![]() When it comes to brass pipes, pipe dope is also king. It’s just as effective at sealing gas pipes as it is with water pipes making it a highly versatile tool to have at your disposal. If they need a new sealant then pipe dope is going to be your friend. If your oven or hob has issues then the problem may be related to the gas pipes. ![]() That doesn’t mean to say that Teflon tape doesn’t have its merits (more on that shortly) but the versatility and price of pipe dope make it a hard sealant to match up to.Īlthough we’ve only touched on water pipes so far, pipe dope is also a useful sealing tool for gas pipes. Generally speaking, pipe dope is a more effective sealant than Teflon tape because of its ability to work across a number of different pipe types with high levels of success. Some consider this unnecessary but you’re essentially giving yourself, and the pipes, an insurance policy when one layer of the sealant starts to lose grip. You may be wondering how this tape works effectively without a sticky side but the tight wrapping clings to the threads so well that sticky tape isn’t deemed necessary.įor those who use both items to seal pipes, the tape is typically applied first before pipe dope is applied over the top. Typically, they will be wrapped around male threads before they are then screwed into female threads. Teflon tape, on the other hand, is a type of non-sticky stretchy tape that plumbers use to tightly wrap around pipe threads. Generally speaking, though, you can use any kind of thin brush to apply the lubricant. This type of sealant is applied to the pipe threads via a brush which also typically comes as a package with the dope as standard. ![]() Pipe dope is a lubricant that typically comes in either a tube or bucket. Some plumbers use solvent-based pipe dope to seal these pipes together, others use Teflon tape and some even use a combination of the two. As a basic requirement, they need this sealant to be water-tight to prevent leaks and pressure-tight to prevent any bursting. When a plumber is working with multiple interconnecting water pipes, they need a way to seal the connection between each set of pipes. ![]() Why Do Plumbers Need Pipe Dope And/Or Teflon Tape? Today, we’re going to be comparing the two items and announcing a definitive winner. While both tools do a job of creating a secure seal, each one has its own unique advantages. The first is pipe joint compound, more commonly known as pipe dope, and the other is Teflon tape. When it comes to sealing pipe threads there are typically two tools that are plumber will use. From tube cutters to water pump pliers and everything in between, you can expect to see a whole host of weird and wonderful things should you ever go rummaging through one. In the world of plumbing, there are various tools that your average plumber will have in their toolbox. ![]()

![]() If you have any question, do not hesitate to use the comment section! Everyone, have a nice day :D Fortunately you can't really see that from afar.Įt voilà! This is the end of this review. Honestly, if you look at Ludger closely, it's quite bad. It is way worse than the other Ichiban Kujis I own. However, the paint job is of overall poor quality. Turned out mine didn't have any big default, except for a red paint transfer on his elbow: ![]() I've heard lots of horror stories about Ludger in the NA edition so I was quite afraid to unbox him. The figure is in a blister, even though it is not sealed. The box is like every other Tales of Ichiban Kujis, with some illustrations on the side. There is also 3 pages with the DLC costumes I mentioned earlier.Īnd finally, Ludger's figure. For instance Ludger has 8 pages, the returning characters from the first game have 4 pages, etc.Īt the end there is a very short section with various illustrations and cut-in pictures. Its length depends on the importance of the character. By the way, everything is written either in English or in English/French/German/Spanish/Italian everywhere on the CE's box, so it's safe to assume all Europe will get the exact same collector.īasically you've a similar section for each character, main and supporting ones. Everything is written in English inside the book. My wallet will suffer from this, I tell you. There are a lot of pictures of the different DLC outfits as well, and all of them look really nice. Ivar is featured too, but not Karla T_T This is stupid it has 77 pages and features mainly characters illustrations. It is a very nice item indeed, with lots of illustrations inside. As mentioned earlier, its cover is different from the promotional pictures. Nothing surprises me anymore coming from Bamco Europe. ![]() The regular box of the game is shown to be included along with the Rollo steelcase. Strangely enough, on the CE very box, on the back, you have an illustration of the content of the Collector Edition. Unfortunately, Bamco Europe didn't bother to include a regular case for the game, so the steelcase is all you'll have to store your game. It's not the actual original soundtrack but rather a selection of tracks. It is made to go along with the Teepo steel case that was available in Europe for Tales of Xilia. It is a very nice item, the quality is really good. This is probably due to the problem I mentioned earlier, with all the items being randomly stacked in the CE box. Unfortunately, mine was loose in its box and came with a lot of paint scratches on it. They made a very good job at making the item look like it's precious, by putting it in a nice case and by including a little bag. If the box is being moved or turned over, you can be sure all the items inside will bounce all over the place. There is a little cardboard blister on the top that is supposed to stabilize the whole thing, but it is doing a poor job at it since it's clearly not a perfect fit. It is very nice though, with different artworks on every side, except the back where you find all the information.Īs usual with Bandai Namco Games Europe, everything is just stacked inside the box. The box is huge, due to the figure inside ITEM #194369. ![]() Let's get started!įirst, this is what you should expect based on the promotional picture: The European CE is supposed to be released on August 22 but I was able to get mine early at my local store. You can use it to compare the European edition with the North America one. It will not be a long review, just a short one with some pictures.

