Cartoon facial expressions7/24/2023 You can find the example of stretch and squash in Tom and Jerry show. It is an important animation technique used in all form of character animation.Īt the time of facial animation, artist keeps this principle in mind. In case of stretch both the upper and the lower part of the face stretches a lot while in case of squash upper and lower part of the face comes in squashed position to express laugh. The above picture shows the example of stretch and squash expressions. Squash is contraction of muscles and stretch is extension of muscles.Īnimators use this stretch and squash principle to bring out character’s expression. Human face is made up of many complex muscles and we stretch and squash our facial muscles to depict certain emotion. The animator follows the breakdown of the facial actions according to the mood.īringing out the right facial emotion is the task of a skilled animator and thus sketching is the indispensable part of animation. The way to select the right expression for the character is to first break down the shots.Īnalyse the shot first, what is happening inside the shot? How the character is going to react about the incident? In 3D animation faces are modeled in three dimensional platforms.Ī 3D face looks more realistic and loaded with details like wrinkles, marks etc.Īnimator can communicate through the character by proper rigged face. If an animator fails to animate a face properly then the character will look like lifeless and dull. The answer would be because facial expression puts life into the character.Īnimated character has the same role as the real actor has in a live-action movie.įacial Expressions of animated character highlights the feelings and mood of the animated content.īoth in 2D and 3D animations faces are drawn with great care by the animators. So if you ask why animated character needs facial expressions? Thanks to the tremendous growth of digital media we have evidenced many animated feature films as well as short films till now.Īnimated character with facial expressions looks more close to real life character. In this blog we will talk about the importance of facial expressions in animation and why animators should do facial expressions first.ĭifferent emotions have different facial expressions.Įmotions like sad, happy, angry, confused can easily be expressed without voice-over or dialogues.

Soundwaves tapes7/24/2023 He is also available on Hasbro’s official Shopee and Lazada e-commerce stalls. Soundwave is available at departmental stores and Toys “R” Us, as well as specialised hobby shops like Robo Robo and Hobby Ark Toy Store. Soundwave: Transformers: War for Cybertron: Siege (left) and Transformers: Legacy (centre) and Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy (right)īut yes I have to flex that I have all three Soundwaves, heh. So the Transformers: Legacy version is the superior one, for me. I prefer the clean deco of him over the battle damaged one – I’m not a great customiser, so I definitely wouldn’t be able to remove the battle damage myself if I had to. He stands taller than the Transformers: War for Cybertron Trilogy figure. Soundwave: Transformers: Legacy (left) and Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy (right) He’s also a slightly different shade of blue. Soundwave looks better without his battle damage – but you can always pretend that the Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege version is him after a pitched battle with Blaster. Soundwave in “Cassette Player” mode Comparisons Soundwave: Transformers: Legacy (left) and Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege (right) Soundwave in “Cassette Player” modeīut really, all I want to do is play with his chest compartment and put the Mini Cassettes in. Soundwave in “Cassette Player” modeĭoes this mean Soundwave qualifies as a Triple Changer? Soundwave in “Cassette Player” mode There’s another fan “boombox” mode, but it doesn’t make use of his pelvis rewind/play/fast forward buttons, so I opted for this one. Granted, his Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy figure literally transforms onto a tape deck – but hey, don’t you want to give additional modes to your existing Soundwave? Soundwave in “Cassette Player” mode There’s also a fan mode where he becomes a cassette tape player. Soundwave and his cassettes Fan Mode Soundwave and his cassettes If you’re a Transformers: War for Cybertron collector, then you can pose Soundwave with his fellow Mini-Cassettes (or Micromasters, as they were categorised in Transformers: War for Cybertron). I prefer not to have his “shoulder” guns out. Soundwave in robot modeĪnd design-wise, it fits in quite well. Soundwave in robot modeĪnd pegholes for his feet. He has yellow light piping for his eyes, just like his G1 figure. Soundwave with all his weapons in combined modeĪlthough if you want him to be better armed, you can combine his weapons into the Sonic Compression Mega Blaster. Ready to jet off into space! Soundwave in spacecraft mode Robot Mode Soundwave with all his weapons Soundwave in spacecraft modeĪnd missile turrets are moulded into his front. It feels like you press the yellow buttons on the side. His undercarriage looks pretty okay as well. The flat surface of his alternate mode gives his cassettes (mentioned later) a place to “land on”. Soundwave’s alternate mode gives him the ability to fly (although he can actually fly in robot mode in G1 too). His weapons don’t come with any small, fiddly parts – nothing that’ll easily go missing here! Soundwave accessories Alternate Mode Soundwave in spacecraft mode with all his weapons You just need to flip his shoulders back and he’s ready to go! Soundwave accessories Since he’s originally from the Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege line, he doesn’t come with the Energon weapons that are a hallmark of the other Transformers: Legacy figures. Remember to recycle! Soundwave packaging Contents Soundwave contents Soundwave packagingīut this Soundwavev comes under the Transformers: Legacy line. His figure actually has his left hand’s forefinger pointing out, although not as much as the box art depicts it. Soundwave’s two modes are shown on the back (and you can even see the details of his empty chest). His Cybertronian spacecraft mode is depicted in its fully armed glory. Soundwave comes in the new windowless packaging of the Transformers” Legacy line. Soundwave and boxĪlternate Mode: Cybertronian spacecraft/Patrol HovercraftĪccessories: Concussion Blaster, Sonic Cannon, Blitz Charge Blaster (all combine to form the Sonic Compression Mega-Blaster) Packaging Soundwave packaging Soundwave gets new deco in the Transformers: Legacy line, which uses the Transformers War for Cybertron: Siege mould but redecos him without the battle damage paint applications. If you know that Soundwave transforms into a cassette player (and hence, you know what a cassette tape is), then you’re definitely grew up on G1. He’s been in almost every major series, and he’s actually a barometer of how a person’s age. Who hasn’t pretended to be Soundwave by speaking into a fan at maximum speed? There’s that combination of his emotionless voice, Decepticon symbol head, and nifty alternate mode that has always made him one of the most intriguing Decepticons.

