![]() ![]() Some of the stories explored on the show include one man who woke up in a morgue and the story of a mother who suddenly left to join a cult. This show seeks to explore them in intimate detail so that you will feel like those same events are ‘Actually Happening.’ Some unbelievable things have happened to people throughout history. I don’t think there’s a single story that hasn’t totally gripped me, and now I’m caught up I really can’t wait for the next episode to launch.Sometimes real life can seem a whole lot stranger than fiction. None of these particular stories can be proved one way or the other and so have to be taken on face value.ĭon’t let this put you off though. Now I can believe that someone had a close call with a murderer, or met some creepy person, but my Skeptic-O-Meter® starts to beep when people have the stranger, matrix like glitches in reality. These people either get in touch with the podcast directly or are found on Reddit. My only problem with this show is whether some of these stories are actually true or not. I’m not even sure if there were “radio rental” stores in America like there were here in the UK. I suspect that the only reason is to use the cockney rhyming slang of the title (radio rental = mental). I wonder if there would have been a better way of doing it, especially as Terry Carnation is a radio host. Each story is a “video tape” played by Carnation, and these tapes are the “under the counter” type illicit tapes not shown the the general public. He’s like a less cadaverous (though no less humourous) version of the Cryptkeeper from Tales From The Crypt.Ī (very minor) criticism is that the concept of a video rental store is a weird one. Having Terry Carnation present each story, and adding his own little skits between really helps too. The production quality is also high, and each tale gives the impression of one of those spotlit talking head type interviews so beloved of paranormal TV shows. The stories are all very diverse and it seems that the producers try not to have lots of similar stories cropping up in each episode, so they always feel fresh. This will also be getting reviewed here very soon indeed. So much so that as soon as I’d finished this series, I immediately subscribed to his other podcast Dark Air. ![]() I LOVE THIS SHOW! Terry Carnation is a brilliant host, and has some real laugh out loud moments. It’s a grab bag of stories, some that beggar belief. I mean, all the stories are from different people, and Carnation is simply a host. Unlike other similar (albeit fictional) series out there, there is no main story arc or even a Terry Carnation meta plot here. His dulcet tones and curmudgeonly manner add some comic relief to the rather dark content of the episodes themselves. Malcolm Rider from Voice from Darkness (who is). He is a delightful blend of Al Ridenour from Bone and Sickle (who isn’t a fictional character), and Dr. That said, there are stories that would be decidedly less scary if it was an actual ghost responsible! There are tales of odd timeslips, deja vu, close calls with murderers, and a few stories of a very particular fear of mine (but I’m not telling you what they are!)Įach episode is introduced by the brilliant Rainn Wilson as his character Terry Carnation. I think I had to get halfway through season 3 before I actually heard a “proper” ghost story. These are some very strange stories indeed. Now don’t for one moment think that these are the same tired old ghost stories that get trotted out elsewhere. Radio Rental is a series of true stories sent in by listeners. I decided to take the plunge into the strange and spooky tapes of the Radio Rental video store. A few weeks ago I needed a change though. This podcast was recommended to me by a work mate, so thanks Sam! To be honest it had been languishing in my “unplayed” list for a while now (as so many shows ultimately do). ![]()

Vitamin deficiencies can damage the nervous system.Pregnancy, due to increased pressure on the nerves of the lower lumbar spine, can lead to sciatic nerve compression.This can cause weakness, changes in muscle tone, pain, numbness, and tingling, often in the arms, hands, legs, and feet. Stroke occurs when there is decreased blood flow to the brain, resulting in brain and nerve damage, often affecting one side of the body.Like peripheral neuropathy, alcoholic neuropathy causes nerve damage, pain, numbness, and tingling in affected areas of the body, which commonly includes the feet. Alcoholic neuropathy can result from prolonged alcohol use.About 90% of dialysis patients experience pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the feet.

