![]() With the two torso vents, it was a little harder but not impossible to do a one-handed unzip. I found the zipper pull to be easily-grabbed with gloves on. The front zip is easily zipped up or down in the saddle. Zippers and pockets are always important aspects of any jersey. DWR is so-so overall (some beads up, some soaks in), but waterproof performance remained solid. But, like any DWR, it will lessen over time, so it’s great to know that Windstopper keeps water out by itself. Water does seem to get about a 50% bead-up with the fabric, but again, not once did I get any water penetration. I know that the Windstopper fabric can keep moisture out for extended periods, but the DWR treatment is mediocre. Never did I feel like I overwhelmed the fabric. Yes, you could feel the dampness when removing the jacket at the end of a ride, but it distributes evenly and offers a metered exhaust. Never did I feel like moisture pooled up. Tall, comfortable collar and easy-to-use zipper. I really loved the collar height when temps dropped into the lower end of the range. The collar height is just right to keep out the elements while the soft mesh lining allows moisture to escape. Yes, it blocks the wind and rain, but when temps drop into the low 40’s and into the upper 30’s, you’ll feel the cold wind in your sleeves - not penetrating, but just allowing you to feel the cold air. ![]() Something you’ll notice is that this fabric doesn’t provide much in the way of thermal warmth. Don’t count on fitting much more than that underneath as Castelli still feels this is a “jersey” though I wore it more like a jacket. It fits perfectly with the ability to wear a long-sleeve thermal jersey and a sleeveless base layer. I’m 5’11” / 170 lbs and went with the large Perfetto. Rolling in the cold, but dry winter we’ve been having here in Salt Lake City.Īs with all Castelli pieces, the Perfetto features a race fit. I’ve had this jersey paired with Castelli’s new LW Bib Tights for a great combo. This allows for Windstopper to block the wind while Nanoflex allows a little more moisture flow. Strategically, Nanoflex is used towards the backside of both armpits. The renowned Gabba set the standard for wet-weather performance and now the all-new Perfetto Long-sleeve Jersey takes that to the next level.Īt the core, you’ll find GORE’s Windstopper X-Lite Plus fabric, which delivers amazing stretch for a “move with me” fit while blocking the wind and rain. It’s hard to argue with Castelli’s place among the best cycling clothing manufacturers on the market - especially for foul weather kits. Nanoflex drop tail adds backside coverage.Rubberized hem to keep out the elements.Nanoflex underarm insert for added breathability.GORE Windstopper X-Lite Plus fabric throughout.Built with GORE Windstopper X-Lite Plus material, the Perfetto Long-sleeve offers fantastic fit and performance for cool-weather activities.Ĭastelli Perfetto Long-sleeve Jersey Features: Castelli’s Gabba is stuff of legends, so when the new Perfetto Long-sleeve Jersey arrived, it had some big shoes to fill.

Paradox Interactive announces Expansion Pass, includes three DLC content packs for Surviving the Aftermath ![]() ![]() Most recently they were provoked by Prime Minister Jun’ichiro Koizumi, who stirred public controversy by following through on his campaign promise to LDP members that he would visit the Yasukuni Shrine in his “official” capacity if elected, which he did a number of times between 20. Media coverage of these cases has been minimal, but they deserve some attention since they reveal another side to life in contemporary Japan.Ĭourt cases related to the Yasukuni Shrine (the controversial site dedicated to Japan’s military war dead) have been going on for some time now. ![]() During the time that Departures was attracting international acclaim and being celebrated, the courts in Japan were busy processing lawsuits against the Yasukuni Shrine and the Japanese government for their alleged disregard for the personal rights and concerns of bereaved families and violation of the constitutional separation of religion and state. In stark contrast to this soft side of Japanese culture, there exists another way of dealing with the dead in Japan that many bereaved families experience as uncaring and unbearable. For those of us who make our life on this island nation, the ritual care and sensitivity to the needs and wishes of the bereaved depicted in Departures are reminders of the more general social etiquette, politeness, and civility that we experience and take for granted on a daily basis. Given that it addresses such universal human concerns as love and death, estrangement and reconciliation, and the renewal of familial bonds, it is not surprising that it would connect with viewers beyond Japan. In spite of the stigma attached to the protagonist’s occupation, it is apparent that many viewers considered this a life-affirming story. In contrast to The Funeral, ritual care of the dead in Departures is cast in a more positive light and, interestingly, without a direct connection to institutional religion.