A: Нельзя ключи с пробелами использовать в Redis.

Redis keys
Before to start talking
about the different kind of values
supported by Redis it is better to
start saying that keys are not binary
safe strings in Redis, but just
strings not containing a space or a
newline character. For instance "foo"
or "123456789" or "foo_bar" are valid
keys, while "hello world" or "hello\n"
are not.

Вольный перевод:
Перед тем, как говорить о разных видах значений, поддерживаемых Редис, необходимо сначала сказать, что ключом может быть не любая строка, а только строка, которая не содержат символ пробела или перевода строки. К примеру, строки "foo" или "123456789" или "foo_bar" могут быть использованы в качестве ключа, в то же время строки "hello world" или "hello\n" нет.

Former Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco could be donning a Broncos jersey next season.
It's possible this trade doesn't impact Green Bay's draft, but with quarterback no longer a need for Denver, it could result in one of Brian Gutekunst's top targets no longer being available at No. 12. Flacco signed a contract extension with Baltimore's cap-strapped front office in 2016, which added money to the deal and included a $40 million signing bonus for the veteran.
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Whenever John Elway talks about a deal, a contract, a player or most anything that crosses his desk for the Denver Broncos, two words nearly always sum up his feelings about doing, or not doing, any of it. "Unfortunately, Joe Flacco is no Peyton Manning". Will Flacco be able to help Denver return to the postseason? The Broncos, who fired Vance Joseph at the end of the season, hired Vic Fangio as their new coach. And while it might be the fix the Broncos want in 2019, quarterback still remains their biggest question mark beyond that.
The move ends likely ends Keenum's time as the Broncos starting quarterback after a forgettable 2018 campaign. And in the coming weeks and months the Broncos could try to trade Keenum, release him or, yes, keep him. So has the majority of the National Football League community - and with good reason. However, it's unlikely that Denver's front office views Flacco as the team's long-term answer at quarterback, due to the 34-year-old's age and lack of success in recent seasons. Flacco might be an upgrade over Keenum (key word: might), but if he is, it's a marginal upgrade at best - one that required them to give up draft ammunition.
Bad luck continued for the Avs in the third period, as Kadri tallied his second goal of the game to give the Leafs the 5-1 lead. Trying to make little adjustments, talking amongst the five of us and trying to draw up little plays that possibly could work.

Q: C# Bitmap BitmapImage bitmapsource I have some code I found somewhere on the Net.
unsafe static Bitmap SaveFrame(IntPtr pFrame, int width, int height)
    {
        try
        {
            int x, y;
            int linesize = width * 3;
            byte* scan0 = (byte*)Marshal.ReadIntPtr(pFrame);

            IntPtr bufferPtr = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(linesize * height);
            byte* buffer = (byte*)bufferPtr;

            for (y = 0; y < height; y++)
            {
                for (x = 0; x < linesize; x = x + 3)
                {
                    *buffer++ = (byte)*(scan0 + y * linesize + x + 2);
                    *buffer++ = (byte)*(scan0 + y * linesize + x + 1);
                    *buffer++ = (byte)*(scan0 + y * linesize + x);
                }
            }
            Bitmap b = new Bitmap(width, height, linesize, System.Drawing.Imaging.PixelFormat.Format24bppRgb, bufferPtr);

            return b;
        }
        catch (Exception ex) { throw new Exception(ex.Message); }
    }

This above code gives me a valid Bitmap, However I'm using WPF and want it to be in a BitmapImage
Without going through this process, Im trying the code
byte[] ptr = ....
Marshal.Copy(pFrame, ptr , 0, ptr .Length);
BitmapImage aBitmapImage = new BitmapImage();
aBitmapImage.BeginInit();
aBitmapImage.StreamSource = new MemoryStream(ptr); //FLastImageMemStream;//
aBitmapImage.EndInit();

which does not work...
I have also tried
System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource.Create(width, height, 96, 96,
    System.Windows.Media.PixelFormats.Rgb24, null, bufferPtr,linesize * height,
    width * 3 ));

which also does not give me an image it seems (after assigning it to the Source property of Image)
Can anyone give me any hints?
Thanks
Allen

A: Loading the data directly into the BitmapImage didn't work because it's expecting data in an image file format, like you'd see in a .bmp or .png file. You supplied raw pixel data instead.
Your second approach looks like it should work but has some unnecessary steps to it. The code you found is rewriting the pixel data from BGR24 to RGB24, but you should be able to just load it in directly as BGR24:
System.Windows.Media.Imaging.BitmapSource.Create(width, height, 96, 96,
    System.Windows.Media.PixelFormats.Bgr24, null, pFrame, linesize * height,
    width * 3 ));

Anyway, do you have any details on why it's not giving you an image? Did you get any exceptions when creating the bitmap? Did it give the wrong colors or wrong size? Are you sure all the source data is there? What do you see on the properties of the BitmapSource after you create it?

