![]() ![]() These questions, I believe, are what causes this sense of wonder in Halo. And the moment you learn that it is supposed to kill all life in the galaxy, a million questions go into your mind. Yet, the Covenant seems to worship this thing. At this point the existence of the ring is completely a mystery, because not even you or the Covenant created it. The Forerunners? You didn't even know they existed. For example, the Spirit dropship's exotic two prong design makes it feel all the more memorable because of how strange it is, but the later Phantom design feels less exotic due to how 'standard' it looks for an alien army (if that makes sense). Small details like their insistence on plasma weaponry, the alien sounds of their vehicles, and their shiny, luminescent armor made them feel even less human-like. Only the Grunts spoke English, and that only muddied up your understanding of the Covenant. They spoke in other unidentifiable dialects. The Covenant? They were completely alien. The only thing you were familiar with was the UNSC, because they are recognizably human. In Combat Evolved you didn't even know any of that. This would be the game that would introduce you to the vast world of the UNSC, the Covenant, the Forerunners and their history with the Flood. Halo: CE was the first mainline Halo game. It adds together to really make the world you're in seem creepy, but you can't quite explain why. There's also a ton of ambient pieces too, like the one that plays in the light bridge room on the mission Halo, and the various ambiences that play in 343 Guilty Spark and the Library. Of course, it's still present in the UNSC themes, but it takes a backseat from the more synthesized sounds of songs like Under Cover of Night and A Walk In The Woods. In terms of music theory, I feel that the game is more subdued and has less of a focus on more traditional 'human' sounds because of your general isolation from the UNSC throughout the game. The color design of these areas is especially unique, where when compared to later Halo games, the colors of the missions on Halo were almost gritty, yet oversaturated, and had a consistent cold color tone. Later on these levels would be expanded on even more to evoke a feeling of mystery, such as the coolant from the Truth and Reconciliation in Keyes and the darker, moodier level design of Two Betrayals. Think of the giant snowy wonderlands of the Control Room, the large forerunner caverns covered in purple fog, and the side of a desert cliff. The levels were vast, open and expansive. I think it’s a combination of level design, music theory, my outside information before playing it and the storyline concept. Games like Halo 3 just didn’t do much for me, but Halo CE completely captivated me in another special and unique way. The first thing I noticed once I completed all of the Halo games was that I had a certain feeling when playing through the first game that was strangely absent (though somewhat present in Halo 2) in the other games. All of these experiences of mine are completely unbiased. I’ve only gotten into the Halo games a year ago. Let me first note that I have no nostalgic attachment to this series. I’m gonna try and rationalize this but essentially I feel that Halo: Combat Evolved feels completely different from the other Halo games in terms of it's presentation, sense of mystery and sense of wonder.

![]() ![]() Since they were able to figure out a lot of new techniques that help them expand their abilities and learn to master them. Given Dyrwoodans' general discomfort with the Glanfathan language, the cipher name stuck and continues to be used in everyday conversation. From the brîshalgwin, the animancers learned that Glanfathans had developed mental abilities that allowed them to perceive and contact what animancers categorized as "housed" souls, i.e., souls held within a physical vessel.Įxcited by these revelations, animancers in Defiance Bay began working with the brîshalgwin, whom the animancers had previously described as ciphers due to their mysterious nature. In the years that followed the Dyrwoodan revolution for independence, relations between Eir Glanfath and the Dyrwood thawed, the tribal princes of Eir Glanfath allowed Dyrwoodan animancers to speak with some of their brîshalgwin, the elite warriors that had terrorized Aedyrans and Dyrwoodans in past wars. However, with Dyrwoodan settlers in a state of war with the population of Eir Glanfath, the researchers couldn't find many Glanfathans who were willing to talk about it. In the War of Black Trees, Dyrwoodan animancers confirmed many of these experiences across a wide number of soldiers and settlers. But over the decades that followed, more settlers reported similar violent encounters with Glanfathan guerilla fighters. The war was a new experience for everyone involved, so many Dyrwoodans dismissed many of the more outlandish tales over time. Over a century ago, during the Broken Stone War, soldiers in the Dyrwood reported wild tales of having their minds invaded, of seeing comrades lose control of themselves, of orlan and elven Glanfathan warriors wielding knives engulfed in purple flames that "cut away" the souls of their victims. ![]() They are gaining acceptance over time, but are generally distrusted, especially by the uneducated.Ĭiphers latent mental talents are a relatively recent discovery, that occurred naturally among the Glanfathan population. Though most ciphers are still found in the Eastern Reach, practitioners of the techniques have spread throughout the known world.

