![]() ![]() Most also feature extended cuffs for your hands and pockets for discreet storage. You’ll get unhindered movement, strategic ventilation, and warmth. We have long-sleeve running tops featuring light French terry and polyester fabrics infused with Dri-FIT technology. Long-sleeve tops: When choosing a mid-layer top, besides long sleeves, you need a technical fabric that’s warm, light, and breathable.A proper mid layer can be added to your base layer or worn by itself. When choosing your mid layer, don’t forget to consider rain, wind, or snow, which can make it feel colder than the forecast. ![]() ![]() When you’re dealing with cold (think temperatures near 32-40º F), you might need another layer for a little more protection. Nike running beanies provide the same Dri-FIT technology to keep your head and ears warm. They also feature silicone fingertips for touch screens (so you don’t have to take your gloves off every time you check your pace in NRC). Our gloves feature Dri-FIT technology to provide warmth and protection without extra weight. Running gloves are sometimes overlooked when it’s above freezing, but they can eliminate the need for unnecessary layers. Gloves and beanies: While your core and upper body stay warmer during a run, your head and hands can make you shiver when you otherwise feel great.The ideal base layer allows you to add extra layers without overheating, but also works on its own so you can remove extra layers if things change mid-run. A cotton shirt, on the other hand, absorbs moisture and stays wet for the duration of your run. Nike Dri-FIT base-layers are specifically constructed to disperse moisture over the surface of the shirt so it evaporates more quickly. When picking your base layer, breathability and moisture wicking are a must. Tops and shorts: Depending on your sensitivity to cold, typically either short-sleeve shirts or long-sleeve shirts paired with running shorts or half-tights will get it done for you.Your base layer is generally what feels comfortable when running in chilly weather, around 40-50º F. Remember, the base layer is just that, you can always add more layers. A good base layer is essential to comfort and performance and it sets you up for successful running in cold weather. ![]() ![]() ![]() Note: This can’t be done using your voice.
![]() The Journal of Affective Disorders carried out a study that showed that SAD suffers showed a huge improvement in terms of waking up in the morning and feeling less sleepy throughout the day after just a week of using a sunrise simulator alarm clock. Acta Psychiatry carried out a study showing wake-up lights increased mood, productivity, quality of sleep and more. There are many more studies that show the benefit of using a sunrise simulator alarm clock. How Can They Benefit You?Ī study by Chronobiology International showed that being startled from a deep sleep by the piercing sounding of an alarm leds to higher levels of cortisol, increased stress, worse moods and inertia.Īnother study by Psychoneuroendocrinology on a range of volunteers showed that those waking up with sunrise alarm clocks felt more awake and had increased alertness througth the day, amongst other things. Wake up lights can help produce serotonin, another hormone that regulates feelings of well-being to the point it is know as the happiness hormone.īy helping increase the production of serotonin and reduce the production of melatonin sunrise simulation alarm clocks can help you sleep better and wake up feeling refreshed and ready to start the day. Often during winter months we may feel ‘groggy’ for the first few hours of the day as a result of this excessive production of melatonin. In the winter, when we have less hours of sun our bodies produce more melatonin – a hormone that makes us sleepy. Your circadian rhythm is in effect your internal body clock. ![]() How Do They Work?īy simulating a sunrise wake-up lights can effectively reset your circardian rhythm and help you get a balanced 7 to 9 hours sleep a night. Some also have an additional alarm or sound you can have playing at the end of the sunrise cycle just to make extra sure you wake up. The light will start off low and gradually increase to full brightness and somewhere along the way you should wake up. They use light to wake you up, replicating the natural way we used to wake. Sunrise Simulator Alarm Clocks, or wake-up lights as they are also known, rouse you gently from your sleep without the need for an alarm sound. > BEST FOR: No ambient light from time displayĭo you really enjoy being shocked awake from a deep sleep by the shrill sound of an alarm clock ringing?

