It all works very well.Ĭonnectivity with other non-Apple devices was solid, but only Apple devices, such as an iPhone, can change settings and remotely control features such as the noise cancelling. ![]() They also have the option of having voice assistant access using the “Hey, Siri” wake word and having Siri read messages to you as they come in. The Max have Apple’s H1 chips in them, the same as the AirPods Pro, which means they have the same strong Bluetooth 5 connection supporting SBC and AAC audio formats, plus instant pairing and seamless, automatic switching between Apple devices. If you are on android and like great audio and noise cancellation you can go for Sony xm5 or if you want to show off a bit got for apple AirPods Pro max.The digital crown works very well, including when wearing gloves, which touch controls falter. If you are in apple ecosystem you can go for it when the price drops. Style is subjective, I like the design and the colour matches my phone and watch. The weight is not felt on the head even though the AirPods max is a chunky one. My Sony ones are crumbly looks ugly and difficult to maintain. The ear cups are cloth based and magnetic and hence easier to maintain. That’s a pain point with Sony and others. The connectivity is super easy with macs or i-devices. It’s not bass heavy but is a balanced sound. It has computational audio that listens to the sound that my ear is receiving and changes it’s output based on that. But you need them to keep them in a low power mode. The quality is impeccable and the Sony seems plasticky in front of these. So if you are part of the apple ecosystem then this is the headphone to get. The main reason for me to get them is to have a headphone that is part of my apple ecosystem. I always thought these headphones should be around 40k for the apple quality. I see in apple store the prices are above 65k now. So why AirPods Max? The price was surely intimidating. I use them for a quick meeting or carry them in my pockets. The AirPods Pro are good when I use them for a short time but they keep popping out and hurts my ears. My go to NC headset was Sony and probably will be for long as I believe for price to feature Sony is still the best. I have used multiple notice cancellation headphones that include the bose, Sony XM and the AirPods Pro. ![]() Also, its H1 chip allows stable Bluetooth connection with an increased range.

6/5/2023 0 Comments Fire commander psi check![]() ![]() A free prologue is currently available on Steam if you want to jump in and try out the game before its full release next month. Fire Commander will release on July 27, 2022, and will be available on PC via Steam. APCO (Association of Public Safety Communications Officials - International, Inc.Developer Pixel Crow Games and Atomic Wolf with publisher Movie Games have announced the release date of the upcoming tactical RTS Fire Commander.ANSI (American National Standards Institute).AAA (American Automobile Association or American Ambulance Association).AA (Affirmative Action or Alcoholics Anonymous or Automatic Aid).About the only other abbreviations I can think of that may be ok (besides CPR or EMT) would be a two-digit state abbreviation (CA, AZ, etc.) or maybe the suffix to an address (Ave., Blvd., St., etc.).īelow are 300+ abbreviations that every firefighter should know, in order to be a successful firefighter with a high understanding of the fire service: The same goes for resumes and job applications keep the abbreviations to a minimum. Using abbreviations may actually hurt you, especially if they do not understand what you are trying to say. Also, many oral panels have a citizen from the community someone outside of the fire service on the panel as a rater (someone from personnel/human resources, etc.). While you may think that the fire personnel rating you understand the abbreviations, you can't be too sure. If you ever find yourself answering questions to an oral board (for entry-level or promotional examinations), please shy away from using abbreviations. What exactly is that abbreviation? Is it possible there are multiple meanings for that abbreviation? If so, how can we be sure that is what you meant to document? We cannot." Had I just wrote out Pulmonary Embolus, I would have been ok and we would not have dwelled on that subject and I wouldn't have looked like someone less than professional trying to justify why I did what I did. I can hear the attorney now "so, Captain Prziborowski - you listed that the patient had suffered a PE. The last thing you want to do is have to clarify to a judge, jury and questioning attorney all of the abbreviations within your report, especially ones that have multiple meanings. As a company or chief officer documenting their actions after the incident in a formal, legal report, I encourage people to not use any abbreviations because of the possibility of more than one meaning. ![]() Abbreviations can get you in trouble if you're not careful. Some abbreviations such as PE may have many meanings, all meaning something slightly different (pulmonary embolus, pulmonary edema, physical exam - see what I mean?). If you do use abbreviations when documenting information on a patient care report (if you are an EMS provider), make sure the abbreviations are approved by the county. The rest of the terms are foreign to the public and even to some fire personnel. Those two terms are widely used and understood by the general public. There are only two of the abbreviations listed below that fall into that category - CPR and EMT. A rule of thumb I try and follow is to only use abbreviations that the average person would understand. You may (or may not) know what they are saying, and the public probably has less of a clue as to what they were saying.īefore we go any further, remember that abbreviations should be used sparingly, if not at all. They were UTL any live patients?" I bet you have. Have you ever heard someone talk and you only comprehended a fraction of what they said? For example, have you ever heard a fire service official (such as a Public Information Officer) say something to the effect of "the first rig got on scene and found they had a TC with a couple of DOA's and a suspect that was GOA. We are expected to use clear text when talking, to ensure the sender understands our message. In the fire service, we try not to pattern ourselves after our law enforcement counterparts and use "9 or 10-codes" when talking. Knowledge is power and the more you know, the better off you are.Ĭommunications are a problem everywhere, and in the fire service, we have our share of communication problems. I'm providing this information to educate you and better prepare you for talking with fire service personnel or reading fire service (yes, like it or not, EMS is also fire related) textbooks or publications. Some fire service personnel tend to go a bit overboard when talking, by using too much "alphabet soup." I'm not providing this information to encourage you to use more abbreviations in your everyday life. In the fire service, we enjoy using abbreviations and acronyms for things. ![]() 6/4/2023 0 Comments Shower door sweep replacement![]() ![]() Replacing shower door wipe and seal is fairly an easy “do it yourself” project, as long as you are careful to buy the right one.

