Connor competed in the 2017 F1 Esports Series, reaching the semi-final phase. F1 2021 is a must-have for any F1 fan - casual or hardcore, but if you’re expecting a significant upgrade on its predecessor, then you’d be mistaken.Ĭonnor McDonagh has competed competitively on every Codemasters’ F1 title since 2010. ![]() We’ve seen a glimpse of that with ‘Braking Point’ but there still is so much untapped potential. With the full switch to next-gen on the horizon, Codemasters with EA have the potential to take the F1 franchise to the next level. ‘My Team’ and two-player career remain the title’s best game modes, while the longevity of the game will be determined by the state of multiplayer and when the three new tracks are introduced to the game. ‘Braking Point’ won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but it’s certainly worth playing through the opening few chapters to get a taste of it. Overall, F1 2021 is an evolution, not a revolution. Multiplayer still needs to be put through its paces but Codemasters’ response in recent years to fixes and updates has been better than in previous years so should any issues arise, no doubt they will be fixed in time for the competitive racing to get underway. Codemasters has often spoken about the time and resources it takes to construct tracks, which is a fair point but given that a lot of the tracks have undergone a partial makeover, adjusting Barcelona’s Turn 10 probably wouldn’t have been a big ask.įinally, the graphics continue to take a step forward, making the most of the PS5’s advanced specifications. While my experience of the two-player career wasn’t a smooth one - AI are still incredibly inconsistent and ultra-aggressive online, relative to offline and the car performance was set to equal despite it being a career mode, I was able to set faster times in the Alpine than I was doing in Time Trial in the Mercedes.ĭisappointingly, Spain’s Turn 10 and Australia’s Albert Park remain identical to their 2020 counterparts. With social gaming so crucial to the success of titles in recent years, it’s a no brainer from Codemasters. Similar to the co-op championship of old, two-player career offers players an exciting opportunity to experience career mode online with a friend. There’s so much untapped potential that Codemasters and EA can delve into in future titles.Īside from ‘Braking Point’, two-player career is a great implementation. Granted, the game mode isn’t aimed at me and casual players will thoroughly enjoy aspects of it. Storyline modes need options, choices and decisions that take you down different avenues and pathways - something that ‘Braking Point’ severely lacks. While I only played up until chapter five, the lack of diversity and linear approach ultimately makes it the same for everyone and means the game mode is ultimately something you’d only want to place through once. Ex-Haas driver Mazepin’s surprising new career outside of F1ĭifficulty aside, the scenarios range from recovering from colliding with your teammate Akkerman to picking up a puncture in your home race has potential but feel more like the old-school checkpoint challenges rather than an immersive story mode. ![]() ![]() Purchases in Indonesia are usually made via WhatsApp, and the company also receives requests to distribute the product overseas and is looking into it.Īlthough the BeCool coating has been well received, Beta has had some less positive feedback from journalists who said indoor temperatures have not dropped as much as desired. Since the Money Mind video appeared on YouTube, more people have visited BeCool’s website and contacted the manufacturer, which is a company registered under UPI, she said. AIR CIRCULATION, BUILDING DESIGN ALSO MATTER With the US$750,000 prize money to be disbursed in five tranches over three years, the plan is also to set up a national laboratory to study the properties of building materials, such as how much heat they reflect and absorb, she said. “We just want the product (to be widely adopted) in Indonesia and … at an affordable price.”Ī set of 20 kg of primer and 20 kg of coating costs 2.73 million rupiah (S$247), which can cover 120 to 160 sq m in area, depending on the absorbency of the roof material.Ī low-cost housing unit in Indonesia - at an average of 36 sq m - with a clay roof would need 13 kg of primer and coating each, estimated Beta. The product is free for public buildings like schools, orphanages and religious institutions, she said.įor commercial customers, the product, marketed under the BeCool brand, is still cheaper than other brands on the market, she added. The project will set aside 10 per cent of production for corporate social responsibility purposes, which would cover about 14,400 sq m annually, she shared. “My director (at UPI) gave me the land I never thought it’d be a factory,” she said. ![]() They kept in touch, and his past experience working on a US Department of Energy project on cool paints in South Africa was useful when they worked on proposals for the Million Cool Roofs Challenge.Īlthough not a competition requirement, the primer and coating have been manufactured locally since 2019 - at a factory set up at Beta’s university. ![]() The product is a version of a similar paint patented in the United States by the University of Florida and two companies called Milenium Solutions USA and WinBuild Inc, said Srinivasan, who met Beta in 2018 when he was in Bandung giving a speech on net-zero energy buildings. It consists of a primer, or undercoat, that dries in 30 minutes and a coating that reflects 84 per cent of solar energy and radiates 90 per cent of absorbed heat.Īfter it is weathered, the levels drop to 77 per cent and 88 per cent respectively. THE AMERICAN LINKĬool Roofs Indonesia’s water-based product is simple to apply, said Beta. While Aaksen did not calculate the drop in its electricity bill, she said there are also savings from running the fans less often: During “midday” hours only, instead of “almost all the time” previously. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you're trying to promote your blog or website or other product, please see reddit's policy on spam and self-promotion.

