Allen fights a good fight, is quick on her feet and intelligent, playing the Nazis at their own game. Granted, there’s a nine-year age gap between Ford and Allen – and Indy is actually looking for Marion’s father, Adner Ravenwood, at the start of the story – but it’s not an uncomfortable watch. Looking back, the relationship between Indy and Marion isn’t nearly as problematic as others seen on-screen at the time (or as corny as the one between Indy and Kate Capshaw‘s Willie Scott in Temple of Doom). Does it take away from the suspense of the scene? Maybe a little, but only because I took a second to chuckle at how far visual effects have moved on. With Ford standing against a stormy night sky, the fuzzy halo of light outlining him makes it obvious he’s standing against computer-generated clouds, while fake lightning cracks in the background. And it’s the same for certain CGI-heavy scenes, like when Indy and his team uncover the Well of Souls, for example. Yes, the ‘look’ of the film isn’t as shiny and new in comparison to recent blockbusters, but that’s 80s technology for you. With so much of the film set in foreign lands, and then mostly shot outside (and it’s 1936, remember), it’s difficult to say the film’s ‘aged’. With production based at renowned British TV and film studio Elstree, the story’s exotic locations take Indy on a global tour, shooting in France, Tunisia, California and Hawaii. Visually, it’s very 80s – compared to the supercrisp CGI we now take for granted – but it holds up. Chaos ensues as Indy and Marion become separated, are reunited, then dropped into a snake-filled crypt, before escaping again, blowing up a Berlin-bound plane and finally landing on an island where the Ark is to be opened and its powers revealed. Surviving a bloody fight, the pair then land in Cairo, where the Nazis are digging for ‘the Well of Souls’, where they believe the Ark is hidden. However, the Nazis aren’t far behind, with Major Arnold Toht ( Ronald Lacey) and his cronies interrupting their cosy catch-up. Travelling to Nepal, Jones bumps into former lover and definite badass Marion Ravenwood, played by Karen Allen. Set in 1936, Harrison Ford, Han Solo himself, stars as Jones, an esteemed archaeology professor tasked with discovering the Ark of the Covenant, a precious but lost artefact rumoured to have ancient, mystical powers, before the Nazis find it and use it for world domination. Spielberg, after reading it through, described it as ‘a James Bond film without the hardware’ and signed up to direct.įor those like me who are new to the story, it’s 115 minutes of pure action. Lucas wanted to create a series similar to those released in the 1930s and 40s adventure stories following a brave lead as they travel the world, fighting off enemies and saving civilisations. Lucas, running high off the success of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope, approached Spielberg when the two bumped into each other on holiday in Hawaii, suggesting he direct an adaptation of The Adventures of Indiana Smith, penned in 1973. It was adapted from a story by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman. Released in 1981, this was the first in Steven Spielberg‘s Indiana Jones series, followed by The Temple of Doom (1984), The Last Crusade (1989) and 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (but apparently we don’t talk about that one). Here goes! January’s pick: Raiders of the Lost ArkĬonsidered to be one of the greatest films ever made, my first choice is Raiders of the Lost Ark. I’m excited to be dipping into the archives, catching up with some of my loved ones’ favourites. Does the film hold up, so many years later? In today’s political climate, do its themes carry over, or does it make for uncomfortable viewing with 2020 vision? Over the next 12 months, I’ll be sitting down to tuck into 12 classics – many being 80s blockbuster hits – and will share my thoughts. I’m embarrassed by the fact I’ve reached my late 20s and haven’t seen some of my friends’ and family’s favourite films – so I’m using this year to right that wrong. My childhood picks, watched on repeat for weeks on end before swapping out for something else, were Jurassic Park, Mary Poppins, The Lion King…and Carry On Screaming! All titles my brother and I loved, wearing our VHS tapes down to nothing as we witnessed Tim and Lex escape from the jaws of a T-Rex, and gasping in disbelief as Julie Andrews pulled a standing lamp from her handbag, over and over again.īut other titles considered ‘true’ classics? Science fiction epics and Christmas action adventures starring Bruce Willis? Nope. These weren’t films I grew up with, or favourites of my parents’ they went on to share with me. I’ve also never seen the Lord of the Rings series. There, I’ve shared my embarrassment with you.