A: Load a WPF BitmapImage from a System.Drawing.Bitmap

Bitcoin's Early Days: Reporter Recalls $200K Sushi Dinner After Spending 10 BTC, Former Bitcoin Dev Sells 55,000 BTC for Under $30 a Coin
By admin Daily Updates 0 Comments
As bitcoin touched an all-time price high this week, the tech reporter at the New York Times, Kashmir Hill, recalled how she spent 10 BTC ($224k) for a sushi dinner for a couple of dozen strangers. Hill wrote about the dining experience in a recent article called "How I Blew My Bitcoin on Sushi: My $200,000 Sushi Dinner." Additionally, the early bitcoiner Martti Malmi wrote about how he sold 55,000 BTC which would now be worth over $1.2 billion.
Journalist Spends 10 BTC on a Sushi Dinner With Strangers in 2013
The price of bitcoin (BTC) has climbed to new price heights this past week and a few people have been writing about spending coins in the early days.
For instance, the well known New York Times (NYT) tech columnist Kashmir Hill recently wrote about her experience living on bitcoins for a whole week in 2013. Hill said she spent $136 per coin on Coinbase at the time, and one evening spent 10 BTC ($224k) on a sushi dinner.
"Back in May 2013, I spent in one night what would be worth approximately $200,000 today on raw fish and shrimp tempura rolls for people I had just met," Hill said of her week-long crypto experience.
"I was a reporter at Forbes magazine at the time covering technology and privacy. Bitcoin had come on my radar as a privacy-protective technology allowing people to make anonymous online purchases, kind of like paying cash in the real world."
NYT reporter Kashmir Hill spent 10 BTC on a sushi dinner at a restaurant called the Sake Zone. Because he accepted bitcoin (BTC) back in the early days, Sake Zone owner Yung Chen managed to retire after collecting 41 BTC over the years.
On the very last night of her week-long bitcoin spending spree, she decided to celebrate by having a sushi dinner at a place called the Sake Zone. She opened an invitation to complete strangers on Reddit and booked a table for 15 or more at Yung Chen's Sake Zone.
Then years later after the spending experiment in 2020, Hill called the restaurant's owner Yung Chen to see how he was doing. Thanks to his merchant acceptance at the time including Hill's 10 BTC dinner, Chen managed to acquire around 41 BTC ($923,000). Chen and his wife decided to retire after being "tired of the long hours," Hill wrote.
Sake Zone owner Yung Chen said:
The Bitcoin has become one of the major saving assets in my portfolio. It's a lot. It's close to like a half-million dollars in my account.
Martti Malmi: 'I'd Be a Billionaire Now if I Hadn't Sold the 55,000 Bitcoins I Mined'
In another story, the early bitcoiner Martti Malmi recalled this week how he would have been a billionaire if he didn't sell 55k BTC back in the day. Malmi was a Bitcoin developer between 2009 and 2011.
"I'd be a *billionaire* now if I hadn't sold the 55,000 bitcoins I mined on my laptop in 2009-2010 way too early (mostly before 2012)," Malmi tweeted on Friday. "That is regretful, but then again, with the early bitcoiners we set in motion something greater than personal gain," he added.
Early bitcoiner Martti Malmi was Bitcoin software developer between 2009 and 2011. This week Malmi recalled spending 55k BTC and if he hadn't spent the coins he'd be a billionaire today. Malmi was able to snag a nice studio apartment in 2011 with some of his bitcoins.
Malmi also remembered how he ran a bitcoin exchange for a while in 2010. "At the time, there was no established exchange rate, and I operated it more like a bitcoin faucet than a business, ending up with 30,000 BTC less," Malmi said. The early bitcoin proponent said that he did get a bit more than just two Papa John's pizzas.
Malmi further tweeted:
In 2011 when the exchange rate peaked at $15-$30, I sold over 10,000 BTC to buy a fairly comfortable studio apartment near Helsinki. Big deal for a 22-year-old who never had much money. Probably the most expensive studio in the world now, but at least I got more than 2 pizzas.
Malmi recalled a time in 2011 when he offered a 1,000 BTC bounty for "getting a major business to accept bitcoin," and said it was never claimed. After he decided to hold his BTC but then had to sell most at "a bad rate (~$5) in 2012 when finding a new job took longer than expected." The early adopter said that he's kept "varying amount of savings in BTC" and he's happy about the recent price development.
"Thank you, Satoshi and others who have made Bitcoin what it is today," Malmi concluded. "May it bring peace and prosperity to the world. Long live Bitcoin."

Hello and welcome to Year 5 class page. Here is where you can find out more about what we are currently learning. As the school year progresses, we will be showing you pictures and examples of the exciting learning that goes on in year 5. Please take time to read the letter sent home with some more information on how you can help your child at home with their learning. In Year 5 we are all committed to the learning of children in the classroom and want to make sure that everyone in the class develops as a learner and a member of the community.
Happy New Year! We hope you all had a good break and are well rested for the busy year ahead.
Our first topic for the Spring Term is 'The Rainforest' during which we will learn about rainforest climates, global warming, deforestation and plants and animals. Our second topic is 'Earth, Moon and Sun' during which we will investigate day and night, phases of the moon, months and years and features of the Earth in space.
This term we are also looking forward to our residential trip to Kench Hill which will be taking place in March.
Maths will cover a range of topics with a focus on number work. We ask that you spend time at home making sure the children have instant recall of their times tables and related division facts to 12x12. The Spring Slam will be taking place again this term!
PE for Year 5 will be on a Tuesday afternoon. Children will need to bring a PE kit, including trainers, to change into. If there is a medical reason that your child is unable to do PE please send in a note.
We would like to remind you that learning starts at 9 o'clock and children can come up to the classroom from 8:50. Make-up and jewellery, with the exception of stud ear-rings and a watch are not allowed. All children are expected to wear full school uniform, including dark shoes, at all times.
Home learning this term will include: fortnightly spelling lists, maths homework sheets linked to our classroom learning and English comprehension or grammar homework. Some homework, such as interactive activities, games or word processing tasks, will be posted on the VLE (Virtual Learning Environment). Your child already has a log in and password.
As always, we expect children to read at home for at least 20 minutes every day and complete their reading records.
If you should have any questions or concerns regarding your child, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The end is nigh. Once again, my suitcases are packed and cardboard boxes filled, ready to be crammed haphazardly in my car and trundled off somewhere new (not really, it's back to Manchester again. Curse you, long-distance relationships). Before that particular date arrives, however, I'm living out of my suitcases in an echoing and empty flat. All the furniture, apart from my bed, left with my flatmate so this spacious living situation is unusual and somewhat liberating.
There is now no kitchen table to skirt around to make a cup of tea. What luxury it is to walk directly from kettle to sink and back again. I can eat dinner in bed now there are no chairs. I can walk around naked (even though it's quite cold. I should have done it when there was furniture for the insulation).
Strangely, one of the most thrilling aspects of this empty flat is the cosy idea of camping indoors. Like normal camping I only have limited kitchen supplies, including one saucepan, one bowl, a chopping board and a couple of knives. Along with a duvet, blanket and hot water bottle I can snuggle down with my one bowl of something warm and comforting. I can't tell you how tempting it is to erect a tent in here, apart from the fact it's completely unnecessary what with the roof and all. And a lighting a camp fire would probably get me evicted. Instead, I have a handy kitchen stove, so with my one saucepan and one chopping board and couple of knives I made myself a 'one-saucepan' supper last night.
Like one-pot dinners, a one-saucepan meal greatly reduces the washing up, but as I literally have nothing else to cook with there can't be any side dishes, such as vegetables, potatoes, rice or pasta. Therefore, every component needs to be mixed, simmered and dolled out altogether. Stews, curries and chillies are all packed with meat and veg, however, some call for couscous, some for mashed potato, some for rice. I don't have a second pan let alone a potato masher. So I was called to the internet and rewarded with the idea of a tagine with quinoa cooked in its fruity tomato sauce for the carby, filling accompaniment.
I combined a couple of chicken tagine recipes, resulting in something very simple with only a few ingredients, otherwise my one chopping board would get overcrowded. Traditionally made in a terracotta tagine, these North African stews are baked for hours, the steam drifting up and down the conical lid to keep the meat succulent. Mine was made on the hob in a tiny non-stick saucepan so I don't think I can classify it as a tagine, more like a stew crammed with dried apricots and slivers of orange peel the fragrant fruity flavour. Usually served with couscous or bread to mop up the juices, the addition of quinoa thickened the sauce, absorbing excess liquid and filling the dish. Scattered with parsley my camping dinner was colourful and hearty, and so I hunkered down under my blankets in my strangely empty flat to eat.
Cook this in the spirit of camping! I don't have scales or even a measuring jug so the quantity is based on how much I can fit in my little saucepan. Add this and that, substitute apricots for dates or take out the preserved lemon (I'm certain mine is out of date anyway).
Chop the chicken into chunks. Heat some oil in your saucepan and, once hot, add the chicken. Sear in the hot oil until all the raw pink flesh has disappeared although the centres will still be raw. Remove from the pan.
Dice the onion and cook until soft – about five minutes.
Return the chicken to the pan along with the ras el hanout, apricots, orange peel and preserved lemon. Sauté gently for a couple of minutes to allow the flavours to meld.
Boil the kettle for the stock cube. Pour the chopped tomatoes into the pan and stir altogether.
Put the stock cube in the empty tomatoes carton and pour in enough hot water to fill it. Pour all, or as much as you can fit, into the saucepan. Gently stir the stew, then top with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove a chunk of chicken and pierce with a sharp knife to check the juices are running clear and the meat is no longer pink.
Rinse the quinoa and add to the bubbling tagine – or, again, as much as you can fit. Season with a little salt, then cover with the lid again and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until the quinoa is cooked and tender.
Once cooked leave the stew to stand for five minutes off the heat.
Dollop into bowls and sprinkle with parsley.

