![]() ![]() Most people with COPD are current or former smokers. Emphysema causes shortness of breath and damages the air sacs in the lungs (alveoli). Chronic bronchitis can cause a cough that brings up colored sputum. COPD, a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs, includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Chronic cough can also occur with fungal infections of the lung, tuberculosis (TB) infection or lung infection with nontuberculous mycobacterial organisms. A common but under-recognized cause of a chronic cough in adults is pertussis, also known as whooping cough. A cough can linger long after other symptoms of pneumonia, flu, a cold or other infection of the upper respiratory tract have gone away. The coughing, in turn, worsens GERD - a vicious cycle. The constant irritation can lead to chronic coughing. In this common condition, stomach acid flows back into the tube that connects your stomach and throat (esophagus). Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).In one type of asthma (cough-variant asthma), a cough is the main symptom. An asthma-related cough may come and go with the seasons, appear after an upper respiratory tract infection, or become worse when you're exposed to cold air or certain chemicals or fragrances. This condition is also called upper airway cough syndrome (UACS). When your nose or sinuses produce extra mucus, it can drip down the back of your throat and trigger your cough reflex. The following causes, alone or in combination, are responsible for the majority of cases of chronic cough: In many cases, more than one cause is involved. ![]() However, a cough that persists for weeks is usually the result of a medical problem. An occasional cough is normal - it helps clear irritants and secretions from your lungs and prevents infection.

![]() Easy Apple Caramel Cheesecake DipĮnjoy your apples with this delicious and easy caramel apple dip this fall! It’s a perfect dessert for Thanksgiving or just a get together in the fall. The written instructions are in the recipe card further down the page.This post may contain affiliate links. I have also taped myself preparing these Carmelitas in the video below. Warm up in the microwave for a few seconds if desired.Oh, they will be sticky and deliciously gooey, but they shouldn’t be overly messy. If you let them completely cool, the caramel shouldn’t ooze from everywhere when you pick them up.You don’t want the bars to actually crumble. Be sure to really press in the crust, particularly the bottom.It is best to allow it to cool before cutting into bars, as the bars are more likely to fall apart if they haven’t been cooled. Crumble the remaining oatmeal mixture evenly of the top. Press just slightly into the caramel sauce.I pour it in zig zags because it may not completely cover the oat mixture and that’s fine. ![]() Make the caramel sauce. In a small saucepan over low-medium heat, add the caramel bits.(Photo 1- before baking) Bake for 10 minutes. Press half of the mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 8×8 pan. Stir in melted butter and mix until evenly crumbly and wet. Make the Oat Crumble mixture. In a large mixing bowl, mix flour, oats, sugar, baking soda, and salt.The recipe quantities and notes are further down the page, but these quick instructions give you an idea of how it all comes together. Carefully place the can in the saucepan, ensuring there’s enough water to completely cover the can at all times, topping up water frequently throughout the cooking process. Sweetened Condensed Milk -Bring a pot of water to a boil.If you use a thicker jarred variety, if it is thick enough, you may just need to zap it in the microwave a few seconds to pour over the Carmelites. Bring to a slight boil, stirring constantly and boil 1-3 minutes. In a small saucepan, combine them with a whisk. Caramel Sauce ( the kind you squeeze over ice cream like this ) – 1 ½ cups caramel topping plus ½ cup flour.Caramel Squares– 32 squares plus ⅓ cup whipping cream.Caramel Bits – 1 ½ cups plus ⅓ cup whipping cream.Here are the three methods and how much I have tried: They are still amazing though so choose which ever method. However, I generally find that the caramel flavor isn’t quite as pronounced. In a pinch, you can use a store-bought thick caramel topping. Making caramel sauce from scratch has a more rich, buttery style caramel flavor. but you can substitute 32 caramel squares like these. My personal preference is to use these caramel nibs, because the flavor is rich and buttery just like caramel should be. There are a few ways to make the caramel sauce in a pinch. Whipping Cream: We use this to make the caramel sauce to keep the sauce thick but thin it out just enough to pour over the crust. Cut it into tablespoon sized pieces and pop in the microwave for a few seconds.īrown Sugar: Light or Dark Brown Sugar both work well, although dark brown sugar has a little more moisture in it.īaking Soda: For proper rising, always make sure your baking soda is fresh and hasn’t expired. The butter must be softened but not melted. I am a fan of dark chocolate, so that’s what I use.īutter: I use unsalted butter but salted should be fine. There is a section below explaining how you can use store-bought caramel sauce from a squeeze bottle below.Ĭhocolate Chips: Use whatever brand you like most. However, it can be done with either depending on what texture you like.