![]() ![]() The Custom Shave is about as generic-looking an electric shaver as you can find-a tapered hunk of black plastic with a non-floating head and an on/off switch. We initially wanted to look at the legendary Wahl 5 Star shaver the maroon-colored model is beloved by barbers, who have nicknamed it “The Brick.” But since it’s generally sold via pro barber-supply sources, we opted for a close cousin, the company’s Custom Shave, which is no longer available. Several of our testers said they used a manual razor to get those hairs at the end of the shave, which to us felt kind of like a “what’s the point?” proposition. Nearly every shaver manufacturer-in a tacit admission that these devices don’t really shave as close as a blade-recommends that you snag your longest, toughest facial hairs first, using the shaver’s built-in trimmer. All of the razors we recommend have pivoting heads, so maintaining a proper angle is easy, but if you’re using a shaver with a fixed head (such as a Wahl), make sure to hold the head at a right angle to your skin. Instead, gently pull the skin taut with one hand and let the razor glide over your face in slow, steady strokes experiment with circular motions and straight strokes, and going with or against the grain (you’re looking for the perfect balance of closeness and post-shave comfort). Don’t press those cutting blades into your skin. Men’s Health UK offers a fairly extensive tutorial, but the takeaway is: Go lightly. No matter when you shave, be sure to follow some basic-technique tips. Lower-end shavers tend to come with plastic head guards that snap on for transport they work, but we managed to lose almost every one of them during our testing. Most shavers come with some kind of carrying or protective device. ![]() The heads and foils on electric shavers are delicate and need protection.
![]() ![]() ![]() It can affect the skin and mucus membranes, including the genitals and glans penis. Like lichen sclerosus, lichen planus is also an inflammatory condition. skin that feels thin or like crinkled paper.Symptoms of lichen sclerosus can include: Lichen sclerosus is a chronic inflammatory condition that can primarily affect the glans penis and foreskin. One of the most common symptoms is itching. Burrows and papules due to scabies can sometimes be seen on the glans penis. Scabies: Scabies is an infestation with a type of mite.The chancre can appear anywhere in the genital area, including on the glans penis. Syphilis: A painless, round sore called a chancre is the main symptom of primary syphilis.Symptoms you may notice around the glans penis include discharge and painful urination. Gonorrhea and chlamydia: Both of these are sexually transmitted infections caused by bacteria.Infection can cause painful lesions or ulcers to form.

Candida infection: This is a fungal infection of the penis.Human papillomavirus (HPV): Some strains of HPV cause the formation of genital warts, which are raised lesions that have an irregular, cauliflower-like appearance.InfectionsĪ variety of infections can affect the male genitalia, including the glans penis. When both the glans penis and the foreskin are inflamed, it’s called balanoposthitis. A man who has balanitis may experience symptoms around the glans penis, such as:īalanitis can have a variety of causes, including poor personal hygiene, skin irritation, and infections. This happens when the glans penis becomes inflamed. Now let’s explore some of the various health conditions that can affect the glans penis and the symptoms you can look out for. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fact that the camera body offers weather-resistant construction provides additional reassurance though. ![]() It’s only when you add a chunky lens, such as the RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM zoom (that we were sent for review), that the setup feels more substantial, and, in our case, a little front-heavy. While that aids portability, part of us also feels that it’s a little less substantial than we’d expect of a camera at this price point. At a body-only 461g with card and battery inserted, it’s not much heavier than a point-and-shoot compact camera really. Pick up the Canon EOS R8 camera body and the first thing you'll notice is that it feels surprisingly lightweight. Interestingly, while the R8 features an electronic viewfinder, its maker has provided an ‘OVF assist’ feature for those who prefer the look of a traditional optional viewfinder, a simulation we’re told that works using HDR (high dynamic range).įurther features for the enthusiasts include Raw burst shooting, plus focus bracketing with in-camera compositing – both of which further the impression of a camera delivering high-end features yet accessibility simultaneously. Videographers have the option of 4K-resolution video up to 60fps, or Full HD up to 180fps, with the ability to record video for longer than 30 minutes. Flexible AF autofocus also features, which Canon explains as being able to increase or decrease the size of the AF zones. So, is the Canon EOS R8, potentially, the best full-frame camera for beginners? This being a Canon product we get subject detecting and tracking 'Dual Pixel CMOS AF II', with subject recognition now including horses, trains and aircraft, along with the ability for it to still determine focus down to -6.5EV equivalent – which is pretty much moonlight brightness. There's also a chunky on/off switch to the right side of the top plate which sits behind the command wheel and forward-placed shutter release button, rather than