Final energy consumption distribution in Finland 2017, by sector
Distribution of final energy consumption in Finland in 2017, by sector (in terajoules)
by Agnete Lundetræ Jürgensen, last edited Apr 23, 2019
This statistic displays the sectoral distribution of end use energy consumption in Finland in 2017. During that year, final consumption of energy was mostly done by the industry sector with over 517,700 terajoules. The second largest end user of energy was building space heating with approximately 287,900 terajoules of energy. Others-sector, consisting of households, public and private services, agriculture and forestry, and construction consumed roughly 129,900 terajoules of final energy.
Final energy consumption in terajoules
The source adds the following information: "This table describes the end use of energy in different sectors (electricity, district heat, direct fuel use). Here end-use sectors do not comprise losses of electricity and heat generation and fuel refining. Final consumption of energy in industry differs from the corresponding figures in the balance sheet, because the fuels used by industry and by energy production are specified in more detail in the balance sheet. The concept of final consumption used for the "Transport" sector in the energy balance sheet also differs from the concept used here."

Gov. Ralph Northam issued his first veto of the year yesterday, rejecting a Republican backed proposal that would pressure state police to expedite concealed handgun permits for out-of-state residents. The proposal, sponsored by Delegate Brenda Pogge, would automatically grant concealed handgun permits to nonresidents if the Virginia State Police doesn't review their applications within 90 days.
An emergency medical technician in Southwest Virginia who was suspended after reports he was a frequent co-host of a neo-Nazi podcast has now been fired. JEB Stuart Rescue Squad's board of directors voted Sunday to fire 35-year-old Alex McNabb, Richmond Times-Dispatch reported. The Huffington Post's Dec. 8 report said McNabb told stories about being an EMT on "The Daily Shoah," often referring to patients by racist slurs.

Diverse voices build the ITF Summit
Video of Diverse voices build the ITF Summit
The ITF Summit is more than an annual event. It is a year-round dialogue that connects diverse voices from the transport sector and beyond. This unique process unites a wide variety of actors towards a common goal: better transport policies for better lives.
To foster that dialogue, the ITF welcomed over 40 representatives from international organisations in Paris, France, on 28 January 2020. Speaking for interests ranging from finance to pedestrianisation, these stakeholders shared their views on how this year's theme of "transport innovation" can advance their goals.
Back-to-back with that event, a consultation on "Gender in Transport" (photos) tackled the question of how innovation can help resolve gender inequalities. In his introductory remarks, ITF Secretary-General Young Tae Kim underlined the importance of evidence-based analysis. "It is important to go beyond ideologies and bring concrete evidence on the importance of gender inclusion in the transport sector", he hold participants.
The discussions will help build the programme of the ITF's 2020 Summit. The world's premier transport policy event, gathering over 40 ministers and vice-ministers from the ITF's 60 member countries and beyond, will offer three days of debate at the highest level on the role of transport innovation for sustainable development.
Have your say in the future direction of policies that affect our lives: become involved in the ITF Summit.


