However, if you're already a patient in the hospital and doctors need to check for heart damage for any reason, this test might also provide useful information. This test sees most of its use in hospital emergency rooms when medical professionals suspect a recent heart attack. Extreme emotional strain, such as grief or stress.Exercising too much or too strenuously.Pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in your lungs). ![]() Other conditions that can cause your troponin levels to increase include: However, any kind of damage to heart muscle can potentially cause the release of this chemical into your bloodstream. The most common use of troponin tests is to confirm or rule out a heart attack. They will also remain high for several days. Troponin levels usually increase sharply within three to 12 hours after a heart attack and peak about 24 hours after the heart attack. The Troponin T in your heart muscle also has a slightly different structure, which doesn’t occur anywhere else in your body. Troponin T does exist in other types of muscle, but the amounts are very limited. This kind of troponin is unique to heart muscle. There are two types of troponin that are more detectable after heart muscle damage, which use the letters I and T to tell them apart. ![]() However, damage to certain types of muscle cells can cause more troponin to escape into your blood. Under normal circumstances, it exists inside muscle cells and only freely circulates in your bloodstream in tiny amounts. Troponin is a protein, a complex chemical molecule, found in certain types of muscle in your body. Some versions of this test can only detect one type of troponin, while others can detect both. ![]() This test is also known as a cardiac troponin test, or uses the abbreviations cTn, cTnI or cTnT, depending on the specific type of test. This test is also useful when other tests are inconclusive or when you have vague symptoms. That can speed up the process of diagnosing a heart attack. Newer versions of this test are much more sensitive and can pick up far smaller amounts of this protein in your blood than before. Higher levels of troponin in your blood also mean more heart damage, which can help healthcare providers determine the severity of a heart attack. Normally, troponin stays inside your heart muscle’s cells, but damage to those cells - like the kind of damage from a heart attack - causes troponin to leak into your blood. A troponin test looks for the protein troponin (there are two forms related to your heart, troponin I and troponin T) in your blood.

![]() It seems like you always hear Texas when talking about the biggest (size) US state. Wow! I didn't know that Alaska was the biggest, although now that I think about it, it makes sense. What is the state ranking after subtracting the area of bodies of water within each state? The data in this article was provided by the CIA World Factbook (see the link in the bottom lefthand corner of this page) which includes bodies of water in its area calculations.

If you add Texas, California and Montana together, Alaska is bigger than all three combined. Texas has much larger population than Alaska and it is currently the fastest growing state by population.

So if you were solving one of the quality crosswords at that time, there’s just a lot of words in there, you probably hadn’t heard of, or only very educated people would’ve heard of. There was a lot more obscurity in those days. It would be more of a test of your vocabulary. It doesn’t sound as challenging as the level on which clues are at today. I hate to say this, but that doesn’t sound like a very fun puzzle. WS: Pretty much, yeah, if you go back to the 20s and 30s, they were pretty much from the dictionary. There’s almost always at least one unchained letter.ĭ: I didn’t know that originally the clues came from the dictionary definition. In our puzzles, say you don’t know a certain word that’s five letters across, but if you get the five down answers, then you can solve the word without having ever heard of it. Generally speaking, you can never fill in an answer in a British crossword completely from the crossing words. You may have only about sixty percent of the letters cross. ![]() Also, in American crosswords, every letter in the grid has to appear in two answers across and down, that’s not true in Britain. And you would think having two paths to the answer would make the clue easier than our style where we have just one path to the answer, but it’s not because you don’t know-when you read a cryptic clue-which part of the clue is the straight part and which part is the word play part. Over the years a whole body of cryptic rules for cryptic crosswords developed that most of the publications in Britain follow now. It will contain a definition and it will contain some word play and the word play can involve an anagram, a homophone, dropping letters, word inside another word, and other kinds of word play. After a while, there was a whole body of rules that developed for British crosswords and in a nutshell, every cryptic clue contains two paths to the answer. A tree was always going to be clued as a “woody plant.” That was too ordinary and plain for the British mind, so they started introducing word play and twists. Our crosswords in those days were the definitions-the clues were strictly from the dictionary. Crosswords were a craze here in 1924-25 and then they spread around the world. WS: In the British style, they have cryptic clues and this style of puzzle started almost when crosswords jumped the Atlantic in 1925. I like any kind of novelty word puzzle.ĭ: How does a British cryptic operate on a language level? I love KenKen, which the New York Times publishes. There are some American publications that publish crosswords in the British style but using American vocabulary. My favorite kind of puzzle overall would probably be a cryptic crossword, which is the British style. WS: I like just about any kind of puzzle. Other than the crossword, what’s your favorite kind of puzzle? That’s the basic definition of a good crossword. Of course, crosswords have moved beyond her time and I don’t think she would approve of everything that I’ve done with the Times’ crossword, but generally speaking, I think crosswords should be based on regular vocabulary that is professionally and elegantly interlocked, with lively themes and fresh, colorful clues. The puzzles that she published had a classical elegance to them and I like crosswords that have a simplicity and a classical elegance to them as well. Will Shortz: Well, I guess if I have a hero in the crossword world, it would be Margaret Farrer who was the co-editor of the first crossword puzzle book in 1924, and she was the Times’s first crossword editor, from 1942 to 69. What is a traditional crossword and who shaped crosswords as we know them? You’ve said before that you’re a crossword traditionalist. Learn about the history of the crossword and how it’s intertwined with the dictionary.

