Costco tires signal hill12/24/2023 ![]() I asked how come your mechanic could not find the key? It is there in the car inside the toolbox. I came again at the Costco Etobicoke Tyre Center. The dealer showed me the key along with the toolbox inside the car. I went to the dealer as my car is new and they should provide me the key. ![]() When I went for the replacement as per my appointment, the mechanic said I can't find a special key in your car which is required for replacement. Also I paid online for their tyre replacement. ![]() I purchased 4 winter tyres of Michelin from Costco for my Audi Q5. I can heartily recommend the Gypsum Costco tire center!” At the end they even refunded the tire disposal fee, because I was keeping the old tires. I watched them work and they were very thorough and professional. When I arrived the tires were there, and they were ready to put them on. One key may be using the new appointment site at. I bought 4 new Bridgestone Blizzak tires on Costco's online site, got a great price, and had great service when I got there. “I never write reviews, but my experience at the Costco Tire Center in Gypsum, Colorado was so good compared to what I read in the reviews online, that I want to let people know. There are constructions everywhere and there are high risks for having flat tires. Because they provide very good warranty for flat tires. I think that this is the best place to buy tires. They replaced it with a brand new one, because they couldn't repair it. “I bought my Michelin winter tires recently. Then, there’s the five-year road hazard guarantee and lifetime maintenance, which includes free tire balancing and tire flat repairs.Ĭonsumer Affairs Collects reviews on companies of all types, including Costco’s tire services. Why to Choose Costco Tires?Ĭostco carries the same major tire brands that everyone else does, so why shop with them? Well, for starters, the warehouse giant beats every single one of its competitors on pricing, some by quite a lot.Ĭostco also offers neat perks, such as free lifetime nitrogen refills in tires that it sells, which retains tire pressure better than the compressed air that the quickie tire shop down the street from your house offers. ![]() This warranty covers tires that have “become unserviceable due to cuts, non-repairable punctures, or impact damage.” The retailer’s tire shop will inspect the tire to determine the amount of tread-life left and will issue a credit to buy new tires based on the remaining useful life of the damaged tire. Though the tires Costco sells are covered by manufacturers’ warranties against defects from the factory, Costco adds a five-year road hazard warranty to the tires it sells and installs. ![]()

Katy perry witness memes12/23/2023 ![]() ![]() This article originally appeared on The Industry Observer, which is now part of The Music Network. You can read more about that here.Ĭurrently, the clip has clocked over 7.3 million views in under 24 hours.Ĭheck out Katy Perry’s ‘Swish Swish’ clip below. More likely though, Katy Perry’s team would have inked a licensing deal with Bag Raiders to sample the track.Īs for the many, many meme videos existing on Facebook, the social giant has benefited from the content, whether directly or indirectly, without paying a cent for it. She is referred as the 'Queen of Pop' of her time. This is actually shocking considering Apple pays 0.00735 per stream and Spotify pays 0.00437 (according to Trichordist) – but at least it’s something. Katy Perry discography Studio albums 6 Compilation albums 1 EPs 7 Singles 39 Promotional singles 11 American singer Katy Perry has released six studio albums, seven extended plays (EP), 39 singles (including four as featured artist), and 11 promotional singles. YouTube pays 0.00069 to rights holders per stream. The fact the video is hosted on YouTube – which gives artists the option to monetise their clips – is a clear indication Bag Raiders will be remunerated. While we’ve got no idea about how Bag Raiders feel about their inclusion in the clip yet, it should result in some pretty serious royalties for the duo. It’s strange, it’s weird, but it’s oh-so satisfying for lovers of Aussie music (oh, and memes). The meme generally involves a subject who has been visually manipulated to be falling against a background with a ‘synthwave’ aesthetic while Bag Raiders’ ‘Shooting Stars’ plays in the background, and that’s exactly what Katy Perry’s video employs.Ībout two minutes and ten seconds into the video, Katy Perry is seen falling while shooting a basketball, which instantly sees the clip diverge into meme territory, taking a short break to play ‘Shooting Stars’ while Perry pays homage to the meme. Yes indeed, see, ‘Swish Swish’ happens to reference the famous ‘Shooting Stars’ meme, which has gone completely viral in the last year. But what the clip does feature, is a reference to none other than Sydney’s Bag Raiders. While the video is full of cameos from celebrities from celebrities such as Terry Crews, Molly Shannon, and Gaten Matarazzo from Stranger Things, it doesn’t feature any references to Taylor Swift, which, to Perry’s credit, is pretty honourable. ![]() Featuring guest vocals from Nicki Minaj, the track has long been rumoured to be a diss track, focused towards Taylor Swift’s ‘Bad Blood’, of which Perry is suspected to be the subject. I didn’t do any of that, so I don’t know what happened there.