encircling it. Otherwise we get a very familiar top plate shooting mode dial with the regular Program, Manual, Shutter and Aperture priority settings, as well as a couple of customisable modes. While this is indeed a full-frame camera, the button layout is comparably straightforward and beginner friendly, including a dedicated switch to flip between stills and video this time around. Of course, Canon does offer image-stabilised lenses, such as the one we had on test, but having the belt and braces of both would have been the ideal. Unfortunately what we don’t get in the R8 is body-integral image stabilisation, though digital anti-shake is accessible in movie mode. For wildlife and sports photographers the top shooting speed is a generous 40 frames per second (40fps), although that’s an electronic rather than mechanical shutter. Since a full-frame sensor with 24.2 megapixels doesn’t feel overburdened, it’s hardly a surprise that the R8’s light sensitivity range can be extended from ISO 102,400 to 204,800 for stills. ![]() But at 414g without a card or battery inserted, it’s lighter than the existing EOS RP, while providing more user-friendly features such as a Guided User Interface (GUI) for those photographers/videographers still learning their craft. Slotting into an increasingly crowded line up, the EOS R8 inherits operational aspects from the EOS RP, while incorporating the sensor and processor from the EOS R6 II. ![]() ![]() If a morale advisor is available, take it. ![]() You may choose to later in the game, but you will need administration points for coring land and military points to get the first tech upgrade early. ![]() Don't give yourself a national focus at this time. You will still have some money to spare as you will most likely be losing a little each month. Make sure they are spread across three provinces to ensure they are available quick. This should bring you to one army unit over your limit. You’ll also want to make 3 infantry units. So let's get started.īefore unpausing you’ll obviously want to choose your rivals. You're first strikes you'll be moving north into Yamana territory then westward onto the Kyushu island. Doing this, you should be able to unify Japan without a single rebellion. If you find there’s still rebels after, then it’s time to reduce war exhaustion and a possible point into stability. You’ll always want to be increasing the autonomy on the provinces you capture to avoid them. The war exhaustion will build during your campaign, but at a fairly slow rate. You cannot afford to keep naval dominance as you need the money for your armies. You’ll have naval dominance for the first few years, but after be prepared to be blockaded constantly. You should never have to take out any loans during your conquest. If at any time you find yourself taking out loans, you’re doing it wrong. It sounds rough, but you'll be taking so many ducats from each lord you'll be able to succesfully fund an army (sometimes composed of mercenaries) to do so with more to spare. You'll be in constant war until it's unification starting only 2 months into the campaign. Those coupled with a morale advisor makes them very deadly at the start of the game. The most powerful of the Japanese daimyo's with a good leader and great starting ideas in infantry and galley combat ability. ![]() ![]() ![]() Although, at first glance, it looks to be a little cluttered.

Additionally, the leaves adapt to the biomes and change color accordingly. For example, the leaves have a lot of details now and are rendered with a 3D effect. Both packs try to make Minecraft look like a next-gen game. Patrix HD reminds us a bit of NAPP, which you can also download for free from our website. SEUS is only suitable for high-end graphics cards, so you should look for an alternative on our website instead. The creator recommends using the SEUS PTGI shader, but you can use any shader if you don’t necessarily need ray-tracing graphics. Another noteworthy feature is that a single block can have several different textures, which gives your environment a constantly changing look and makes the gaming experience more exciting. Also, many of the blocks are connected to each other, thanks to OptiFine. ![]() ![]() We were amazed to see so many textures featured in the Patrix texture pack. One major difference between Patrix and other realistic texture packs is that almost every block and item is included. Your game may not run smoothly with the highest version, but that’s not uncommon with these textures, as most players experience lags. It’s best to start with the lowest version, test the FPS you get in Minecraft, and then gradually work your way up. The pack’s file size is quite large, with over 1GB, because Patrix textures are significantly heavier than other packs with the same resolution. To begin with, there are four different resolutions available, but it is recommended that you choose the best version with 256 pixels only if you have a supercomputer, as it requires a lot of RAM/VRAM to handle it. Today, we will present the Patrix texture pack, which is perhaps the best realistic pack available. ![]() ![]() ![]() By the early 1960s however, Khrushchev's popularity was eroded by flaws in his policies, as well as his handling of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Khrushchev enjoyed strong support during the 1950s thanks to major victories like the Suez Crisis, the launching of Sputnik, the Syrian Crisis of 1957, and the 1960 U-2 incident. Despite the cuts, Khrushchev's time in office saw the tensest years of the