This fix, ensure that if such a failure is caught, it will not crash Outlook. If Outlook is run with the /embedding command line parameter and at the same time has been set up to prompt the user to select the profile to use on start-up, Outlook crashes when the add-in requests the list of accounts (mailboxes). Silent crash of Outlook when opened in /embedding mode and signature VSTO add-in is loaded This corrects that behavior, so no signature is inserted for such mailboxes. Signature insertion would insert a blank signature for mailboxes for which no signature was found.

This change also means that the add-in now handles signature insertion in all scenarios and no longer rely on Outlook and its default signature settings.

11/21/2023 0 Comments Kite fighting prankIn pull cutting, the flier quickly pulls in the line. To release cut, once lines are in contact, both parties reel out their lines until one is cut. The two most common types of cutting are done with abrasive coated line – release cutting or pull cutting. In multiple kite matches, the person with the last kite in the air is the winner. The person who cuts the opponent's line wins the fight. Some lines have thin blades attached to the tail, line, or kite. To avoid getting hand injuries ordinary string ( saddi) is used for the ground end. Most are flown with a set length of this at the kite end. Many of these kites are flown with a typically very sharp, abrasive coated line ( manja). By reapplying tension at the right moment, the kite will move in the direction that the flyer requires.Īlthough a spool that allows rapid winding and release of line is used, often the flyer will fly the kite by holding the line instead of the spool, with one or more assistants to help manage the slack line between the flyer and the spool. When the line tension is reduced, either by letting out more line or by the flyer moving into wind, the kite will begin to become unstable and begin to rock from side to side, or in extreme cases even spin. When the kite is flown with the line taut, the kite is deformed by the wind pressure, giving it a degree of stability. A crude method of making a kite flyable in over-strong wind, used in India where the kites are cheap and regarded as disposable, is to burn small holes in the flying surface, typically using a cigarette. If the wind is so strong that the spine and bow are severely distorted, no amount of bridle tuning will help with making the kite controllable. Bridling and tuning are only effective when the kite chosen is able to handle the amount of wind that it is being flown in. The design of the kite plays a role in the tendency for the kite to spin and pull, and how much wind the kite can handle. Left and right tracking are adjusted by either placing weight on the tip of a wing, or by weakening the bow on the side that the flier wants the kite to track towards. To make the kite spin more, the upper bridle line is shortened: to make the kite spin less, the lower bridle line is shortened. The spine of the kite has a slight convex curve toward the face of the kite. The length of the bottom bridle to the tow point is between 1⁄ 2 and 2 inches (13 and 51 mm) longer than the length of the two spine connections. The length of the top line to the tow point is the length between the two bridle to spine connection points. The second attachment is three-quarters to two-thirds of the total length of the spine from the nose of the kite. The first place is at the crossing of the bow and the spine. Afghan and Indian fighter kites and their variants have their bridles attached in two places on the kite's spine. Gelasan – The cutting line thread used in Indonesiaīridle position, spine curve, centre of gravity, and balance of tension on the spars all play a role in how the kite spins and tracks.Kai Po Chhe – the winner says this to proclaim victory.Manjha – cutting line of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan (but manjho in Rajasthan).Cerol – The cutting line /thread used in Brazil.Hilo de competencia (o Hilo Curado) – The cutting line used in Chile.Power Pro – A very thin braided fishing line used for American kite fighting.Spectra – A brand of fishing line used for American kite fighting.The spine may still be bamboo, but often along with the bow is constructed of fiberglass or carbon fibre. In modern American fighters, the kite skins are made from a variety of synthetic materials – mylar, aircraft insulation (orcon or insulfab), nylon, and polyester sheeting. In most traditional fighter kite manufacture, the skins of kites are made from a lightweight thin paper and the spars are usually made from a lightweight and flexible wood, usually bamboo. Kite fighting is contested in many countries, but particularly in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Nepal, Pakistan, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand, Chile and Brazil. Traditionally most are small, unstable single-line flat kites where line tension alone is used for control, at least part of which is manja, typically glass-coated cotton strands, to cut down the line of others.

