![]() ![]() Due to their smaller chain length and lower molecular weight, LMWH has better activity against factor-Xa and inhibits thrombin to a lesser degree. Smaller heparin fragments cannot bind antithrombin and thrombin simultaneously. The primary difference between unfractionated heparin and enoxaparin is their relative inhibition of thrombin (factor-IIa) and factor-Xa. Enoxaparin is an indirect anticoagulant that binds and potentiates antithrombin III (serine protease inhibitor) through a specific pentasaccharide sequence to form a complex that irreversibly inactivates factor Xa. It has a quick onset of action when given in the intravenous form. To protect young children from poisoning, always lock safety caps and immediately place the medication in a safe location – one that is up and away and out of their sight and reach.Enoxaparin is low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) with a mean molecular weight of 4000 to 5000 Daltons. It is important to keep all medication out of sight and reach of children as many containers (such as weekly pill minders and those for eye drops, creams, patches, and inhalers) are not child-resistant and young children can open them easily. See the FDA's Safe Disposal of Medicines website ( ) for more information if you do not have access to a take-back program. Talk to your pharmacist or contact your local garbage/recycling department to learn about take-back programs in your community. Instead, the best way to dispose of your medication is through a medicine take-back program. However, you should not flush this medication down the toilet. Unneeded medications should be disposed of in special ways to ensure that pets, children, and other people cannot consume them. Do not use the syringe if it leaks or if the fluid is dark or contains particles. Store the syringes at room temperature and away from excess heat and moisture (not in the bathroom). Keep this medication out of reach of children. Do not rub the site after you give the shot. Hold onto the skin the entire time you give the shot. Push the entire needle into the skin and then press down on the syringe plunger to inject the drug. Lie down and pinch a fold of skin between your finger and thumb.Do not push any air or drug out of the syringe before giving the shot unless your healthcare provider tells you to. Look at the syringe to be sure the drug is clear and colorless or pale yellow.Wash your hands and the area of skin where you will give the shot.To inject enoxaparin, follow these instructions: Keep syringes and needles out of reach of children. Your doctor, pharmacist, or health care provider will tell you how to dispose of used needles and syringes to avoid accidental injury. Do not use the syringe and needle more than one time. Each syringe has enough drug in it for one shot. If you have questions about where to give the shot, ask your healthcare provider. You must use a different area of the stomach each time you give the shot. Enoxaparin is usually injected in the stomach area. Your healthcare provider will teach you how to give yourself the shot or arrangements will be made for someone else to give you the shot. Do not stop taking enoxaparin without talking to your doctor. Do not inject more or less of it or inject it more often than prescribed by your doctor.Ĭontinue to use enoxaparin even if you feel well. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. You will probably begin using the drug while you are in the hospital and then use it for a total of 10 to 14 days. Enoxaparin comes as an injection in a syringe to be injected just under the skin (subcutaneously) but not into your muscle. ![]() ![]() ![]() A lighter hammer was fitted and the bell rotated to present an undamaged section to the hammer.

Why is the Big Ben clock tower a famous landmark?īig Ben is over 150 years old and is one of London’s famous landmarks. 1 Why is the Big Ben clock tower a famous landmark?.No foreign visitors are permitted inside, so any British citizen who hasn’t seen it yet don’t know how much of an exclusive opportunity they have. In fact, if you are waiting to take an internal tour of Big Ben, you have to be from the UK. Going outside will provide a much louder sound, despite the buildings being attached.įinally, just who are the owners of Big Ben? Every tax paying citizen of the UK! The building is owned by the citizens of the country it resides in, much like the entire Palace of Westminster. Surprisingly, it is actually much quieter inside the Palace of Westminster. It can be heard for miles in and around London. If you were to stand right next to the bells as they chimed, your entire body would vibrate. The chimes could actually be changed, yet it would likely not go well in the eyes of the British public, who have long listened to the famous chime in times of celebration, such as New Year’s Day and the London Olympics.Īs you can imagine, the chimes are rather loud. They chime every quarter of an hour, playing the world famous Westminster chimes. There are also four nameless quarter bells inside the belfry. ![]() There is currently no way of ever knowing for sure with the mysterious origin of the name adding to Big Ben’s history. Others claim it is more likely to be Benjamin Hall, a civil engineer who oversaw the installation of Big Ben. There are a few suggestions as to where the name came from, with British heavyweight boxer Benjamin Caunt. As it is the name for the actually giant bell inside, many have assumed by extension it is the name of the entire tower. No one is actually sure about the naming of Big Ben. The first ever chiming from the clock and bell came that same year, on July 11 th. The bell Big Ben was first cast in 1858, with the clock face being completed in 1859. Many parts of Big Ben are over 150 years old, making it one of the oldest and best-maintained clock towers in the world. ![]() It also holds the record for being the second largest four-faced chiming clock in the world, only behind the Minneapolis City Clock. The Clock Tower is attached to the Palace of Westminster, which is the home to the UK government, but the entire tower is commonly referred to as Big Ben by most Brits. Until 2012 it was known as simply the Clock Tower until it was officially renamed the Elizabeth Tower in honour of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee celebration. Whilst commonly known as Big Ben, this is actually the name of the bell that resides within the clock tower. The first thing worth mentioning is the proper name of the clock tower. ![]() ![]() Best Alternatives to Acronis True Image.What Can Disk Imaging Software Do for Me?.Macrium Reflect freeware worked flawlessly to clone to an SSD which is now my boot drive. Even Amazon users are giving Acronis bad reviews.Īnd then there's the subscription! No way! Acronis itself admits it sometimes has problems with RAID drivers. Dell uses RAID drivers by default the past few years, not AHCI. And when you do, there could still be problems. As many of you probably know, you need to F12 into a pre-OS legacy menu to boot from a USB device. I have UEFI so I can't readily designate boot order. When I contacted tech support they said I had to boot with a flash drive which was easy enough to create within Acronis. Then it recognized it and the process failed. Acronis True Image 2021 couldn't recognize an external USB that was to be the destination drive. Why? Bloatware that has led to the neglect of the core functions. With this kind of behavior, I would not trust Acronis to be around by then.Īfter over 10 years with Acronis, I too am calling it quits. A backup must be usable 10 years from now. I am both a home user and a corporate user, and in neither of those cases would I trust something as important as a backup to a subscription license. This is obvious as they continue to sell perpetual licenses in some markets, but not in others. Acronis think they can use old trick of making more money by trying to force customers to pay more for features they do not want, and if the home users do not accept that, just leave them to the competition and focus on their corporate portfolio. Their published reasons just sounds like the usual marketing speak, and anyone that's been in the business for a while can see that quite easily. I find it hard to see any other reason for this.