Ĭaramels: I use either caramel bits or Kraft caramel squares generally. Quick oats bake faster and produce a doughier consistency. Old Fashioned Oats: I much prefer Old Fashioned Oats for this recipe. Here is an overview of what you will need to make these dessert bars with notes on substitutions below.įlour: I use all-purpose flour, but wheat will also work as a 1:1 substitution in the oat bars. So grab a cold glass of milk or Iced Coffee and prepare to lick the crumbs off your dessert plate. Last minute bake sale dropped in your lap? No problem! Carmelitas are the perfect dessert when you’re in a pinch. They’re quick to prepare and simple enough for a novice baker to master. It’s no surprise that they’re a huge hit everywhere I bring them. Drooling yet?Ĭarmelitas are chocolatey bites of Heaven and you don’t need a fancy mixer or a ton of dirty dishes. Imagine sweet caramel encased in a soft oatmeal cookie, finished off with a delicious sprinkling of chocolate chips. Out of all of the desserts I’ve made throughout the years, cookies remain the perennial favorite!Ĭue this Oatmeal Carmelita Bars recipe. I’m never short on taste testers on baking day. It’s no secret we’ve got a houseful of sweet tooths. ![]() In 1724 a new church, separate from the Town Hall, was built on the Commons, the beginning of the separation of church and state.īy the end of the 19th century, these official structures were joined by new types of semipublic buildings, fraternal organizations for narrower slices of community. Ideas about community and what was properly owned in common changed dramatically over the following decades. (Not an inclusive group, though: the town’s Native population, its enslaved and free African-Americans, and women were not present at the town meetings.) Among the early decisions at the town hall: the laying out of roads, apportioning the town’s allotment of salt, and the division of the town’s woods. It was a place for community in a community that still owned much in common and made decisions as a group. In 1694 the town erected a building to be used as a combined town hall and church, tavern and poor house. This plot was called the Commons from the start. An additional equal section was set aside for “Minister,” land to be rented or sold to support the church.Īnd then a plot of land in the center of town, about 20 acres, was set aside for the church and for government offices, a common burial ground, a pound for wandering animals, and space for the drilling of militia. ![]() When Little Compton was laid out in the late 17th century, each purchase from the Sakonnet people was divided among the 29 “First Proprietors,” men from Plymouth Colony who had been promised land on the frontier. (This sets Little Compton apart from most Rhode Island towns, which lack town greens, and opposed established churches.) Little Compton was originally part of the Plymouth Colony, which designed towns to include a space for the government and church in the center of things, embracing the idea of the commons both as civic space and as a way of governing. The town green is officially “the Commons.” Little Compton, Rhode Island, where I live, has an actual, physical commons. To understand the long history of the commons in American life, I went looking for it. We hear more about the “tragedy of the commons”-the economist’s phrase for what happens to jointly held resources like clean water or air when everyone acts in their own self-interest-than about the value of the commons. Today, the concept of the commons is under threat in a country that has become more focused on individual rights than on collective ones. It was a place where all could graze their cattle, bury their dead, and meet for church and to make community decisions. It also has a distinct history in the U.S., harking back to early American towns having an actual commons, an undivided piece of land owned jointly by all the residents of a town. ![]() The commons are property we all share, property that’s owned not by any one person or group, but that’s held-well, in common. This week: Historian Steven Lubar searches for “the commons” in his Rhode Island town and finds something “increasingly complicated, splintered.” Zócalo’s editors are diving into our archives and throwing it back to some of our favorite pieces. She reveals that she killed her parents, aunt, uncle and cousins and after joining back up, they go back to the bar and try to make an escape, but it's blocked by vampires. After fighting off some of the vampires in the tunnels, she is put in a group with Ambrose and the Hangman. She is joined up by the remaining humans and is one of the many that has a score to settle. After a gunfight ends between the Hangman and Johnny, the vampires go into a frenzy and she manages to burn the rope off hands, freeing her in the process. They walk in the bar and a it's shown that the establishment is run by vampires. She mutters that she's going to kill him and the men take her with them. She is thought to be dead when she is found by The Hangman and his men, but Lazaro cuts the rope and she drops to the ground. She is then hung in a cemetery and is insulted by the outlaws. They then ride off to loot the stagecoach Bierce is in and it's revealed that what was in the suitcase was a manuscript for a new book, The Monk and the Hangman's Daughter. ![]() ![]() She tells him she wants to be his apprentice and that Ambrose Bierce might have gold in his suitcase. She then rides towards Johnny's hideout with his gang and his thrown to the ground. She then saves Johnny when he was about to be executed by shooting the rope. The bartender tells Ambrose she has