![]() ![]() Kool Moe Dee suggests the change in how the term is used happened somewhere in the mid to late 1980s, saying, "until 1986, all freestyles were written", and "before the 1990s, it was about how hard you could come with a written rhyme with no particular subject matter and no real purpose other than showing your lyrical prowess." This type of freestyle is the focus of Kevin Fitzgerald's documentary, Freestyle: The Art of Rhyme, where the term is used throughout by numerous artists to mean improvisational rapping. ![]() Since the early 1990s onwards, with the popularization of improvisational rapping from groups and artists such as Freestyle Fellowship through to fresh fest competitions, "freestyle" has come to be the widely used term for rap lyrics which are improvised on the spot. Kool Moe Dee suggests that Kool G Rap's track "Men At Work" is an "excellent example" of true freestyle, along with Rakim's "Lyrics of Fury". Referring to this earlier definition (a written rhyme on non-specific subject matter), Big Daddy Kane stated, "that's really what a freestyle is" and Kool Moe Dee refers to it as "true" freestyle, and "the real old-school freestyle". In old school hip-hop, Kool Moe Dee claimed that improvisational rapping was instead called "coming off the top of the head", and Big Daddy Kane stated, "off-the-top-of-the-head, we just called that 'off the dome' – when you don't write it and say whatever comes to mind". Then there's freestyle where you come off the top of the head. There's an old-school freestyle that's basically rhymes that you've written that may not have anything to do with any subject or that goes all over the place. Kool Moe Dee also refers to this earlier definition in his book, There's A God On The Mic: and now they call freestyling off the top of the head, so the era I come from, it's a lot different". Divine Styler says: "in the school I come from, freestyling was a non-conceptual written rhyme. ![]() it's basically a rhyme just bragging about yourself." Myka 9 adds, "back in the day, freestyle was bust a rhyme about any random thing, and it was a written rhyme or something memorized". In the book How to Rap, Big Daddy Kane and Myka 9 note that originally a freestyle was a spit on no particular subject – Big Daddy Kane said, "in the '80s, when we said we wrote a freestyle rap, that meant that it was a rhyme that you wrote that was free of style. It is now mainly associated with hip hop. The newer style with the improvisation grew popular starting in the early 1990s. Freestyle originally was simply verse that is free of style, written rhymes that do not follow a specific subject matter, or predetermined cadence. It is similar to other improvisational music, such as jazz, where a lead instrumentalist acts as an improviser with a supporting band providing a beat. Freestyle is a style of improvisation, with or without instrumental beats, in which lyrics are recited with no particular subject or structure and with no prior memorization. ![]()

A lung infection or sickle cells blocking blood vessels in the lungs can cause this life-threatening complication, resulting in chest pain, fever and difficulty breathing. If your child has any of these signs and symptoms, seek medical treatment immediately. Signs of stroke include seizures, weakness or numbness of the arms and legs, sudden speech difficulties, and loss of consciousness. Sickle cells can block blood flow to an area of the brain. Sickle cell anemia can lead to a host of complications, including: This can damage the retina - the portion of the eye that processes visual images - and lead to vision problems. Tiny blood vessels that supply the eyes can become plugged with sickle cells. A shortage of healthy red blood cells can slow growth in infants and children and delay puberty in teenagers. Red blood cells provide the body with the oxygen and nutrients needed for growth. Infants and children with sickle cell anemia commonly receive vaccinations and antibiotics to prevent potentially life-threatening infections, such as pneumonia. Sickle cells can damage the spleen, increasing vulnerability to infections. The swelling is caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells blocking blood circulation in the hands and feet. Some adolescents and adults with sickle cell anemia also have chronic pain, which can result from bone and joint damage, ulcers, and other causes. A severe pain crisis requires a hospital stay. Some people have only a few pain crises a year. The pain varies in intensity and can last for a few hours to a few days. Pain develops when sickle-shaped red blood cells block blood flow through tiny blood vessels to your chest, abdomen and joints. Periodic episodes of extreme pain, called pain crises, are a major symptom of sickle cell anemia. Without enough red blood cells, the body can't get enough oxygen and this causes fatigue.Įpisodes of pain. But sickle cells typically die in 10 to 20 days, leaving a shortage of red blood cells (anemia). Red blood cells usually live for about 120 days before they need to be replaced. They vary from person to person and may change over time. Signs and symptoms of sickle cell anemia usually appear around 6 months of age. ![]() ![]() ![]() The World’s Best 3-Wick Candles also make the ultimate gifts…for every person, every occasion and every reason.

