will always maintain their shape. The geometry which comprises vector images is formulaic, making them resolution-independent. Since vector images use dynamic color sections instead of static squares, they provide perfect lines and crisp colors. Vector graphics convey color using scalable color polygons. Raster images use square pixels (bits of color) to convey an image. To edit the paths immediately after performing the Image Trace, choose Object > Image Trace > Make and Expand. Select the image and navigate to Object > Image Trace > Make to trace the image with preset settings. Most images found online are raster images. Open an Adobe Illustrator file and place a raster image on your Artboard.

The researchers named this type of leadership: “The Athena Doctrine” (see TEDX Talk). Both male and female respondents in all researched countries expressed that this is the type of leadership which they consider most suitable for the rapidly changing and unpredictable world we live in. The old masculine traits of aggression control, conflict and command are rapidly losing ground to behaviour, that is considered more feminine, like: selflessness, empathy, collaboration, flexibility and patience. The dialogue will address the qualities that such leaders bring to the management table and what firms can do to keep the positive vibe from female leadership once they have moved on and have been succeeded by other, male colleagues?įemale Leadership Excellence in Law Firms: coincidence or here to stay?īased on research involving 64.000 people in 13 countries, John Gerzema and Michael D'Antonio identified that there is a shift in the types of leadership traits that are associated with success, morality and happiness.

Sichuan Peppercorns – I like to lightly toast these and then grind to use in this recipe.Don’t think for a second that vegetables can’t be over-the-top tasty! The sesame oil coated garlic browns beautifully and turns nice and crunchy. I did this because I didn’t want the garlic to overcook in the Air Fryer. Garlic – I used fresh garlic and chopped it instead of mincing it like I do for most of my dishes. It’s also delicious as a dipping sauce mixed with a bit of mayo. You can use whatever soy sauce, or tamari that you have on hand.Ĭhili-garlic sauce – this is another staple in our house! A little goes a long way to add great flavor and heat, and we put chili-garlic sauce on everything! Noodles, marinades, sauces, stir-fries…we go through a lot of this at our house. It’s usually under $2 and we’ll grab 5 or 6 bottles at a time. It’s so tasty! We always stock up on it at the Asian market. Soy sauce – there are lots of soy sauce brands on the market, but I’m partial to a fermented soy sauce. I would not substitute another oil for this. Not only does this add a little fat for the air fryer to do it’s magic, but it also adds wonderful flavor. I prefer to buy toasted sesame oil but any will work. Sesame oil – sesame oil has such a wonderful nutty flavor and aroma. I have not tested this recipe with frozen green beans, but if you do – please let me know! Either will work, and you’ll want to make sure you’re using fresh beans. I’ve seen them in Asian markets, but I created this recipe with the usual green beans that I found at my local Kroger. Also called “snake beans” these are much longer than regular green beans, and not quite as sweet or crunchy. Green beans – traditionally this dish is made with Chinese long beans. Here’s what I use in this quick Sichuan green bean recipe: Sichuan-Style Air Fryer Green Bean Ingredients This easy Air Fryer green bean dish uses minimal ingredients, but that means that they are all pretty important for the flavor profile. You can place the toasted peppercorn in a plastic ziplock bag and gently roll over them with a rolling pin to crush/grind. My husband got me a beautiful porcelain mortar and pestle a few years ago, but no worries if you don’t have one. Then, you can drop whole Sichuan peppercorns in marinades or if you’re simmering a seasoned soy sauce, or grind them up to sprinkle in stir-fries or dishes like mapo tofu or kung pao. I think this step really enhances the flavor. You’ll know it’s ready when they become fragrant. You can pop into your local Asian market or find them online. I buy them whole, and then I put a few tablespoons in a dry skillet (no oil or water) and gently toast them for a few minutes. You also can’t substitute black peppercorn for this either, sorry! Sichuan peppercorn has such a unique flavor – you absolutely cannot create this dish without it. If you’ve never tried Sichuan peppercorns, you’re in for a treat! We love adding this spice to our vegan mapo tofu dish, sprinkling it in stir-fries, and using it in all kinds of dipping sauces. In Chinese, mala translates to “numbingly spicy” and gets this delightful flavor from Sichuan peppercorn. Have you ever ordered a side of mala green beans at a Chinese restaurant? It’s one of my favorite side dishes and everyone seems to just love them. This dish is vegan, healthy, and cooks up in minutes! This spicy, garlicky mala air fryer green bean recipe is a tasty side dish to complement your favorite Chinese main dishes. ![]() Inside: An easy recipe for Sichuan-style beans. ![]() Do not attempt to charge a wet iPhone refer to the user guide for cleaning and drying instructions.