At other times, I have rejected the whole thing because of the old wineskins. I confess I am still caught up in the old wineskins at times. Spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me. Ready for the New Wine of the Holy Spirit? Keep it real. Jesus agenda for his disciples: Stripping away the old wineskins of a religious kind of holy to make way for the new wineskins of a human kind of holy. Why do I say this? Remember the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit first descended on the Apostles? Remember what the people said?Īnd all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others mocking said, “ They are filled with new wine.”ģ4. So what about the “New Wine?” That’s the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit searches for people whom he can perfect in love. The Holy Spirit is not in search of perfect people. The new way: perfecting purpose through practicing love. The old way: perfecting performance through religious practice. The issue is not about the practice but the purpose. New wineskins-Sabbath all about provision.ģ3. Old wineskins-Sabbath all about prohibitions. New wineskins-Fasting all about fellowship. Old wineskins-Fasting all about faithfulness. New wineskins are about the training desire. Old wineskins were about the fulfilling duty. New wineskins are about internal identity. Old wineskins were about external appearance. Old wineskins were about getting it right. New wineskin: the Sabbath was made for man. Old wineskin: man was made for the Sabbath. Jesus appealed to the purpose of the rules-real people (i.e. Jesus’ disciples were hungry and they plucked a few heads of grain to cut their appetite. Once again, the so-called “faithful” are concerned about enforcing “faithfulness” to the law as relates to Sabbath keeping. Could Sabbath be another “wineskin” issue? Yesterday it was about fasting. So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” CONSIDER THISģ2. Then he said to them, “The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. And he also gave some to his companions.” He answered, “Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. The Pharisees said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?” One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. ![]() ![]() These sharp-angled jumps and the pools of mud littered throughout help bring the Excitebike feel to the track as does the amazing reworked music that will play as you complete your laps. The ramps that fill up most of the track actually change each time you play the level which is a very cool touch. The aptly named Excitebike Arena has a simple oval design. One course is inspired by the classic NES title Excitebike. The frozen look and feel to the course bring it all together for something you’ll want to play each time you and your friends sit down for a few courses.Īlong with all of this, this pack introduces content based on some other well-known Nintendo properties. It includes three different shortcuts along with the choices provided by the crisscrossing main lanes, two of which feature the kind of risk-reward I like in a good shortcut. The weaving paths of the Outpost may remind some of Electrodrome or even the newest Rainbow Road, but I feel this course does them the best. The other original Mario universe-inspired effort comes in the form of Ice Ice Outpost and may be this DLC pack’s best track. It takes place almost entirely in anti-gravity and a few clever shortcuts round out a great new raceway for Mario and company. The thing is loaded with small details like those depicted in the wall murals while zooming through interior areas. As the name of the track would suggest, you’ll find yourself drifting around the curvy ins and outs of a dragon-shaped course. Dragon Driftway seems to take its inspiration from Super Mario Galaxy 2’s Gobblegut. They also don’t feature any mind-blowing tweaks to their design like some of the ones featured in the base game. The three classic courses are solid additions, but they aren’t exactly all-time greats from the series. I would have at least liked some interesting twists added with some of MK8’s features. I personally prefer Mario Kart in 3D, so these more two-dimensional courses aren’t my favorite, but your mileage may vary. Very flat, none of the new features worked in. This track is about as old-school and no frills as it gets. The final of the three older tracks is Rainbow Road from the SNES version. MK8’s new anti-gravity feature is worked in nicely including being able to spin boost off of passing mine karts. Wario’s Gold Mine is probably the best of three retro courses in the DLC. It kind of reminded me how flat that game could feel due to its lack of a hop button, but it looks lovely with the new graphics and will put your powersliding skills to the test. The first is Yoshi Circuit from the GameCube’s Double Dash. Here is my breakdown of what is included in The Legend of Zelda pack. With its first DLC for Mario Kart 8, Nintendo has delivered with both quality content and great value. As my favorite multiplayer series, Mario Kart titles get played at my house long after release, so getting some new content added along the way is a huge plus.
