![]() ![]() The deep sidelines should also be pretty open if you can hold one of the safeties in the middle of the field. If he steps forward, you can hit deep in-routes over the top. If he drops back, you can hit drag routes underneath him. However, you must keep an eye on the center LB and see where he drops in coverage. ![]() Cover 2’s weakness is the middle of the field. While these tells aren’t always a dead giveaway, you can trust them more times than not. You’ll recognize it by the two deep safeties and the CBs playing about 5 yards off the receiver. In Cover 2, two deep safeties split the field in half, each covering their side. How to beat Cover 2 Image used with permission by copyright holder Let’s go over the basic coverages you’ll come up against in Madden 22. The bane of any Madden player is a costly interception, especially when shortened quarters make picks and fumbles nearly impossible to recover from. Understanding coverages in the passing game is imperative to driving downfield and scoring touchdowns. Understanding how these work will mean the difference between touchdown and turnover. The best skills to practice and hone are RPOs, Attacking Coverages, and Pre Play. Select the skill you want to learn/improve.However, the skills trainer menu is hidden, so here’s how to find it. Title of new Need for Speed game leaks ahead of Thursday’s reveal Xbox Series X tips and tricks: how to set up your new consoleīattlefield 2042 is coming to Xbox Game Pass later this month ![]() Coming out of halftime and already in an 18-point hole, New York's offense would log back-to-back three-and-outs to begin the third quarter. While the first half did set the stage for a rough showing for the Jets in the Week 9 opener, the second half is where they were truly left in the rear-view mirror. Once he was lost, it was a tall ask for backup Josh Johnson to try to keep pace with a Colts offense that was scoring at will when it was truly zeroed in. The wind was cut out of their sails in the aftermath of White's injury. In the early minutes of the second quarter, linebacker Darius Leonard also was able to punch the ball loose from Ty Johnson's arms, which helped spark a 21-3 run by the Colts heading into halftime. That unit averaged 8.7 yards per carry and also found the end zone three times.ĭefensively, the Colts started to falter late and allowed the Jets to score 20 points in the second half, but they were largely stout early. As a team, the Colts ran for 260 yards, which is the highest total rushing yards by a team this season. Of course, a large part of that was also thanks to the ground game. ![]() ![]() Indy was able to carry that momentum into the third quarter where it tacked on even more points and got out to a massive 42-10 lead at one point. At halftime, the Colts had nearly a 100-yard advantage in total offense and a lot of that was thanks to a highly efficient Wentz, who completed 15 of 18 over the first two quarters for 146 yards and two touchdowns. Indianapolis was hot right out of the gate and scored a touchdown on every single one of its possessions in the first half. That was enough offensive firepower to negate any late rally by the Jets (outside of sweating out the 10-point spread). It was all gas, no brakes for the Colts for roughly three quarters in this game. To read more about how this game unfolded, check out our main takeaways below. With White on the shelf, Josh Johnson came in under duress and completed 27 of 41 for 317 yards, three touchdowns, and an interception in the losing effort. Meanwhile, White completed seven of his 11 throws for the Jets for 95 yards and a touchdown before departing. Carson Wentz completed 22 of his 30 passes on the night for 272 yards and three touchdowns. Jonathan Taylor led the Colts backfield in what was a dominating night on the ground as he finished with 172 yards and two touchdowns. They only continued to pour it on in the second half and finished with 532 yards of offense. The Colts would find the end zone on all four of their offensive possessions in the first half to go up by double-digits at the break. ![]() It was at that point where New York was left in the dust. However, White suffered a forearm injury in the midst of that drive and did not return for the rest of the night. At first, the Jets were able to hold serve with the Colts as Mike White responded to that touchdown drive with one of his own as he connected with rookie Elijah Moore on a 19-yard score. From the jump, Indy was able to put points on the board, going on an 88-yard touchdown drive on the club's opening possession. While that final score may not suggest a blowout, New York's points largely came in garbage time with the game out of reach in the second half. Refs have 100% changed the trajectory of this game.The Indianapolis Colts didn't meet much resistance when it counted as they moved to 4-5 on the season after defeating the New York Jets on "Thursday Night Football" 45-30. One fan raged at the footage: "If the NFL isn't rigged I don't know what is at this point. NFL fans piled onto social media, with some wildly claiming the league was "rigged" in favor of the reigning Super Bowl champions. Jets head coach Robert Saleh was fuming with the call on the sideline, receiving an unsportsmanlike conduct flag later in the drive for shouting at officials. The interception would have kept the game very much alive for the home team, who had already battled back from a 17-0 first-half deficit.īut the Chiefs received a new set of downs with just over 4 minutes left on the clock after Gardner was flagged late by the officials for the divisive holding penalty. Gardner was adjudged to have held Chiefs receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on a crucial play during the 23-20 loss at MetLife Stadium.Ĭhiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes looked to have thrown his third interception of the night as his pass was picked off by Michael Carter II on the Jets' own 14-yard line. Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner was flagged for defensive holding during the Kansas City Chiefs' final drive of the game. ![]() A machine that detects irregular heart beats is likely to be less accurate than a machine that monitors normal heart rhythms. An irregular heartbeat can occur when a rhythm is at least 25 beats slower than the average rhythm. Echocardiography is the most effective method, but an echo can be picked up by a stethoscope. My husband has a 1st degree heart block, and his normal morning resting pulse is 45 BPM. When the blood pressure reading in the memory exceeds 135, the Heartbeat Symbol flashes. If you are concerned about either of these possibilities, you should speak to your doctor. Another possibility is that you have a heart condition that is causing your blood pressure to fluctuate, and the machine is trying to warn you of this. One possibility is that you have an irregular heartbeat, which the machine is detecting and alerting you to. There are a few potential reasons for why your blood pressure machine would show a flashing heart. Does Heart Palpitations Affect Blood Pressure? If you continue to get them or have other symptoms, you should seek medical attention. When your heart rate rises, you notice more changes in your heartbeat. If you’ve ever been stressed, dehydrated, or worked out excessively, your heart may experience palpitations, but it can also be caused by caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, or even cold and cough medications. Most of the time, a brief fluttering sensation in your heart is just a heart palpitation, which is not a cause for concern. When rapid electrical signals cause the heart’s two upper chambers to contract in an abnormal pattern, this is known as AFib. There are times when people mistakenly believe that they are experiencing a more serious illness called atrial fibrillation, or AFib. If you experience heart flutters, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause. This may be caused by a heart condition, such as arrhythmia, or it may be a symptom of another health condition.

The TrailSport boasts orange contrast stitching on the seats, steering wheel, and door panels, and the TrailSport logo appears on the head restraints of the front seats. We expect leather upholstery to cover the seats in every Honda Passport for 2024, as was the case last year, but there are some trim variations in styling and the use of colors. A full-size tablet can now be stowed in the center storage bin, while two large smartphones can be placed next to each other in the new storage tray ahead of the shifter. All models now have a new center console that has increased width to accommodate a large integrated armrest and expanded storage. The Passport hasn't been left untouched inside, however. The usual functionality is included, though, from Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to Bluetooth, HD Radio, and SiriusXM. The same eight-inch touchscreen display is found in the dashboard's center, and it's now quite small by modern standards. The interior of the Honda Passport is still quite understated, but in typical Honda fashion, the controls are logically presented to the driver. For the TrailSport, the off-road-tuned suspension has revised spring rates, optimal damper valve tuning, and upgraded stabilizer bars to improve this variant's articulation. The four-mode Intelligent Traction Management system also caters for driving in sand, snow, mud, and on paved roads. The i-VTM4 system can direct 70% of the V6's torque to the rear axle while also managing 100% of that torque between each rear wheel, depending on the driving situation. The towing capacity, meanwhile, is an acceptable 5,000 lbs on the current model. Independent testing revealed a quick 0-60 mph time of six seconds, so the Passport won't be found wanting, even when fully loaded. The transmission is a nine-speed automatic with paddle shifters. It produces 280 hp and 262 lb-ft of torque, and every 2024 Passport comes with the brand's Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4) all-wheel-drive system. Honda made no suggestions of an engine change or update for the Passport, so the same 3.5-liter naturally-aspirated V6 will do duty. There is now a second Honda Performance Development (HPD) Package that has black fender flares, new 20-inch wheels, and a special grille design. Standard features that will likely carry over from 2023 include LED headlights, a one-touch power moonroof, a power tailgate, and rear privacy glass.įor this model year, Honda has expanded the list of accessories. ![]() The TrailSport also has power-folding mirrors to help it navigate narrow trails, while a heated portion of the windshield prevents wipers from getting frozen in place in particularly freezing conditions. Honda hasn't specified all the colors for the other trims, although a new Diffused Sky Blue will be available for the TrailSport exclusively. The colors for this sporty Honda Passport model are Crystal Black Pearl, Sonic Gray, Platinum White, and Radiant Red. ![]() Finally, Black Edition badging is found on the tailgate and grille. This blacked-out treatment is also applied to the headlight trim, side trim, door handles, window trim, and fog light accents. The new Black Edition comes with a blackout grille and 20-inch alloy wheels with a black-painted finish. These tires are wrapped in machined 18-inch wheels with Pewter painted highlights. The most rugged model of all is the TrailSport, which gains standard General Grabber A/Tx tires to help with traction on slippery surfaces. The Honda Passport's exterior design won't win any beauty contests, but there are many customers who will appreciate the straightforward, fuss-free styling. ![]() These are banned chemicals anyway, but what is banned in the Americas and Europe could still be on sale somewhere else. Now, with more than 15,000 tons of sunscreen finding their way to the ocean annually, you can see why these products are among the major contributors of reef bleaching. These ingredients are parabens, octinoxate and oxybenzone. Some sunscreens for snorkeling are bad because they contain ingredients that cause coral bleaching. Why are some sunscreens bad for snorkeling? So next time you go riding on your kayak, mind what you toss in the ocean. This is avoidable, if we could all embark on a campaign to keep the ocean as clean as possible. Unfortunately, some of the sunscreen that we wear has compounds that cause the coral reef to be stressed. It is important that the coral reef is not stressed in any way because that causes it to repel the algae. ![]() When the ocean regains its normal status in temperature and cleanliness, the algae starts growing back. The animals that used to feed on the small animals the fed on the algae also disappear.