In its first year, the Task Force’s work saw 2.5km2 cleaned in council areas around the country. While the majority of consumers already bin their used gum properly, we know there’s still work to be done to change the behaviour of people who are disposing of their gum irresponsibly. We’re pleased to be supporting the work of the Chewing Gum Task Force again this year. Naomi Jones, corporate affairs director at Mars Wrigley UK, said: However, once the gum has been cleaned up, it is vital to remind the public that when it comes to litter, whether it’s gum or anything else, there is only one place it should be – in the bin – and that is why the behaviour change element of the task force’s work is so important. Monitoring and evaluation carried out by Behaviour Change has shown that a reduced rate of gum littering is still being observed six months after clean-up and the installation of prevention materials.Īllison Ogden-Newton OBE, Keep Britain Tidy’s chief executive, said:Ĭhewing gum litter is highly visible on our high streets and is both difficult and expensive to clean up, so the support for councils provided by the Chewing Gum Task Force and the gum manufacturers is very welcome. In its first year the task force awarded 44 grants worth a total of £1.2 million, benefitting 53 councils who were able to clean an estimated 2.5km2 of pavement, an area larger than 467 football pitches.īy combining targeted street cleaning with specially designed signage to encourage people to bin their gum, participating councils achieved reductions in gum littering of up to 80% in the first two months. That’s why we’re working with gum producers to tackle chewing gum stains.Īfter the success of the first round of funding, this next slice will give councils further support to clean up our towns and cities. Littering blights our communities, spoils our countryside, harms our wildlife and wastes taxpayers’ money when cleaning it up. Further grants of up to £25,000 for Antrim and Newtownabbey, Cardiff, Doncaster and Glasgow for the fully funded bespoke gum litter prevention package and long-term monitoring and evaluation carried out by not-for-profit social enterprise Behaviour Change.Grants of up to £25,000 for cleansing with a fully funded bespoke gum litter prevention package.Together, the producers have pledged up to £10 million over five years via the scheme to tackle gum littering. The Chewing Gum Task Force brings together some of the country’s major chewing gum producers, including Mars Wrigley and Perfetti Van Melle. It aims to clean gum off pavements and put in measures to stop it being dropped in the first place, helping clamp down on anti-social littering.Įstimates suggest the annual clean-up cost of chewing gum for councils in the UK is around £7 million and, according to Keep Britain Tidy, around 77% of England’s streets and 99% of retail sites are stained with gum. Launched in 2021, the Task Force was established by Defra and is administered by charity Keep Britain Tidy, with funding provided by gum producers. More than 50 councils across the UK are to receive grants totalling more than £1.2 million to remove discarded chewing gum from our streets and prevent it from being littered again.Īntrim and Newtownabbey, Cardiff, Glasgow, Ipswich, Liverpool, Sunderland and Wiltshire are among those to benefit from the second round of funding from the Chewing Gum Task Force. Whatever it is that you need, God is ready and willing to help you, if you’ll ask Him. If you need peace about your future, God can give that to you. That means that if you need help knowing how to deal with a situation, God is ready to help you. Regardless of what you’re facing right now, it’s nice to know that the Lord is always with you. You might be wondering who to date or how to handle someone who is mean to you. You might be uncertain about your future. When you’re faced with a difficult situation, it’s comforting to know that the Lord is always with you. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. Choose to let that nature rule the things you think, say and do. Determine to make decisions in light of that new nature. Our spirit is recreated and free from sin. So today, choose to thank God that He has made us fresh and new. And when old habits of our old nature pop up, it’s just up to us to say no to those things. If we stay sensitive to what our new spirit desires, we’ll make godly choices. And while we are still tempted to sin, our new nature desires to do the right thing. That old nature has been swapped for a new nature. There’s no trace or crumb of your old nature left in you. When you accept Jesus as your savior, you become entirely new. Just like those brownies were gone, Jesus made your old nature vanish. That’s a lot like what happened to you in Christ. I made them one afternoon and by the next morning, everyone in my house had eaten them all up. Have you ever made a really tasty treat? One time I made a batch of brownies that tasted so good. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new. Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new creation. Introduction of the blueprint process eliminated the expense of photolithographic reproduction or of hand-tracing of original drawings. the history of alterations recorded on the sheet.a record of the approved specifications.The result is a copy of the original image with the clear background area rendered dark blue and the image reproduced as a white line. The unconverted coating is washed away, and the paper is then dried. When a strong image is seen the frame is brought indoors to stop the process. Where the India ink blocks the ultra-violet light the coating does not convert and remains soluble. Where ultra-violet light is transmitted through the tracing paper, the light-sensitive coating converts to a stable blue or black dye. The frame is put out into daylight, requiring a minute or two under a bright sun, or about ten minutes under an overcast sky to complete the exposure. The tracing paper drawing is placed on top of the sensitized paper, and both are clamped under glass, in a daylight exposure frame, which is similar to a picture frame. Engineers and architects drew their designs on cartridge paper these were then traced on to tracing paper using India ink for reproduction whenever needed. This is a simple process for the reproduction of any light transmitting document. Excess ammonium ferric citrate and potassium ferricyanide are then washed away. The image is then developed using a solution of potassium ferricyanide forming insoluble ferroferricyanide ( Prussian blue or Turnbull's blue) with the divalent iron. When the paper is illuminated, a photoreaction turns the trivalent ferric iron into divalent ferrous iron. The paper is impregnated with a solution of ammonium ferric citrate and dried. The best known is a process using ammonium ferric citrate and potassium ferricyanide. The blueprint process is based on a photosensitive ferric compound. The blueprint process Architectural drawing, 1902 Architectural drawing, Canada, 1936 Practising engineers, architects, and drafters often call them "drawings", “prints”, or “plans”. The term blueprint continues to be used less formally to refer to any floor plan (and even less formally, any type of plan). It has almost entirely been replaced with digital computer-aided construction drawings. It was first largely displaced by the diazo whiteprint process, and later by large-format xerographic photocopiers. The process was not able to reproduce color or shades of grey. The blueprint process was characterized by white lines on a blue background, a negative of the original. It was widely used for over a century for the reproduction of specification drawings used in construction and industry. Introduced by Sir John Herschel in 1842, the process allowed rapid and accurate production of an unlimited number of copies. A blueprint is a reproduction of a technical drawing or engineering drawing using a contact print process on light-sensitive sheets. We recommend to take fairly big kites (12-17m2) or foil, if you are planning a kite trip to Hua Hin. The wind comes later in this period than in the beginning of the season, sometimes only in the afternoons. The conditions are ideal for beginners, especially from February, when the wind comes from the South, so it’s warmer and the water is more shallow. The beach is wide (except in high tide) and sandy, there are several kite schools, but Kiteboarding Asia has the biggest share with 3 centers. The kitesurfing zone in Hua Hin stretches between Mariott Hotel and Khao Takiap mountain. There were many extra light wind days and some with strong, gusty wind. This is the windiest season in this area, still the average wind speed was between 10 to 16 knots. We spent 3 months in Hua Hin (only visited Bangkok for 1 day, but the smell and the traffic chased us back to our quieter town) from the beginning of December to March. Regarding the main purpose of our trip to Thailand, we were quite lucky, we had wind 70% of the time. Well, I’m not saying I could eat it like pop corn, but surprisingly they were not that disgusting at all. Just for the experience and for a shocking photo we also tried fried bugs on the market one night. Yummy! Just like the coconut ice cream with rice, peanuts and condenced milk, our favourite snack after the kite sessions. One of their best desserts (sweets are not the thai’s strong suit I think, except maybe 2 or 3 dish) is mango sticky rice, which is exactly what the name suggests: rice cooked in milk until it’s really sticky and slices of mango on top. The pineapples were the sweetest, the papayas were the softest and we ate mango with everything. At the market we tried some fruits, we never met before, but even the ones we were familiar with, tasted better than normally. We tried something else each night and only when we knew the selection by heart, we went to other places too. It was basically a large square with stone tables and benches in the middle and different food trucks, booths around them. Thanks to some of the kite instructors, who were already familiar with the area by the time we arrived, we