In other words, the choice of viscosity would be different depending on whether you are living in Finland (0W/ 5W-30) or Nigeria (5W/10W/15W40 or even 20W50). However, In order to lubricate an engine properly the oil must be able to flow at a consistent rate through a broad range of temperatures. Multigrade oils such as SAE 5W-30 and 10W-40 are widely used because, under all but extremely hot or cold conditions, they are thin enough to flow at low temperatures and thick enough to perform satisfactorily at high temperatures. The number after the W describes how thick the oil is at the engine’s normal operating temperature. The higher the number, the more consistent the oil is. What you need to look at is the viscosity index, which provides a measure of how consistent the viscosity of the oil is across a temperature range. The lower the number, the thinner the oil and the better the oil’s cold temperature/ cold start performance. For example, a 5W or 7W fork oil might end up being thicker than a 10W or 15W fork oil, which can make choosing one even harder. However, once warmed up to 210 degrees F, it. For example, a 5w30 oil weight rating means that on cold start-up even at subzero temperatures the oil flows like a 5 weight oil. In a 5W-30 for example, the number before the W describes the viscosity of the oil at low temperatures. The w stands for winter and indicates that the lubricant in question has a different viscosity, or different flow characteristics, based on temperature. This is why you would see something like this on the label: SAE 5W-30. Because the viscosity of oil changes with temperature, multigrade oils were developed to provide protection across a range of temperatures. The long answer:The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has established a numerical code system for grading motor oils according to their viscosity characteristics. The short answer:The numbers represent the viscosity of the oil and the W stands for WINTER. That’s what car service centres and mechanics are there for right?īut what if you find yourself in a position where you need to buy and put in the oil yourself? How do you know which oil to use and how do you read the label? What does SAE 5W-30 mean? Can provide enhanced viscosity control to better resist engine shear forces and help prevent viscosity grade breakdown Enable the formulation of motor oils that offer better low temperature performance. In fact, most of us don’t even know what is under the hood of our car, let alone the type of oil that is in our engine. ![]() Not all of us get to service our own cars. ![]() Yate battle rapper12/3/2023 ![]() ![]()

Everyone’s brows are so different, and this allows us to get scientific and precise,” she said. “We use our Billion Dollar Brow shaping tools to measure where your nose falls, where the outside of your eye is and where your iris is. There is an old school trick of holding a pencil right beside your nose and across to the corner of your eye, but Corbett says that isn’t specialized enough.Īt High Brow, to determine brow length they offer a service called the Ultimate Brow. When it comes to determining how long your brows should be and where the arch is, there is no cookie cutter formula. Waxing is very precise and the aestheticians only remove what they need to. She also recommends seeing a professional for upkeep via regular waxing every four weeks and tweezing minimally as needed (like the area directly in the middle of the brows). This is a once-daily serum that contains biotin and other vitamins to help the brows grow strong. “When you let the tops of your brows grow wild and natural, you’ll get a better, fuller and higher arch.” Condition your browsįor the 90% of her clients who have a spot on their brows they need to grow in, she recommends not over plucking and using a conditioning treatment like RevitaBrow, which they sell in the salon. Or they tweeze too much from the top of the brow, which drastically minimizes their full appearance. She often sees clients who are trying to achieve a higher arch so they end up tweezing in the wrong places. When you reshape your brow, it can actually give you a little eye lift.”Ĭorbett has been working with brows and training other aestheticians for 15 years. “As you get older, gravity starts to set in. “They frame your entire face,” said Stephanie Corbett, owner of High Brow Waxing Boutique in Whitefish Bay.