Words With Friends is one of Small’s personal favorites. After eight weeks of consistent training, those who completed the BrainHQ training saw greater improvements in memory and attention than those who did not. One group of adults trained in six of the exercises in BrainHQ for one hour a day, five days a week, while another group watched educational videos and took quizzes. The developers of BrainHQ sponsored a past study to measure the effects of BrainHQ on memory and attention in nearly 500 adults ages 65 and older who did not have cognitive impairment. Track your progress in the app and see how your performance compares with other users in your age group. Plus, each exercise continuously adapts to your performance, ensuring you train at the right level for you. Thankfully, each BrainHQ exercise is broken up into two-minute segments, making it easy to fit brain training into a busy schedule. Courses range in length from a few hours to more than 20 hours. With it, you can take courses to target a particular brain-training goal, from memory to brain speed, people skills, and more. This brain training app was designed by an international team of neuroscientists. Your mind may or may not benefit, but at the very least, you’ll have a little fun. Start with this list of six apps for potentially better brain health, selected based on top ratings on the App Store and Google Play, and listed in no particular order. While the findings are promising, many studies can only show an association between mental stimulation and a reduced risk of cognitive decline - they don’t prove cause and effect. “They’re primarily epidemiological studies, where you look at a large number of people and ask questions about their daily habits, and then you track them and see who declines cognitively,” he says. One major caveat: Small cautions against getting too excited about many of the studies behind the brain-health benefits of mental stimulation. “It’s important to find the sweet spot, where it’s not too difficult and it’s not too easy.” “What happens with some of these games is people just give up because it’s too much work,” Small says. The key is finding a game that’s challenging but still fun. Available only by prescription, EndeavorRx is the first game-based digital therapeutic treatment shown to improve symptoms associated with ADHD. Kids with ADHD are often restless, struggle to stay focused, and act impulsively, which can lead to poor school performance, per the National Institute of Mental Health. ![]() Food and Drug Administration (FDA) permitted marketing of a game-based digital device to improve attention function in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). By playing games that require you to juggle tasks, you may be able to stave off cognitive decline and related diseases like dementia. ![]() The researchers note that our ability to multitask declines once we leave our twenties, similarly to the decline in other cognitive skills, such as reasoning and working memory. Small is the former director of the UCLA Longevity Center and has led studies on memory fitness programs.įor example, previous research found that older adults who played a multitasking video game three hours a week for four weeks saw significant improvements in multitasking ability, working memory, and attention, compared with those who did not. “There’s been a lot of research in this area and there’s definitely a link between mental stimulation and lowering your risk for cognitive decline with age,” says Gary Small, MD, chair of psychiatry at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, and author of The Memory Bible.

WRC 8’s career mode has been well-thought out ![]() In WRC8, the engine has more character, too, and I’d also say there’s more detail and a wider soundstage if you use decent headphones or surround sound. Lumps and bumps appear to do nothing in DiRT Rally 2.0 unless you take off the ground, in which case the wheels can spin more freely and it revs highly if you keep your foot on the accelerator. ![]() What I will say is that the environment has more of an impact on car sounds in WRC 8. Having been in actual rally cars, I can say that both do a good enough job of immersing you in the experience aurally. But some cars are a bit electric-sounding.ĭiRT Rally 2.0 is arguably more consistent here, although people still found time to complain about this. The Lancia Stratos sounds particularly epic when in the view where are close to the pop-up headlights. Depending on the car, I find WRC 8‘s engine noises to be great. DiRT Rally 2.0 just seems flatter and more game-like in comparison.īut there are times when WRC 8 overdoes it with the darkening of your view when driving into direct sunlight, which is realistic to a point but at this level it’s plain annoying. Not only is it more visually interesting, there is greater levels of realism to be seen, the backgrounds are more alive and people look more human. On a standard Xbox One, WRC 8 looks more appealing. However, even on a fancy computer with a top-end graphics card DiRT Rally 2.0 just doesn’t look as visually appealing although I will say both games do a great job of extreme weather conditions. But there are some weird graphical issues on Xbox. It’s a non-issue for those unused to the extra smoothness, but it does seem a shame the extra power of the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro goes unused.ĭiRT Rally 2.0, on the other hand, can manage 60fps on consoles and, in my experience, does so rather solidly. There’s also no 60 frames per second mode (FPS) for consoles, which means you will need to play on a PC for that luxury. WRC 8 does unfortunately suffer from the odd bit of slow-down, even on the Xbox One X, but it’s not much of an issue in single player as it can actually help you. What matters is enough detail to provide realism and maintain a solid frame-rate. Neither game is at the cutting edge of graphics, but then neither has to.