I applied for a second loan and the money was already deposited into my account the same day by 5 pm . The service was great and these guys did a wonderful job.
I reborrowed this loan a second time because the company is leiniant with the interest rate and payback total. I we'll look forward to reborrowed again in the future.
The process was quick and easy. I received the funds on the day I was told. The customer service was great!
Gets you what you need but pay back way too much. I getvthey need to make money but these guys are beyond outrageous. Way better choices out there.
High interest , yes. But when an emergency is at hand with no other options , what can you do. Great fast approval ,money in account 12 hours later.
This was a very fast process that helped me out during a time I was in need! Money was deposited as promised! Thanks!
Very impressed with this company. They were friendly and the process was smooth!
Very quick and easy process. Will definitely refer others.
They are the best,when ever I called,they answer on time and they are very professional and very easy to talk to..all I can say is "THEY ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a wonderful experience in that I feared making a loan online. However, I must say that my experience was of utmost professionalism and kind consideration.
They really helped me out. They were very professional.
Great company. I would recommend them without reservation. Very pleasant stall.
It was great and very helpful service!
Easy applications, fast and friendly customers service will go a long way.
Didn't verify anything. Sent it to another bank. Left me in an bigger financial hole then I was before. I knew I should not have trusted this. They screwed me!
Through my experience, very few associate's are knowledgeable of their job. This company not concern with unexpected situations only payment, even at state emergency evacuations, they just focused on payment. I'm big on customer service and concerns, having had a great payment history and u come upon life unexpectancy this company concerns are not you it is payment, payment, payment and more charge's..Please be sure to understand your fiance charges and fees at the end of payment!!! NEVER AGAIN FOR ME!
I was approved for one amount 800.00 and then received 425.00 . Not good business.. I have had the same bank for 17 plus years . I have had direct deposit for years as well ..so I didn't understand why the full amount wasn't received . The approved amount was deceitful too me as well as unprofessional..
I always dealt with Ravyn and she provided the best customer service, always professional and helpful. I must say I will never recommend this company or any company for this type of loan because of the extremely high interest rates which is how you make your millions. The loan was a blessing to me in an unbearable situation however the amount of money I ended up paying back was just astronomical.
I would like to say every step of the way they have been upfront, reliable and good to me. I don't do loans and i dont like debt, but they have been awesome.
This company is a scam. It doesn't help people it rapes them out of thousands of dollars for SMALL loans. NEVER will I do this again.
Customers who show their credit worthiness should be treated as such. The fact that you can pay back Two loans without one miss payment and still can't borrow more is a disgrace.
Easy to work with!!!!!! Great customer service.
Thank you for making the process as simple as possible. The lady on the phone was extremely helpful and nice. Regardless of that: you get 5 stars from me for just helping me out. Thank you!
They helped at a time of need.
Thank you Santana. Good service.
Processed in a timely manner. Satisfied with the process.
Very helpful and understanding when I have come up short!
My experience with LoanAtLast is better than most online lenders out there. I enjoy the flexibility and no hassles approach. It means a lot to me.
Was well informed and very kind. Generally concerned for my safety because he thought I was driving. But overall, he was amazing.
Was there when I needed it, stay on top of your game. Will be back.
Rep was professional, polite and very patient.
My first experience was positive. I applied and was approved within minutes. The person I spoke to was professional and courteous.
Amazing easy and helpful experience! Will recommend!
Excellent customer service & reasonable loan payments. A Great company to request a loan from.
There was a loan established without my knowledge. An obsolete phone number is on the record. Your process is flawed.
Quick and easy. No hidden fees and very upfront about everything. Will use them again if I have another emergency.
The representative was very polite. I enjoyed speaking with her. She handled my request quickly. I would have given 5 stars but have not received my requested funds yet. Scheduled for Monday.
always there when I needed them. for 5 stars I would like to see up to date account information online and access to make payments online without the need to call.
Good customer service and the loan came in handy at the time, but the rates are still high to use on the regular basis.
The representatives that I spoke with did everything to get my loan approved. I am happy & I was surprised how quickly the money was posted. It was right away by the end of the day that I was approved. The process went smoothly.
I overall had a good experience. The agent was courteous. I would recommend your company to others.
They were there for me when I was in a bind. Great customer service. Proud to recommend them.
Wow... I didn't even think it was real until the money was deposited next day (Saturday morning) in my account. Just amazing..
The interests rates are insane.
I got Sloan on February 22 and have to pay back over $250 on March 1,2019 payback within 7 days?
I had to give my information more than once.
Great customer service quick and easy approvals but intrest rates are extremely to high!
Great Customer Service! Very thorough and patient during the application process. Fast and Easy!
I had a great experience overall and I appreciate the assistance I received from the expert I spoke with! The process was smooth and quick; I never expected to get the help I received when I did! It was right on time!
The process was quick and super easy to understand. Nothing about it was frustrating!
I haven't even received my loan...so that's why I have only 1 star..I hope u people won't make me pay anything back since I didn't receive crap.
They are straightforward and good customer service.
We were able to resolve the issue within a short period.
I was treated very well. They were very helpful. Great customer service.
NEVER get a loan from this company. a $625 dollar loan will end up costing over $3,277 by the time it is paid back in full...you are better off asking a relative for a loan...take my advice!!!!
The speed of receiving the funds was very quick.
You guys were great and attended to my needs immediately.
Affordable payment options are what makes Loan at Last so great ! Other companies make it impossible for you to get ahead because of thier outrageous interest rates.
I had to give at least 2 for the fast process and approval. However, your 20 installments payment plan with an interest rate of 719% is highway robbery. Your system is set up where it makes it impossible to pay off your loan early. So in staying the course, you end up paying back the actual amount borrowed 6 times over. You're not right for that! Action being taken!


Our providers offer loans with little or no equity, and very competitive rates for your unique situation. Feel free to contact our loan company directly or call us at if you have questions or need advice.

Q: How to make a production ready node.js server run when built? I have created a node.js server and everything works in dev. I even have a docker instance and when building it it all works.
I wondered how could I make a minimized build for production but so far I have not been able to figure it out.
My package.json:
{
  "name": "rugbe",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "",
  "main": "index.ts",
  "scripts": {
    "build": "tsc -p .",
    "dev": "npx ts-node-dev --prefer-ts true --no-notify -r tsconfig-paths/register --watch src --transpile-only index.ts"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "ISC",
  "dependencies": {
    "body-parser": "^1.19.1",
    "express": "^4.17.2",
    "helmet": "^5.0.2"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "@types/express": "^4.17.13",
    "@types/node": "^16.11.22",
    "nodemon": "^2.0.15",
    "ts-node": "^10.4.0",

    "ttypescript": "^1.5.13",
    "typescript": "^4.5.5",
    "typescript-transform-paths": "^3.3.1"
  }
}

When I run npm run bild I get:

rugbe@1.0.0 build

tsc -p .

But nothing starts?
when I run the npm run dev I get.

rugbe@1.0.0 dev

npx ts-node-dev --prefer-ts true --no-notify -r tsconfig-paths/register --watch src --transpile-only index.ts

[INFO] 23:27:01 ts-node-dev ver. 1.1.8 (using ts-node ver. 9.1.1, typescript ver. 4.5.5)

App running on port 5000

index.ts:
import App from "./src/app";

App.listen(5000);

console.log("App running on port 5000");

What is the correct script here?