When discussing lubricants, there are several different designations of viscosity, such as ISO VG,ĪGMA, SAE Engine Oil, and SAE Gear Oil. Even if two oils have the same viscosity (at any temperature), this does not mean that the two are universally interchangeable. So while the applications of these oils are very different, these two lubricants may be used interchangeably, right? HOWEVER, both AW-68 hydraulic oil and 5w-20 motor oil have right about the same viscosity at operating temperature. Industrial machinery often operates in a climate controlled environment, thus there is no reason to use multi-grade oils (in fact, it may be harmful). The differences in viscosity of an SAE 20 and SAE 5 oil relative to being poured on the same angled surface.Ĭonversely, the aforementioned AW-68 hydraulic oil has an ISO VG rating of 68 this, in turn, allows it to be classified as a single-grade lubricant, or straight-grade oil. In short, for engine lubricants, the lower the "W" rating, the lower the pour-point will be. Instead of it taking 15 minutes to warm up your engine oil, potentially damaging your engine, these additives allow for quicker lubrication of all engine components, eventually evening out at operating temperature. To be clear, 5w-20 motor oil is an example of a Multi-viscosity oil - these oils contain a VI improver to compensate for the range of temperatures an automotive engine may be exposed to: these additives allow for cold startups without sacrificing lubrication efficiency. Shop Industrial, Manufacturing, Automotive Lubricants: Petroleum Service CompanyĪside from the industrial applications which specifically require a High Viscosity Index (HVI) oil (when machinery is exposed to a wide range of temperatures), many industrial lubricants lack VI improvers because the machinery in which they operate are not subject to changes in temperature. Static over a wider range of temperatures this occurs via unique additives referred to as "Viscosity Index Improvers" (VI improvers). When it comes to automotive engine lubrication, we often prefer oils with a low viscosity spectrum, but a "High Viscosity Index"- in short, this means that the viscosity stays Liquid water has an extremely narrow viscosity spectrum (in the range of 33 F to 211 F) when compared with honey: meaning that the viscosity of water goes relatively unchanged over that temperature range alternatively, honey would pour much slower at 33 F compared to 211 F, which means that its viscosity spectrum is much wider (in said temperature range). But what about water? Whether near freezing or just about to boil, water pours relatively the same. Honey when you heat it up: it immediately becomes easier to pour once it reaches a certain temperature also, when cooled, the consistency of honey thickens. Lubricants resembling this liquid are higher viscosity oils. This is because honey is more viscous than water and has a much higher viscosity.Īlternatively, this fluid is a great deal thicker - somewhat like honey. Immediately - but a glass of honey would slowly spill over, giving you a second to react. If you were to knock over a glass of water, the liquid would spill out ![]() Take, for example, this comparison of two common substances with different viscosities: water and honey. ![]() In a nutshell, the thicker the fluid is, the more resistance to flow it will demonstrate. Viscosity is the measure of a fluid's resistance to flow (under certain conditions). This liquid's water-like state is reminiscent of a lower-viscosity lubricant. Viscosity and though the word may sound a bit dense, it's actually pretty simple: it is a number value for the relative thickness (or weight) of your oil or lubricant. These numbers are representative of a lubricant's Numbers in 5w-20 might signify? Or - should you work with machinery that requires an industrial lubricant - the AW-68 on your pail of hydraulic oil? If you've changed your own oil before, then chances are you know what the "w" in 5w-20 means (HINT: it stands for winter grade, or rating). ![]() ![]() ![]() Below I am going to list out my top 10 prospects, why they are at the top of Boston’s minor-league ranks, why they will be seen as trade chips this winter as well as why they won’t be, and then finish it off with a “Trade-o-Meter” rating, which is simply a scale of 1-10 regarding how likely it is they will be dealt this winter, one being least likely, 10 being most. To that end, today we’re going to look at the top tier of the Red Sox system. These things have to be taken on a case-by-case basis, and with a good balance in mind. Saying prospects should never be traded is just as silly as saying every prospect should be used as a trade chip. You can’t get something without giving something up, after all.