Low blood pressure medication8/3/2023 ![]() ![]() They may also have a relaxing effect on the blood vessels, which reduces the pressure within the blood vessels. This has some effect on reducing the fluid in the circulation, which reduces blood pressure. 'Water' tablets (diuretics) work by increasing the amount of salt and fluid that you pass out in your urine. Calcium-channel blockers can also be used to treat angina.įor more information see the separate leaflet called Calcium-channel Blockers. This has a relaxing effect on the blood vessels. ![]() So, they have a similar effect to ACE inhibitors (described above) and you will need blood tests at the same times as your would if you were taking ACE inhibitors.Ĭalcium-channel blockers affect the way calcium is used in the blood vessels and heart muscle. They work by blocking the effect of angiotensin II on the blood vessel walls. The ones available in the UK are: azilsartan, candesartan, eprosartan, irbesartan, losartan, olmesartan, telmisartan and valsartan. These medicines are sometimes called angiotensin-II receptor antagonists. Then, a yearly blood test is usual.įor more information see the separate leaflet called ACE Inhibitors. The blood test is repeated within two weeks after starting the medicine and within two weeks after any increase in dose. This will check that your kidneys are working well. You will need a blood test before starting an ACE inhibitor. ACE inhibitors are not used in pregnant or breastfeeding women. They are often used for people with chronic kidney disease. If there is less of this chemical, the blood vessels relax and widen and so the pressure of blood within the blood vessels is reduced.Īn ACE inhibitor is particularly useful if you also have heart failure or diabetes. ![]() This chemical tends to narrow (constrict) blood vessels. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitorsĪCE inhibitors work by reducing the amount of a chemical, called angiotensin II, that you make in your bloodstream. ![]()

Sibelius symphony 28/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Starting at the more grandiose end of the scale, the system in which I do my most serious listening comprises Marantz CD 6007 and Onkyo CD 7030 CD players, NAD C 658 streaming preamp/DAC, Legacy Audio PowerBloc2 amplifier, and a pair of Legacy Audio Focus SE loudspeakers. I suppose that sounds a bit simple-minded, but I know I appreciate reading reviews by others that do the same for me - point out recordings that they think I might enjoy.įor readers who might be wondering about what kind of system I am using to do my listening, I should probably point out that I do a LOT of music listening and employ a variety of means to do so in a variety of environments, as I would imagine many music lovers also do. I have always taken the approach as a reviewer that what I am trying to do is simply to point out to readers that I have come across a recording that I have found of interest, a recording that I think they might appreciate my having pointed out to them. I would not presume to present myself as some sort of expert on music, but I have a deep love for and appreciation of many types of music, "classical" especially, and have listened to thousands of recordings over the years, many of which still line the walls of my listening room (and occasionally spill onto the furniture and floor, much to the chagrin of my long-suffering wife). Life couldn't be better.įor more than 20 years I was the editor of The $ensible Sound magazine and a regular contributor to both its equipment and recordings review pages. ![]() In addition to writing for the Classical Candor blog, I served as the Movie Review Editor for the Web site Movie Metropolis (formerly DVDTown) from 1997-2013. Today, I'm retired from teaching and use a pair of bi-amped VMPS RM40s loudspeakers for my listening. In the early Seventies, I began writing for a number of audio magazines, including Audio Excellence, Audio Forum, The Boston Audio Society Speaker, The American Record Guide, and from 1976 until 2008, The $ensible Sound, for which I served as Classical Music Editor. In the late Sixties I began teaching high school English and Film Studies as well as becoming interested in hi-fi, my audio ambitions graduating me from a pair of AR-3 speakers to the Fulton J's recommended by The Stereophile's J. ![]() And I've been doing it for a very long time, my appreciation for classical music starting with the musical excerpts on the Big Jon and Sparkie radio show in the early Fifties and the purchase of my first recording, The 101 Strings Play the Classics, around 1956. Understand, I'm just an everyday guy reacting to something I love. ![]()

Silver blue heeler8/2/2023 ![]() ![]() There is a lot to be considered when finding the right name for your pup. We have noted the most common breeds likely to have stunning cyan tufts. ![]() Now we know that the blue coat color is not something typical for every single breed, and if you’re in the market for a new blue pup, this is the place to be. Despite its size, a Blue Heeler is amazingly strong. Blue Cattledog Heeler Sympathy Memorial Silver Plated Necklace. They make great farm and ranch dogs with their hard-working nature and can also compete in Obedience and Agility sports because of their intelligence. Blue Heeler Puppies for Sale: Keeping a Working Dog Happy The Blue Heeler, like the Red Heeler, makes an ideal pet for avid outdoor enthusiasts or someone who wants a partner in team canine activities. Find amazing Blue Heeler jewelry on Zazzle. Straight from the outback they are widely known as ‘Heelers’ for their habit of nipping at the heels of cattle. When a coat appears almost monotone with slight hints of blue or silver, you’ve hit the cuteness jackpot! Here are a couple of grey and silver dog names we found suitable for these gorgeous dogs!Ĭhoosing the name Blue in another language is a unique and fun option for your pup’s name! Below we have listed quite a few wonderfully diverse ideas when it comes to blue dog names in different languages. The Blue Heeler is a unique and special herding dog from Australia.