Enrolled in the Arboriculture and Urban Forestry program at UMass Amherst, Scott's career began as a college freshman, when he joined the Hartney Greymont team. Young and eager, he learned the trade from the men who had trained through the lineage of the great Charles Sprague Sargent. He had the privilege of working with master craftsmen: those who were born with the eyes of an artist, the spirit of a pioneer and the tenacity of mother nature. These mentors were professional, efficient, and incredibly skilled in the art of pruning and all things of the earth. It was here that he knew he had found his passion and has spent the last 34 years working to emulate those great examples.
But here's some quirky stuff you can bring up if you run out of "tree talk"....
1. He cannot stay awake after eating pasta
2. You can't get him off the dancefloor at a wedding
3. His childhood nickname was Scooter

Team Lead - Client Care
Jen began her career in the horticulture industry 31 years ago. As a student at Franklin & Marshall College, she was pursing a path in entrepreneurship and live event production when she was hired as a summer intern for the Pennsylvania Nurserymen's Association, working on their annual summer trade show. This opportunity led to a full time position serving the New England horticultural industry, and several years (not to mention details) later, she and Scott married....he living the life of an arborist, and she an association event manager in the same field.
While taking a hiatus from the green industry to grow their family, Jen launched her own event production company and served on the board of the International Special Events Society-NE Chapter. There she nurtured her passion for doing business differently...drawing on the significance of creating meaningful experiences, and the unparalleled contribution they make to a business' success. It is this philosophy that drives her actions as co-owner of the company. Fostering a positive culture in the workplace, and creating spaces that delight our clients is her measure of true success. This might explain her slightly unconventional team meetings, laced with a precise balance of generative collaboration, skill development, and meaningful fun!
Oh...and while any loyal wife would embrace the duties that come with owning a family business, Jen did also reprise her role as a trade show coordinator in the green industry. And though her skills as an arborist are still limited to chopping wood (her favorite workout, by the way), she seems to have cobbled together that unique career she set her sites on so many years ago!

Cathy has worked in the horticulture field for 38 years...beginning at the age of 1, of course! She was the "voice" of Harrison & Associates since its inception 17 years ago and we couldn't be luckier to have her continue in that role for us. Her childhood nickname was Chatty Cathy and that makes complete sense given that her favorite part of the job is client interaction! Well, we certainly have no plans of slowing her down.
In addition to her incredible talents as our Director of Client Care, Cathy is an outdoor enthusiast who spends her free time biking, camping, kayaking, and scuba diving. she is a season ticket holder to the Providence Performing Arts Center, and when forced to entertain herself inside, you'll find her reading a good book, making elaborate quilts or playing with her three grandchildren.

Teri is living proof of the phrase "when one door closes, another is waiting to be opened". When our dear bookkeeper, Penny, retired, we were charged with finding the right candidate for her successor. The stars must have been aligned because Teri graced our presence at just the right time. She has swiftly embraced the title of Office Manager and is a dynamic contributor to all aspects of office efficiency. Maybe it's the classic rock that radiates from her computer - or maybe it's her self-titled obsession with personal finance, that keeps her energy up. But whatever it is, Teri always has something to contribute to the office activity. And if you really want to engage in some lively conversation, just bring up the topic of sports! She and her family love to watch and attend pro games. She would be hard pressed to pick a favorite sport but I think she would admit to the Red Sox being her favorite team.
Fun Fact: Teri and her husband share the same birthday!

Steve (Verno) heads up our Operations Team, which makes him a master of multitasking. He was the first new employee of Harrison McPhee, Inc., joining us amid the snowiest winter on record. We're glad he could see through the snowflakes to the adventures that awaited. Since his arrival, he has been an integral part of our evolution and remains a cornerstone of our company culture. But just when we thought we couldn't get any luckier, Leslie Vernon (Steve's lovely wife) brought her niche design talents within reach. Thanks to LVDesignhouse.com our trucks were branded and on the road in no time!
Steve enjoys reading, road cycling, camping and hiking with his family. He has ridden up Mt. Washington 3 times on his road bike and just complete a 100 mile bike race! When a 12 hour day at work just isn't enough to tire him out, he'll often commute on his road bike and squeeze in a lively game of soccer with his boys before bedtime. His current favorite author is John Krakauer.

So if you're ever looking for some creative input, Karen's your gal! Her passion for a plethora of interests can keep you in conversation for hours - and clearly results in the amazing designs we see her bring to life.
Gardening will always be at the top of her to-do list, but Karen can also be found spinning fiber from her own Angora rabbits into yarn, raising prize winning "show chickens", and has just taken up "mushrooming"! This all takes places in her family home, built by her husband and father-in-law, which she now lovinglingly shares with her oldest son Matt, his wife Adi, and their sons, Owen and Brody.

Team Lead-Landscape
Matt joined us in 2022 as our newest Arborist and Plant Health Care Team Lead, with over 20 years of experience in the industry. He is a MA Certified Arborist, MCLP and a member of NALP. He's a true outdoorsman, as his spare time is usually spent with family: hiking, fishing or running......although it isn't unusual to find him enjoying a good movie or video game with his kids!
As Team Lead for our PHC department, Matt focuses on the foundation of tree health - the soil health and prevention of disease and insect infestation. He ensures that we are providing the best environment in which our urban forest can thrive. His next goal is to successfully build the best PHC operation in the world and we're here to support that!
Matt believes one of the best things about being an arborist is working outside. The fresh air, constantly changing scenery, physical and mental stimulation are things that bring great satisfaction to your day - along with doing something good for our planet. His advice to current students who are thinking about their future careers is to take time between high school and college to try different fields.

Dick developed an interest in trees early on, as a young boy while riding his mother's fat tire bike through the woodlands and parks of western Pennsylvania. He created a leaf and seed collection to assist in mastering his native plant ID.
As a Cub Scout, at age 9, he was required to climb 15 fee into a tree - as part of a requirement for a wolf badge. He crushed that goal and instead climbed 50 feet into a mulberry tree....much to his mother's chagrin! About this same time, his entrepreneurial skills began to emerge as he got his picture in the local paper for trying to shine and sell buckeyes at a roadside stand.
Dick began climbing professionally in 1976, and climbed every summer while attending Penn State University. He never looked back, and has made a long and successful career in arboriculture.
He met his wife, Jennifer in 1988, when he was called to remove a fallen sugar maple from her preschool playground after a damaging storm.
Dick has also remained very active in industry volunteer work and is a past president of the Massachusetts Arborists Association.

He is one of many avid bikers at HMI. And when not on the road, you will find him and his family on the slopes or jammin' on the guitar. Random fact? He can juggle.....chainsaws? Well, no we don't think he's gone that far, but we're sure if he put his mind to it, he'd master it. Kyle is always looking to conquer the biggest challenge (or tree) he can find!
Vermont wins his vote for favorite vacation spot. And if you top it off with Mexican food, some live music and his family by his side, he'd probably call it his best day ever. (Oh wait - you'd better throw a quick tree climb into that mix!)