Īs I left the theater several weeks ago, I was struck by the silence of the audience as they made their way to the exit. This earlier film also dealt with Japanese religious sensibilities (or lack thereof), but the focus was on how an urban family struggled to cope with a death after losing the Buddhist traditions and rituals that had guided generations of Japanese through the grieving process over centuries. It has been over two decades since Juzo Itami’s Ososhiki (“The Funeral,” 1984) brought the issue of death and family relationships to the Japanese screen in such a powerful and entertaining way. She is only won over when circumstances bring her into a family gathering where Daigo’s graceful skill and sensitive care of the deceased is experienced as a great comfort to the bereaved family. Daigo’s wife is so offended by his new line of work that she flees back home to her own family. The “travel agency” job he thinks he is applying for turns out to be part of the funeral business. In this dismal economic and political environment, it is a pleasant diversion to celebrate the Oscar and escape to the theater.ĭepartures, directed by Yojiro Takita, is a film about a down-and-out musician who returns to his small hometown in northern Japan to search for work. Prime Minister Taro Aso is barely hanging on to power, and the leader of the opposition party, Ichiro Ozawa, is engulfed in controversy and scandal. Unfortunately, the political world does not provide much basis for optimism. This was cause for celebration in Japan, a nation hungry for good news after many months of gloomy reports about the downturn of the economy and the ensuing financial troubles at even the most successful Japanese companies. In February 2009, Okuribito (“Departures”) received the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film at the 81st Academy Awards. You’ve heard us talking about it this month. Now, the good news is—when you make a donation today we still have money available in our matching gift fund. What happens between now and midnight on New Year’s Eve will go a long way in helping to determine that. When you don’t hear from enough listeners, you have to say, “Okay it seems like we should not be investing the funding here.†It’s a difficult decision to make as a ministry. It’s because we had not heard from listeners, and we have to be good stewards of the funds that are available. ![]() The next four or five days will tell the tale about what we’re able to do in 2017.īob: We recently had to make the decision that we would go off the air in a few cities where FamilyLife Today is heard. If you can give, now is the time to do it because number one, it’ll be good for you in your marriage number two, it’ll be good for other people’s marriages and families and number three, we need you to give to keep this broadcast on the air, doing number one and number two.īob: Yes and this is a critical time for any ministry like ours. ![]() It’s time for a number of donors—who used to give but haven’t given recently, for a number of listeners who have listened for a good length of time but haven’t given, and it’s time for those who have given—to give again. We believe in it, we’ve given our lives to it, give our money to it as well. In fact, Barbara and I are donors to this ministry. I’ve raised my own support to work, here at FamilyLife and for Cru, since 1970. This gift is not to Bob / it’s not to me.ĭennis: I don’t take a penny from this broadcast. What do you do at a birthday? You give gifts okay? We need your help in celebrating our 25 th birthday. īob: This is—our 25 th birthday is coming up in 2017 isn’t it?ĭennis: It is coming up. God’s been at work through this ministry in some pretty amazing ways!â€ĭennis: He has and one of the things He did, was back in 1992—was He launched a little radio program on 22 stations across the country called FamilyLife Today, with Bob Lepine and Dennis Rainey. I have to tell you, Dennis—those two days—people have asked me, throughout the fall: “How was your 40 th anniversary celebration?†I’ve said, “You know, it’s interesting to take a couple of days and start to reflect on what the last 40 years have looked like,†and you go: “There have been some significant things happen over 40 years. We took two days in late July and got the staff together for a two-day celebration of 40 years of ministry. Al Mohler came and spoke to our staff, back in late July of 2016. We had an opportunity, in 2016, to hear from maybe one of the preeminent scholars of our day, who really—ĭennis: That’d be better said: “…one of the preeminent prophets of our day†because this is really a truth-telling message you’re about to hear.īob: It’s a prophetic message you’re right. I know you have spent a lot of time—I have as well—thinking about where we are in our country / in our world with regard to marriage and family. Thanks for joining us on the Thursday edition. Stay with us.Īnd welcome to FamilyLife Today. Is there anything we can be doing, as followers of Christ, to make marriage more meaningful in our culture than it is today? ![]() Our host is the President of FamilyLife ®, Dennis Rainey, and I'm Bob Lepine. When Christians go to a wedding, what we see is a picture of the gospel of Jesus Christ.