There are other backup solution providers that would LOVE to have my occasional business without sucking me into a annual subscription.Įdit: It is already bad enough that Acronis pushes their promotional pop-ups to ATI with no obvious method to disable them. I see this move as way to Acronis to try and push their anti-virus software onto what Acronis should consider valued/loyal ATI customers. I was expected to purchase ATI 2021 to get the expected functionality that should have been INLCUDED in ATI 2020.Īnd then after not completing ATI 2020, anti-virus functionality was added to ATI 2021 that just about crippled computers without a avenue to disable the unwanted "feature." IMO, ATI is no longer a backup product tool, it is anti-virus software. Especially since ATI 2020 lacked basic features that were omitted due to what I feel was a lack of effort on Acronis' part to provide a complete/finished/polished product.

The average homeowner sells their home every 13 years, so they’re not necessarily concerned about how climate change will impact their property 20 or 30 years from now. One of the reasons homes located in high-risk areas for flooding have continued to sell is that homeowners typically don’t plan on living in their homes forever. Should I Worry About How Flooding Impacts My Property Value? Overall, while 's metrics may not be perfect, they can give you an idea of overall risk for the local area, and also help you predict what sort of flood insurance you’ll want (or be required to have). ![]() After all, the average homeowner only stays in their home for 13 years - so they could manage to live in a "flood prone" area without ever seeing a flood, by this metric. Part of the reason the scoring may seem "off" to some people is that it doesn't predict what will happen in a single year, but rather, the likelihood of it happening over many years. ![]() We never know when there will be heavy rainfall.” Anecdotally, it is not a good predictor of a home’s vulnerability to flooding. The Flood Factor™ scoring system ranges from 1 (minimal risk) to 10 (extreme risk) - as determined by the cumulative likelihood and potential depth of flooding over the next 15-30 years.Ĭharles Leduc, Chief Operations Officer at Mold Busters, a company that deals with mold that occurs after flooding, observes that “We have had several customers mention the inaccuracy of ’s Flood Factor assessments to us while performing mold remediations. In other words, Flood Factor won't account for any efforts prior homeowners have made to flood-proof their home. Similar to FEMA's projection, though, Flood Factor only evaluates the likelihood of water reaching the building footprint, not its interior. Here is more information on FEMA flood zones and what they mean.įlood Factor™, on the other hand, uses data from the First Street Foundation Flood Model, a nationwide flood model that calculates the likelihood of a flood based on a location’s history and geographic information - including elevation, changes in the environment, climate, and proximity to water. Flood zones are identified by letters (such as V, which indicates a high-risk coastal zone). An area that has been labeled 1/10 risk may have actually experienced numerous floods over the past several years. ![]() How a property's flood information appears on įEMA’s flood zone information is also in need of an update - a 2017 report found that many of their maps were out of date due to budget concerns, and only 42% of their flood maps currently reflected accurate flood risk projections. This means that, although a home might be located in a fairly high-risk area for flooding, it’s possible that its current owners have taken steps to mitigate the threat (such as creating a slope away from the home) or that the home was built to withstand flooding in the first place (such as a stilt foundation). The FEMA flood zone score is accurate for the area, not for the individual home. offers two scores, and one might prove more reliable than the other. Scientists and climate experts are predicting that flooding will increase over the next several decades as climate change causes more extreme weather conditions and rising sea levels - so it’s a risk worth paying attention to. “So, whether you’re buying or selling a home, understanding a property’s potential risk for flooding is important for making informed real estate decisions.” Even smaller events can have a devastating impact,” notes the web site. “Floods are among the most common and costly natural disasters in the United States, and the truth is, they can strike anywhere. Flooding can be the result of low elevation/high water table/proximity to a body of water, or it can be the result of a major event, such as Hurricane Sandy. It can have devastating consequences both for an individual property, as well as an overall neighborhood if flooding is persistent. ’s goal in adding the flood assessment score is to give homebuyers an additional diagnostic tool when it comes to evaluating their potential home for future risks.įlooding represents a huge risk to homes.