Honestly, the subliminal environmental signposts in this game are some of the best I’ve ever encountered – this is an experience that somehow feels tight and controlled yet also at times unscripted and emergent. Later come more opulent settings, gothic buildings, the walls lined with Renaissance paintings, the dining tables impeccably laid, each room housing a neat puzzle or a fresh enemy monster.Īt times there are slightly open, hub-like areas where you’re given a teeny bit of freedom to explore, but the leash is always tight and you are never bored or lost. The canyon area is a vast maze of wooden walkways, the wood weak and old enough to give way at any moment dropping you into the maw of another desperate standoff. You explore a farm where emaciated animals wander about then drop dead from hunger, and where every shack has some snarling villager waiting to stab you through the side. Photograph: CapcomĮvery location is a rotting smörgåsbord of gelatinous horror. Traipsing through the muck … Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 4 Remake. ![]() I love the way the major boss battles are foreshadowed, and how the world teaches you how to look for important rooms or crucial loot hoards. The locations where big fights take place are expertly designed, always featuring places to run to and catch your breath for a second, so you learn to read the spaces as well as enemy attack patterns. It’s the perfect melding of old and new Resi, of reminiscence and raw challenge. As you go, you collect cash to buy new weapons from the famed Merchant character (who has some real treasures in his collection), but it’s still a horror experience: there are jump scares there are tense moments where the camera occludes hidden enemies lurking in the darkness. ![]() The combat is expressive, tactical and tough, utilising a stripped down melee system that allows for crucial ammo hoarding, while still making your character feel powerful. We’re there in his boots as he blasts at enemies wielding pitchforks and chainsaws. The new Resi 4 brings the camera out a little further again, but we’re still very much with Kennedy as he traipses through the muck of festering farmlands and down the corridors of gothic castles. Gone too were the zombies, in favour of torch-wielding yokels and towering cult leaders, giving it the uncanny feel of folkloric horror, of The Wicker Man and Witchfinder General. Designer Shinji Mikami switched to an over-shoulder view, drawing the player into the protagonist’s perspective and making the shootouts much more immersive. Gone were the awkward expressionist camera angles and roving third-person perspective gone too was the peculiarly staccato and unintuitive combat of the first three titles. Veterans won’t need to be told that Resi 4 represented a new phase in the series when it arrived on the Nintendo GameCube in 2005.

![]() ![]() I showed her the safety switch that prevents the oven from operating with the cover removed. As i was working on the unit I was explaining to the wife the hazards involved. ![]() I figured it was all the bacon grease inside and a simple cleaning would eliminate the problem. Working on our home micro that would make a loud zaap zaaap at startup. I have also repaired several microwaves in my time. It wouldn’t be worth it financially anyway after the cost required safety equipment alone. I have work on no break loads of 127kV and there is no way that I would attempt his in a domestic environment. This is so very very far from safe in every conceivable aspect. Then I see people holding a wire rated at 50Volts and is carrying 2,000 volts so they are effectively connected to that wire and the only thing saving them is that they are insulated from the other polarity of the hi voltage.īut they think they are safe because of the 50volt insulation of the wire. Safety is an exceptionally complex thing. What are the limits of their cognitive load. What susceptibilities they have to distraction. What the limits of their spatial awareness may be. What their instinctive reflexes are and what could be the consequences of that. Safety is about understanding the limitations of the human in the middle of it all. Safety isn’t about how you construct the environment using “safe” equipment. Safety is about preparing for things you expect could go wrong though that is a part of it. Posted in Art, Science Tagged electrical safety, fire safety, high voltage, high voltage MOT, microwave oven transformer, MOT, public safety, safety Post navigationīut then there’s that day when it doesn’t turn on so you go down there to see why and drop dead because it did turn on but there was another problem that wasn’t obvious. ![]() Lithium Ion batteries are known for doing the same, and these Lessons in Lithium Ion Safety are a good refresher course. Of course high voltage isn’t the only way to spark a debate (or a fire). Perhaps such considerations will help us decide what mediums we want to use to share our projects with the world. Surely a 60 second TikTok video isn’t enough to do that, no more than a pair of jumper cables