![]() However, if you’re willing to persevere and hit the correct menu items in the correct order, you’re dropped into a VR experience that’s nearly flawless. It’s fair to say then that getting in to play the game with Oculus Rift mode enabled is painful. However, Assetto Corsa’s menus seem to have been unknowingly designed to be utterly incomprehensible and tortuous when peering sideways into your DK2. Now, this is something Rift early adopters are becoming accustomed to it’s our cross to bear for being on the cutting edge to some extent. Thankfully, soon after, the release was swiftly patched fixing most of the issues above, bar one fairly major one-no VR menu support. Poor scale, incorrect FOV and lacking 3D / stereoscopy, it had the VR community sharpening pitchforks. The first RC1 release was broken for the DK2 in just about every way. Given the extensive wait since the last major release of the game and the early promise of Oculus Rift support to those supporting the Steam Early Access version, it’s fair to say that Assetto Corsa’s DK2 support was initially a huge disappointment. ![]() Stealth Action Classic 'Budget Cuts' Comes to PSVR 2 & Quest with 'Ultimate' Edition in June And now, with the latest RC1 update, the game now sports Oculus Rift DK2 support. It was incredibly rough around the edges, but even then I had a hard time concentrating on the track, so powerful was the VR effect and my tendency to be distracted by the grandness of the scenery. It’s been some time since we sat down with a very early version of Assetto Corsa on the DK1. Assetto Corsa is another title which clearly seems to have struggled diverting enough time to support for VR headset users, but when Assetto Corsa gets it right, it’s a flawed revelation! Assetto Corsa DK2 Support Disappoints then Astounds The problem is, with no commercial release of the Oculus Rift yet announced, companies producing triple-A titles with VR support are hedging their bets in terms of developer time allocation. See Also: Racing with the Oculus Rift and a $60,000 Racing Simulator ![]() So it’s intriguing to think that a single virtual reality headset might be enough to trump all of that. Custom racing seats with triple monitors, and force feedback wheels are not uncommon setups among the dedicated, willing to spend to chase that dream. Racing enthusiasts are one demographic of gaming capable of taking their hobby to extremes to achieve realism and an immersive driving experience. And, after a period of drought for VR racers, Kunos Simulazioni’s visually sumptuous racer Assetto Corsa was recently updated to RC1 and with it came Oculus Rift DK2 support. This means that racing games are a match made in heaven for the DK2. Oculus have prescribed that for this generation of its VR headsets, the target experience is resolutely a seated one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This will isolate you from the rest of your browser sessions, protecting you from malicious attempts to steal your credentials.

I love to find toys just like I had when I was a kid! Or to go to antique stores or flea markets and say, Evan, look at this. One of the things I love about having a kid is having an excuse to relive my own childhood. As with most nostalgic things that entered my mind, I thought it deserved a little reflection. ![]() It will be missed.Romper Room was our television preschool, or nursery school back in the day. ![]() It was truly a gem in the world of Children's television. This show had its minor faults and could be a pain to local editors and even local hostesses, but this show was a hit with the late Boomers and Generation Xers. Sadly during the 1980s many stations began to drop the show and move on to other things. The stations that still wanted to produce Romper Room on a local level still had that option, and cut ins with the new characters were produced so that the local stations were able to insert those characters in their local versions. The main show was hosted by Molly McCloskey (who did a local version in New York before and after taping the syndicated), and three new characters were introduced Kimble (think of him as an oversized lost cousin of Cookie Monster), Granny Cat, and a clown puppet named Up-Up. To remedy this Romper Room was retitled "Romper Room & Friends" in 1981. This show held it's ground for three decades, by 1981 due to an increasing demand from TV stations that wanted a syndicated version of Romper Room. The "Magic Mirror" at the end of the show was a way that the Romper Room teacher could reach out to the kids that were watching from home, and who could forget the show's popular mascot Do-Bee. Regardless of any version, Romper Room was a show in which children could play games, read stories, and learned about those things that children needed to know about. Nancy also did the Baltimore version of the show, and was replaced by her daughter Sally Claster in order to focus on training more Romper Room teachers.