He has since hosted its every season except for the third one. During the same year, he made his television debut as the host of the game show Kaun Banega Crorepati. It won him the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor. In 2000, Bachchan appeared in a supporting role in Aditya Chopra's Mohabbatein. Amitabh Bachchan is also known as the "Shahenshah" or "Big B" of Bollywood. In 1996, he started his film production company Amitabh Bachchan Corporation whose first release Tere Mere Sapne (1996) was a box-office hit. Khuda Gawah, released on, was also a critical and commercial success, and Bachchan's performance was well received both domestically and internationally. He then played Badshah Khan in Anand's 1992 drama Khuda Gawah, for which he received a civilian award from the President of Afghanistan. He also earned the Filmfare Award for Best Actor for Hum, following which he took another break from acting. Despite being a box-office failure, the former garnered him the National Film Award for Best Actor and has since developed a cult status. Anand's Agneepath (1990) earned him the National Film Award for Best Actor and later starred in Hum (1991), which was a commercial success. A year later, Bachchan played the role of gangster Vijay Deenanath Chauhan in Mukul S. This was followed by critical and commercial failures, leading to a setback in his acting career. He returned to the screen with the box-office success Shahenshah (1988). His workload decreased for the upcoming four years (1984-1987), but he found critical and commercial success in Sharaabi (1984), Geraftaar (1985) and Mard (1985). He suffered a near-fatal injury while shooting for Coolie. ![]() His performances in these films were critically acclaimed, and his performances in Dostana and Shakti earned him the nominations for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor.

List of Films of Indian Actor Amitabh Bachchan ![]() For some reason our culture has this question “what are you going to be when you grow up?” Think about the hidden structures and assumptions in that question. Which means who they are is not yet at stake. The insight that this version of that universal story led me to is part of the answer to why childishness is a necessary component of the transformation. What we think of as the whole universe is but shadow, and further, that to enter that “kingdom of heaven” you must be like a child. This book reworks the universal theme of Plato’s cave, and of all mysticism. ![]() And finally, there is the adventure of eventual escape. So the bulk of the story is the deciphering of the message, followed by the experience of trying to communicate its contents to the adults, who of course don’t accept the message (where else is there but here?) which is the equivalent of all prophets experiences of rejection by the status-quo. Well, being a young adult novel it’s pretty predictable in that the box is in our hero’s closet, but a nice turn of events it is found by our hero’s baby sister who chews on it for a while before our hero gets her hands on it leaving the message is only partially legible. The reader is in on a worse calamity, namely, that a secret message in a timed lock box that was left by the Builders, which was meant to be handed down from mayor to mayor and that would open just in time to explain to the city dwellers how to get out of the city, was lost many generations back. The problem is that the city is falling apart, the lights are going out, the vast stores of supplies of light bulbs, canned food, and vitamins are running out. The story is of a girl who lives in an underground and completely self-contained city created by the “Builders.” The population of the city knows of nothing outside the city, in fact, though they speak English many of the words in it like “sky” are not understood in any terms but metaphorically. ![]() The City of Ember is a young adult novel that is a fantastic allegory for spiritual awakening, though I have no idea if it was intended as such.

The boy gets angry sometimes, and his father talks to him about it, and the boy tries throughout the book to get a grip on his anger with varying success. Their own problems they struggle to resolve.