Opera for mac review8/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Opera is still a work in progress, but it’s come a long way in the 15 months since we reviewed the first release of this new reboot. ![]() Also look out for Tab Previews (simply roll your mouse over any tab for a pop-up preview of its contents, which are dynamically updated along with the page itself). ![]() It’s designed primarily for slower networks but will work on any network you choose. Other handy features include Opera Turbo – technology also found on its mobile browser that compresses data while you browse to speed up website loading. It’s very flashy, but the key thing is it’s logical, and it works. What was stored in the now-defunct Stash can be found here. The Discover tab can be customised to show you news and updates from a variety of topics focused on your chosen location.Īnd finally, the restored bookmarks can be displayed as a list or as a grid containing thumbnail preview images (or site icon). The redesigned Start page gives you a choice of three views: Speed Dial lets you place key favourites front and centre via a series of tiles, which includes the ability to group related sites together. This left Opera room to focus more on the user interface, and while it’s taken a while to get all the key functionality back, Opera is now starting to fire on all cylinders, particularly now bookmark support has been restored after various failed attempts to move to a different way of storing favourites. The reboot was prompted by Opera’s decision to abandon its own proprietary web rendering engine (Presto) in favour of Google’s open-source Chromium engine. Even now, some aren’t coming back – specifically Opera’s old built-in mail client, which is available on its own as Opera Mail. Rebooted in June 2013 as a Chromium-based variant, the new Opera’s early history was a troubled one, with many long-established features absent. It may not enjoy the same level of attention as other heavyweight web browsers, but there’s still a lot to like about Opera. ![]()

![]() ![]() The catch would be that the ending is altered to make this new P2 yet another timeline after another reset. Then alongside that you have alternate modes that are faithful remakes of IS and EP like how The Answer exists as its own thing within P3F. My solution? Make a brand new game with a new Fool protag, calendar, and social links.but in Sumaru City, 1999, with all the party members taken from IS and EP and maybe a few additions (I would go nuts for a playable Ixquic). Basically, my conclusion was that while there might be sort of enough room if you squint to fit P1 into the modern formula, it just does not work on any level with P2. All of the new music is composed by Shoji Meguro.I actually have an elaborate idea for what is ostensibly a remake of P2 but in reality is more like a remake bundled with a new game. It includes music from the original Innocent Sin release as well as remixed tracks and arrangements new to the PSP remake. The Persona 2: Innocent Sin Mini Soundtrack, which comes bundled with the initial run of the game, contains 10 songs. This feature is available only in the Japanese release of the game. This includes creating NPCs, battles, events, and even choosing what items can be earned from battles and events. Players are also able to create their own quests in the Climax Theatre - a sort of "play, create, share" aspect. Following release, there may be additional quests available for download from the PSN. Also, quests in the Climax Theatre sometimes contain unique demon encounters. These quests offer the player a chance to earn powerful weapons, armor, and items. The Climax Theater allows the player to take on various optional quests that are separate from the main storyline. Welcome to the Climax Theatre! Not to be confused with the Golden Theatre from Catherine. The PSP release of Persona 2: Innocent Sin includes a theater mode called the Climax Theatre. Players have the option to choose between the new, arranged soundtrack or the game's original soundtrack. The game's director and composer, Shoji Meguro, composed new music for the game. A new remix of Satomi Tadashi, the legendary item store music adored by the most obscure and hardcore of Persona fans.New character portraits, models, and aesthetic upgrades.Improved user interface and combat pacing.Additional Features in the PSP Version The first "all out attack" outside of Japan comes to the PSP as Persona 2: Innocent Sin!įeatured additions to this remake are similar to additions made for the original Persona game's enhanced remake for the PSP: Rumors typically allow shops to carry secret weapons, armor, and items. Once the party hears a rumor, the player has the option to visit the Kuzunoha Detective Agency and speak to Todoroki Daisuke who will in turn spread the rumor, which will result in it becoming real. Persona 2 was the first in the series to include the Rumor System this gameplay mechanic allows the player to collect/exchange rumors throughout the game by interacting with Rumormongers, NPCs that can be found in every district of the city. Similar to Persona 1, when the party is in a save point area, shop, or other room without randomly triggered encounters, each party member can be conversed with and will reflect upon the situation at hand. Persona 2's main party consists up to five characters. Unlike Persona 1, Persona 2's environments are 3-dimensional maps, with sprite characters rather than a first person corridor sprawl found in other previous Shin Megami Tensei games. It was first released as a Playstation title in Japan on June 24th, 1999. Persona 2: Innocent Sin is the sequel to Shin Megami Tensei: Persona. We'll finally see what happened to Yuki after the Ice Queen issue. Overview Fans have waited more than a decade to play Persona 2: Innocent Sin. ![]()