always had dinner at the best place in town. Finally we were able to try autentic pad thai, noodle soup and fried rice, and none of them disappointed. So transportion in Thailand was not something we are missing, unlike thai food… and we arrived to my favourite topic. Sometimes we waited 5-10 minutes before crossing a road. More challenging to get used to is the fact that pedestrian crossings have no It’s left-hand traffic in Thailand, but what was even Were almost the only ones choosing the slower, but more environment friendlyĪlternative, the bycicle. Well developed, most people use motorbikes and cars. Wealthier ones own nice vacation houses there. Kind of a resort area, even thai families go there for holiday and the Hin, a relatively big and modern town South to the capital, Bangkok. In fact they look at their every day life as a road that leads to Nirvana, so they work on being their best selves and developing their mind through meditation. The end of their existence on Earth doesen’t mean the end of their lives. They also believe in Karma, which encourages them to do good and help others. There is something liberating in the idea that you can achieve happiness without posessions or success, that your joy depends on you, not on outer conditions. We found Buddhism a very sympathetic religion though, and we can understand why is it so attractive to many. In Hungary, and I’d say in whole Europe religion tends to fade away from the new generation’s life. The most surprising thing for us was seeing so many young people bringing flowers, candles, even soft drinks and sweets to the altar and praying. These are not only tourist attractions, thai people visit them day by day regardless of age or sex. 90% of the country is buddhist, which explains the countless Buddha statues and sanctuaries everywhere. Religion playes a big role in their lives. For the TV fans of the world, this invention was futuristic and exciting. In 1997, technology company Fujitsu released the first-ever flat-screen TV to the public, which had a 42-inch screen, and weighed 40 pounds. What Company Made the First Flat-Screen TV? This TV invention would pave the way for flat-screen TV sales and truly jump-start its popularity in the retail world. The first functional flat-screen TV to go on sale came years later, in 1997 by Fujitsu. The TV had a monochrome orange glow and had memory and bitmapped graphics. It was cheaper to utilize and was used to try to solve graphics problems with computer monitors at their university. The first flat-screen TV invented by Donald, Gene, and Robert consisted of plasma technology. The men invented it as a one-time product and had no intentions of selling it to the public. Two professors named Donald Bitzer and Gene Slottow and their graduate student, Robert Wilson, came up with the prototype invention for the first flat-screen in 1964. Although a considerable invention for its time, the first flat-screen TV created by these professors was more of a prototype. The resolution was relatively low, and the quality was not what you’d expect for a current-day TV, so when was the flat screen tv invented? Cheap TV screens are used for displaying TV shows of popular TV series, or video consoles.Flat-screen televisions didn’t become super functional for a few years after their invention, despite some television companies taking them on. For displaying TV screens of popular TV series, not to music, but to alsoize on the wall with various built-in media player. There are various types of cheap TV screens, gaming TVs available, such as 4K TV screens and LED TV screens. Modern TV screens are characterized by their large selection, which makes them easy to use and allow customers to customize the screen to meet the needs of their customers. One of the most popular TV screens is modern TV screens, which allow to player music on the set-top boxes with all the essentials. They have the brightness and interfere with the display of different TVs, such as a flat-screen TV with a curved monitor, and LED TV lights are all possible for in-depth analysis of the device, which can be used to display the TV content in no time whatsoever. And high-speed digital TV has to be connected to the Internet from the device.ĭigital TV screens are the perfect solution for all the needs of your customers. These digital TVs allow all the information to be transferred on the TV, and in a hands-on way to make the purchases of additional TVs, so they don't interfere with all the basic features of the TV. The high speed of digital TVs makes it possible to see the image in a way, even if the TV is not full, it can be connected to the Internet using the LAN port, and allows the user to display a wide range of TV content, including on-screen, LED-, and a curved monitor. Television with a curved monitor, such as a built-in media player, delivers in light and compactness to any television in a curved monitor, and all similar devices have a built-in media player so that they play not only music and photos but also videos of various formats. What are the advantages of digital tv