Īnd when it comes to prospects in trade talks, we go back to that idea of no successful organization doing just one thing. Free agency may be more appealing in a vacuum, there are certainly times when trades make more sense, and in those scenarios prospects must be put up for offer. But at the same time, no successful organization builds their roster through just one avenue. ![]() For a team like Boston that has huge payroll capabilities, it’s always easier to add that talent via free agency since that only costs money rather than prospects. And I know our fans will support us if we do that.After a surprisingly successful 2021 season, the Red Sox enter this offseason clearly looking to add to their overall talent level, not take away from it. “We’re going to continue to field a team, a complete roster that is going to be competitive in the American League East. “I would put our organization and our track record up against anybody else’s in Major League Baseball, period,” Red Sox President Sam Kennedy said. The Red Sox do have a pretty good response to their restless fans: Despite their five fifth-place finishes in the last 11 years, they also won two World Series in that span and four since 2004 – more than any other team in baseball. But, you know, every winter, every spring, this organization is gearing up to try to win, and that’s really meaningful.” “There are seasons where we demonstrated it really well there’s seasons where we haven’t. “When he thinks about the Boston Red Sox, he thinks about an organization that’s here to win,” Bloom said. “And that’s something that I think will help everybody throughout our staff."Īlthough the Red Sox still need a shortstop - or a second baseman, if Trevor Story moves over to the right side of the infield - Bloom said hearing Jansen talk shows that other people around baseball are more optimistic about the team's chances than the Boston fans. “(Jansen) has done his job for about as long as anybody has done in the biggest stages," Bloom said. The Red Sox have also signed right-hander Chris Martin and lefty Joely Rodriguez, who could take some of the pressure off holdovers like Matt Barnes and John Schreiber. In his career, he has a 2.46 career ERA with 391 career saves - second-most among active players behind Craig Kimbrel’s 394, and eighth all time. The 35-year-old right-hander from Curacao – just a short hop from Bogaerts’ native Aruba - went 5-2 with a 3.38 ERA in 64 innings while helping the Braves with the NL East. The bullpen gave up the most earned runs in the AL last season, and manager Alex Cora struggled to find a dependable closer. Honestly, I would have been surprised if that had not been the case.”īloom stressed that there are different ways to build a ballclub, and with Bogaerts gone the team has necessarily turned its attention to its other weaknesses. Fully expected it,” he said on a frigid Tuesday in a function room overlooking the field, which was laid out for Saturday’s Fenway Bowl football game. Red Sox Chief Baseball Officer Chaim Bloom said the reaction from fans was no surprise. The atmosphere, you see how intense the fans are, how much they get it, how hard they root for their team.”īut Jansen arrives in Boston at a time of near-revolt among the fandom, which watched Bogaerts depart just three years after former AL MVP Mookie Betts was traded away in the interest of financial flexibility. “It’s all about winning here,” said Jansen, who led the NL with 41 saves for Atlanta last year after spending his first 12 seasons with the Dodgers. ![]() ![]() Do some personal research to find one that you feel fits your hair’s personality the best.ĭo some shopping around, get some second opinions from friends and family, and try some samples if you’re able to. This is just a small list of popular temporary colors to try. Applying color, in general, is best on dry hair because it penetrates or coats the hair much easier. This can also cause the product not to work correctly or look right when it dries. The best way to apply the hair paint wax is on dry hair. It’s not recommended to put color on wet hair as it can’t coat the hair well enough with water in it. Make sure to shampoo your hair an extra time just to make sure it all was rinsed out. It is not at all a difficult process, as it is just hair paint. The best way to remove hair paint wax is to shampoo it out. Use thinner layers until you get the desired look, and don’t use too much to avoid it making the hair stiff and heavy. It may be easier to use and distribute the color on curly hair, but it can work for straight hair as well. ![]() ![]() The best thing about hair paint wax is that it can be applied to any texture of hair from straight to kinky and coily. Does hair paint wax work on straight hair? It will not harm your hair so it would be perfectly fine for it to be applied after heat styling. If you want your hair to be straight while having the wax in, consider using heat before applying the hair paint. There really is no need to use heat products on this product as it will be difficult for the heat to even penetrate the hair strand, which would mean you would have to keep heating it which would cause more damage. It is not