Rest assured, however, we can expect Ten Hag's side will have another vocal following when we go to West Ham on Sunday, as is testament to our loyal support.Noun If starters continuously struggle to complete at least five innings, relievers end up getting used on shorter rest. The Reds showed their appreciation after the final whistle, and while that will have been appreciated, it will likely prove little consolation on a tough night. United's fans were in fine voice from minute one, but were ultimately helpless as the toughest of finishes played out at the other end. The final word of the evening has to go to our travelling contingent that were situated at the south end of the ground. Tottenham and Villa are a point behind the Seagulls, in seventh and eighth respectively. The gap back to Liverpool in fifth, outside the Champions League qualification spots, remains four points, while Brighton have climbed up to sixth, four points below the Merseyside club and with a game in hand on United. The Magpies therefore stay two point above us, and we have now each played 33 games. The late loss means the Reds stay fourth in the Premier League and miss the chance to leapfrog Newcastle United into third. While having a role there, Fred was also tasked with helping to lead the press, and therefore regularly closed down Brighton keeper Jason Steele, as we attempted to halt Brighton's tact to build up slowly from the back. Our no.17 brought intensity across his 76-minute showing, and was key to helping United win the ball in a compact midfield area. In that last-four meeting, it was notable how much of the ball Roberto De Zerbi's possession-based side had, and it is likely Ten Hag will have wanted to thwart as much of that threat as possible by bringing the tenacious midfielder in from the off this time around. The Brazilian's inclusion - in place of Christian Eriksen - was the only change from the United XI that lined up at Wembley in the FA Cup semi-final against the Seagulls. ![]() He could go outright seventh during Sunday's trip to West Ham. ![]() He goes level with 1968 European Cup-winning shot-stopper Alex Stepney following his 539th outing for the Reds, meaning no goalkeeper has ever represented the club more times than David.

