![]() By the looks of it, the future of YouTube will be much more than just videos. ![]() Parent company Alphabet has invested in YouTube with new rollouts like YouTube Music (merged with what was once Google Music) and YouTube Premium-a bundled subscription-based platform providing music, ad-free content, and YouTube Originals. The platform raked in revenues of $15.1 billion in 2019, nearly double their figures in 2017. YouTube competes head on against traditional television and streaming programs for eyeballs. In recent times, the stock has advanced past the $20 mark, although there is still long-term unclarity around monetization and profitability. The stock price reached its nadir near $4 in 2018, reflecting investor concerns tied to the introduction of Instagram Stories. Snapchat and founder Evan Spiegel have had a bumpy road since their IPO in 2017. Facebook still possesses the largest cohort of users, inching closer to the 3 billion MAU mark-a breakthrough yet to be achieved by any company. Yet, its stock price continues to advance to new highs while the traditional economy faces less than rosy forecasts. A flurry of companies are boycotting Facebook’s ads, while the platform struggles to fend off the spread of misinformation. To put it mildly, Facebook has had its hands full. Here’s a closer look at individual social platforms, and their trials and tribulations: Facebook To begin, let’s take a look at how social networks compare in terms of monthly active users (MAUs)-an industry metric widely used to gauge the success of these platforms. With an additional billion internet users projected to come online in the coming years, it’s possible that the social media universe could expand even further. The vast social media universe collectively now holds 3.8 billion users, representing roughly 50% of the global population. Social media has seeped into virtually all aspects of modern life. Visualizing the Social Media Universe in 2020 ![]() ![]() ![]() Here are the benefits to expect when you use black obsidian in your life: 1. Working like a knife, it slices into the heart of your problems, revealing to you the root causes of your stress, and helping you face and overcome such issues. Its practical purpose coincidentally represents what it brings to the wearer. Since ancient times, the stone has been practically used for knives and sharp blades. It helps clear, energise and balance the solar– plexus and sacral chakras. Iron and magnesium give the obsidian a dark green, brown or black colour. The stone’s reflective, mirror-like surface also represents its meaning – reflecting your true self, including your strengths, mistakes, and weaknesses. Despite this, black obsidian crystals will give you the power and the support to handle these truths and flaws, helping you to move on and give you an enlightened sense of self. It protects the wearer from negativity that may come from the outside world and from the inner workings of the individual.Īs the “Stone of Truth”, it has a merciless ability to bring about the real cause of problems and trauma, and can be overwhelming if you are not ready to face your demons. Also, its composition is too complex to fall under one single mineral.īlack obsidian symbolizes a number of things, but its most prominent meaning is protection. This is because the stone is considered as volcanic glass as it does not crystallize. The stone is not considered a mineral entirely, but it is mineral-like. It is found in Argentina, the US, Australia, Chile, Guatemala, Iceland, Kenya, Italy, New Zealand, Peru, Papua New Guinea, with the largest deposits found in Mexico and India. The stone is found in many regions around the world, specifically in places that experience rhyolitic eruptions. The stone has also been used in experimental surgical scalpel blades. Because of this quality, black obsidian was used in ancient times for cutting and piercing tools. ![]() It is hard and brittle and creates fractures when cut, forming very sharp edges. It is a compact amorphous mineral, with its hardness similar to that of glass. ![]() What Type of Rock is Black Obsidian?īlack obsidian is made of 70-80% silica, and 20-30% magnesium and iron oxide. The lava cools so quickly that it doesn’t get crystallized, creating a unique dark rock with a shiny surface. It is formed when volcanic lava transforms into a glassy igneous rock when it comes into contact with water. When lava cools very, very quickly it can turn into obsidian. Obsidian, or as it is sometimes called, volcanic glass, is a naturally occurring rock that comes from volcanoes. It is connected with the root chakra, unblocking the floodgates of energy that prevent you from feeling a deep sense of connection with your environment. In addition to protection and releasing negativity, you can use the black obsidian gems for root chakra healing and grounding.Īlso known as the “Stone of Truth”, black obsidian is associated with protection (known as protection stone), honesty, integrity, and grounding. Ī Black Obsidian is a powerful crystal for psychic protection, helping to clear the negative psychic energy within your aura by acting as a psychic vacuum cleaner. Let’s get to know how this amazing stone came to be and how you can take advantage of its incredible healing energy properties. Dark and mysterious, black obsidian is an intriguing gemstone used in a variety of different applications, from medicine to jewelry, to meditation. ![]() ![]() ![]() Be sure to read the product description and view the product images for more information when selecting a kit to be sure it is appropriate for both age and skill level.

