• Ten years after its launch, the Macan is on the cusp of a second model generation, now in all-electric form.
• As the first Porsche model built on the new Premium Platform Electric (PPE), the SUV is a completely new development.
• At the same time, simulations in both the virtual world and wind tunnel are increasingly precise and play an ever-greater role.
• All of which makes the new Macan one of the most aerodynamic SUVs – with a major impact on efficiency.

• Thankfully, with the right preventative and protective measures, the human body can survive these icy temperatures.
• Here’s what you need to know about identifying and treating the most common cold injury: frostbite.
• However, despite our bodies’ inherent temperature controls, without the right protection, we might still be vulnerable to cold weather injuries.

• For frostbite to occur, exposed body parts need to be subjected to a temperature that is below minus 0.55°C.
• At this temperature it will take several hours for exposed skin to become frostbitten.
• For example, temperatures in the -20s can cause frostbite on exposed skin in under 30 minutes.

Who does it affect?

• However, with the global population beginning to live in harsher environments and an increase in winter and snow sports, this is likely to increase in the general population.
• Reduced ability to sense the cold also increases the frostbite vulnerability of those who’ve had a stroke or have peripheral nerve damage.
• The consumption of alcohol also reduces blood pressure, which may also reduce the amount of blood pumped to extremities.

Symptoms

• Preserving the core body temperature is key to keeping the brain, heart, kidneys and lungs functioning and preventing hypothermia.
• This cooling brings about tingling and numbness of the exposed areas, and skin flushes red or white as the body frantically tries to rewarm itself.
• This initial stage is known as frostnip, and, although uncomfortable, leaves no permanent damage to tissues.

Treatment and prevention

• For frostbite, immediate medical treatment should be sought – sadly the pain of recovery is often far worse than the injury.
• Rewarming is the process of bringing the affected parts back to functioning body temperature.
• However, where ice crystals have damaged tissue, blisters are common and the nerves become hypersensitive, causing excruciating pain.

• As part of this initial project, the WAVE 500kW system will power two Class 8 electric trucks.
• Supported by an $8.4 million U.S. Department of Energy grant, the WAVE Wireless 500kW charger is being deployed as part of a consortium project.
• WAVE Charging is a flagship wireless charging technology and is committed to supporting its ongoing development and deployment.
• This includes exploring opportunities to incorporate wireless charging into the design of the company's next generation of electric vehicles.

• One of the reasons for the proximity of the breweries is the water used for sake brewing.
• The water used in Saijo's sake brewery district comes from the rain and snow that falls on Mt.

  KAMOSU TABI is a wellness tour that invites you to feel a connection with ‘nature,’ ‘local community,’ and ‘people’ through the traditional Japanese art of sake brewing.
• For lunch, enjoy a meal that takes advantage of the blessings of the sea and mountains, and sake from Saijo.