So if you ever see me out and about, let’s play some football. This is in contrast to most Midwest sports fans, who are usually bitter and angry that their little team lost their little pretend game.

Again, everyone loves football.Įxcept for me, as much as I want to love it. I want to watch football - being a football fan, I feel, places you in a much larger global community. Personally, with the exceptions of my brief-yet-glorious stint as a goalie in pre-school and watching Ted Lasso, I don’t really get into much football. To me, that phrase is just helpfully listing your pronouns. I recently learned about a slang phrase: “he’s him,” referring to someone who’s like, that guy. Football really is the game that everyone plays (by the way, millennials, you just lost the Game). It takes a certain bravado and confidence to just name your sport “the game.” Cool, Britain. While doing the intensive and painstaking research required for a column of this scholarly caliber, I learned that FIFA - the international football association - operates from a code of rules called “ Laws of the Game ,” first written in 1863. Of course, modern football and its rules were created by the English, because imperialism. How about that! Multiple societies and cultures all independently developed some form of football. Keep this in mind the next time you tell someone to go kick rocks you’re really just wishing them a fun and fulfilling day of football.īecause it’s the most accessible sport, it’s also allegedly the oldest sport in the world.

Existing to soothe and comfort, and to reinstate a feeling of vigour, hope and optimism after a period, for fans and members, of turbulence and loss.What’s the most popular sport of all time? Surprisingly, the answer isn’t ping pong, I know. It’s not explosive, dynamic or unpredictable but familiar, safe, and reliable. There’s a staircase the band walk up and down a bit, a sliding door they enter in and out of, and some fairly basic visuals and lights. Production-wise, this isn’t a blockbuster pop show. “We miss you every single day,” says Bradley McIntosh, holding back tears, before they “bring it back for Paul” via the school disco anthem Bring It All Back. There are plenty of moments of bright, bubbly, bouncy fun be it the 60s girl group swing of You’re My Number One, the funk-pop of Bring the House Down, or the disco-indebted Don’t Stop Movin’ – which acts as a potent reminder of its once inescapable ubiquity.Īn extensive video tribute to Cattermole marks the halfway point as S Club return dressed in black.