Mike is passionate about spending time with his family. He will tell you that his favorite vacation spot is wherever his wife and daughter are! They are lucky gals for sure, as they are not only adored but often find themselves the lucky recipients of his cooking and baking escapades. He loves to share his obsession with the natural environment with others, and finds great joy in observing the ways Mother Nature has figured out solutions to seemingly insurmountable hurdles. And while we're on the topic of hurdles.....Mike loves to hike and climb.
A rapid-fire introduction would include proclaiming his particular love for jazz.....although in his words "all music scratches my itch except for new country". Good Stuff Barbecue in Blackstone gets his ultimate vote, and the book he's most likely to recommend is The Trees in My Forest, by B. Heinrich.
Mike always has a spring in his step, and a good word to share with clients and teammates. He enjoys helping others find happiness in their day, which is oftentimes just by sharing his passion and joy for the small things in life. He believes Mother Nature provides us numerous gifts....we just need to recognize and experience them.

Juan Carlos recently joined our team, coming from a landscape construction background. He has a thirst for learning and is actively engaged in our Arborist Apprentice program. When he's not outside creating beautiful landscapes, Juan Carlos can be found spending time with his family, playing soccer, and tinkering with computers. He is so talented with computers, in fact, that he even assembled his own!
12 Years of experience, Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP)
In addition to Juan's talents in horticulture, he is also a great filmmaker! He was inspired by the culture here at HMI and wanted to spread the word. He made the following video to make a positive connection with our clients and future workforce. Check it out here or in our Career Page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyDRjh12Rk8

Maybe we should have listed Artie's fist trait as hungry because he loves trying new foods - both eating and cooking them.....he will try anything! He has also mastered the tricky art of gluten free cooking/baking, to provide better options for family members with celiacs. He started an epic victory garden this summer and has big plans to make that part of his summer meals. And while he's on this new kick of growing things he's planning to add bonzai cultivation to his collection of talents.
Spring doesn't allow much time for an arborist to take off, but when he's off the clock you can find Artie playing with his kids, reading, climbing trees (yes, he loves to do that in his spare time too), working out, or taking in a good movie. He and his son have a particular fondness for the classic Star Wars series.
Are you a Kurt Vonnegut fan? If so, be sure to strike up a conversation with him about Sirens of Titan.
Artie is one of our most decorated arborists, earning several certifications in technical skill and safety.

Industrial Athlete Wanted!
John is a classic example of the term "Industrial Athlete". A recent college graduate, John lead his UVM Catamount rugby team to an impressive number of victories as Flanker, Lock, and 8-man. He's now a winner on our team as our newest arborist trainee and all around great guy. He's never missed a day of asking what else he can do to help before he wraps up...now that's impressive!
It's common to be quite tired at the end of a long, physical day at HMI, but it takes more than that to wear John out. He's always up for a good hike or cycle....and if he can find himself a mountain, you will likely catch him rock climbing up or snowboarding down!
Interesting fact? A few years ago, John learned that the Heimlich maneuver does indeed work on dogs, when he rescued his labrador, Max, who was chocking on some kibble.....a true hero to both of his dogs (Max and Boo) who are undoubtably in good hands!

Tate made a big leap to move across the country to join our T.R.E.E.S. Class of 2021! A graduate of Purdue University, Tate graduated with a degree in Forestry, with a concentration in Urban Forestry. Searching for a career where he could work with like-minded arborists, Tate introduced himself to us while attending a national conference. We were blown away by his initiative, professionalism and enthusiasm. As he approached graduation, we discussed the option of him joining our team and are thrilled to say it all worked out perfectly. Tate's extensive education will be put to immediate, practical use as he joins us during our busy summer.
Arboriculture first sparked Tate's interest when he worked at a tree farm in Indiana...and the rest is history. If you were to dig a little deeper into his tree care related preferences:
Chainsaw or Axe? Chainsaw
Summer Tree Work or Winter Tree Work? Summer
Husquvarna or Stihl? Stihl
Battery or Gas chainsaw? Gas
Affectionately nicknamed Tatertot by his family and friends back home, we're happy to welcome him to his newest tree family in MA!

Hellllloooooooooo Cailley Culotta! Aside from having a name that is wicked fun to say, our newest #NextGenArborist.,Cailley brings with her a killer climbing background, having started her career as a climbing surveyer for the Asian Longhorned Beetle in the Worcester area. She loved it instantly and will tell you that the best part of being an arborist is spending time at the top of a beautiful, healthy tree. And that syncs perfectly with her version of following her bliss, which includes staying as true to her values as possible and being close to nature.
Multi-talented for sure, Cailley loves to rock climb, garden, keep bees, backpack, garden, AND she plays the viola. Random fact about that.....in 2018 she tried traveling to the West Bank to play her viola in an orchestra with a Palestinian music school. She was detained in Israel upon arrival and deported! Now she can never enter Israel again. Wow....we'd like to here that story!

Introducing Josie Ammons, our newest #NextGenArborist and official 2022 summer intern. Josie is a rising senior at Norfolk County Agricultural High School and calls Wellesley home. We had the great fortune of meeting Josie at a school career day, and were immediately impressed by her communication skills and interest in learning more about arboriculture "on the job". Her focus at The Aggie is "urban forestry" and she has loved it from the moment she heard about this career option as a freshman.
Her favorite part of arboriculture is climbing and pruning but admits that climbing is both "a little scary and fun" at the same time. We can certainly understand that as many of the trees we climb can reach 100 feet! But what a view when you get there....especially in the summer, which is her favorite time to be aloft.
In her spare time, Josie loves to get on the soccer field. But her interests don't stop there. She loves to read, listen to country music, find some good Mexican food.....and never says "no" to spending time in her favorite vacation spot of Stowe, VT.
During her time with us, she will be participating in each department of our company - getting a wide breadth of knowledge in all aspects of horticulture. Welcome Josie!

Ken was part of the core crew of Harrison & Associates, having faithfully served for 10 years. We gladly welcomed him as a veteran of our team when we joined forces in 2015.
Some clients may best know Ken as the leader of our firewood division. Never without a smile on his face, he has delivered and stacked - with enviable precision, we might add - hundreds of cords of wood. We're quite sure that more than a s'more or two have brought smiles to family faces because of Ken's talent for keeping our New England fireplaces burning.
Ken is also quite talented at all-things-mechanical. On the weekends you'll often find him tinkering in his shop - bringing an old relick back to life!

Maren could be the poster child for our #NextGenArborist. As a recent graduate of Vassar College, this statistics major has found a way to combine her talents in analytical thinking with her love of outdoor adventures, and create a rewarding career in arboriculture! Maren began her journey with us as an intern between her junior and senior year and fell in love with the work. Her talents were quickly recognized and it wasn't long before we were making plans to have her return for Christmas break. Now that she has graduated, she has joined us full time and we couldn't be happier. She must feel the same way because she would tell you that the most rewarding part of being an arborist is " working with people that inspire me both personally and professionally".

