Share on Pinterest Image via Ascensia Diabetes Careįrom a UI perspective, the Contour app is user-friendly and easy to navigate. Unfortunately, you have to buy the cable separately because it’s not included in the box. Rather, it’s designed to plug into a computer to download data and use the software. A micro-USB pairs with the meter, but it’s not for charging. ![]() I find this a downside, as I like the ability to plug and charge my meter wherever I may be, with no need to run out and buy these less-common batteries. The Contour ONE meter uses a round watch battery. Fasting meal: A person should choose this symbol if they test their blood glucose 8 hours after eating.After meal: This symbol is for testing blood glucose within 2 hours of the first bite of food from a meal.Before meal: If a person tests their blood glucose 1 hour or less before a meal, they should choose this symbol.Meal markersīefore taking a blood sample, people can choose from one of three apple symbols on the Contour Next ONE screen: This 2017 study also showed that people with diabetes using color range indicators like this one offered on Contour Next ONE help improve blood sugar management and slightly improve A1C results. Green: Indicates your blood sugar is “in range,” which is the glucose targets you and your diabetes care team set.Īccording to Ascensia’s internal market research, 92 percent of users surveyed on the Contour Next ONE found it quicker and easier to interpret their blood sugars using the smartLIGHT feature than those who didn’t. ![]() This meter embraces the industry trend of attempting to help PWDs answer the key question, “ What do my blood glucose numbers mean?” Ascensia’s trademarked smartLIGHT feature lights up in these colors after the result is displayed to indicate how your blood sugar is faring: This can also be very helpful for those trying to conserve test strips and not waste any due to insufficient blood droplets. Handy for those of us who sometimes have difficulty getting “bleeders” after a finger poke and need extra time to redo the sample. This is a small matter, but you have 60 seconds to apply a second drop of blood to the same strip if the first attempt wasn’t large enough. This is a huge factor for many people with diabetes (PWDs) who enjoy movie theaters or regularly test in the middle of the night. You double-tap the round OK button to turn this port light on. Seriously, even reading the manual cover to cover, you’ll never see a mention of the fact that you can make the port light work for up to 40 seconds before turning the meter on. But you might not know it at first if you just looked at the meter or even if you read every piece of marketing material Ascensia includes - because, for some reason, the port light is not described as a feature. Yes, you can use a port light to illuminate where the test strip is inserted. The display does not have a built-in backlight, though you don’t need it since the screen lights up enough to use efficiently even in the dark. This meter has a black and white LED display with icons indicating your glucose log or settings. ![]() The Contour Next ONE has now scaled down to a single circle “OK” button with up and down arrows for scrolling through commands. While the form factor is mostly unchanged, it’s a bit thinner and sleeker in design than earlier models from then-Bayer that had three buttons on the meter face. Here are some of the main features: Slim design It uses the same Contour Next test strips as others in this product line. The Contour Next ONE sports a sleek modern design with subtle differences from its predecessors, and it’s the first app-enabled meter Ascensia offered in its Contour line.