Unfortunately, the general performance of the Nest Wifi Pro doesn't do much to salvage the limitations of the design and features, either. Unfortunately, it's just tied up in a package that also features a distinct lack of network security features, as well - or, indeed, more advanced things like dynamic DNS or VPN network connections. Naturally, we haven't been able to test this out, but it's one of the only future-proofed bonuses here. In this sense, it's at least a relief that the Nest Wifi Pro is set up (somewhat) for the future of the smart home, offering the ability to act as a Matter controller and a Thread border router, like the Google Nest Hub Max pictured with it above. But considering this is a system that's grounded in the smart home, it still feels utterly bizarre to have tons of devices - even Google ones - floating around in unconnected chaos. This limitation isn't unique to Google - plenty of other mesh systems also don't offer this - but it does still present some classic issues, such as connecting smart home gadgets to the 2.4GHz band.Īgain, this isn't something we haven't encountered before. Our biggest gripe, for example, is the fact you can't split the network into three different SSIDs, with everything blanketed under one name and parceling out devices along the trio of bands. We think anybody hunting a super-simple mesh system will probably be fine with the above, but anybody wanting to gain true control over their home network will likely be disappointed. Ultimately, though, none of these are especially unique or useful. Then there are some fancy little graphs showing you things like usage, and a built-in speed test function. You get some nice essentials, like port forwarding, guest network features and the ability to prioritize devices for specific periods of time, but that's roughly the extent of your powers.įor those with kids, there's actually also the Family Safety option that allows you to set individual device schedules and restrict certain content via Google SafeSearch's database - though this is limited to just 'on' or 'off'. Given it represents the only portal for system control, though, we think it's lacking some depth. We generally quite like the interface of the Google Home app, with things kept relatively neat, tidy and intuitive. If the design and setup sit on the basic end of the spectrum, it's a theme that continues when it comes to the features and overall performance. Not wholly unexpected, but another potential perk that's missed out on here. ![]() ![]() Nest Wifi Pro also isn't backward compatible with any of the older Nest Wifi stations, either, which means legacy users hoping to save some cash will actually have to completely replace their entire system. It's fast enough in most cases, of course, but it does also feel like an odd omission from Google to forego 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet altogether - especially when options like the Eero Pro 6E are around, as well as top-of-the-line models like the Netgear Orbi RBKE963 that stretch to a 10 Gigabit Ethernet port. The plus side is that this is an improvement on the singular port present on the original Google Nest Wifi, but the bad news here is that they're only Gigabit ports. ![]() On the rear of each, meanwhile, is where you'll find the port setup, which comprises a power socket sitting between a pair of Ethernet ports. It's about as breezy as any system we've set up, so a good start if the idea of 'installing' mesh feels daunting to you. They each feature an LED light to show the network status, but the experience is largely driven through the app following installation. You'll get clear indications regarding connection strength after scanning the station's QR code and placing it, and, once this is done, you can largely forget about them. In typical Google fashion, setup is super simple - especially if you're already fully embedded in Google Home and have all your Rooms and Groups set up. One will act as the main router, though, of course, which frees the other stations to be dotted around your home. Whether you pick up the system as a single unit or add on one or two nodes, each device is identical. The look is clean and unobtrusive in pretty much any room, and, really, if it weren't for the throngs of cords coming out the rear, it'd actually be relatively ornament-like. It's fair to say that Google understood the design assignment with the Nest Wifi Pro. ![]() ![]() While you are here: DuckDuckGo or Brave Browser How does it compare with othersīrave says that they do not get index data from other engines. This indicates that the company is aware that it’s yet ready to compete with other search engines. Moreover, in every search query, I found a section called “Find elsewhere” that goes to other websites (especially search engines) to search for the same phrase. ![]() ![]() You must pick either Google or Bing, and the engine will display the results from that website. It does show the search results, but it lacks images and videos. While testing, I realized that Brave is not complete yet. But we don’t suggest completely replacing your go-to search engine quite yet, especially if you like having as many options as possible when it comes to query results.Choosing an Image Search Engine in Brave Search If you like where it’s going, using it can help it get there. It’s going to take some time, but if Brave is able to pull it off, it could end up being a contender in both the browser and search engine rings.