been hanging around not drinking a thing for a couple of days. He asks if it's close enough and she answers yes, he gives her the go along and he proceeds to kick her in the behind as she leaves. She tells him she wasn't going to see it, but just wanted to see it up close. She gets her gun ready, but Ambrose aims his gun at her. In From Dusk Till Dawn 3: The Hangman's Daughter, she is seen spinning Ambrose's gun and when he notices, she tells him he has a nice gun and he hits her across the face, causing her to fall to the ground. She killed her whole family in Oklahoma, then went on to kill her aunt, uncle, and six cousins in Texas. Snake Removal - Only the Lords are vulnerable to this and when said snake is removed and killed in any manner, the Lord will die as well.Reece was wanted for murder in two states.Decapitation - Culebras are vulnerable to decapitation, but like snakes, they have been shown to still have movement.Extraction - They are vulnerable to heart extraction.Staked - Culebras are vulnerable to stakes to the heart, as it will usually kill them.Sunlight - Culebras are vulnerable to the sunlight and will die of exposure to it.They either have flaked or scaly skin with sometimes hardened scales and horns. It causes them to mentally degenerate into mindless animals that can be killed easier as they are not as smart in a fight and are more blood crazed, though when partially transformed, they are simply more aggressive and can speak, while other are more like hungry zombies and even hunt in hoards or packs.

In addition, chronic illnesses, such as poor vision, are immediately corrected. Accelerated Healing - Culebras heal from physical wounds much faster than humans. ![]()
![]() You’ll need to know your angles if you want to play him. Playing Sova is an art because of its capacity to recon and to deal a small bit of damage. Sovaįor team matches, Sova is a superb agent. Unfortunately, she is vulnerable to hostile utility, such as delaying tactics like Nano swarms and Tripwires. Neon excels in disengaged one-on-ones versus specialists who lack mobility, but her overall abilities are somewhat lackluster when it comes to separating enemy defenses. Overall, she doesn’t have any sort of separation like Reyna’s Dismiss, or Jett’s scramble, or even Chamber’s Rendezvous while slipping in and commencing duels She is a high-risk, high-reward specialist, and her abilities are best suited to an all-in style of play. While her brave sprinting and sliding into battle earns her some true style points, her unit’s overall strength and reliability might need some attention. Neon is perhaps Valorant’s greatest time specialist. As a result, she is able to amaze her foes by holding incredible points of view. Reyna is an excellent specialist if you want to play off-points. Because no other specialist can equal her gripping power in clutch situations, she may be the best specialist for you if you’re strong enough. Reynaĭespite the fact that Reyna has a high ceiling to soar off of, she may be one extreme or another specialty owing to the fact that she requires kills to power her Q/E usage.ĭespite her distinct reputation as a pub stomper, she’s been picking up some steam as an ace selection in ace play. With her flash and the pressure of her teammates, it may also lead to easy kills. Her ultimate, which provides information on the enemy’s whereabouts, is also of great benefit to the squad. In addition, her flashes give the team information via her voice callouts, which they can hear. Flashing, for instance, over Icebox’s tall walls or all the way through and around U-Hall. They are useful since they can go quickly across the map and around numerous corners. Her wolf, on the other hand, is now more visible and has a longer concussion timeframe for the target. She is able to take use of her flashes more effectively thanks to her faster weapon re-equip. With her new upgrades, Skye has become one of the most powerful initiators in the game. We believe she will continue to be the most popular agent through 2022. Jett is one of the greatest characters in our Valorant tier list 2022 because of her abilities and her freedom to move across the battlefield. As other renowned agents have been nerfed, Jett has developed to fill the hole. Her Ultimate is particularly noteworthy, allowing her to do a significant amount of damage. For defensive and planning purposes, Cloudburst also helps. Having all of these at her disposal allowed jet to monitor the area around her with ease and maneuver into and out of engagements at will. Jett’s Drift, Updraft, and Tailwind skills, among others, give him tremendous mobility. She is the offensive agent who is able to knock down her foes with relative ease while still allowing herself time to survive on the field. JettĪs a result of her diverse set of skills, Jett has been able to hold on to her position as Valorant’s top agent. Their excellent survivability and excellent team synergy make them an ideal option. S Tier agents represent the pinnacle of the field and are held in high regard. All of the guns in the game are shared, which makes it easier for Riot Games to keep the strengths and weaknesses of its characters in check. But none of them is pretty much unplayable. Not all agents are created equal, as we must always keep in mind. Sage, Killjoy, Astra, Raze, Cypher, ChamberĪll the agents in the pool have been divided into 4 categories based on the current meta to help you make the best choice, with the S-Tier ranked as the highest, to the C-Tier as the least.