recommended to use heat styling products with it in your hair. Since the wax only coats the hair and is not permanent, it can rub off on heat products like a flat iron or curling iron. To avoid this, don’t go over a week at a time having it in your hair. The color can also start to rub off or transfer to clothes after being in for a while. The good thing about it is that you can add it back in again after washing out the old batch. However, leaving it on too long will cause it to look dry and chalky, or lumpy it’s better not to exceed 4-6 days with the wax in your hair. The color will eventually start to fade on its own, but you can touch it up on your own to make it last a little longer. Since it washes out, getting it wet can cause it to fade faster. It can stay longer if you avoid getting it wet in the shower or in general. Hair Paint can last up to four days without being washed out. ![]() However, it can become a bad situation if left in for too long. Hair paint wax only coats the hair with color and does not alter it anyway like semi-permanent dyes and lighteners will so it doesn’t cause any damage, Overall, no. A lot of hair paints have natural ingredients that are not damaging to the hair. It is a great way to color your hair without bleaching which can be bad for your hair. Hair paint is meant to be washed out and is not permanent so it is not bad for your hair. Switch it up with ease and try some of these vibrant, pale, or multicolored styles. We can get a great color without bleaching or having to commit to one color, which is torture for people who like to switch it up every week. ![]() There are now hair paints that we can apply to our natural hair. However, if you’re still not convinced, you’re nervous, or you just don’t want to commit, there are still ways to get some color without making a permanent commitment to color. It takes a lot of care, patience, and products designed for colored hair. While sometimes this can be the case if we don’t take care of it, we can still dye our hair and have a curl pattern. For years, we’ve been told as naturals that we shouldn’t dye our hair because it will cause so much damage that we’ll have to cut it off and start over. ![]() ![]() ![]() PallettrailerBD to load factory products build in the mapfile can be found with the tippers With over 50 products a list off the factory’s will be included in the zipfile aswell will this explanation.Īlso replaced the fertilizer and seeds factory’s with a updated model, you will be able to fill your seeders directly at the factory’s aswell.

![]() Victrex Chief Scientist John Grasmeder has stated that mold temperature is critical to obtaining semi-crystalline parts that take advantage of PEEK's unique properties. Submersible gates can be considered for thin-walled or small-part product designs, but such gates are not suitable for injection molding of parts with larger wall thicknesses, because such gates are more likely to occur in advance of the gate Freeze, thereby affecting the subsequent feeding effect of thick-walled products.ĥ) Good temperature control The fifth point is very important: good temperature control of the mold. The general injection gate design types are generally applicable to PEEK injection products. Depending on the PEEK grade you are molding, the minimum gate size is 1mm for unfilled PEEK and 2mm minimum for filled reinforced PEEK. At Victrex, there is a general rule that the gate is 2/3 the thickness of the maximum section thickness of the injection molded component. Use as large a gate design as possible to achieve better packing. ![]() Furthermore, higher processing temperature cooling gradients tend to result in greater shrinkage than lower temperature processing polymers. PEEK is a semi-crystalline polymer with higher shrinkage compared to amorphous thermoplastics. Gate size depends on part maximum wall thickness, number of cavities and part geometry. ![]() Fourth point: The large gate design is suitable for PEEK injection molding. Remember: any contamination that is inadvertently involved in the entire injection molding process can cause black spots in the final PEEK injection molded part.Ĥ) The product should use large-sized gate design as much as possible. Return material may be the main source of contamination, we recommend that you use special equipment and do its cleaning well to ensure that PEEK material is not contaminated by other materials during its operation. Before starting injection molding of PEEK, it is important to clean the screw and barrel properly and efficiently to ensure that the equipment is clean and free of other material residues. As you will learn, most other polymers degrade at the processing temperatures of PEEK, necessitating the use of a clean oven and feed system. The third point is an important requirement: keep it clean! Avoid any contamination when handling PEEK. A dehumidifier or hot air dryer can also be used and must be able to maintain a dew point or saturation temperature