![]() I also get white stuff Big and small in my urine as well I drink a lot fluids so am not dehydrated, but I only peed 370ml since 8.30pm and it is now 3.45am. It is really thick and still has the white in or attached. I have had a yellow/brownish Jelly with/out white stings in or attached to the jelly in my urine that blocks my cath for some time now, which I thought it was a lot then but now it is a ridiculous amount and huge, with blood (which the blood maybe put down to the surgery, but have suffered with UTI/Kidney Infection my whole life on and off) but this is blocking my cath and creating a lot of pain when it does until it moves, sometime into the cath but sometimes through my pee the normal way cause it wont pass through the cath and it explodes out the normal way. Hi, I am a 33 years old Female paraplegic, I have just had surgery to have a cystoscopy and have my suprapubic catheter moved due to a lot of leakage of urine from my old site. Hopefully this information is useful to all of you. I did some searching on the internet when I noticed my jelly-like discharge and did not find anything that was particularly useful. I am very thankful my cyst was caught early and removed. While not a fun experience, it is not that big of a deal either. In my case, I'm homebound for ~10 days with a catheter. The doctor will cut out the portion of the bladder around the cyst and will also remove the "urachal remnants" so the subsequent cysts do not form. However, I'd strongly encourage you to see a specialist and get checked out. Cysts are much more likely to be benign in young people, like those who have posted on this forum. These cancers are particularly aggressive, meaning a cyst should be removed if it is found so that a cancer does not form. Urachal cysts are very serious growths and need to be removed surgically because the cysts tend to turn malignant (ie, they tend to turn into cancers) and form a urachal cancer. If not, I'd suggest seeing a different urologist. A urologist, however, should know what it is. As a result, primary care physicians and other medical professionals may not have even heard of it (my primary care doctor had not heard of it), much less have any idea how to diagnose it. Keep in mind that a urachal cyst is a very, very rare condition. However, if you've been to a primary care doctor and he/she ruled out other possibilities (e.g., a urinary tract infection or an STD), I encourage you to visit a urologist. Now, I'm there are other conditions that could result in jelly being passed in urine. Subsequent pathology confirmed the cyst was benign and had not turned into cancer. The surgery was performed using the da Vinci, a minimally invasive robotic surgery system. I then had the cyst removed laparascopically. I then went for a CT to determine the size of the cyst. A urologist first found the cyst during a cystoscopy. My particular cyst was draining through the bladder, giving the jelly-like discharge in my urine. These cysts may drain either through the belly button or into the bladder, although that symptom is not always present. These rare cysts generally can form between the urachus (a specific part of the bladder) and the the umbilicus (your innards underneath your belly button). Doctors very recently diagnosed me with a urachal cyst. The jelly did not always come out at the beginning or the end of my urine stream, but rather came out at seemingly random times. It ranged in color from clear to a reddish-brown. The material was denser than water, as it sunk to the bottom of the water in the toilet. I was passing a jelly-like substance in my urine, but had no pain. I am a 28 year old male who had a symptom similar to that described by the 19 year old female, although I was not feeling physically sick. ![]()

![]() ![]() When a government changes a fixed exchange rate, it is said to be devaluing or revaluing its currency, depending on whether the value of its currency goes down or up. People would no longer clamor at its doorstep trying to arbitrage the peso and the government would no longer be under pressure to print up more pesos. If it ran out of pesos, it would have to print more in order to maintain the government guarantee.Īlternatively, were it to start to run out of pesos, the Mexican central bank could break its promise and change the rate at which it is fixing the peso to $.05/peso–the market rate. The upshot is that the Mexican central bank, because it is charging a rate lower than the market rate, would start accumulating dollars. That activity is an example of what is called arbitrage, which means that if there are two different prices for the same item, there is money that might be made by buying low and selling high so long as the transportation or transactions costs don’t eat up the difference. In fact, I could make a lot of money buying pesos from the Mexican central bank at $.04 each and selling them to people who couldn’t get there for $.05 each. Compared to the market rate, that would be a great deal! Certainly, if I wanted to buy pesos, I would buy from the Mexican central bank rather than the market. central bank–would guarantee the new fixed exchange rate by guaranteeing that it will buy and sell pesos at $.04 each. The Mexican central bank–a government-run bank such as the Federal Reserve in the United States, which is the U.S. Government-set exchange rates are called fixed.įor example, the government of Mexico could fix its exchange rate by simply declaring that anyone who wants Mexican pesos can buy them for $.04 per peso, instead of $.05 per peso. Historically–up until the early 1970s–exchange rates were not flexible market rates, but instead were set by governments. Such exchange rates are called flexible or floating. dollars, so the exchange rate is $.05 per Mexican Peso.Ĭurrencies traded in markets–as they are presently for most countries–have prices that change by the minute, depending on whatever people will buy or sell them at. The exchange rate is usually quoted in terms of U.S. In our example, the exchange rate is either MXN20/$1 or $.05/MXN1. ![]() ![]() Thus, for each pair of currencies, there are two ways to describe the exchange rate. Or, for each Mexican Peso, you can receive $.05. dollar for 20 MXN (Mexican Pesos) that means you can receive 20 MXN for each U.S. The price at which you trade one currency for another is called the exchange rate. Markets in which you can trade one kind of money for another are called currency markets or foreign exchange markets. All you have to do is find someone with whom to trade. Just as you can trade the goods you own–that is, you can trade corn for rice or high-tech steel knives or computers–you can trade one kind of money for another. In most cases, it’s easy to trade one currency for another. Colombia has money called the Colombian Peso. Germany has money called the Deutsche Mark. For example, the United States has money called the U.S. Usually a country’s money, also referred to as its currency, is called by its own unique name. ![]() ![]() ![]() They renew automatically which requires a payment type that can be renewed automatically, e.g. Subscription Licenses Subscription licenses are valid only for a certain period.