If you have been experiencing the symptoms above and have not been able to determine the cause, contact us here today. This could cause numbness of the foot, but would generally be present with many other postures and activities besides running. Nerve ImpingementĪnother cause for decreased sensation which can be ruled out on assessment by your physiotherapist is nerve impingement at the lumbar spine. Your physiotherapist can assess and treat this condition accordingly. This places increased pressure on vessels and nerves, therefore causing loss of sensation.Ĭompartment syndrome can be treated with rest, working on running biomechanics, massage and stretching. When running, muscles swell because the fascia does not expand. ![]() These compartments are covered by a tough membrane called fascia. In your lower leg, your muscles, bones, nerves and vessels are divided into separate compartments. Compartment syndrome due to running is generally described as exertional compartment syndrome. Compartment SyndromeĬompartment syndrome is another condition which may cause foot numbness when running. Being flatfooted or over pronating will also increase the risk of developing Morton's Neuroma. Your physiotherapist may also identify components of your running technique which may need to be adjusted to prevent an overload through the forefoot. This compression can be eased using padding under the forefoot to prevent compression of the nervous tissues and wearing running shoes that are more rigid and stiff through the front of the shoe. This compression can thicken and develop scar tissue. Morton's Neuroma occurs when your nerve is repeatedly compressed. Numbness or tingling around 2 toes, particularly the 2nd to 3rd is often indicative of a condition called Morton's Neuroma. To ease this, loosen laces to relieve any pressure points and vary how you tie your laces e.g. This is particularly common in individuals with high arches. If your laces are too tight, you could cause a nerve compression at the front of your ankle. The mid and forefoot spreads on impact when running so must be enough space to allow for this. ![]() Adequate room around the toe box is also important. You should wear a running shoe a half a size bigger than normal because the bigger shoe allows for your feet to swell. Poorly fitting shoes is one reason runners may experience numbness of their feet. There are varying reasons which cause the numbness and many ways in which it can be eased. A compressed nerve causes a decrease in the sensation to the areas the compressed nerve supplies. Your numbness could be caused by a compressed nerve. In addition to numbness, some runners experience pins and needles in their foot. Occasionally it may occur throughout the whole foot. You will find numbness in one part of your foot or just in your toes. Foot numbness is a relatively common problem for runners and is normally easily remedied. ![]() ![]() ![]() The light bulb on your LiftMaster garage door opener will blink, indicating the codes are successfully entered and set.
![]() In all of them, key factors for success, data analysis and interpretation are covered as well as links to additional educational resources. LI-COR has several other protocols to help you meet publication guidelines and requirements. Refer to Quantitative Western Blot Analysis with Replicate Samples to guide you in your experimental set up. Biological and technical replications should both be done, since they are both important but meet different needs. Replication is an important part of quantitative Western blot analysis and is used to confirm the validity of observed changes in protein levels. There is also detailed information on normalization calculations, analysis of replicates, and data interpretation. It includes step-by-step instructions on how to use Revert 700 stain. The Revert 700 Total Protein Stain Normalization protocol describes how to use Revert 700 Total Protein Stain for Western blot normalization and quantitative analysis. Revert 700 staining is imaged at 700 nm, and fluorescent signals are proportional to sample loading. Revert 700 Total Protein Stain is a near-infrared fluorescent membrane stain used for total protein detection and normalization. The figure on the right shows that Revert 700 Total Protein Stain provides highly efficient protein staining on nitrocellulose or Immobilon ®-FL PVDF membranes in under 10 minutes. This antibody-independent method corrects for variation in both sample protein loading and transfer efficiency, and monitors protein transfer across the blot at all molecular weights. Because this internal loading control uses the combined signal from many different sample proteins in each lane, error and variability are minimized. Revert™ 700 Total Protein Stain provides linear, proportional signal across a broad range of sample concentrations.Īfter transfer, but prior to immunodetection, the membrane is treated with a total protein stain to assess actual sample loading across the blot. You should make sure that the signal intensity of the total protein stain is moderate, without saturation or low signal-to-noise ratios. The relative fluorescence intensity is the average of triplicate values. C32 cell lysate was separated in 4-12% Bis-Tris gels and transferred to nitrocellulose membrane. Revert 700 remained linear from 1 to 60 μg of cell lysate. Above 20 μg of cell lysate, housekeeping proteins began to saturate and did not exhibit a linear signal response. A linear response is required for quantitation. Revert 700 Total Protein Stain has a wider linear range than housekeeping proteins. And, it must be compatible with downstream immunodetection of your blot. It should also correct for variation at all points in the Western blot process, including gel loading and transfer to membrane. A total protein stain should produce a linear increase in signal intensity in response to increasing protein concentration. ![]() Unlike housekeeping proteins, total protein staining does not require validation for each experimental context. This more direct approach may increase the accuracy of normalization. For each lane, the sum of all the signal intensities of all the proteins in the lane is used for normalization. ![]() Total protein staining is a direct measure of the total amount of sample protein in each lane. ![]() While you have choices for your Western blot normalization strategy – you can still use housekeeping proteins as long you have validated that their expression is not changing – total protein staining detection is becoming the "gold standard" for normalization of protein loading. ![]() In the instructions to authors for the Journal of Biological Chemistry, they state: ![]() ![]() These servers make it easy for you to download limitlessly via P2P connection.

The Android landscape has moved past these "all in one" optimization solutions. These apps are useful for removing old files and wiping cache data, but you should be wary about letting them control apps or services running on your device. You can do this by limiting background usage using Android itself, not with a task killer or apps with task-killing features. You might need to look at how to extend your Android battery life if you run into continued problems here. If they do, Android should alert you to the problem (assuming you have a current version of the OS). Most modern Android apps shouldn't impact your battery performance that much either. Interfering with that process can cause Android to work harder than it needs to, which ultimately slows down your device-especially if you're closing background system apps. The Android OS is smart enough to know how to juggle open apps for optimal performance. In fact, Android purposely keeps its RAM usage high to maximize performance. On Android, full RAM usage is not necessarily a problem. We'd thus recommend the original version for reliability until the newer one replaces it. ![]() While it has a more modern look than the original, the developer notes that this app is still early in development. Note that at the time of writing, SD Maid 2 is also available. Take a look at what's on offer to see if upgrading to the Pro version is worth it for your needs.
