When you open the Spindle Mattress website, you’ve barely scrolled down when you come to this: The cover fabric is knitted in South Carolina. The organic cotton is grown mostly in Texas and New Mexico, sometimes in India. The wool is from sheep raised in the Pacific Northwest. Spindle says, “Raw latex sourced from plantations in Guatemala and the Asia/Pacific region.” The company is based in the US, where the mattresses are made. The exception is the bottom of the case, which is a blend of rayon and polyester to take the wear of being against slats or other foundation materials.Īnd the Spindle Mattress is all-American. The fire barrier is organic wool, and the zippered knit cover is made of organic cotton. All of it is made from sap from the rubber tree ( Hevea brasiliensis). Like Southard, Spindle does not use any synthetic latex. It is all-natural, beginning with the latex. The only non-latex components are the fire barrier and the cover. Fourth, roll-packing mattresses for package delivery ( UPS or FedEx) – WJ Southard still sells its mattresses in stores. Second, cost control in production, such as using Dunlop latex instead of the more expensive Talalay version. How does Spindle make its mattress more affordable? First, simplicity. Southard also makes two innerspring models, The Archetype and The Archetype Pillowtop. He was already familiar with Southard’s latex models, The Cazenovian Natural Latex Mattress and The Cazenovian Natural Latex Pillowtop Mattress, and The Linklaen. In 2013, Neal left his job as President of WJ Southard to start a new mattress company in Acton, MA, about 300 miles from Syracuse, making a quality all-natural, all-latex mattress for people who can’t afford Southard’s high quality products. His is the fourth generation in the business. He grew up in a family of mattress makers, the owners of WJ Southard Mattress, located in Syracuse, NY. The Mattress Maker for the Spindle (the one who actually makes it) is Neal Van Patten. The answer is further down in the web pages. The website for the Spindle Mattress opens up with the tagline, “The Mattress Maker’s Mattress.” There are several things which come to mind when seeing this, attempts to answer the question, “What does this mean?” The first is, “Of course! Mattresses are made by mattress makers.” Then, “Is this what the mattress maker made for himself?” Or, “Is this made for other mattress makers?” And so on. ![]()