Lily's Bestie
Lilly is the newest lady in the office. She happily travels to work each day with Karen. Her morning routine includes sprints across the shop - in a vain attempt to get Bruin's attention and affection. The rest of her day consists of alternating between naps, gratefully accepting treats, and getting some good puppy exercise. Of course, she is most excited when the crews return - showering her with almost more attention than any one puppy can take. Lilly has chutzpah the size of Texas, which is where she traveled from to become part of her home (and work) families. Welcome Lilly!

From nomadic childhood to the Hollywood high life, Brendan Fraser made his name playing kooky comedy characters before The Mummy turned him into an action superstar.
Brendan Fraser was born on December 3, 1968 in Indianapolis. Thanks to his father's job as a Foreign Service officer for the Canadian Government Office of Tourism, Fraser travelled extensively during his early years.
It was on one of these trips to London that Fraser discovered his love for acting after enjoying the West End production of Oliver. Within a few short years of starring in school plays, Fraser picked up his BFA in Acting at Seattle's Cornish College of the Arts.
Finding work straight away, he made his debut in Dogfight alongside the late River Phoenix. While his part was a one-liner, it helped him pick up small TV roles.
In 1992 he appeared in School Ties alongside Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Chris O'Donnell and, although not a huge hit at the time, it later became a cult classic. Fraser worked hard over the next few years, starring in such film as Encino Man, The Scout and Glory Daze.
Fraser's big time break came in the shape of wacky kids' flick George Of The Jungle, based on the Sixties cartoon series. Here he played a clumsy Tarzan figure and, thanks to his comic timing and muscled loin cloth appeal, the film became a huge worldwide hit. When Robert Downey Jr pulled out of Gods And Monsters, Fraser was next in line to play Ian McKellen's gardener and object of affection. Although Brendan's career continued to make all the right noises, with a series of commercially successful films, it wasn't until he was cast in Stephen Sommers' The Mummy that he became a true Hollywood A-lister.
His portrayal of a slightly dodgy adventurer who helps Egyptologist Rachel Weisz discover the city of the dead was a sure-fire hit! The film capitalised on the previous Indiana Jones successes and shattered the $100 million mark. The sequel - The Mummy Returns – was also a huge hit.
Brendan then moved on to something more serious, starring alongside Michael Caine in an adaptation of Graham Greene's The Quiet American. The film charted the origins of the US war in south-east Asia, and both Caine and Fraser were acclaimed for their performances. Fraser played Brick in Tennessee Williams' Cat On A Hot Tin Roof in London's West End from September 2001 to January 2002.
In 2004, Brendan appeared in the Academy Award-winning film Crash, which explored racial and social tensions in Los Angeles. As well as securing three Oscars for Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay and Best Editing at the 78th Academy Awards, the film was awarded the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture.
Later in March 2006, the actor achieved a new milestone when he became the first American-born actor to be inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame, his parents' Canadian roots justifying the accolade. The same year saw him appear in the films Journey To The End Of The Night and The Last Time, followed by The Air I Breathe and Journey To The Center Of The Earth in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
Having received a staggering $12.5 million for The Mummy Returns, it would have probably proved difficult for Fraser to resist another outing as the swashbucking Egyptologist and Rick O'Connell returned in 2008 with The Mummy: Tomb Of The Dragon Emperor, albeit without Rachel Weisz.
Brendan continues to star in both action movies and smaller dramatic features, and enjoys his passions for travel, culture and photography.

All Saints Day is a solemnity celebrated on 1 November by parts of Western Christianity, and on the first Sunday after Pentecost in Eastern Christianity, in honor of all the saints, known and unknown.
In Western Christian theology, the day commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. In the Roman Catholic Church, the next day, All Souls' Day, specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet been purified and reached heaven. Catholics celebrate All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spiritual communion between those in the state of grace who have died and are either being purified in purgatory or are in heaven (the 'church penitent' and the 'church triumphant', respectively), and the 'church militant' who are the living.

She's as accurate as a Swiss watch, but with all the drama and passion of an exploding volcano. Are there better ingredients for a great career in opera?
Warwick Thompson, Metro and Bloomberg
The first time I worked with Susie was in 2006 on Lady Macbeth of Mtsensk and I have been lucky to work with her on many other things since, like Il Tabarro and Anna Nicole. Her playing and presence has blown me away since day one. Susie is extremely musical and sensitive and gives one a feeling of complete support and inspires you to give your best, as she is always giving her best. It's very understandable that great conductors and singers love working with Susie. Susie's presence lifts up a room of people – her concentration, dedication, ability and sense of humour make everyone around her happy and eager to work. She has been working with singers so long now that she has developed a true ability to coach, helping you to sing better technically, which is a rare gift from someone not trained as a singer. Apart from all these skills, the most outstanding skills is of course Susie's playing, which has deeply moved me on many occasions. I feel very lucky to have worked with her and truly hope to do so many more times.
Eva-Maria Westbroek, soprano, Royal Opera House, London
Every time I work with Susie I enjoy her fresh approach and attention to detail. She has a wonderful ear and ability to get the voice working smoothly, through detailed work on production of vowels and consonants. Along with this she is always questioning the text and intentions of what one is singing. This combination of fine tuning the voice and the story makes for superb results. I would highly recommend her to all.
Anna Devin, soprano, Royal Opera House, London
I simply love working with Susie. She is a fantastic coach, warm, full of beautiful imagination, very direct and encouragingly positive. Nothing escapes her sensitive, musical ears. Incredibly patient, detailed work on diciton and an x-ray like vision of what needs to be fixed ready with an instant solution.
Ilona Domnich, soprano, English National Opera, London
I first had the pleasure of working with Susie at the Glyndebourne Fesitval. What is impressive about Susie as a répétiteur is her ability to get the best results out of a singer in such a positive and encouraging way. I always feel enriched after her coachings.
Martha Bredin, mezzo soprano, Glyndebourne Festival, England
Susanna Stranders is a special and passionate musician, gifted with immense skill in communication. She can draw music out of a piano that not even the piano knew was there. She does the same with the singers she is working with. Her creative and insightful approach to vocal music make her a treasure to any singer wanting to improve their craft. I can't recommend her highly enough!
Laurel Cameron, mezzo soprano, Metropolitan Opera Chorus, New York, USA
Susie is one of the most inspiring coaches I have worked with. Not only does she hear everything, but she helps you to sing your best without referring to standard "technique" and perhaps stepping on teachers toes. She uses the most wonderful imagery to stop you thinking about the minutiae while making all the details better!
Máire Flavin, soprano, London
Susie Stranders is an outstanding vocal coach. She is a fine player, equally comfortable in opera and song, complemented by a strong sense of period and style. But, more importantly, she has an instinctive feel for the operation of the singing mind and body. Her creativity and use of imagery and gesture allows her to approach technical and interpretational issues from different angles. Her understanding of drama helps singers unify music and text, ensuring neither is compromised.
Ashley Riches, baritone, Royal Opera House, London
Susie has a fantastic, fresh way of conveying her ideas, clearly yet imaginatively. Her energy is infectious! She is a superb musician and brings the best out of those she coaches.
Rowan Hellier, mezzo soprano, London
Susie brings a fantastic energy to every session with a limitless imagination and keen attention to detail. She works in a supportive yet challenging way, always encouraging me to explore the music in new ways. Susie really understands the voice and always finds ways to make technically difficult pieces feel like fun. With an extensive knowledge across the whole repertoire and such a generous personality, Susie is a pleasure to work with!
Caroline Foulkes, soprano, Oxenfoord International Summer School, Scotland
Susie coaches with a verve and a wonderfully infectious enthusiasm. I always leave the room inspired by her extraordinary knowledge and fervent passion.
Rebecca Afonwy-Jones, mezzo soprano, London
Susanna Stranders has everything a singer could want in a coach: detailed, focused work on every aspect of the singer's craft – language, phrasing, tone, placement – with a joy and love of music that is infectious and the ability to see the larger scope of the music as a whole. She makes me a better singer and, importantly, she makes me *feel* like a better singer by the end of a session.
Zoë Freedman, soprano, Trinity College of Music, London
Susanna Stranders is one of the most talented people I have encountered. Working with her is an inspiration and joy and she easily offers singers a full toolbox to help them quickly improve.
Laura Lendman, mezzo soprano, Germany
Coachings with Susie are never anything other than immensely useful and thought-provoking, she is a true facilitator and a great teacher. She uses her musicality and instincts to get the very best out of me every time I see her, arias always feel better at the end of a session. Exactly what one wants from a coach!
Matthew Sprange, baritone, London
It is a huge privilege and an enormous pleasure to work with Susie Stranders. She has a forensic eye for detail while never losing the whole arc of the piece. Susie has a very large battery of strategies to help a singer with a particular problem without making the singer feel self-conscious and without treading on the realm of the singing teacher. To be accompanied by Susie is like being carried on a magic carpet.
David Freedman, bass, Opera a la carte
Susie is a deeply passionate coach and leads by example by her incredibly musical renderings at the piano. I've learned a huge amount from her.
Ben Woodward, répétiteur, London