of -40☌. The aim is/should be to reduce the residual moisture content to <0.02%. In short, we recommend placing the pellets on the tray in a conventional oven and drying at 150-160☌ for 2-3 hours, optionally continuous drying. In our data sheet and injection molding guide, we provide some dry guidance. The second point pertains to dry PEEK polymers: PEEK pellets should generally be dry, but absorb moisture from the atmosphere. ![]() All metal parts should be smooth and highly polished to well avoid material degradation due to prolonged local residence in the barrel. Copper and copper alloy materials (in contact with the melt) should be avoided. Universal screw suitable for PEEK injection molding. In addition, the use of high-temperature-resistant insulation materials to insulate the barrel can also be considered, thereby saving energy costs. We recommend that you use a ceramic heating coil because of its higher heating consistency. If necessary, if a heating system modification is required, it is usually necessary to modify the heating coil or thermocouple/controller of the injection molding system. Most standard injection molding machines can reach these temperatures without retooling. PEEK grades, the processing temperature of the injection molding machine barrel will be between 350-400⁰C. The first is equipment for PEEK injection molding: PEEK can be molded on standard injection molding machines from most well-known machine suppliers. Five factors to consider in PEEK injection moldingġ) Equipment: Standard injection molding machine ![]() ![]() ![]() When you’re excessively warm, you tend to build and strengthen the anticyclone, which encourages continuation of clear skies, which in turn encourages a lack of precipitation, which makes it drier, which makes the incoming solar radiation more able to heat the ground.” Heat waves threaten the power grid just as people need electricity the most. “It compounds on itself,” said Jonathan Martin, a professor of atmospheric science at the University of Wisconsin Madison. But with so little water in the ground, in waterways, and in vegetation, there isn’t as much to soak up the heat besides the air itself. Moisture in the ground can blunt the effects of heat, the way evaporating sweat can cool the body. Heat waves are especially common in areas that are already arid, like the desert Southwest, and at high altitudes where high-pressure systems readily form. The ground - soil, sand, concrete, and asphalt - then bakes in the sunlight, and in the long days and short nights of summer, heat energy quickly accumulates and temperatures rise. The high-pressure system also pushes out cooler, fast-moving air currents and squeezes clouds away, which gives the sun an unobstructed line of sight to the ground. The sinking air acts as a cap or heat dome, trapping the latent heat already absorbed by the landscape. That creates a sinking column of air that compresses, heats up, and oftentimes dries out. Heat waves begin with a high-pressure system (also known as an anticyclone), where atmospheric pressure above an area builds up. The impact of this additional exposure to solar radiation is cumulative, which is why temperatures generally peak weeks after the longest day of the year.Īmid the general increase in temperatures in the summer, meteorology can push those numbers to extremes. So the threshold for a heat wave in Tucson is higher than the threshold in Seattle.ĭuring the summer in the Northern Hemisphere, the northern half of the planet is tilted toward the sun, which increases daylight hours and warms the hemisphere. ![]() What counts as a heat wave is typically defined relative to local weather conditions, with sustained temperatures in the 90th to 95th percentile of the average in a given area. Heat waves, explainedĮxtreme heat might not seem as dramatic as hurricanes or floods, but the National Weather Service has deemed it the deadliest weather phenomenon in the US over the past 30 years, on average. ![]() But with global average temperatures continuing to rise, more records are poised to fall. With a large El Niño warming pattern brewing in the Pacific Ocean, 2023 may be one of the hottest years on record. They’re a public health threat that can exacerbate inequality, cause infrastructure to collapse, and amplify other problems of global warming. The forces behind them are complex and changing. There’s more to heat waves like this than high temperatures, though. Scientists say these record highs align with their expectations for climate change, and warn that more scorchers are coming. It has stressed the power grid and caused outages just as people most urgently needed to cool off. A deadly heat wave is broiling Louisiana, Texas, and Mexico this week with record-breaking temperatures reaching 114 degrees Fahrenheit. ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout history, cities have been distinguished by their prominent structures: Florence by the Duomo, Paris by the Eiffel.