When attacked by thugs to protect his sister Barbara, a touch to a mysterious medallion doubling as a gas cap on what appeared to be a junked motorcycle suddenly bonded him with a spirit Kale, turning him into the new Ghost Rider. The second Ghost Rider is Daniel "Danny" Ketch, actually the brother of Johnny Blaze. For a short while, at least, until the next Ghost Rider appeared. After much struggling, Johnny managed to seal the spirit of Zarathos and live in peace. Both souls defied Mephisto, but eventually came to clash in who was to have control of the body. Unfortunately, Mephisto already bonded Johnny with the spirit of Zarathos, a vengeful demon (angel after the retcon) that he defeated in the past, turning him into the Ghost Rider. except Roxanne did a Big Damn Heroes and expelled Mephisto with The Power of Love. Obviously, Mephisto demanded Johnny hold to his bargain and agree to become his slave. only to have him die in an accident during the very next stunt he performed. Mephisto upheld his bargain and cured Crash. That spell summoned Mephisto (though it has recently been retconned to be Lucifer who made the deal with Johnny), whom Johnny asked to cure Crash's cancer. Trying to find a way out of his impasse, Johnny turned to the occult and eventually learned of a spell that could summon Satan. Then, Crash revealed that he had cancer, but even then Johnny still refused. ![]() This caused Johnny to swear off motorcycling, and deteriorated his relationship with Crash as Johnny refused to take public stunts, preferring to train in the shadows.

What are the obstacles in the way of healthy weight loss for dogs? "Now," he says, "they're born retired."īut, although Becker is absolutely right, it's not the whole story and it raises a host of questions. As Marty Becker, DVM and co-author of "Fitness Unleashed: A Dog and Owner's Guide to Losing Weight and Gaining Health Together," says, it's "too much food in the bowl, and not enough miles on the feet." Dogs used to have work to do and got plenty of exercise. In theory, the cause of canine obesity is very simple. If getting the weight off dogs like Jo Jo is easy, why are one-third to one-half of all dogs overweight? Some experts believe it's nearer to 50 percent, putting the rate of dog obesity pretty close to that of their human owners. And while I can't tell you exactly how many fat dogs are out there, and a single, definitive scientific study does not exist, both a glance around the dog park and the body of research that does exist indicate that the number is somewhere around 30-40 percent. Rates of canine obesity are actually climbing.

Flexa’s wide variety of plug-ins and integrations often remove several of the traditionally entrenched middlemen in a payment transaction, drastically reducing the cost of acceptance while making payments faster than ever before. Flexa incorporates familiar technologies such as backwards-compatible barcodes, ISO 8583 messaging, and closed-loop payment rails, while abstracting away the regulatory difficulties of cryptocurrency handling - effectively eliminating custom IT work and compliance obligations as hurdles to crypto payments adoption. Along with growing public acceptance of digital assets as currency, there are a few key implementations that make Flexa the most promising approach for successfully integrating digital currencies with physical retailers.įirst, Flexa is an entirely merchant-focused payments platform. However, most attempts at enabling retail digital payments have created challenging user experiences and ignore myriad merchant requirements. Capturing significant market share for cryptocurrencies among those payment transactions has been the key to mainstream adoption. In the United States, around 86% of retail payments happen offline in physical stores. ![]() For merchants, the many advantages of Flexa include reduced costs, faster settlement, elimination of fraud, and access to the growing crypto market. For crypto holders, Flexa brings digital assets to the real world, further establishing the credentials of cryptocurrency as money and unlocking value in the form of straightforward tender for goods and services. The Flexa model benefits both sides of a transaction. In this way, Flexa can immediately guarantee payouts in any currency and directly extend the benefits of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) to merchant–consumer payment interactions. Anyone can stake Amp toward apps on the Flexa crypto network, and any Amp tokens staked can be locked in real-time to secure payment transactions while they await confirmation. As a fixed-supply, Ethereum-based ERC-20-compatible token, Amp works as crowdsourced collateral to completely decentralize payment risk, rewarding those who provide collateral with even more Amp tokens for every successful payment transaction. Meanwhile, Flexa’s Spend SDK deducts the equivalent amount of crypto (e.g., bitcoin or ether ) from your digital wallet within the app.įlexa’s instant payment authorizations are made possible via Amp - the network’s native token - which was co-developed by Flexa and ConsenSys. Flexa then pays merchants in either convertible virtual currency or their fiat currency of choice. When it’s time to make a purchase, your app generates a unique barcode called a “flexcode,” which participating retailers can scan to authorize and guarantee your transaction instantly. Flexa has a mission of eventually enabling digital asset payments for any app, using any currency, at any store around the world. For consumers, Flexa supports dozens of digital currencies - including cryptocurrencies, tokens, and digital dollars - for payment at thousands of stores throughout the United States and Canada - including Nordstrom, GameStop, Lowe’s, and Petco. Flexa offers app developers a drop-in software development kit (SDK) that can seamlessly unlock the value held in everything from digital wallets to loyalty apps - and beyond. For merchants, Flexa offers a variety of payment integrations and plug-ins to enable digital asset acceptance using existing point-of-sale (POS) hardware and software. Flexa is the New York City–based financial technology (FinTech) company building the future of payments by solving the problems of friction and high payment costs for both merchants and consumers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Of the 360 characters, some can function independently as characters, and are then contracted when they appear in combination.