For every hit you land on the beat, you earn additional points, damage, recharge of your AP and more. The game functions as a mixture of character-action titles like Devil May Cry with rhythm games like DDR. Thankfully, Hi-Fi RUSH’s gameplay is every bit up to par. However, a game is really only as good as its gameplay, and all the aesthetics in the world can’t make up for an underbaked playing experience. I need the soundtrack on Spotify yesterday. ![]() The music is similarly top-notch with some great choices of licensed tracks, and some exceptional in-house headbangers. Couple this with the seamless cutscene to gameplay transitions, and Hi-Fi RUSH feels like you are playing a film like Spiderverse or the new Puss in Boots, albeit it at a smooth 60fps. The art design is probably one of the strongest takes on cel-shaded game graphics I have seen in years. The aesthetics of Hi-Fi RUSH are similarly top-notch. The bosses also serve as strong commentary on their respective industries (finance, marketing, etc.) with some nice pop culture flourishes. Macaron and CNMN (pronounced Cinnamon), Peppermint and later Chai’s friends both make a strong impact Macaron the delightfully wholesome pacifist who packs a big punch, CNMN the seemingly emotionless robot with hidden depths. Peppermint, Chai’s partner in crime, is a charming, smart but also insecure character with a great arc. Chai is a goofball, and a slacker, but also has a lot of heart. Part of the reason the tone and story work comes down to the strong characters. This is, for all intents and purposes, a feel-good game. It doesn’t take itself seriously, although some more subtle jokes pack a thematic punch, which shines through throughout the game. But unlike other titles that try this type of humour and grate, Hi-Fi understands how to pace itself. The pop culture references and winking toward the camera are so common, you’d think Chai’s eyes would hurt. The tone is not dissimilar from many Dreamcast-era titles, both in aesthetic and story, and the game relishes in this. The game’s story is simple but effective. Along the way, he forges new friendships, uncovers some of Vandelay’s bigger secrets and maybe even finds a greater purpose worth fighting for. Deemed a defect, Chai has to take out the department heads and escape Vandelay’s campus. However, his MP3 player ends up surgically attached to his chest and new arm in the process. After injuring his arm, Chai makes his way to Vandelay, a utopian tech firm that was shockingly not founded by George Costanza, to get retrofitted with a new robotic arm. You play as Chai, a 25-year-old wannabe rockstar and all-round lovable goofball. ![]() ![]() In stark contrast to Tango’s other games (barring the since shuttered Japan-exclusive mobile release “Hero Dice”) Hi-Fi RUSH is equal parts Devil May Cry, Jet Set Radio and Guitar Hero. Chai says he improvised a way to stop Kale, and in his infinite wisdom puts a sticky note on the plug saying “Do not touch.” So Kale is gone, at least for now.To back up a bit, Hi-Fi RUSH is the newest game from Shinji Mikami’s Tango Gameworks and The Evil Within 2 director John Johanas. Going into the SPECTRA rooms had all been a part of Kale’s master plan, but in the middle of his monologue, a janitor robot accidentally pulls the power plug out of SPECTRA. When Chai enters the final door a “Backup SPECTRA Protocol” kicks in, and it’s revealed that the SPECTRA AI is a backup of none other than Kale himself. Now Kale is actually dead, but there’s a bit more to the story if you go back through the game after the credits and find all the hidden SPECTRA doors. ![]() Hilariously Kale goes out in the most pathetic way possible, by exclaiming “this is just too much work,” before his suit explodes. We also learn that SPECTRA’s ultimate goal is to control the minds of consumers and get them to purchase more products, as Vandelay’s sales were starting to decline.Īfter a lengthy battle, and some help from the others, Chai manages to defeat Kale. Just before the final battle, we learned that Kale was only able to take over Vandelay by using SPECTRA on his own mother, thus handing the reigns over to him. Hi-Fi Rush’s ending is clear-cut, but there’s still important context to dig into -especially if you take the time to do some of the post-game content. BethesdaĮvery one of the main characters gets their time to shine in the final hours, leading right up to the climactic final battle with Kale, who launched a literal hostile takeover of Vandelay before the game started. There’s a bit more to Kale’s story if you dig into the post-game content. ![]() Soft autumn color palette hair12/2/2023 ![]() Rose gold is lovely on Soft Autumns but it needs to be blushy not peachy, and contain some depth.

They have different needs, require easier to use software because their teams may not be as well-trained, but they, too, like telling stories.Īpple, I think, realizes that this new social media cohort needs different tools. Their work is skilled, entertaining, and just as deadline driven as any network broadcast. But, the audiences in social media are vast and, often, larger than traditional media. It’s easy for “old-timers” to dismiss the rise of social media as amateurs and neophytes. Equally, it is significant that Apple says nothing about this. The power of saying “This popular show was edited in Final Cut.” would be significant. NOTE: It surprises me that, with the growth of stellar productions on Apple TV, Apple hasn’t added more professional features to FCP to support those high-end productions. ![]() Long-time users of Final Cut, though, work in more traditional, more demanding, media tasks like feature films, broadcast television, documentaries, streaming – industries with tighter standards, higher budgets and larger teams than social media. Apple looks at the market, I think, and says: “Where can our hardware and software benefit the most people today?” Clearly, in media, that’s the world of social media, influencers, mobile devices and simple, yet capable, tools. I think part of the problem is that Apple views the market differently from the traditional user of Final Cut. And, for the last three years, that isn’t a lot. Now, it may be that Apple has great plans for the future, but, since Apple doesn’t publicly discuss its roadmap, all we can judge of the future is what’s happened in the past. When you compare the feature evolution of Final Cut to either Adobe Premiere Pro or Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut is left behind in the dust. The occasional new feature gets released.īut implementing long-standing user requests or fixing age-old bugs? Not so much. To Apple’s credit, engineering has continued to support the software. ![]() The problem is that Apple does not have a history of developing high-end software unless it also supports sales of high-end hardware. But, with the release of Apple silicon systems – and their embedded Media Engine – even entry-level systems handle video editing with ease.