If you are still wondering what your book should look like, consider reading From the Desk of Joanne Bolton where you will find some great ideas on how to get started. Head and tail bands are added to conceal the top of the folded signatures and to strengthen the spine. The book construction includes two covers, spine board (optional) and 8 pages of endsheets glued to the front and back of the covers, concealing the edge of the cover material and gluing the cover itself to the book block. Hard cover books are the most durable style of book because of the sturdy binder board used for the covers, along with a strong sewn binding. ![]() ![]() ![]() 1 new Reform & Rehab Menu - provides information on the reoffending rates of all inmates, their work experience levels, and the number of reoffending prisoners.Animal Therapy - A behavioral therapy session alternative with animal interaction.Conflict Resolution - Groups of inmates with issues on resolving conflict peacefully, will receive guidance on how to do so in the future by a former, reformed inmate.Reformed Prisoner Consultation Former inmates who have been released and reformed will come back to prison to talk with those still incarcerated.Three Strikes Training - A training program that allows inmates to take part in the main Juvenile Correction program.Three Strikes Program - A program for inmates and troubled youth to interact, with hopes of a positive effect on both prisoners and the youth visitors.Includes 1 new external staff member, 1 item sprite (animal crate/box), and multiple animal sprites.Reform Program Research - Creating the new Therapy Programs and their successful completion by prisoner enrollee's.Prisoner Reoffending Rate - Reducing the Reoffending rate to a specific percentage. ![]() Reformed Prisoner Initiative - Awarded for reforming a required number of prisoners.Restaurant Service Scheme - Rewards building a Restaurant and serving Civilians.Bakery Production Skills - A grant that rewards building a Bakery and selling Goods to Civilians visitors.Meeting Room - A place for the new animal therapy sessions and Juvenile Correction program to take place.Restaurant - a room for inmates to produce food for civilian purchases.Bakery - a room for inmates to produce food for civilian purchases.Back to Society: Inmates can earn customizable work credentials through experience partaking in different work and training programs.Room for Improvement: Inmates with existing or earned work credentials can become vendors to both prisoners and visitors in inmate-run rooms, including a Bakery, Restaurant and Meeting Room.Reoffenders can be even more badass than they were before.

She was so focused on holding on to everything, she didn't realize it was limiting her life. It seemed obvious to everyone, all she was doing was keeping trash, but she couldn't see it. The lady told how that belonged to her children, that admits something to her and to put it back. At one point this man picked up an old popsicle wrapper, looked like there were thousands piled up in the corner, he asked if he could get rid of it. They went around to the side door, barely squeezed in. They knocked on the front door, but she couldn't open it. It got so bad, the authorities came to do an intervention. You can imagine how it smelled, how unhealthy it was. There was a small path to the kitchen to the bathroom and to a little place to sleep. And this one lady lived by herself in a two-story house, but you couldn't get upstairs, she had it so piled full of trash: old newspapers, empty cereal boxes, cans from food that she had eaten 30 years ago. I saw a documentary about hoarders, these are people that never throw anything away. They may come, but you don't have to hold on to it. You have to be proactive when it comes to keeping your mind in peace, because all through the day there's clutter, there's noise there's jealousy, there's hurts, there's a offenses. The scripture tells us to guard our minds. You can clear out the clutter, you can get rid of the negative things that are stealing your peace, taking your joy, draining your energy. I may not see a way, but God, I know you have a way". When the medical report is not good, when the contract doesn't go through, when you're in a legal situation, you can hold on to it, live worried, thinking "What am I going to do?" or you can let it go and say, "God, I know you're fighting my battles, I know what's meant for harm you're turning to my advantage. When you go through a disappointment, something doesn't work out, you can hold on to it, live discouraged or you can let it go and say, "God, I know you have something better. The past is over, this is a new day, I'm moving forward". You can hold on to it, go around down on yourself or you can let it go and say "Father, thank you that I am forgiven. When we make mistakes guilt will come, condemnation telling us how we don't measure up. You can't stop negative things from coming, but you can keep them from stay. If you're going to reach your destiny, you have to clear out the clutter. You weren't created to live worried, guilty, bitter, upset. And we wonder: "Why we don't enjoy life? Why we're not passionate about dreams? Why we can't sleep at night"? It's because our mind is cluttered. We're tempted to live guilty because of past mistakes and bitter over what didn't work out. It's easy to go around worried about our future, stressed over our finances, frustrated with our boss.