īert and Nancy also provided the much of the props and set design for the local version as well. Nancy Claster trained the local hostess herself, and they all had a college education. They gave local TV stations the option broadcasting the main version out of Baltimore (Chicago in the 70s and back to Baltimore in 1981) via syndication or producing their "own" local version of Romper Room ie Franchising which many TV stations that brought the rights to Romper Room did. The Clasters turned down the offer from CBS, but still wanted to bring Romper Room to all of America, but in their own unique way. This show however got the attention from the folks at CBS who wanted to bring Romper Room on a national level. In 1953 this was only station that Romper Room was seen. This TV preschool of sorts was created by Bert & Nancy Claster and begin on WBAL in Baltimore, MD. I hope that these shows will be released for future generations to enjoy. I always ended my shows with a wink after the magic mirror. Since this was the last show in the last Romper Room version in the US, many of the tapes were archived at KTVU and I have copies of most of them as well. My shows were filmed at KTVU in the San Francisco Bay Area. I was trained by Sally Claster Bell in Pacific Palisades, California. The shows were taped on weekends and later, on Monday evenings. I also taught preschool and kindergarten. I was a teacher at the time and I was the first real classroom teacher to host the show. I am also the only African American host of the show. "I was the last Romper Room Teacher in Northern California, Miss Sharon. In 2006 "Miss Sharon" posted the following message on IMBb: The only African-American hostess of Romper Room, Miss Sharon was featured on the show from 1987-1992, which was filmed at KTVU in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she was the final teacher on the last Romper Room in the United States. ![]() Sally Claster Bell hired and trained "Miss Sharon" in Pacific Palisades, California. "Miss Sharon" was the last Romper Room host in Northern California, who before being hired, was a fourth grade teacher. " Miss Nancy" Besst became the host of Romper Room in 1958, which was originally broadcast on KGO and then later from KTVU. The show was originally out of Baltimore, and the Oakland / San Francisco Bay Area had its very own franchised version which was broadcast from KTVU in Oakland for most of the show's run. Romper Room was a much beloved children's television show on KTVU from the 1950's up until 1992. ![]() ![]() ![]() Specific airway inflammatory cell types reflected different airway inflammatory phenotypes. Chronic airway inflammation in COPD exacerbations with increased numbers of inflammatory cell, such as neutrophils, eosinophils, macrophages, and lymphocytes, are response to different parts of the lung and lead to structural changes. Acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) are defined as an acute worsening of respiratory symptoms that result in additional therapy and important events in the management of COPD because they negatively impact health status, rates of hospitalization and readmission, and disease progression. Due to weak relationship and poor predictive ability, more researches should be required.Ĭhronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common, preventable and treatable disease that is characterized by persistent respiratory symptoms and airflow limitation that is due to airway and/or alveolar abnormalities usually caused by significant exposure to noxious particles or gases. Eosinophils in blood and the ratios (ENR, EMR and ELR) may be utilized to assess eosinophilic airway inflammation in COPD exacerbations. ConclusionĮosinophils/neutrophils count parameters were relationship between blood and sputum. ELR, eosinophil/monocyte ratio (EMR) and eosinophil/neutrophil ratio (ENR) in blood were higher in COPD exacerbations with mixed granulocytic and eosinophilic subtypes. Blood eosinophils absolute count was also predictive sputum eosinophilia at 0.35 × 10 9/L (AUC = 0.626, p = 0.025). The optimum cutpoint for blood eosinophils percentage was 0.55%. Blood eosinophils percentage was predictive for eosinophilic COPD exacerbations with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.672 ( p = 0.012). Sputum neutrophils had not any association with neutrophil/macrophage ratio (NMR) and eosinophil/lymphocyte ratio (ELR) in blood. There was a weaker relationship to neutrophils between sputum and blood. There was a correlation between sputum eosinophils and blood eosinophils, blood cells derived ratios. This study evaluated 287 patients with COPD exacerbations and all four tests were performed on the same day, which are lung function test, bronchodilator reversibility test, sputum cell analysis and blood routine examination. For the aim of verifying the hypothesis that venous blood cell can quantify sputum inflammatory cell to access the airway subtypes in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease of acute exacerbations (AECOPD) and to ascertain the accuracy of the blood cell biomarker. The venous blood cell is a reliable and simple biomarker, may be used as an alternative procedure to reflect the subtypes. Measurement of sputum is frequently used to define airway inflammatory subtypes. ![]() ![]() In my testing, Quick Support worked great and provided a seamless experience for those viewing my screen broadcast.