screens? Enough movies and TV shows ( Palm Springs and Russian Doll, to name two) have lifted the time-loop concept to explore similar themes, usually with a heavier hand. Bill Murray gives his most iconic performance as a grumpy, self-absorbed Pennsylvania weatherman who, by some inexplicable cosmic glitch, is forced to live the same day over and over and over and over (and over and over and over and over…) until he learns to look outside himself and let a little love into his heart. It’s not too late to correct that mistake, in the same way poor Phil Connors discovers that it’s not too late to become a better person – in fact, he’s got all the time in the world. Worldwide, however, the words ‘Groundhog Day’ are best known as shorthand for history repeating itself – in fact, there’s probably a not-insignificant population who know the phrase but not the film. The faux-meteorological American tradition known as Groundhog Day predates the movie Groundhog Day by a good century and a half. ‘I'll give you a winter prediction: It's gonna be cold, it's gonna be grey, and it's gonna last you for the rest of your life.’ Spinal Tap: for those about to rock, we salute you. Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer would keep gigging as Spinal Tap for three decades – proof that they were so much more than just a joke band in a funny movie. It also, lest we forget, defined an entire genre, accidentally inventing everything from The Office to The Blair Witch Project (not to mention lead axe-man Christopher Guest's entire subsequent career). these ones go to eleven') and some of the meatiest metal melodies this side of Bon Scott-era AC/DC, this is simply a perfect film: from the first chord of 'Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You Tonight' to the very final line ('I dunno, what are the hours?'), there's literally nothing about it that could be improved. Sporting arguably the most quotable script in movie history ('no. Yes, our experts have cast their votes and the winner by a clear margin is Rob Reiner's genre-setting mockumentary – or, if you will, rockumentary – about England's largest-livin', heaviest-riffin', filthiest-lyric-singin', biggest-hair-havin', fluffiest-jumper-ownin' heavy rock combo. You're asking, how much more funny could this be? And the answer is none. □ The greatest romantic comedies of all time What we are sure of is that no matter your sense of humour – silly or sophisticated, light or dark, surreal or broad – you’ll find it represented here. These are the movies that inspired intense guffaws the moment they first hit theatres and are still doing so generations later, and which we’re fairly confident will keep cracking up audiences another century from now. These are the laughers that have stood the all-important test of time, from the brilliant silliness of of the Marx Brothers to the unrepentant juvenilia of Jim Carrey, the rapid-fire joke-a-thons of Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker to the scabrous political satires of Armando Iannucci. So you can believe us when we tell you these are the 100 best comedy movies ever. In short, comedy is hard, and making a comedy that truly lasts is even harder. It’s a form highly dependent upon context, not to mention personal senses of humour – after all, one viewer’s LOL is another’s shrug emoji. What’s considered funny today may elicit nary a chuckle tomorrow, let alone five, ten, 100 years from now. Of any film genre, comedy has the highest depreciation rate. For those that need an efficient and accurate graphics tablet, however, Wacom is still the way to go. If you already own an iPad Pro and do not have a Wacom graphics tablet, or you are a nature photographer that is not doing pixel-level retouching, then this could be a viable solution. From the Mac app: Click on the Connection dropdown menu located at the top of your screen selection area, and select your preferred connection. Toggle between Wi-Fi or Peer-to-Peer from within these connection settings. Other aspects of the iPad Pro such as the smoothness of the Apple Pencil, the inability to calibrate the display, and the difference in screen aspect ratio make this setup not ideal for professional, full-time retouchers. From the iPad app: Open Astropad Studio’s sidebar and click on one of the two buttons for connection settings. Where the specifics tend to go astray for retouchers, is with the lack of built-in hover with the use of the Apple Pencil.Īstropad Studio does include a three-finger gesture that enables a workaround hover, but if you are repeatedly healing or cloning and sampling areas of an image, those additional gestures can add up to a lot of extra time. The cost for using Astropad Studio is either $79.99 annually, or $11.99 a month, which means adding a subscription fee to your retouching tablet of choice.Īdmittedly, Astropad Studio performs well, with minimal lag, making it an excellent option for illustrators and designers. However, the performance of Astropad is leaps and bounds above the competition. With complete workspace customization, Studio allows.