Cold War, culminating in the Cuban Missile Crisis. Hoping eventually to rely on missiles for national defense, Khrushchev ordered major cuts in conventional forces. His domestic policies, aimed at bettering the lives of ordinary citizens, were often ineffective, especially in agriculture. On 25 February 1956, at the 20th Party Congress, he delivered the " Secret Speech", which denounced Stalin's purges and ushered in a less repressive era in the Soviet Union. On 5 March 1953, Stalin's death triggered a power struggle in which Khrushchev emerged victorious upon consolidating his authority as First Secretary of the party's Central Committee. After the war, he returned to Ukraine before being recalled to Moscow as one of Stalin's close advisers. Khrushchev was present at the defense of Stalingrad, a fact he took great pride in throughout his life. During what was known in the Soviet Union as the Great Patriotic War, Khrushchev was again a commissar, serving as an intermediary between Stalin and his generals. In 1938, Stalin sent him to govern the Ukrainian SSR, and he continued the purges there. He supported Joseph Stalin's purges and approved thousands of arrests. Under the sponsorship of Lazar Kaganovich, he worked his way up the Soviet hierarchy. ![]() He was employed as a metal worker during his youth, and he was a political commissar during the Russian Civil War. Khrushchev was born in 1894 in a village in western Russia. In 1964, the Kremlin leadership stripped him of power, replacing him with Leonid Brezhnev as First Secretary and Alexei Kosygin as Premier. After some false starts, and a narrowly avoided nuclear war over Cuba, he conducted successful negotiations with the United States to reduce Cold War tensions. He sponsored the early Soviet space program and the enactment of moderate reforms in domestic policy. During his rule, Khrushchev stunned the communist world with his denunciation of his predecessor Joseph Stalin's crimes, and embarked on a policy of de-Stalinization with his key ally Anastas Mikoyan. Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev (15 April 1894 – 11 September 1971) was the first secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1953 to 1964, and Chairman of the Council of Ministers (premier) from 1958 to 1964.

However, based on what is still in existence, it can be concluded that there were at least 5 separate funerary documents as shown in the following table: Reconstructed papyri from existing and known fragments Known Egyptian documents sold to Joseph Smithįunerary scroll made for a Theban Priest name Horus (also Horos, Hor). īecause the collection was later sold and divided and parts of it were lost in the Great Chicago Fire, its exact contents are unknown. He soon knew what they were and said they, the 'rolls of papyrus,' contained the sacred record kept of Joseph in Pharaoh's Court in Egypt, and the teachings of Father Abraham. As no one could translate these writings, they were presented to President Smith. The last of June four Egyptian mummies were brought here there were two papyrus rolls, besides some other ancient Egyptian writings with them. Phelps, Joseph Smith's scribe in 1835, wrote in a letter to his wife: I may add that two or three other small pieces of papyrus, with astronomical calculations, epitaphs, etc were found with others of the Mummies.Īccording to Cowdery, these two scrolls contained "the writings of Abraham and Joseph." in connection with two of the bodies, were something rolled up with the same kind of linnen, saturated with the same bitumen, which, when examined, proved to be two rolls of papyrus, previously mentioned. Eyewitness accounts conflict on the gender of the mummies, indicating it was difficult to tell. There were four mummies, two rolls, and various other fragments of papyri purchased by Joseph Smith and his associates. Due to the importance of the papyri to the Latter Day Saint movement, they have been heavily studied and debated. The rediscovery of the papyri sparked renewed interest and scholarship. The LDS Church acquired the fragments in 1967. ![]() The museum knew the importance of the papyri to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and, in 1966, reached out to church leaders to notify them of their collection. Not all of the fragments were burned, however, and some were eventually acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1947. Īfter Smith's death, the papyri passed through several hands they were presumed to have reached a museum in Chicago and subsequently destroyed in the Great Chicago Fire. A translation of the Book of Joseph was never published by Smith, but the scroll purported to be the untranslated Book of Joseph has been found to be a copy of the Egyptian Book of the Dead, a common funerary document, which contains no references to the biblical patriarch Joseph. The consensus among both Mormon and non-Mormon scholars is that the characters on the surviving papyrus fragments do not match Smith's translation. In 1842, Smith published the first part of the Book of Abraham, which he said was an inspired translation from the papyri. Smith said that the papyrus contained the records of the ancient patriarchs Abraham and Joseph. Smith purchased the mummies and papyrus documents from a traveling exhibitor in Kirtland, Ohio in 1835. The Joseph Smith Papyri ( JSP) are Egyptian funerary papyrus fragments from ancient Thebes dated between 300 and 100 BC which, along with four mummies, were once owned by Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter Day Saint movement.