īob: This is FamilyLife Today for Thursday, December 29 th. Frankly, for right now, at least, we can say, “two†but for how long can we say, “twoâ€? But for right now, all the world can say is that: “Two people are getting together for the length of time that both of them find mutually advantageous in order to identify with one another, and this is the party that,â€â€”by the way, doesn’t imply that they have not been coupling until now—but merely says, “This is when we’re throwing a party.†They see a party of two people coming together—and that’s all we can say now, in terms of the world, of two people coming together. Al Mohler.Īl: When we see a wedding, we see more than the world sees at a wedding. Bob: As a follower of Jesus, marriage ought to mean more to you than it does to your neighbor, who doesn’t go to church. ![]() If the desired illuminance level (IL) is not achieved for any reason, the smart controller adjusts the LED circuit current to boost the light intensity to achieve precisely the desired IL. Smart controller is designed to adjust - based on the preset light intensity - the position of the roller blind’s stepper motor, and consequently the roller blind opening for better utilization of the daylight entering the room. In this paper, daylight harvesting is used to minimize the power consumption - required for indoor lighting - using electric roller blind. Also, the conceptual development of integration of LVDC system with a renewable generation, which supplies current to the lighting system is presented. In this article, the implementation of a cloud platform control and management of an isolated distribution system that feeds LVDC lighting loads is described. The massive integration of LVDC distribution systems will significantly reduce energy losses and increase the efficiency of energy end users. Therefore, the implementation of LVDC systems is comparatively more efficient than traditional distribution methods of alternating current. In addition, conversion AC/DC systems have higher losses than conversion DC/DC ones. ![]() Existing experience about LVDC distribution systems have shown that reducing energy loss is proportional to increased levels of DC voltage. The emergent of new distribution systems such as LVDC has encouraged the development of innovative methods and components for power to low voltage DC, which are applied to lighting systems, datacenters, and interior spaces. In this sense, the implementation of new distribution systems, low-voltage direct current, LVDC, is presented as a technological solution for energy saving as well as for the efficiency for end users and for energy distribution companies’ power. Currently, inefficient use of electricity in homes, businesses, schools, and industries requires the implementation of policies, mechanisms, and technological innovations of rational use of energy. Our understanding of illness anxiety marks a vast departure from the historical view of the condition, which was once known as "hypochondriasis". The last two years has shown there has never been a greater need for awareness about illness anxiety and its management. It may be no coincidence that my own episode occurred during a lockdown, when I was unable to visit friends who might have distracted me, and when I knew that I'd have restricted access to medical treatment, if it were needed. Should children have to wear face masks?."I suspect that health anxiety has increased quite considerably during the pandemic, not least because people have had more time to ruminate and reflect on their symptoms," says Peter Tyrer, a professor in community psychiatry at Imperial College London. The pandemic could have also exacerbated anxieties about other conditions. But for some people the fear of the virus will have been all-consuming, peaking as they await the results of a lateral flow or PCR test. With a continuous news cycle emphasising the symptoms and dangers of the virus, it is natural to feel a certain level of preoccupation about a possible infection. According to the latest research, at least 6% of people will experience the condition during their lifetime.Īlthough we don't yet have updated statistics, that number may have increased rapidly over the pandemic. The episode was my first – and so far, my only – experience of illness (or health) anxiety. Almost as soon as I found out, all those aches and pains vanished, and I soon started returning to my previous weight. So you can imagine my relief when the technician told me that it was merely a lipoma – a benign tumour, made of fat cells, that posed no serious threat to my health. My GP recommended that I get an ultrasound scan, and by the time I found out the results, I was certain that I was about to hear the worst news. It was then that I started having other symptoms: I found that my whole body was aching and tired, and I started to inexplicably lose weight. I couldn’t help but google the appearance of lumps – and, thanks to its location, became fixated on the idea that I might have the first stages of leukaemia. It felt hard, like muscle, but shifted position when I pressed down – a bit like cold butter under turkey skin. It does not store any personal data.Around a year ago, while having my morning shower, I felt a small, round lump under my armpit.