are suitable for safely handling 2-3 kV. What’s the takeaway from all of this? As hackers who share our projects with the world, it’s on us to convey any danger that somebody else may put themselves in by following our footsteps. Surely such ones are not cavalier with their own lives on a regular basis, but the seemingly innocuous “cool” factor seems to have made this highly dangerous project seem more attractive than dangerous, especially as it gets more popular on social media platforms such as TikTok. While many in the Hacker community would have our hackles raised, many of the people who will do such projects aren’t familiar with electrical safety of any kind, but are rather more interested in the artistic effects for inclusion in woodworking projects. Other projects using MOT’s typically rip out the high voltage secondary windings and re-wind them as low voltage, high amperage transformers, and are using in Spot Welders and even arc welders.Īs laid out by, the voltages coming from an unmodified MOT, ranging from 2-3 KV (That’s between two and three thousand Volts) at a very low impedance are right up there in the “Don’t go near it!” territory. The High Voltage is supplied by an unmodified Microwave Oven Transformer. The results of Fractal Wood Burning with High Voltageįractal Burning is a hobby where wood is burned by slathering wood in a conductive slurry and then applying high voltage to either side of the wood, usually using something not rated for high voltage, such as jumper cables. Sadly, there are over 30 documented cases of this project killing people, and more cases of permanent grievous injury. But then we watched the video and did some googling. With that out of the way, we have to admit that when we saw the subject “The most deadly project on the Internet” on ’s YouTube channel, we were a bit skeptical. And then, go to your local search engine and search the phrase “fractal burning death”.

Also, with the questionable nature of the Switch’s battery, The Jackbox Party Pack 3 is pretty easy on the juice, taking less than 20 per cent after roughly an hour-and-a-half of playtime.The Jackbox Party Pack 9 is here! Plan your launch party or Halloweekend with some brand new party games from Jackbox. We all had a blast just sitting around, cracking jokes and enjoying the humour of the game itself. However, when we learned it wasn’t a 24-hour Micky D’s and were quickly escorted out, we were able to set up in a friend’s car-the Switch standing on the dash, connected by a mobile hotspot it was completely seamless. During my experience with it, I took it with some friends to a local Mcdonald’s hoping to take advantage of the free WiFi and chow down on some late-night fries. In this regard, the game works unbelievably well on the Switch given its portability and general ease-of-use. The nature of the Party Packs’ gameplay, wherein the game itself is mostly run off and players use their phones to input answers, or in the case of Tee K.O draw pictures, means that the platform acts as a catalyst to the actual game. ![]() However, what I would like to review is their place on the Nintendo Switch, and I have to say, I was incredibly impressed. They’re excellent games, keeping with Jackbox’s consistent overall quality. The Jackbox Party Pack 3 was initially released last November, so I feel a review of these individual games would be a bit redundant. Trivia Murder Party is a spooky challenge where players compete in trivia and mini-games to escape a deranged murderer, and finally, what was probably the most fun, there’s Tee K.O: a kung-fu themed drawing game where players create designs and slogans for t-shirts. ![]() Included with The Jackbox Party Pack 3 are Quiplash 2: the game that’s a little like Cards Against Humanity where you’re given ridiculous prompts and you fill in the blanks with hilarious answers Guesspionage: which is a bit of an interesting take on Family Feud where players try to guess the percentage of audience polled questions Fakin’ It: where all but one players are given a “task” and the odd man out has to fake it or face the consequences! Since then, Jackbox has released several incredible party games. Imagine my surprise when I, the lone nerd amongst a group of normies, brought his Switch out for what seemed like a normal night of dinner and general hangouts, to see it be a smash hit, particularly thanks to The Jackbox Party Pack 3 an amazing collection of phone based party games, perfect for any occasion (apparently).įor those who are unaware, Jackbox Games first made their claim to fame with the irreverent trivia game You Don’t Know Jack, which was so popular it even got a brief TV show spin off. As much as I wanted to believe sexy 20-somethings could bring the Switch to hip rooftop parties, part of me couldn’t help but believe the memes that suggested this nerdiness wasn’t going to fly. I initially doubted the viability of Nintendo’s elevator pitch in that first Nintendo Switch trailer. ![]() ![]() You can do this by searching it up in your Start menu or by right-clicking on the desktop and selecting it.