![]() ![]() If the same approach worked for human cells, the latter paper said in its conclusion, this technology “may provide alternative approaches to vaccine development.” He was the first author on a 1989 paper demonstrating how RNA could be delivered into cells using lipids, which are basically tiny globules of fat, and a co-author on a 1990 Science paper showing that if you inject pure RNA or DNA into mouse muscle cells, it can lead to the transcription of new proteins. The abridged version is that when Malone was a graduate student in biology in the late 1980s at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, he injected genetic material-DNA and RNA-into the cells of mice in hopes of creating a new kind of vaccine. She frames her husband as a genius scientist who is “largely unknown by the scientific establishment because of abuses by individuals to secure their own place in the history books.” The document’s tone is pointed, and at times lapses into all-caps fury. “This is a story about academic and commercial avarice,” it begins. ![]() When I called Malone at his 50-acre horse farm in Virginia, he directed me to a 6,000-word essay written by his wife, Jill, that lays out why he believes himself to be the primary discoverer. Whether Malone really came up with mRNA vaccines is a question probably best left to Swedish prize committees, but you could make a case for his involvement. Why is the self-described inventor of the mRNA vaccines working so hard to undermine them? He’s sowed doubt about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines on pretty much any podcast or YouTube channel that will have him. Yet instead of taking a victory lap, Malone has emerged as one of the most vocal critics of his own alleged accomplishment. It’s the kind of validation that few scientists in history have ever received. According to one recent study, the innovation for which he claims to be responsible has already saved hundreds of thousands of lives in the United States alone there’s talk that it may soon lead to a round of Nobel Prizes. If that’s true-or, more to the point, if Malone believes it to be true-then you might expect him to be championing a very different message in his media appearances. “I literally invented mRNA technology when I was 28,” says Malone, who is now 61. Wherever he appears, Malone is billed as the inventor of mRNA vaccines. Read: How mRNA technology could change the world On show after show, Malone, who has quickly amassed more than 200,000 Twitter followers, casts doubt on the safety of the vaccines while decrying what he sees as attempts to censor dissent. He told Del Bigtree, an anti-vaccine activist who opposes common childhood inoculations, that there hadn’t been sufficient research on how the vaccines might affect women’s reproductive systems. He told Glenn Beck that offering incentives for taking vaccines is unethical. He told Tucker Carlson that the public doesn’t have enough information to decide whether to get vaccinated. He started popping up on podcasts and cable news shows a few months ago, presented as a scientific expert, arguing that the approval process for the vaccines had been unwisely rushed. In that alternate media universe, Robert Malone’s star is ascendant. That kind of overheated, spottily sourced conversation is par for the course on shows like Bannon’s, which traffic in a set of claims that sound depressingly familiar: The vaccines cause more harm than experts are letting on Fauci is a liar and possibly a fascist and the mainstream news media is either shamelessly complicit or too stupid to figure out what’s really going on. Malone was riffing on a botched sentence in a USA Today article, one that was later deleted but not before being screenshotted and widely shared. ![]() The vaccines have repeatedly been shown to help prevent symptomatic coronavirus infections and reduce their severity. He’s the opposite of an anti-vaxxer.”īefore going any further, let’s be clear that the back-and-forth between Bannon and Malone was premised on misinformation. “You’re hearing it from an individual who invented the mRNA and has dedicated his life to vaccines. “This is a catastrophe,” Bannon declared, beaming at his guest. When he floated that nightmare scenario during a recent podcast interview with Steve Bannon, both men seemed almost delighted at the prospect of public-health officials and pharmaceutical companies getting their comeuppance. He chuckled as he imagined Anthony Fauci announcing that the vaccination campaign was all a big mistake (“Oh darn, I was wrong!”) and would need to be abandoned. Robert Malone-a medical doctor and an infectious-disease researcher-recently suggested that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines might actually make COVID-19 infections worse. ![]() ![]() ![]() Wolf Hunter (Bronze) - Destroy a total of 10 Fenrirs during story mode.

Toward the end, the President shared advice, former organizer to current ones. In December 2014, seven activists met with President Obama and senior adviser Valerie Jarrett at the White House, and the four of us from Ferguson gave an unvarnished account of what was happening on our streets. Democratic presidential candidates are now expected to not only have plans for ending police violence but also to talk knowledgeably about systemic racism. The uprising shifted politics: police shootings went from footnotes to front-page stories, with outlets tracking just how disproportionately black, brown and indigenous the victims are. Brittany Packnett Cunningham is a social justice activist, educator and writer Brittany Packnett Cunningham is a social justice activist, educator and writer. The uprising shifted culture: films like Ava DuVernay’s Selma and artists like Jesse Williams and Common placed the long narrative of black struggle in the context of our cries in Ferguson, and brands embraced the value of social change. ![]() The uprising shifted society: long before Trump’s Inauguration, resistance marches emerged across the country, mirroring Ferguson in tenacity and power, centered on their own victims of police violence. The pot began to simmer when Trayvon Martin was killed in 2012. Long past the Black Power movement or even Occupy Wall Street, too many of us had forgotten the responsibilities of the office of citizen.

Most apps are very affordable, if not dirt cheap or free. ![]() IPhone apps exist in many flavors, everything from simple games to complex software for professional task. This is not counting a vast amount of web based applications, over 1700 alone registered with Apple. At the current growth rate this number could top 10 0,000 by the end of the year. Currently there is over 65,000 official applications available at iTunes for the iPhone. The uses for this mini computer are growing everyday. It is expected that Apple will have sold 80 million iPhones by 2012. One of the hottest commodities on the market today is the iPhone and iPod Touch.