The recent tier 2 ships are even more disappointing. Others here are right that ships are like classes that offer different combat playstyles, but a hulking gunship being as strong and as expensive as a puny scout does not really make sense. It is one of the major failings of this game as a sandbox space game. ![]() from Eagle to an Adder, or between tiers e.g. Ships do not provide any sense of "upgrade" that you may be used to from other space sims like Freelancer or Elite - be it upgrading within the same tier e.g. Not really any reason to move to any of them, unless it turns out in practice they play very differently. Originally posted by gruevy:I just got to the first place I can buy new ships, and aside from the upgrade of the one you start with, they all seem to be pretty horizontal in terms of stats. i personally am not using the heavies or light ships because they only have some models and are not as fleshed out as the medium ships. They all have their strengths and weaknesses and geting a new one is going to take some getting used to. The bomber specializes in secondaries since they use energy instead of amunition.and it has the good old arc 9000 as the ultimate which is great for groups of enemies and single targets. ![]() the gunships special is arsinel which has those 4 weapon mounts) The gunship has 4 weapon mounts for MOAR DAKKA and an ultimate that activates the turret on the top of the ship for EVEN MOAR DAKKA (the turret can be modifed by different actives as well. The scouts special shadow strike makes it extremely powerfull at a range with sniper weapons. if its an unintended side effect might as well make it a feature?) The vanguards time extenter slows down time and gives you more time to react (a far stretch from everspace classics time extender device though.ironically it operates like the bugged version of the time extender in everspace classic. relying in high shield, weaker hull, and more energy as well as being a medium ship, its a good starting point. Sentinels are ballanced with their ultimate static overload which arcs lightening doing damage to all targets near the target youre shooting at. but its not that great for groups of targets ![]() Weapon overdrive on the interceptors however is great for taking on targets one at a time. ![]() I personally love strikers because of the quantum tether that shreds groups of enemies.though it is a rather situational ultimate and does no good in a solo fight. If you like maneuverability check out the scout or vanguard. If you like dealing damage as a damage tank try out the bomber or the gunship. If you like fighting, i would reccomend trying out a striker or an interceptor. They all have different spcials as well that alter the way each ship can be played.Īnd htey have what i think are actives that can vary from ship to ship within the same subclass. They all have different ultimates which greately change how you can handle a dire situation. At the moment, there are 2 lights, 3 mediums, and 2 heavies ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() For that reason, experts continued to express concerns that a large volume of cases in a particular area could overwhelm medical centers, making it difficult to treat severe cases. Some people infected with Omicron and its subvariants have still developed severe disease and had to go to the hospital, and some died. But people 65 or older or who have a weak immune system are at higher risk of the virus traveling to the lower respiratory tract, causing severe illness. Experts say that the summer uptick in cases and hospitalizations in 2023 is much lower than COVID-19 spikes in previous years. So far, Omicron strains have tended to be mostly mild, causing a runny nose, sore throat, and other cold-like symptoms, as opposed to lower respiratory tract symptoms. The second question has been whether Omicron and its subvariants are more likely than their predecessors to cause severe disease. Omicron caused an alarming spike in COVID-19 cases in South Africa-they went from 300 a day in mid-November 2021 to 3,000 a day at the end of that month. As new variants have emerged, the first question has been how transmissible each one is compared to its predecessor.Īccording to the CDC, the Omicron variant spreads more easily than the original SARS-CoV-2 virus and Delta, an early variant. Are Omicron and its strains more transmissible-or deadlier-than previous variants?įrom the beginning, two important questions about Omicron were top of mind for scientists, says Dr. XBB.1.16 (or "Arcturus") was the prevalent strain before it was surpassed by EG.5. But, as of early September 2023, CDC estimates showed a long list of circulating Omicron subvariants, including more than a dozen XBB strains. Both the WHO and the CDC classified it as a "variant of concern."Įxcept in rare cases, the original version of Omicron is no longer circulating-neither is the original strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the early, more severe Alpha and Delta variants. As people around the world welcomed a new year (2022), the variant continued to surge more quickly than any previous strain in many areas. Omicron was the predominant strain in the U.S. ![]() On December 1 of that year, the CDC confirmed the first case in the U.S., in an individual in California who had returned from South Africa in November. Omicron was initially identified in Botswana and South Africa in November 2021-although later reports showed earlier cases in the Netherlands. Omicron: A ‘variant of concern’ with potentially different symptomsįirst, some background. Thomas Murray, MD, PhD, a Yale Medicine pediatric infectious diseases specialist, and Nathan Grubaugh, PhD, an epidemiologist at the Yale School of Public Health, commented on what we know so far. ![]() Tracking Omicron and its variants can easily become confusing-even overwhelming, but Yale Medicine follows these variants, and the CDC provides weekly updates to track them. Spike proteins are how the coronavirus enters human cells, and while unconfirmed, more of them may mean there is a greater chance the strain will be more transmissible and more likely to cause severe disease. Scientists are eager to learn about the more than 30 mutations seen in Pirola’s spike protein (compared to one mutation for EG.5). In August, the spotlight turned toward yet another Omicron strain, BA.2.86, unofficially nicknamed “Pirola.” Little is known about Pirola, and so far, there are relatively few reported cases, but it has been identified in several countries, including the U.S., suggesting it may be spreading more widely than people realize. While some experts believe EG.5 has been a possible factor in a summer uptick in COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, scientists are still learning about its potential transmissibility and severity. EG.5, or, informally, “Eris,” rapidly became the dominant SARS-CoV-2 strain in the country. The newest Omicron strain arrived in the United States this past summer. Now, multiple Omicron subvariants are driving most of the COVID-19 cases in the United States. The variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 first surfaced in the United States toward the end of 2021 and spread like wildfire, spawning new sub-strains-some more transmissible than others. In the battle against COVID-19, Omicron has been a difficult opponent. Because information about COVID-19 changes rapidly, we encourage you to visit the websites of the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), World Health Organization (WHO), and your state and local government for the latest information.