If your signature is mainly this long because of a corporate disclaimer that you need to add, your Exchange administrator could consider to add this via a Transport Rule on the Exchange server instead.Īnother way to go would be to ask your legal department if the full disclaimer can be replaced by a smaller one. Paste it into the Signature area in OWA.It should now open in your default browser. Close Word and reopen the document you just saved. ![]() Save the Word Document as "Web Page, Filtered". ![]() If it still doesn't work then, the following method hasn't failed me yet and wouldn't require you to mess around with HTML tags if you don't know how or result in the loss of formatting of your signature Otherwise, copying and pasting the signature out of an already sent message rather than from the Signature editor in Outlook will work in most other cases. If your signature mainly consists out of (lines of) text, then copying and pasting it to Notepad first and then copying and pasting it to OWA should do the trick already. An example of a compact signature with still plenty of info can be found in the guide Add Instant Messaging links to your Signature. Not only try to keep your signature short in the amount of characters used, but also in length. So, assuming that you really did not create such a loooong signature, it is safe to say that a lot of excessive HTML formatting came along with the signature when copying it. Additionally, there are line breaks in both the HTML structuring and the Plain Text versions which account for 2 characters each.Įither way, this would still leave you with a good 2000 "typable" character limit for your signature in OWA. The HTML version is made up out of (invisible) HTML tags which also account towards this character limit. Up to 8096 (8kb of) characters are supported for your signature in OWA but that includes both the HTML and the Plain Text version of the signature. ![]() Most likely, something is wrong with the source where you are copying the signature from and excessive formatting is included.

Remember not to get caught by surprise - always be ready for a blow. ![]() Here, too, you can play alone or invite someone who wants to box a bit to the game. Get close to your opponent and deliver precise hits to the head or torso using the designated keys on your keyboard. Direct your blows carefully and try to throw your opponent off balance - this is your most important goal.īoxing Random is a new challenge with pixelated characters who, of course, also train in boxing. Play together with your friend or family member or face the automatic player yourself. It will be difficult to make perfectly thought out, precise movements here, but it will be a lot of laughter and fun. Arm yourself with accuracy, good reflexes and a handful of hooks! Also, don't forget to cover your teeth with something - it's easy to lose them in this sport.ĭrunken Boxing is a spectacular and thrilling fight between two characters who move as if they were intoxicated. A whole series of levels full of satisfaction and sporting joy await you.

Test various suggestions and choose the most interesting one for you! You don't have to be a specialist in this field - all you need is a good mood and willingness to have fun, and maybe to explore new areas. The wide range of offers will satisfy even the most demanding people, as well as the various levels of difficulty. Would you like a thrill and a real 1: 1 sports competition? Games that feature boxing will give you an adrenaline rush. Although because this movement is necessary for the game you may once and a while find yourself unable to be picked up by the PSVR camera and more commonly it may lose tracking of your move controllers. You’ll often be dodging around bullets and ducking behind cover. Unlike many other PSVR titles, Superhot VR is designed to be played standing up. It’s also become my new game to showcase to friends or family that have never played VR before. I’m sure i’ll be jumping into Superhot VR many times in the future even if it’s just to enjoy playing a few stages. After completing the game you will also unlock an addictingly fun infinite-wave survival mode. But even after completing them it’s still so fun to jump back in and try to replay the levels with a different approach. I managed to clear all of the stages of Superhot VR in around 2-3 hours. In fact just try and embody Keanu Reeves when playing this game. It requires a bit of finesse, approach it in the mindset of Neo from the Matrix or John from John Wick. This isn’t a shooter where you’ll want to kick down the door and go in all guns blazing. You’re just as fragile as the glass-like enemies and one wrong move can quickly lead to them getting the upper hand and killing you, which just quickly re-spawns you at the start of the stage. Allowing you to enter each stage and plan out your take-down approach very strategically, pulling off some outrageous combinations that lead to a pile of shattered bodies by the end.Īnd this strategic planning is absolutely required. This allows you to be very strategic and precise with your movements. If you manage to stay still time slows down and the enemies cease to move. That could be shooting, looking around or aiming. The enemies in each stage only move and progress with their attacks if you move. The thing that makes Superhot VR stand out is it’s time and movement mechanic. And now I know why Liam Neeson keeps making those Taken movies. This game truly makes you feel like a bad-ass action hero. Now with the immersion factor VR provides, playing through Superhot had me feeling like I was right there on the front line of an action movie. But even though I often achieve some really cool feats in games, I never really feel like it was me personally that did the work and deserved the credit. One of the key factors that make video games so great is their ability to have the player escape from their own lives and embody a playable character to experience new and wonderful stories or do things they either can’t or wouldn’t do in real life. |