Networks portfolio subscribers declined 5% while subscribers to our fully distributed networks declined 3%. In its annual report, the company said, “In 2020, total U.S. In its first-quarter report, filed April 29, 2021, Discovery said the number of people paying to watch on cable dropped: “Total subscribers to our linear networks at March 31, 2021 were 4% lower than at March 31, 2020, while subscribers to our fully distributed linear networks were 2% lower than the prior year.” The creation of Discovery+ and these shifts are all happening in part because people are fleeing from cable. The show’s star, Robert Irvine, didn’t seem happy, tweeting an apology and saying he was passing along “all these comments to the network.” As I reported back then, Restaurant: Impossible was not among the “exclusive original series” that Discovery+ had announced in December. But only one episode aired on cable TV, as Discovery moved the show to its new streaming service, Discovery+. I first became aware of this when, early this year, Food Network’s long-running business makeover reality show Restaurant: Impossible premiered its 18th season. The Internet has been referring to this as Discovery Plus stealing shows, which explains how people feel about it: It feels like theft to have paid for cable, and now find reality shows they’ve paid for taken away, and held for ransom, to extend the metaphor further. The moves have provoked a lot of anger and resentment see the extensive comments here for just a few examples. The moves are happening so frequently that some networks’ websites even have a generic page saying “This show is now streaming on discovery+”: TLC, Animal Planet, Science Channel. TV shows that have moved from Discovery’s cable channels-Food Network, HGTV, TLC, ID, Travel Channel, Science Channel, OWN, MotorTrend, Animal Planet, and Discovery Channel-to its new pay streaming service Discovery+ include new episodes of Food Network’s classic Alton Brown series Good Eats and Restaurant: Impossible Travel Channel’s Ghost Adventures, The Dead Files, and Portals to Hell Discovery Channel’s Deadliest Catch: Bloodline and Animal Planet’s Crikey! It’s the Irwins. It’s a great question-and one that Discovery’s CEO was asked recently when the company announced its first-quarter earnings. Okay…now explain the WTF’ry that goes along with Discovery+ and the fact that many of their “exclusives” are now available on demand for free? I don’t understand why these networks think they are worth paying for just to jerk people around. ![]() After I answered a question about why Paramount+ did not have all seasons of The Challenge and Real World, I received this follow-up on social media about Discovery Plus, and how shows keep moving from cable networks to the pay streaming service and back again: ![]() Uptime: 85.71% with Tier 5 tower target, 129% with Tier 4 target, 171% with Tier 3 or below target.Duration: 30-60 seconds depending on the tier of targeted tower.Type: Instant + duration, can be used multiple times if cooldown refreshes before duration ends, caps at 3 per round.Ability: Same rules as Overclock, but also applies stacks of bonus +6.67% attack speed, as well as +2.5% range for Villages, and +6.67% more bananas for Banana Farms instead of bonus attack speed.Cooldown of 35 seconds upon usage, rather than 45 seconds.Īctivated Abilities See also: Special Abilities (BTD6)#Overclock.Banana Farms increase income production by at least ~66.7% during the round if Overclocked, regardless of cost of the Banana Farm being Overclocked, as their attack speeds are essentially the rate at which they produce bananas.Tier 5 towers or Level 20 Heroes will be Overclocked for 30 seconds.Tier 4 towers or Level 16-19 Heroes will be Overclocked for 45 seconds.Tier 0-3 towers or Level 1-15 Heroes will be Overclocked for 60 seconds.Overclocked monkeys last depending on tier of the tower:.Overclocked Villages gain permanent +2.5% range, stacks up to 10 times.Overclocked Monkey Villages gain 25% range during the Overclock boost.Overclocked monkeys receive permanent ~4.14% attack speed (4% attack cooldown reduction), stacks up to 10 times.Overclocked monkeys gain ~66.7% attack speed (40% attack cooldown reduction).The visual effect is the ability applied later.īesides an additional Ultra Charge provided from the Ultraboost (plus additional extra range for Monkey Villages), similar rules regarding the Ultraboost's Overclock ability are shared with Overclock: The Ultraboost's Overclock ability and a normal Overclock ability cannot stack despite being depicted in the tower buffs when selecting the tower. The Engineer no longer wears a pencil on its ear, but instead wears ear protection that comes from its high-tech visor. Similar to Overclock, the nailgun is actually a technologically advanced gun connected to its backpack generator. Ultraboost equips the Engineer Monkey with a high-tech visor and an electricity-powered resource generator on its back. ![]() For Banana Farms, they will produce at least +66.7% more bananas per round.Īlongside the new ability, the Engineer's nailgun's pierce is increased by +15 (from 15 to 30). When an Ultraboost is applied to the Monkey Village, the Monkey Village instead gains a 2.5% range buff per Ultra Charge, up to 25% permanent range increase. Cooldown for the ability is 35 seconds, 10 seconds less compared to its predecessor, initial cooldown is reduced to just 5 seconds instead of 15, and is capped at 3 uses per round. The permanent boost and the Overclock boosting are different bonuses, meaning that they are not calculated together. This special attack speed bonus can stack additively up to 10 times, and grants ~66.7% attack speed to the target tower when maximized (40% attack cooldown reduction). It replaces the Overclock ability with the Ultraboost ability, which now adds a ~4.14% permanent "Ultra Charge" attack speed boost to the targeted tower (reduces attack cooldown by 4%). Ultraboost is the 5th upgrade on Path 2 for the Engineer Monkey in Bloons TD 6. Ultra-Overclocked Monkeys gain a small but permanent boost every time they are overclocked. The most common cause of bacterial pneumonia in the U.S. ![]() It occurs outside of hospitals or other health care facilities. Community-acquired pneumoniaĬommunity-acquired pneumonia is the most common type of pneumonia. Pneumonia is classified according to the types of germs that cause it and where you got the infection.

How? – Well the raw material is actually pre- consumer recycled (meaning it never left the factory) sintered base material. We call it Sintered Spec because it’s hardness and chemical properties are very close to true sintered and it’s on-snow performance is also very close to true sintered – but it’s formed using the extrusion process.

It's the first of a series of limited-edition niche models intended to add some lustre to Mazda's mass-market cars. The Mazda Protege MP3 is a lot more than a sound system. But if you set the thing up right, the sound is actually very good. You can crank the bass way beyond rational, as kids always seem to do. The sound is poured through two 5x7 front door speakers, two 6x9 rear-hat shelf speakers and a trunk-mounted 10-inch subwoofer. But for sure, you'll be spending a lot of time with the owner's manual if you're going to figure out all the functions this system offers.

The system was put together by Kenwood, the second-largest supplier of after-market car audio systems in Canada (after Pioneer). Since this limited edition of the Protege sedan is aimed at young buyers, Mazda figured they'd hit that target market by including an MP3-compatible sound system. The main problem with MP3-encoded music is that apart from your computer and a handful of dedicated devices, there aren't many ways to play MP3 music. MP3 has attracted great interest especially among younger computer users, who "strip" and "rip" tunes off the Internet and "burn" their own CDs. In computer music recording jargon, MP3 stands for "Motion Picture Experts Group Audio Layer 3." In English, that means a format for compressing digital music onto a CD, so that instead of 16 songs, you can get more than 100 - several hours of uninterrupted music.
