The top-of-the-line Protegé, the ES, comes with a larger engine than the lower-level DX and LX models: 1840 cc and 122 horsepower for the ES 1598 cc and 105 horsepower for the others (those sold in states adhering to California LEV standards have two less horsepower). Trunk space has shrunk, too, by 0.2 cubic foot, but the new shape is so uncontorted-it's a big box!-and the lift-over is so low, that we think it's more useful than ever. Yet the total weight of the car is down 16 pounds on our scale, due to clever engineering in the bolt-ons.Īs is typical when crash improvements are made, interior dimensions are fractionally smaller in almost every case, but it doesn't hurt the capacity and comfort of this car in any noticeable way. It has more steel, which works to provide the silence just mentioned, and crash protection. Mazda says the new body is about 50 pounds heavier than the old one. Kneeroom seems unexpectedly generous back there, too, as is the door-opening space for entry and exit. The inner track is mounted on the side of the tunnel, and the outer one attaches to the side of the sill, leaving a remarkably wide floor space for rear-passenger feet. Mazda did a clever thing with the front-seat tracks. The driver's seat slides rearward too far for six-footers, and they have ample headroom even with the sunroof. It seems to have all its room in useful places. The Protegé is one of the rare cars that didn't rub us wrong in any way. You can forget for a while, but then you notice, and it's annoying again. The longer you drive, the more irritating it gets. In most cars, larger ones, too, something about the console, or the underdash, or the door, rubs on your knee, or your shin, exactly on the part where there's hardly any meat to pad the bone. But our relatively normal-size drivers report something unexpected, maybe even unprecedented-the Protegé doesn't hurt them anywhere. Anatomies vary, and we can't foresee the complaints of every human settling into the driving position of a small car. The Protegé does something else exceptionally well, something perhaps even more valuable: It fits the driver like a custom suit. The grille has an in-your-face chrome accent, too, a rich touch you'd expect on a Lincoln Continental or a Mercedes, but which seems utterly extravagant on a budgeteer. The rather formal profile of this four-door-only body is softened by a smoothly arched roofline and then given character with big taillights and boldly sculptured wheel-opening flares. Rather, it did the hard thing in creating an econobox that actually looks classy. That's a perishable condition (though you wouldn't know it from the Neon's still-spunky shape), and now it's a crowded corner of the market populated by the roly-poly New Beetle. Now Mazda has an all-new Protegé-new body, new engines, new automatic gearbox-and this one has a shot at celebrity. And we've always liked the Protegé because, well, it just seemed to get all the basics right. The Neon remains a cutie and a lusty performer besides. ![]() Still, a few econoboxes manage to stand out from the blur. They shop price and they keep shopping across brands until something fits the budget. Price, quality, and dependability are the important issues for Protegé buyers, Mazda says. The only shoppers who care about this class now walk straight to the price sticker. And in these cheap-gas days, big numbers on the EPA mileage label no longer draw a crowd (remember when they did?). Nobody dreams of winning the Powerball lottery so they can show off a Chevy Cavalier in their driveway, or a Ford Escort or a Nissan Sentra. There's a certain who-cares anonymity to the cars in this econobox class.

When Raw-G’s performance was over, people were eager to check out Anita Tijoux. Raw-G never disappoints, her flow with her lyrics in Spanish is jaw-dropping (I don’t think I could ever be a rapper, I probably wouldn’t know what to say after the first three words.) Raw-G delivered a fantastic performance! The crowd cheered on as she finalized her set. Then it was time for Raw G to come on stage, this was my second time seeing her perform (remember when she opened for Ozomatli?) She was on stage with a full band, one which was her son, along with DJ Julicio and Steelo. There was a Chilean rapper named Hordatoj who had one of the first sets and also came on stage with Anita - there was also 2Mex from LA who blew my mind! This guy freestyles like no one’s business! And, he combined his lyrics with known tunes, like music from Beastie Boys & Weezer. There were different DJ’s spinning in between sets (DJ Ethos, DJ Julicio, DJ Nima Fadavi.) If you like hip-hop, then this night was the night to be at The New Parish. Some of the performers were even walking around and mingling with the crowd. The crowd started gathering, some people outside the venue, others on the dance floor, by the bar and even by the patio. And, since I’m one of those hardcore-crazy fans I was ready to head over to The New Parish, to check out my girl Raw-G and Chilean sensation Anita Tijoux, as well as the other bands on the bill. There is something about attending a concert on a weekday these are the type of concerts where you know hardcore fans will be in attendance. Some of the songs that were part of the repertoire for the night were: Ultrafunk, Sexy, Mentiras, Ponerte En Cuatro, Yo No Se, Cuchi Cuchi among many others – the band played for well over two hours and all of those who were at The New Parish did not want them to stop playing, that is how incredibly sensational their set was – Venezuela was in the house! Los Amigos Invisibles were simply incredible! And, I can clearly see why they have been around for over two decades now. I was so impressed with their music, stage presence and their ability to play non-stop and convey everyone to sing and dance non-stop – their sound is eclectic, a sexy mix of acid jazz, disco, pop and rock. ![]() I was excited to check out Los Amigos Invisibles, they have play in the Bay Area so many times, and I had missed them every single time. The band was formed in Oakland, and with the female vocals of Stephani Garcia Candelaria, the band comes together to put on a terrific performance and make people sing and dance. Candelaria from Oakland was the band in charge of opening the concert – if you like cumbia, then Candelaria is a band you oughta know. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rectus comes from the Latin rectos, meaning straight 1. If the eye is adducted by the medial rectus, the orbital axis runs almost perpendicular to the optical axis, so the inferior rectus no longer produces effective ocular depression, and instead produces external rotation and adduction. Thus, when the physician testing eye movements first asks the patient to follow their finger laterally then inferiorly in the familiar H-shape, the inferior rectus muscle (and the oculomotor nerve that supplies it) are being directly tested. If the eye is abducted by the lateral rectus such that the optical axis lines up with the orbital axis, the inferior rectus produces ocular depression only, and is solely responsible for this movement. This means that the inferior rectus has secondary actions of adduction and external rotation (see figures 2 and 3). However, because the apex of the orbit is placed medially in the skull, the orbital axis that the inferior rectus runs in does not correspond with the optical axis of the eye in its neutral position. It is well known that three external circular muscles (superior constrictor SC, middle constrictor MC, inferior constrictor IC) act as the sphincter, and three internal longitudinal muscles (the stylopharyngeus STP, palatopharyngeus, and salpingopharyngeus) elevate the. The primary action of the inferior rectus is to depress the eye (see figure 1) 1. The pharynx, a tube-like structure, is a part of the digestive system and is composed of six muscles. These muscles make up the inner layer of musculature - they act to elevate (shorten and widen) the pharynx and larynx during swallowing and speaking. It is innervated by the pharyngeal branch of the vagus nerve via the pharyngeal plexus. superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle Inner/longitudinal muscles. Innervated by the oculomotor nerve, which also supplies medial rectus, superior rectus, and inferior oblique muscles. The muscle is inserted into the pharyngeal raphe and pharyngeal spine. Arterial supplyīranches of the ophthalmic artery, itself a branch of the internal carotid artery. Inferior rectus is crossed by the inferior oblique muscle, which runs inferior to it as it crosses the floor of the orbit. Inferior rectus runs anteriorly on the inferior surface of the eye and inserts into the inferior surface of the sclera just posterior to the junction of cornea and sclera 2. Inferior rectus, along with the other rectus muscles, arises from the annulus of Zinn, the common tendinous ring at the apex of the orbit that surrounds the optic canal 1. tertiary function: one of the three ocular adductors.secondary function: one of the two ocular external rotators.primary function: one of two ocular depressors.insertion: globe (anterior, inferior surface).origin: annulus of Zinn (tendinous ring).innervation: inferior branch of the oculomotor nerve (CN III).These findings suggest that the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle may also play an important role in the expression of smooth coordinated movements associated with ingestion, from mastication to swallowing. The present study found that the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle is attached to the buccinator muscle (which plays an important role in mastication) with mucosa and originates from the mandible and root of the tongue. Morphology of the origin of the muscle at the buccopharyngeal part could be divided into three types: type A, membranous. Morphology of the origin of the muscle at the mylopharyngeal part could be divided into two types: type A, tip of the origin on the mylohyoid line and type B, tip of the origin away from the mylohyoid line. To clarify the morphologic characteristics of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, which plays an important role in swallowing, the gross anatomy of the pterygopharyngeal, buccopharyngeal, mylopharyngeal, and glossopharyngeal parts of the muscle was examined. In all three types, the muscle at the buccopharyngeal part transitionally originated from the buccinator muscle. Palatopharyngeus muscle assists deglutition as it shortens the pharynx by elevating it superiorly, anteriorly and medially.This action closes the laryngeal airway and prevents aspiration of food. Morphology of the origin of the muscle at the buccopharyngeal part could be divided into three types: type A, membranous morphology from superior to inferior areas type B, membranous only in superior area and type C, complete lack of membrane. ![]() To clarify the morphologic characteristics of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, which plays an important role in swallowing, the gross anatomy of the pterygopharyngeal, buccopharyngeal, mylopharyngeal, and glossopharyngeal parts of the muscle was examined. ![]() ![]() ![]() Increasing the water-to-air ratio can maximize the initial thrust, propelling the rocket to greater heights. The volume of water and air pressure directly impacts the thrust and launch trajectory of the rocket. Optimizing water and air pressure in a water bottle rocket involves precision and attention to detail. To achieve greater altitude, it is essential to carefully calibrate the water and air pressure within the rocket. Step 2: Optimizing Water and Air Pressure These considerations are vital for achieving optimal performance and maximizing the altitude reached by the water bottle rocket. When selecting materials for the nose cone, consider using lightweight yet rigid materials such as plastic or lightweight foam.

The NNAT is composed of various types of nonverbal reasoning questions, which usually involve pattern completion, analogies, serial reasoning and spatial visualization. The test aims to measure cognitive ability in a way that is less reliant on language skills and formal schooling, making it more suitable for a diverse range of students, including those who are English Language Learners (ELL) or have limited verbal skills. Unlike other tests like the CogAT or OLSAT, which have verbal and quantitative components, the NNAT focuses exclusively on nonverbal skills.
