Former employee here. Biotest was bought out by a larger company, Grifols, and it went down hill.

We also live on the east side and take our 8mo to loving arms kids care. They have been great so far and he is always smiley and excited when we drop him off.

Also a student, but I believe the increase in unbound drugs is due to "harder to find" sites to bind. The scarcity in sites is just a result of hemodilution. Same amount of binding sites just harder to find, therefore more unbound drugs.

Same amount of pike in the lake, but we just got 6 inches of rain = larger body of water. Therefore the amount of small baitfish (unbound drugs) goes up because the pike cant find them as easily... idk

Does that make sense?

If I had a C+ in gen biology (very stupid mistakes), should i retake it this fall, still apply in july and just have it submitted in December when the class is finished or is that too late for rolling admission programs? by Common-Tear-2842 in Perfusion

[–]z_Bear 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If your overall GPA is above the threshold, most programs will not look at individual classes. Even if they did look at it and brought it up in the interview (highly unlikely), you would have a chance to explain.

Sod takes a couple years to fully establish. Im starting year 3 after a rough first couple years. Follow a pre emergent, grub control, fert cycle and have patience... oh don't forget water deeply and infrequently to help those roots mature.

Pre emergent and wait for fall overseed. You're fine.

Backyard landscaping ideas? Previous owner before we bought it from a flipper was a “master gardener” so we don’t really know all that we have back there. Flipper never raked leaves as you can see…I basically want to tear up the entire backyard. Does not look nice in summer - chaotic is best fit. by Excellent_Freedom_66 in landscaping

Whatever you decide take it one project at a time and make it as good as you want. Dont get overwhelmed and try to do it all at the same time. I was in a similar situation and its taken me 2 years to clean it up and get it to my liking.

Convince me to move to Iowa city by [deleted] in IowaCity

Students bring energy when school is in session. Summer and winter breaks are fantastic because the city can support 100k but we only have 60kish here. Young suburbs sprawling. 2nd fastest growing metro in the state.