We hypothesize that dominant morning oscillator cells with shorter periods express PER, but not CRY2, or TIM1 as suppressor of clock gene expression, while two groups of evening oscillator cells with longer periods either comprise TIM1 or CRY2/PER suppressing complexes. The morning oscillators express shorter, the evening oscillators longer endogenous periods based on core feedback loops with either PER, TIM1, or CRY2/PER complexes as dominant negative feedback of the clockwork. Data were consistent with two synchronized main groups of coupled oscillator cells, a leading (morning) oscillator, or a lagging (evening) oscillator that couple via mutual inhibition. It expressed weakened rhythms and unchanged periods for Rm´per RNAi and shorter periods for Rm´tim1 RNAi and Rm´cry2 RNAi.As a hypothesis of the cockroach´s molecular clockwork, a basic network of switched differential equations was developed to model the oscillatory behavior of clock cells expressing respective clock genes. Unexpectedly, circadian locomotor activity of most cockroaches remained rhythmic for each clock gene knockdown employed. Rm´per RNAi or Rm´cry2 RNAi affected total mRNA levels of both genes, while Rm´tim1 transcription was independent of both, also keeping rhythmic expression. Single injections of dsRNA of each clock gene into adult cockroaches successfully and permanently knocked down respective mRNA levels within ~two weeks deleting daytime-dependent mRNA rhythms for Rm´per and Rm´cry2. With injections of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) of cockroach period ( Rm´per), timeless 1 ( Rm´tim1), or cryptochrome 2 ( Rm´cry2) we searched for essential components of the clock´s core negative feedback loop. With RNA interference (RNA i) we examined an ancient circadian clockwork in a basic insect, the hemimetabolous Madeira cockroach Rhyparobia maderae. Despite of conserved general schemes, molecular circadian clockworks differ between insect species. Circadian clocks control rhythms in physiology and behavior entrained to 24 h light–dark cycles. ![]() ![]() ![]() The yellow is very yellow, of course, but the shades like blue and green lean more yellow (aka warm). However, all of the colors have a warm undertone. The colors in this palette start out soft but get very bright, much like spring itself. Your coloring is warm toned, so you have green veins and warm toned hair, like golden blonde, brown, or auburn. ![]() If you have a darker tone of hair, like brown or auburn, your skin is usually a lighter tone combined with lighter color eyes. Meaning, your hair, skin, and eyes are all similar shades and lightly colored. You generally have light coloring for your ethnicity. There are three things that can put you into the spring category. Hair: Strawberry Blonde, Golden Blonde or Brown, Copper Auburn Skin: Fair with pink or peach undertones, warm beige, slightly bronzed, may have freckles Identifying with one of the four seasons is a great starting place if you find the 12 types either too difficult to understand or maybe restrictive in what you can wear. I mentioned above that there are three types within each season, and for Spring those are: Light Spring, Clear Spring, and Warm Spring. Whereas some other seasons are about contrast between your hair, skin, and eye color, the spring season is mostly about the color tone of these things, which leans warm (think yellow-y). It’s picturesque, and that’s what you should picture when you think of a spring color palette.

I’ve always enjoyed the commentary aspects. Do Sally’s difficulties as an actress ever wear on you, as a performer yourself? I love that the writers have been able to weave in this incisive commentary on women in Hollywood through Sally’s arc. But hopefully, the story is coming through. And it was great to have this kind of tonal departure and just really embrace it and trust that we're making something different. Sally’s had a tragic life, and I was wondering how far we can push it-pretty far, it turns out.īut it was a fun acting challenge, really. And so it was tiring, but it was satisfying. There was a weight to the boots, the costume. I was exhausted in a very particular way ,because there’s a weight. But I would feel it at the end of a full day of playing Emily. I really don’t subscribe to that way of working. We kept things really buoyant off-screen, in order to keep energy high enough to reserve space for this stuff. What was it like watching Sally’s circumstances become more and more bleak this season? She doesn't realize how dire and tragic things have become. She’s in Steel Magnolias in her mind ( laughs). ![]() I mean, a hapless woman stuck in a rural town is the most prestigious role you can get in Hollywood these days. And I think that she’s always been someone who's slightly performed her life and been taken to the next level, where she’s really giving Emily her best shot. She’s giving her Oscar best, and doing it all with the wig and the nails. Right? I think that Sally has decided, if I’m going to live this new life, I’m going to give the performance of my lifetime every day even if no one’s going to witness it. They’re not undercover, per se, in the way that they’re in a whole different world. Ultimately, there’s no point for her to be using that accent. I couldn’t help but think that, in some dark, twisted way, she was living out her ultimate actress fantasy. You mentioned the Southern accent Sally puts on. And suddenly, we’re in this wide-open space but also trapped in these tiny, insular spaces, when we’re in interiors. And we just embrace that we’re in this kind of different world rhythmically. It was just wild shooting it: the prep, the wig, the nails, the makeup, the accent when she’s at work. I wasn’t expecting to watch a full episode of their new lives, set in the future. I assumed we would just get glimmers of Barry and Sally’s future throughout the season, because the present-day narrative was already so compelling. ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() ![]() UpNext is part of Airbus’s ZEROe roadmap to develop zero-emission commercial aircraft. In addition to its pursuit of world altitude records, the Perlan Project is supporting the Airbus UpNext “ Blue Condor” project to compare contrails of hydrogen and sustainable fuels at high altitudes using two modified Arcus gliders, one fitted with a hydrogen-burning engine and the other with a kerosene-fueled powerplant. The team hopes to fly a modified version of the aircraft to 100,000 feet. The Airbus Perlan 2 mission team set the world subsonic altitude record of 76,124 feet in 2018 and plans to fly it to its ceiling of 90,000 feet next year. Airbus has selected Wyndham in WA as the location for Zephyr test flights thanks to the largely unrestricted surrounding airspace and reliable weather.Airbus will fly the Perlan 2 pressurized, high-altitude glider on July 26 at 2:45 p.m. The program is reminiscent of another Airbus project, the Zephyr high-altitude pseudosatellite. The experiments carried aloft in its instrument bay are yielding new discoveries related to high-altitude flight, weather and climate change. Unlike powered research aircraft, Perlan 2 does not affect the temperature or chemistry of the air around it, making it an ideal platform to study the atmosphere. ![]() The Perlan 2 glider incorporates a number of innovations to enable its mission: a carbon-fibre capsule with a passive cabin pressurization system that eliminates the need for heavy, power-hungry compressors a unique closed-loop rebreather system, in which the only oxygen used is what the crew metabolizes and an on-board “wave visualization system” that graphically displays areas of rising and sinking air in cockpits. To reach the highest areas of Earth’s atmosphere, Perlan 2 pilots catch a ride on stratospheric mountain waves The area around El Calafate is one of those rare locations where these rising air currents can reach to 100,000 feet or more. The phenomenon occurs only for a brief period each year in just a few places on Earth. To reach the highest areas of Earth’s atmosphere, Perlan 2 pilots catch a ride on stratospheric mountain waves, a weather phenomenon created when rising air currents behind mountain ranges are significantly strengthened by the polar vortex. The Egrett released Perlan 2 at around 42,000 feet, the approximate service ceiling of an Airbus A380. “Perlan Project is achieving the seemingly impossible, and our support for this endeavour sends a message to our employees, suppliers and competitors that we will not settle for being anything less than extraordinary.”ĭuring the flight, Perlan 2 was towed to the base of the stratosphere by a Grob Egrett G520 turboprop, a high-altitude reconnaissance plane that was modified for the task earlier this summer. “Innovation is a buzzword in aerospace today, but Perlan truly embodies the kind of bold thinking and creativity that are core Airbus values,” Tom Enders, Airbus CEO, said. “Our victory today, and whatever other milestones we achieve this year, are a testament to a pioneering spirit of exploration that runs through everyone on the project and through the organizations that support us.” “This is a tremendous moment for all the volunteers and sponsors of Airbus Perlan Mission II who have been so dedicated to making our non-profit aerospace initiative a reality,” Ed Warnock, CEO of the Perlan Project, said. The Perlan 2 being towed up in Argentina. The 2017 record broke a previous record that was set in 2006, in the unpressurized Perlan 1, by Perlan Project founder Einar Enevoldson and Steve Fossett. This marks a second glider altitude world record for Jim Payne and Morgan Sandercock, the same two Perlan Project pilots who soared the Perlan 2 to 52,221 feet GPS altitude in September last year in the same remote region of Argentine Patagonia. The pressurized Perlan 2 glider, which is designed to soar up to 90,000 feet, passed the Armstrong Line, the point in the atmosphere above which an unprotected human’s blood will boil if an aircraft loses pressurization. ![]() This sets a new gliding altitude world record, pending official validation. Airbus’ Perlan Mission II, the world’s first initiative to pilot an engineless aircraft to the edge of space, has risen in the stratosphere to a pressure altitude of over 62,000 feet (60,669 feet GPS altitude) above El Calafate, Argentina. ![]() |