‘Swish Swish’ was originally released back in May from Katy Perry’s record Witness. It was CGI, OK, so that they could de-age me, and I’m fighting a spider. Just seems people want to drag her for not having 1 singles, 1 mil sold in the first week, and being called the best by the media. BUT Im not going to call her a flop when there are receipts showing shes doing better than people everyone is praising. “When I went to the picture, it was me fighting a giant spider,” Cage added. Honestly, Im not a Katy Perry fan, shes basic white girl music. I had no dialogue convey with my eyes the emotion. “Kal-El was bearing witness the end of a universe, and you can imagine with that short amount of time that I had, what that would mean in terms of what I can convey. “What I was supposed to do was literally just be standing in an alternate dimension, if you will, and witnessing the destruction of the universe,” Cage explained to Yahoo. tentpole, Cage’s Man of Steel is seen battling a giant spider as the multiverse begins to collapse, a reference to Tim Burton‘s axed “Superman Lives” movie, which the actor was set to star in. He also criticized his cameo appearance as Superman in “The Flash.” Toward the end of the Warner Bros. You can’t get more inhumane than artificial intelligence.” Variety chief film critic Peter Debruge had strong praise for Cage in the film, hailing his “uncommonly low-key performance.” He adds: “The timeless-looking film engages with up-to-the-minute ideas, from cancel culture to going viral, ultimately revealing itself to be a sly social satire.”Ĭage most recently went viral for his blunt thoughts on artificial intelligence. “AI is a nightmare to me,” he told Yahoo! Entertainment. ![]() “Dream Scenario” stars Cage as a college professor who becomes famous after he inexplicably begins to appear in the dreams of strangers, though his celebrity status faces complications once the world’s visions of him become terrifying. ![]()

Abnormal q12/23/2023 ![]() Asymptomatic infections followed by seroconversion have been reported in up to 60% of cases identified during outbreak investigations ( 6– 8). Although acute Q fever symptoms in humans vary, the condition typically is characterized by a nonspecific febrile illness, hepatitis, or pneumonia. burnetii phase II antigen is predominant and is higher than the response to the phase I antigen, whereas a chronic infection is associated with a rising phase I immunoglobulin G (IgG) titer. During an acute infection, an antibody response to C. Q fever has acute and chronic stages that correspond to two distinct antigenic phases of antibody response. Q fever infections in humans and animals have been reported from every world region except Antarctica ( 6). The national seroprevalence of Q fever is estimated to be 3.1% based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003–2004), and human infections have been reported from every state in the United States ( 5). Since then, reports of Q fever have increased, with 167 cases reported in 2008, an increase greater than ninefold compared with 2000, in which 17 cases were reported ( 4). Q fever was designated a nationally notifiable disease in the United States in 1999. No vaccine is available commercially in the United States. Laboratory diagnosis relies mainly on serology, and doxycycline is the most effective treatment for acute illness. Other modes of transmission to humans, including tick bites, ingestion of unpasteurized milk or dairy products, and human-to-human transmission, are rare ( 1). Infection in humans usually occurs by inhalation of bacteria from air that is contaminated by excreta of infected animals. The causative organism, Coxiella burnetii, is an intracellular bacterium that tends to infect mononuclear phagocytes but can infect other cell types as well. Q fever, first described in 1937, is a worldwide zoonosis that has long been considered an underreported and underdiagnosed illness because symptoms frequently are nonspecific, making diagnosis challenging ( 1– 3). These recommendations will be reviewed approximately every 5 years and updated to include new published evidence. The guidelines address treatment of acute and chronic phases of Q fever illness in children, adults, and pregnant women, as well as management of occupational exposures. ![]() This report provides the first national recommendations issued by CDC for Q fever recognition, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, treatment, management, and reporting for health-care personnel and public health professionals. Because many human infections result in nonspecific or benign constitutional symptoms, establishing a diagnosis of Q fever often is challenging for clinicians. ![]() No licensed vaccine is available in the United States. Transmission occurs primarily through inhalation of aerosols from contaminated soil or animal waste.