When an electron gets excited it jumps from the lower energy level to the higher energy level. The shell closest to the nucleus is said to have the least energy, also known as the ground state while the one located farthest from the nucleus has the maximum amount of energy associated with it. The shells are also known as energy levels. with the lowest value assigned to the shell located closest to the nucleus. Multiple numbers of shells are present in an atom depending upon the number of electrons it contains.Īccording to the Bohr model of the atom, the shells are named as K, L, M, N, etc., or 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. Shells: These are the circular paths surrounding the atoms in which the electrons are said to revolve around the nucleus.As per the Bohr-Rutherford model, the electrons revolve around the nucleus in fixed orbits or shells.

Averaging out our tests, the CPT-440 came out on the speedier side of things, bested only by the Alessi Electric Toaster, which costs more than twice as much. One last factor worth considering is toast time. Note: Shorter bars indicate faster performance The darkest setting is probably blacker than you'd ever want, but the extra oomph of toasting to a seven might come in handy if you're ever toasting bread straight out of the fridge.Īlessi Electric Toaster 82 132 166 Cuisinart Leverless 4-Slice Toaster 78 155 225 Hamilton Beach Classic Chrome 2-Slice Toaster 82 165 217 KitchenAid Pro Line 4-Slice Toaster 80 160 247 KitchenAid KMT422 90 195 300 Frigidaire Professional 4-Slice Toaster 110 219 330 For my tastes, the Cuisinart's spread looks the best to me, with even results on all three settings and nice, golden-brown toast in the middle. The chart above shows how each toaster we tested performed across three settings: the lowest doneness setting, the middle doneness setting, and the highest doneness setting. That's a better result than we saw with cheaper models like the Hamilton Beach Classic Chrome Toaster, which tended to overcook just a bit, and also a better result than the ultra-high-end KitchenAid Pro Line Toaster, which left things slightly undertoasted in my opinion. With Cuisinart, I felt that I had seven distinct doneness settings, all of which yielded predictable and satisfying results. With some toasters, anything toasted to a five or above is going to come out well-done, with only slight differences in the amount of blackness. ![]() It's a minor quibble, though, and not one that stopped me from eating the test results for breakfast.Īnother strong result is that I was able to distinguish each of the seven doneness settings from one another. It's designed to toast only the insides of your bagel, and while that's just what it did when I tried it out, I can't say that it toasted them all that evenly. This was true within each slot, with mostly uniform browning on each side of each piece of bread, and also true across all four slots, with multiple slices coming out toasted to the same level. In general, I was also impressed with how evenly the Cuisinart toasted things. The waffles came out crispy and slightly browned, while the Pop-Tarts came out hot but only lightly toasted - exactly what I wanted. At the same time, I set the right slots to heat a pair of Pop-Tarts to a lightly toasted two out of seven. In one test, I set the left slots to toast frozen Eggo waffles to a well-done six out of seven. This held true even when we asked the Cuisinart to do two things at once. ![]() The CPT-440 can simultaneously toast different things to different levels. |