Think tile adhesive, wood, fillers, concrete, or even stone. RaspingĬarbide oscillating tool rasps are great for coarse sanding. It’s a nasty job that can otherwise take a long time with a utility knife. Even if you never plan on cutting such materials, having a cutting blade can come in useful for removing old caulk. Such materials include leather, felt, rubber, carpet, and so on. Most oscillating cutting blades are designed for soft materials. CuttingĪ less popular use of the oscillating tool is to cut material. The diamond edge blades are more expensive, but they get the job done faster, and they will last much longer. For most applications, the Carbide edged blades will do the trick, such as tile joints, grout, or even concrete. The grout removal blades come in both carbide and diamond edges. The oscillating tool can make quick work of that. If you’re doing some tile work, like a bathroom renovation, you may have to remove the old grout. I personally prefer the triangle shapes as the corners allow me to get in tough-to-reach spots. Just pop on the sanding attachment and get it done.ĭepending on the sanding attachment, sanding pads are available in circular and triangle shapes. But I love using my 20v battery-operated DeWalt Oscillating tool for quick sanding purposes. I still use my corded DeWalt sander for big sanding jobs. While an oscillating tool is great for cutting and sawing material, it also doubles as a sander. But you’ll always get the most of your tool if you use the right blade for a specific material. You can use a wood blade for sawing multiple materials, such as wood, paneling, and drywall. If you buy an oscillating tool, chances are you have something specific in mind you want to saw. This is by far the biggest use of the oscillating tool. On oscillating tool is extremely versatile due to its acceptance of various attachments. The Ridgid set has a 1/8” grout blade while the Ryobi set has a flexible scraper and three pieces of sandpaper.Īt the end of the day, it seems like it comes down to material and the 1/8"grout blade vs the flexible scraper.What can you use an oscillating tool for? The Ryobi has three 3-1/2” flush cut blades, while the Ridgid has four, two of which are a ‘straight design,’ which is neither pictured nor sold anywhere (?). The Ridgid set has a 3/4” plunge cut, while the Ryobi has a Japanese tooth 1-1/4” plunge cut. Both sets have four 1-1/8” and one 3/8" plunge cut blades, a 1/16” grout blade, a triangular rasp, and a rigid scraper. Ridgid Set (missing the 'straight' flush cut blades)Īll of the Ridgid blades are high speed steel while the Ryobi set is a mix of bi-metal and high carbon steel. Mostly, I picked these two because they include a 3/8" plunge cut blade, which I think I will find useful, but am definitely open to other options. I've narrowed my choices down to two sets, both about $50, but there are some differences between them and I'm not sure which are the important details. I don't really have much in the way of projects planned, but would like to have a good set of blades on hand to take care of what comes up. I just bought a multi-tool and am wondering what would be a good set of blades to buy. 11/21/2023 0 Comments Ocean waves by studio ghibliIt's here that Taku's infatuation for Rikako is revealed, and Yutaka says, "I know you were holding back because of me." What isn't clear is exactly how he was holding back. The pair go for a sunset stroll along the pier as romantic music plays. Taku asks him to go for a walk and Yutaka looks a bit shocked, but Taku's sweet smile is too damn cute to turn down. Taku invites Yutaka in, but he refuses, he says he'll call him. They make up and as Taku leaves the car the pair seem to dance around the idea of hanging out for a bit. As Taku watches Yutaka drive, he seems to focus on his arms and hands, a shot that both suggests a longing for their touch and a remembrance of Yutaka's punch. Plenty of friends fight and make up, but that's a lot harder to do when you're in love with someone and those feelings get in the way.Īs an older Taku lands back home, Yutaka pulls up beside him and offers to drive him home. This kind of big friendship breakup only feels believable if you believe they have feelings for each other, which I do. They don't speak to each other for the rest of school and eventually go their separate ways. Just look at the pictures in this article, there's big gay energy in these stills - they're always staring off into the pink sky together.Įventually, Taku and Yutaka have a fight and fall out. He knows that Yutaka is into her, and narrates, "I felt unreasonably irritated to know that Yutaka was interested in Rikako, I thought she'd never see his real value.” If all this doesn't scream that he's actually in love with Yutaka himself then I don't know what to tell you. For a film that barely runs over an hour, this kind of detail comprises a lot of the film and makes everything seem more alive - it highlights that although the drama of the love triangle might feel all-consuming to the kids, life still very much carries on around it.Īs older Taku narrates, he claims, "I always thought of Yutaka a bit differently than my other friends." It's clear throughout the film that he cares how Yutaka sees him, as he keeps most of his encounters with Rikako a secret. There's another chef squatting outside and smoking a cigarette on his break, who blankly stares off into the distance as Taku gets his bike. A chef prepares fish with a scowl on his face, and grumbles under his breath, "you can't rely on kids", as the fish lands on the chopping board with a heavy thud. As he rushes off, his manager calls out to him, but he ignores her. Outside of the potential queer love blossoming, I love this scene because of how real the place Taku is working seems. He clearly cares deeply about Yutaka if he's willing to blow off work so quickly just to see him. This is the kind of moment normally expected between love interests, not friends. He immediately unties his apron and rushes to meet him. At the start of the film, Taku receives a call from Yutaka while he's at work washing dishes, asking him to see him after his shift. Taku often begrudgingly gets involved in her life, but it's more out of a sense of chivalry than any particular romantic interest. Instead of a film all about two boys fawning over a girl, they appear far more interested in each other than Rikako. And even though this may not be an intentionally queer film, people recreate Ghibli films all the time, so why can't I reimagine this as a queer love story? This gives the film a wistful perspective that is lacking in some of Ghibli's child protagonists.