Difference Between Covid Toes and Gout
• Categorized under Health,Science | Difference Between Covid Toes and Gout
Covid toes are a problem that arises in some people who have Covid; it is a condition in which the toes become swollen and red. Gout is a problem that happens when urate is deposited in the joints of the toes and feet.
What is Covid Toes?
Covid toes are when people who have the coronavirus start to experience swelling in their toes, and the toes also often appear reddish in color.
Scientists believe that Covid toes occur in about 20% of people who have the virus and that it is because of chemicals released during the inflammation process. During inflammation, various chemicals are secreted from cells of the immune system that impact structures in the body; the presence of the coronavirus in the body elicits such a response in infected people.
Symptoms and diagnosis:
Red, itchy, painful, and enlarged toes are common in people who have Covid toes, and occasionally fingers are also affected, becoming swollen and red similar to the toes. Doctors make the diagnosis by appearance of the toes and positive Covid status of the person.
There isn't a specific way to treat Covid toes and the condition goes away once the person recovers from the viral infection.
What is Gout?
Gout is a disorder in which crystals of monosodium urate end up being deposited in joints of the body, particularly joints of the toes and feet.
Gout is thought to develop from a combination of both inherited factors and environmental risk factors such as drinking alcohol. Genes that code for proteins of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway are believed to also play some role in the development of gout.
Symptoms include painful joints including joints of the toes, ankle, and feet. Joints become swollen, reddish in color, and painful. Urate crystals can form painful nodules and even lead to kidney stone development. The diagnosis is based on physical exam and confirmed by microscopy of fluid from the joints in which urates are detected.
The pain of gout can be treated using nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; medications such as febuxostat can be prescribed and taken to lower the urates in the bloodstream. A change in diet may also be helpful for people suffering from gout since purines (a substance found in high concentrations in certain foods) can aggravate gout. For instance, grain liquors and red meat contain high amounts of purine, and thus should be avoided.
Covid toes are an issue where a person who is infected with the Covid-19 virus develops red and swollen toes. Gout is a problem in which the body accumulates deposits of urate crystals in joints, especially of the toes and feet.
The main cause of Covid toes is thought to be a result of inflammation of the body to the Covid-19 virus. The specific cause of gout is believed to result from a combination of certain inherited genes and environmental factors.
Covid toes are diagnosed by a doctor noting the physical appearance of the toes in a person who is infected with the coronavirus. Gout is diagnosed by a physical exam and then by examining the fluid from a joint and noting the presence of urate crystals.
The symptoms of Covid toes include swollen toes that are reddish in color. The symptoms of got include swollen toe joints that may be red in color and painful.
No treatment is recommended for Covid toes since the condition goes away on its own once the person recovers from the infection. Treatment for gout includes a change in diet to reduce purine intake and also taking anti-inflammatory medicine and medicine such as febuxostat.
Table comparing Covid Toes and Gout
Summary of Covid Toes Vs. Gout
Covid toes and gout are both conditions that impact the toes causing discomfort.
Covid toes is really a response to the person's immune system causing inflammation due to exposure to the coronavirus.
Gout is related to deposits of urates in various joints of the toes, feet, and ankle.
What are the organs most affected by COVID‐19?
The lungs are the most affected organ when it comes to Covid-19 because the alveoli in the lungs have the most receptors for the virus to bind to.
Can the COVID-19 survive in drinking water?
Researchers have suggested it is conceivable that Covid-19 can survive in drinking water based on research conducted on similar viruses.
How long is a person with COVID-19 contagious before showing symptoms?
A person who has become infected can be contagious at least one to two days before there are any symptoms of the illness present.
Can you infect others with COVID-19 even if you are not showing symptoms?
Yes, it is now recognized that people who are asymptomatic can and do transmit the virus to other people before any symptoms are present or noticeable.
How long should I self-quarantine if I have been exposed to COVID-19?
After exposure to the virus, it is recommended that you self-quarantine for 14 days as it can take this long to develop symptoms of the illness.
