Halo New Blood Epub Download
Lai Favor
I buy most of my stuff from Amazon.co.uk so I searched for "halo new blood" in all departments and, for some reason, only Halo: New Blood (Unabridged) was returned. So, my go-to eCommerce website failing me, I Googled "halo new blood". I was surprised to see a Google result of "New Blood (HALO) eBook: Matt Forbeck: Amazon.co.uk" result so I followed the link to -Blood-HALO-Matt-Forbeck-ebook/dp/B00L4ZZ4BK and got a 404 and the following error:
Suspecting that it may be on the UK iTunes store, I Googled "halo new blood site:itunes.apple.com/gb" and followed the "iTunes - Books - Halo: New Blood by Matt Forbeck" result to -new-blood/id887011141?mt=11 which opened the iTunes desktop client with the following error:
Desperate, I Googled "halo new blood waterstones" and followed the "New Blood - Halo (eBook) - Waterstones" Google result to -blood/matt-forbeck/9781476796703 and was so excited to see a 4.99 price, "eBook (ePUB)" format, "Available for immediate download" note, and an "ADD TO BASKET" button! Finally, we're getting somewhere!
I originally posted this to the halo subreddit at _can_i_get_the_halo_new_blood_ebook_in_the_uk/ (spoilers!) so, while I was writing it, I went back to the Waterstones page to get the details and was very surprised to see that the "ADD TO BASKET" button had changed to "DOWNLOAD", despite never receiving an order confirmation email. Great(ish?)!
So, I selected "DOWNLOAD" and anticipated a file called something like "Halo - New Blood.epub" to start downloading. Instead, I saw "URLLink.acsm". Now, I consider myself to be pretty au fait when it comes to file extensions and formats and I had never heard of an ACSM file. Google quickly revealed that it is the American College of Sports Medicine but, after tweaking my search, revealed that it is actually an Adobe Digital Editions file used for downloading eBooks.
Hurrah for good software development[!] Right-clicking on the book and selecting "Item Info" revealed that the EPUB had finally been downloaded locally! I don't have a dedicated eBook reader so I usually just open ePubs and PDFs in the iBooks app on my iPhone and I'm travelling to London very soon, which is a good few hours each way, so I wanted to get Halo: New Blood into iBooks ready. So, I copied the "New Blood-3.epub" file to my Dropbox on my PC, downloaded it in the Dropbox iOS app, selected "Open in iBooks", and got the following error:
Patient medical records were retrieved and used to correlate ctDNA to disease characteristics. UM patients were classified according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) classification of UM (Table 3) [35]. In the UM cohort, no evidence of metastasis was seen in any patient. Most of the UM patients had underwent episcleral brachytherapy (plaque radiation) as treatment, except LB36 who had not received any treatment at the time of blood withdraw (Table 3). Patients with nevi were categorized according to risk factors for UM: thickness, presence of subretinal fluid, visual symptoms, orange pigment, peripapillary, halo, and ultrasonographic hollowness (Table 4) [18].
The organism is isolated by streaking material from the clinical specimen (orfrom a blood culture) onto solid media such as blood agar, tryptic soy agar orheart infusion agar. Specimens likely to be contaminated with othermicroorganisms can be plated on mannitol salt agar containing 7.5% sodiumchloride, which allows the halo-tolerant staphylococci to grow. Ideally a Gramstain of the colony should be performed and tests made for catalase andcoagulase production, allowing the coagulase-positive S aureusto be identified quickly. Another very useful test for S aureusis the production of thermostable deoxyribonuclease. S aureuscan be confirmed by testing colonies for agglutination with latex particlescoated with immunoglobulin G and fibrinogen which bind protein A and theclumping factor, respectively, on the bacterial cell surface. These areavailable from commercial suppliers (e.g., Staphaurex). The most recent latextest (Pastaurex) incorporates monoclonal antibodies to serotype 5 and 8 capsularpolysaccharide in order to reduce the number of false negatives. (Some recentclinical isolates of S aureus lack production of coagulaseand/or clumping factor, which can make identification difficult.)