Īnd so the next time you go to the best white sand beaches in Florida with your family, there will be nothing to see when you snorkel. Thus, when it is expelled from the coral reef, all the marine life that was depending on that coral reef for food disappears. This algae is food to a lot of marine life. The coral reefs start losing their exuberance and the life that depends on them. However, it is expelled due to pollution and too much warmth in the water. The algae called zooxanthellae is found inside the corals. When you put on your snorkeling gear and hit the water, you can see just how attractive the coral reef is. ![]() The death of these algae leaves a mere white skeleton of a reef that cannot support life. Just as the word bleaching means to lose color, when coral bleaching happens the coral reef loses the algae that lives inside it. What we mean by this is that if we all desisted from using sunscreen that has compounds that can cause coral bleaching, we would do the ocean a lot of good. However, we all have to do our small part to leave the ocean a better place than we found it. When there is too much warmth in the ocean, the coral reefs start bleaching. Ok, bigger phenomena like global warming and large-scale ocean pollution cause the biggest coral reef deaths. The reason why using a reef safe sunscreen matters so much is because it can prevent coral bleaching. Why Reef Safe Sunscreen Matters – Coral Bleaching That way, when you are done snorkeling in Clearwater Florida, you will feel happy that at least, you have done something for Mother Nature. Just as it is with buying a scuba diving tank, you want to be sure that you have the best sunscreen. Thus, you have to do some research, if you indeed want to have the best. However, there are so many of them, and they all claim to be the best. You could just buy reef safe sunscreen on. Thus, today, we not only consider the best skin safe sunscreen for snorkeling, but the best reef safe sunscreen as well.īuying the best reef safe sunscreen could be as simple as picking the best one that you come across. ![]() Just like we were skeptical at first when doctors told us that sitting for long hours is the new smoking, so are many people when they hear that sunscreen damages reefs! We now must look for the best reef-safe sunscreen. That is why today, the search for the best sunscreen for snorkeling has gone beyond what is good for humans. That is why when you are preparing to go snorkeling, kayaking or sailing in summer, one of the first things to go into your dive travel bag is sunscreen for snorkeling.ĭefinitely as a snorkeling enthusiast, you care about the oceans, and the life that they support. When you lie down on the warm sand after snorkeling to soak up some sun, the worry of skin cancer is not too far from your mind. The most important reason why you need sunscreen for snorkeling is to protect you from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Why you need reef safe sunscreen for snorkeling ![]() The menu features flavors of Northern Italy and an extensive selection of worldly wines served in a warm, inviting setting with an open-hearth, wood-fire oven, and stunning views.

To find a Death Cafe-or learn how to host your own-visit. ![]() ![]() Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day.’” -Amy Maclin “Pope Paul supposedly once said, ‘Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. They usually say, ‘No, but my views on life have,’” Mooney notes. “After I host a Cafe, I ask the participants whether their views on death changed as a result. Little did he know his death would become part of his life’s work: reminding human beings that time is precious. In 2017, at age 44, Underwood collapsed suddenly from a brain hemorrhage caused by an undiagnosed case of acute promyelocytic leukemia. leader: “We’re more okay talking about death if we’re nourishing ourselves at the same time.” (Adds Reid, “There’s something life-affirming about cake.”) Participants are usually strangers, which can help encourage openness about this discomfiting subject, and food is essential, says Mooney, Death Cafe’s U.S. Now more than 11,000 Death Cafes have been hosted in 73 countries, bringing gatherers to actual cafés, living rooms, cemeteries, and catacombs-and, more recently, virtual meeting spaces-to discuss such topics as dying loved ones, funeral planning, and what really happens in a crematorium. Sometimes it’s sad, sometimes it’s really funny, but it’s always interesting.” But eventually, we realized it was better to just ask people why they were there and let the conversation take off. “We did exercises like writing things on pieces of paper-I can’t even remember what-and burning them in the fireplace. “When we started, it was very structured,” says Reid. Mooney’s gatherings are part of a larger Death Cafe movement, founded in 2011 by Jon Underwood, a London Buddhist who believed that frank conversations about death could help us make the most of our finite lives.Inspired by the work of sociologist Bernard Crettaz, who hosted cafés mortels in France and his native Switzerland, Underwood organized the first Death Cafe in his basement, led by his mother, psychotherapist Susan Barsky Reid. Now people tell me, ‘I’ve tried to talk to my family and friends about dying, and they call me morbid.’” “In Victorian times, we used to be surrounded by reminders of death. “We talk about death,” says Mooney, who adds that our collective cultural denial of mortality has left many of us starved for conversation about it.