įor now, though, Brave Search is at its most basic. How Brave manages to return relevant results without algorithms or data-tracking is a little unclear, but the way they explain it is, “We rely on anonymous community contributions to refine results and community-created alternative ranking models to ensure diversity.” Final verdictīrave is striving to do what other browsers won’t (or can’t): Make an independent search engine with reliable results, all while keeping your data totally safe. While DuckDuckGo, another top Brave Search competitor, also has anonymous search, it doesn’t use an independent search index like Brave does. Unlike Google, Brave Search doesn’t track what you do or sell your information to trackers. The competitionīrave Search’s biggest competitor is, of course, Google. If you opt to use the Brave browser, you don’t have to use Brave Search – there are six other search engines that you can choose from to set as the default. Platformsīrave Search can be used via the dedicated website at, or it can be used with the Brave browser. There’s a feedback link on every results page, so you can tell Brave Search whether they got it right or wrong, which can help move it out of beta. ![]() The biggest drawback of Brave Search is that it’s still in beta, which means it doesn’t have highly refined results for certain languages, queries, or regions. If you’re using the Brave browser, you can search right from the address bar.Īs Brave Search is still in beta, Brave will ask you to provide feedback on its search results (Image credit: Brave) When you use the search page, you’ll enter your query in the search box, and suggested searches will auto-populate. User experienceīrave Search functions as any search engine should. Note that if you want the most privacy that Brave can offer, you need to pair its search functionality with the Brave browser. By clicking the "Info" link toward the top of the results page, you can see how many results came from third parties. “This mixing is a means-to-an-end toward 100% independence,” Brave says. Brave is building its own search index … but sometimes, it anonymously checks search results against third-party results, then mixes those results into its results page. Most search engines rely on third-party indexes instead of building and using their own. When it comes to that independent search index, here’s a recap of how Brave explains it. ![]() Brave is building its own search index instead of relying on third-party results (Image credit: Brave) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() All you need is an interest of this field and you will do well by the end of this course.

Table 3 lists, in chronological order of development, AEDs approved for use in Australia prior to 2010 and still prescribed commonly in adults. These adverse effects resolve rapidly on discontinuation. All antiepileptic medications have dose-dependent, neurotoxic adverse effects, such as somnolence, cognitive impairment and ataxia, although the dose at which these emerge varies markedly between individuals. Newer medications have similar efficacy but lower incidence of adverse effects and less potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with other medications, compared with the older AEDs. Older medications, especially carbamazepine, phenytoin and valproate, remain in common use in Australia as first-line therapy, largely because of Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) restrictions on newer agents. Causes of provoked epileptic seizures Acute neurological insultĪlcohol (and other drugs) intoxication or withdrawal Most patients require lifelong treatment. Some other AEDs may control GTCS in this condition but can potentiate absence or myoclonic seizures. 7 Typically, excellent seizure control is achieved with low doses of some medications (eg. Juvenile myoclonic epilepsy is a common, under-recognised genetic generalised epilepsy syndrome in which myoclonic seizures, GTCS and sometimes absence seizures commence around adolescence. In structural/metabolic epilepsies, seizures are due to a structural brain lesion or metabolic disturbance the remaining epilepsies are proven or presumed to have a genetic basis and are hence termed genetic epilepsies. Normal EEG and neuroimaging do not exclude the diagnosis rather, abnormal findings assist in classifying the epilepsy syndrome. Generalised absence seizures (petit mal seizures) are frequent (>daily), brief (24 hours apart) or after one seizure if EEG or neuroimaging findings indicate a genetic or structural basis for a seizure tendency.Įpilepsy remains a clinical diagnosis. Post-ictal stertor, confusion and amnesia typically persist for several minutes. Cyanosis, tongue-biting and urinary incontinence are common during these seizures. All-limb jerking then occurs, lasting for up to 2 minutes. In the initial phase of stiffening, consciousness is lost for a few seconds, causing falls, often with a forced scream (ictal cry). However, this result isn't always conclusive.Patients most commonly seek medical attention for generalised tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS grand mal seizures). During the postictal phase, an EEG will usually show slowed brain activity on the side of the brain where the seizure originated. Electroencephalogram (EEG) involves placing small discs (electrodes) on the scalp to measure electrical activity in the brain.Brain imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT scan), can look for abnormalities that can contribute to seizures, such as a brain tumor.This fluid can then be tested for infections and conditions that affect the nervous system and can cause seizures. Lumbar puncture(LP), or spinal tap, involves inserting a needle into the lower back to collect a sample of cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the spinal cord and brain.Blood tests may be done to check for various things, including markers of infections or certain genetic conditions that can result in seizures.This can include asking you to name things or tests of physical movements, strength, and reflexes. Neurological exams are often done after a seizure to check mental and motor functioning and to see if there are impairments. ![]() |