The Wednesday evening showcase was a success filling the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills almost to capacity with over 800 filmmakers, cinematographers, producers, students, members of A.M.P.A.S and film buffs of all ages. “Behind the Motion Picture Canvas” examined the role that emerging technology has played in the evolution of film formats, and how the technical choices made by Thomas Edison and William Dickson at the dawn of the film era continue to influence the way we look at movies today. Join Science and Technology Council member Rob Hummel for an illustrated lecture that traces the history of motion picture formats from the silent era through the 21st century. The motion picture aspect ratio isn’t just a frame for the picture in the hands of an accomplished filmmaker, the aspect ratio can have a significant influence on the storytelling process. “Cinema is a matter of what’s in the frame and what’s out.” – Martin Scors ese Continuing with screenings of “ Manhattan” and “T he Black Stallion” on September 10 and 11at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

Its capture cards in particular always seem to come with an interesting innovation-and the AVerMedia Live Gamer Duo doesn't buck the trend. ![]() Read our full Elgato HD60 X review (opens in new tab).ĪVerMedia might not be a household name yet when it comes to capture cards and streaming devices, but that doesn’t mean the company isn’t turning heads. All of which makes it so I don't have to sacrifice my own gaming experience to record it for others. Adroit 1080p at 60fps recording, yes, though more so the low latency passthrough, VRR, and HDR support. That said, there are some things I probably couldn't go without now that I have used the HD60 X. I'm yet to find any external capture card that makes capturing gameplay as much of a doddle as I'd like to think it to be. So the flexibility of how you wish to set up your streaming setup is something to weigh up before hitting purchase on an external unit like this HD60 X.Īs a user of the original Elgato Game Capture HD and then the HD60 S, I'll admit the HD60X doesn't feel like a revelatory new product. Ultimately, a PCIe add-in capture card tends to get you more bang for your buck at 4K, and comes with heaps of benefits in other ways to make up for its lack of portability. You also lose the option to easily travel around with your capture card, though let's be honest I can't imagine that's of massive importance for many. Some of the flexibility is removed when you ditch the external connection from your capture card: Not only will you have to make space inside your PC, but you're removing the ability to run your stream or recording off a laptop close-by. Though only a few of these 4K cards are standalone units, most being PCIe add-in when you get down to near the price of the HD60 X. ![]() So while your recording may lose some of that information, you don't have to suffer through a low picture quality while you're recording. The passthrough functionality of the HD60 X is, however, fully capable of running at 4:4:4, or in other words, uncompressed. And the thing to remember here is that, if you intend to use your content, say, online-which most will-then video compression is going to eat up a lot of the quality anyways. It does look decent with chroma subsampling, too. Corsair tells me 4:2:2 is available via non-default codecs and will work at 1080p at 60fps or 1440p at 30fps, but don't expect that out of the box. To save bandwidth on the HD60 X, it offers 4:2:0 by default. I don't have to sacrifice my own gaming experience to record it for others. A capture card is just part of our broader streaming ecosystem you should make sure you're investing in the best webcam (opens in new tab) and best microphone (opens in new tab) to complete your setup. The picks below were tested using OBS (opens in new tab) and Xsplit, two popular broadcasting apps among streams, since that's the best to the most of your footage. Plus, the bandwidth requirements often mean 4K is not worth the hassle for most streamers. There are good 4K capture cards out there, but they're also expensive, and those files' storage needs are harsh. 60fps is great if your PC can handle the extra load, but play it safe if you're starting out. We recommend most people focus on a 1080p target resolution and at least 30fps with any potential capture card purchase. External capture cards are a lot more portable, so much easier to use, and in some cases, cheaper than their internal counterparts since they connect to your PC via USB 3.0 or USB Type C. Best of all, they no longer require you to pry open your PC and hope to God you've got an extra card slot next to your GPU to install. ![]() Nowadays, capture cards come in all shapes and sizes and. ![]() ![]() ![]() As with Video Game Sales Wiki, the text of Wikipedia is available under the GNU Free Documentation License.