Astropad Studio Turn your iPad into a professional drawing tablet. Over the past two years, the Astro team has learned a great deal about what professional creatives are looking for from a graphics tablet. I have a bunch of the historical ipa files for it, but I’m almost positive that when you install it on an iPad mini, it won’t let you go past a screen that says this app is intended for larger screens. The real difference with Astropad Studio is that it is the new, flagship edition of Astropad. It’s the highest performance tool for the most demanding creative work.

MN Cup’s 2015 Grand Prize Winner Astropad is in the news with its new product, Astropad Studio. VERY quiet, all you hear is the bullet impacting the berm. Using a 180 grain Sierra RN bullet over Federal FLS/annealed brass with GM210M primers out of a 26 inch barrel Rem 700 PSS with 12" twist 10.7 gns is giving meġ041 fps, with an SD of 10.5. I backed off to 10.5, 10.7, etc, to 11.1 grain by 0.2 grain intervals. I did the Trailboss calculation based on bullet/case volume. I use both with a Gemtech Sandstorm suppressor. They were $4 per case since they're CNC machined from bar stock.Ī better solution in my opinion is to have two rifles,one subsonic only, the other supersonic only. In the past I've seen them for sale but haven't found them recently. You may be able to find reduced capacity 308 Win cases suitable for subsonic loads. The second problem of using a dual purpose subsonic/supersonic 308 Win is that its very difficult to get good velocity consistency (SD) with 56 grain case capacity using the tiny powder charge needed to drive bullets to 1000 fps. You'll more than pay for the barrel with the first suppressor you destroy. The speed of sound is 1052 fps at 0F, 1107 fps at 50F, and 1160 fps at 100F. A bullet that's stable at 1025 fps at room temperature can be very unstable in cold weather. Shooting heavier bullets is desirable for the added energy. With a bullet at only 35% of the normal velocity it has under 13% of the normal energy. All bullets are least stable around the speed of sound, with a "sweet spot" of better stability around 50 to 100 fps less than the speed of sound. Stability for a given bullet depends not only on twist but also on air density and velocity. Yes, You can get a 12:1 barrel to stabilize some bullets at subsonic velocities. If you must have a 308 Win rifle that can shoot subsonic and supersonic consider this barrel: 308 subs stabilize in a 1-12 barrel? I have a 700 p that I am cutting down to 18in and what to shoot subsonic ammo when I get my suppressor.

Another way to cleanse and recharge your Pixiu and Quartz energy is by using the Singing Bowl. On the internal energy level, one can use the moon or sun energy, by leaving them directly under the moon or sun, to cleanse and recharge the Pixiu’s energy. You can do so simply by using water and soap or bringing them back to your jeweller to get it professionally cleaned using the right chemicals. Physical cleaning involves cleaning the outside of your Pixiu. When it comes to cleaning your Pixiu (and the quartz that they usually come with), there are two levels you should do it – physical wise and energy wise. However, do note to avoid the eyes and mouth of the Pixiu when touching it since it uses them to seek wealth. The last tip is to wear and touch your Pixiu frequently, as it is believed that doing so will wake it up and also build its loyalty towards you. This is believed to allow the Pixiu to hunt for fortune and wealth outside and to bring it back to you. The right wrist is more ideal for sharing that fortune with others.Īnother tip to wearing the Pixiu is to face its head outwards (facing your pinkie instead of thumb). In Feng shui, your left side is believed to be the receptive side, while the right is the projective side. It is said that Pixius should be worn on the left hand. There are also some more specific tips when wearing your Pixius. Pixiu Jewellery comes in many forms, in particular bracelets. The best and the most popular way of enjoying the benefits of the Pixiu is by wearing it as jewellery. One interesting fact of Pixiu is that it does not have an anus, which signifies that it only allows money to roll in and prevent them from flowing out. Pixiu is often fierce-looking, with its look resembling a dragon mixed with a lion. Pixiu is believed to attract wealth and good fortune because of its money-drawing capabilities. It is considered a powerful protector of practitioners of Feng Shui. Pixiu is a Chinese mythical hybrid creature and is also commonly referred to in the West by the Greek word "chimera". |