Digital billboard7/24/2023 Digital billboards are one of the easiest and most convenient ways to spread a message, whether you want to make an impact in business or in your community. Why should you care? The answer is simple: more brand awareness, more loyal customers, more sales and participation from customers, and, in the end, more money in the bank. Simply put, a digital billboard is what happens when traditional advertising meets the most advanced LED technology in the world. You can change your message on the same billboard several times a day, which lets you be creative and try out different ways to get the attention of your audience. For example, the billboards are run by computers and can change automatically based on what you want. If a business, school, or even a church wants to use digital billboards to attract new customers or spread important news, one of the best things about it is that it’s not too hard for them. A digital billboard can catch a potential customer’s eye and get their attention with bright bulbs that bring your message to life. Think of a traditional billboard you might see on the side of the highway on your way to work in the morning, but with LED displays that can show words, symbols, videos, and photos. You may be wondering, “What is a Digital billboard?” A Digital LED Billboard is an easy way to get a whole new group of people interested in your brand, product and services, and help you grow, while still keeping your budgets in line. Are you ready to step up your advertising game? You may have advertised your company’s services in the past with more traditional marketing methods and are now wondering what you could do with a Digital LED Billboard. Anaconda prompt install package7/24/2023 A module can define functions, classes, and variables. Modules: A file consisting of Python code. It's possible to put several modules into a single package. Packages: A directory with python files (modules) and a file with the name _init_.py. Just like we organise our files and documents on our computer into folders and subfolders, we can organize our modules into packages. Modules allow us to be well organised, grouping related code saved in a file with the extension “.py”. Packages and Modules are two mechanisms that facilitate modular programming in python. When a module from an external package is required in a program, that package can be imported and its modules can be used. Modules that are related to each other are mainly put in the same package. This post will summarise the key terms in working with packages, how conda and pip can work (and not work) together.Ī python package is a collection of modules. It allows you to install and manage additional packages that are not part of the Python Package Index ( PyPI). Pip is the standard package manager for python, meaning you can use it both inside and outside of Anaconda. In introductory data science and python courses, you will often work with Jupyter, loaded through Anaconda Navigator ( Check out this post for a visual explanation of how these fit together).īuilt into Anaconda, conda is a powerful package manager and environment manager that you use with command-line in the Anaconda Prompt for Windows, or in a terminal window for macOS or Linux. When getting started with programming it can be difficult to understand how we install and work with packages using the multiple tools at our disposal. Bombardier challenger 3507/24/2023 Passengers can tuck their feet under the front of the seat, as people often do when working or eating at a table. The seat, made by a Bombardier supplier, has a tilting headrest and a “floating base” and allows for a “deep recline”. “We wanted to make something more sculptural – automotive, almost,” says Laurence Casia, Bombardier manager of industrial design and cabin innovation. “At 41,000ft, it is going to feel as if you are sitting on the ground in Denver.”īombardier is giving the 3500 its “Nuage” leather seat, introduced on the Global 7500, which entered service in 2018. “We are pumping more air into the bubble,” he adds. Bombardier can make the change by reinforcing the jet’s baggage-compartment bulkhead, says manager of sales engineering Mathieu St Cyr. When cruising at 41,000ft, that pressure will be equivalent to 4,850ft – about 2,000ft less than the 350’s cabin-altitude pressure. The 3500’s technical changes include the auto-throttle system and a reduced cabin-altitude pressure. The cockpit of Bombardier’s in-development Challenger 350 “The changes we are making now will keep us leaders in that position for a long time.” “We have been leading that market segment,” Martel says of the medium-cabin arena. Bombardier recently divested its commercial aviation businesses and intends to end production of Learjets next year, changes that will align Bombardier solely to the medium- and large-cabin segments, which it says are the most-profitable and fastest-growing in the business jet market. The 3500 programme marks renewed attention by Bombardier to the super-midsize segment following several years during which it focused heavily on its Global line of large-cabin business jets. But, at the end of the day, a jet’s “cabin is the most important”, Martel insists. Business jet manufacturers often promote the range and speed of their products. “We are raising the bar on our competition with a refreshed product,” says Bombardier chief executive Eric Martel. The 3500 will be a 10-passenger jet powered by twin Honeywell HTF7350 engines, with 3,200nm (5,926km) of range and top speed of March 0.83. The 3500’s performance specifications remain unchanged from the 350, which entered service in 2014. Those include reducing the Challenger’s cabin-pressure altitude and equipping the jet with its first auto-throttle system. It is also making a few technical changes.

Inetwork dony tran7/24/2023 Long-distance fast and high-speed rail studies have been undertaken in Australia over many years. The design is putting people first - giving passengers, workers and communities more choice, flexibility, reliability, comfort and accessibility.Ĭommunity engagement has been a key part of designing better networks and services. Faster and easier travel between Britain’s economic hubs in the north and south will better connect industries and people.Ĭompanies will no longer need to be located in London once the cities of the Midlands and North of England are within an hour by fast, frequent and reliable train services. High Speed 2 promises to be a catalyst for economic growth. The first phase between London and Birmingham will be completed in 2026. High Speed 2 is a new high-speed rail network being built in the UK. Professor McNaughton has also published numerous journal articles and publications on passenger and freight rail transport strategy, future technologies, high-speed rail and alignment of transport, land-use planning and economic regeneration. Professor McNaughton previously served as Technical Director at HS2 from its inception in 2009, following eight years as Chief Engineer of the British rail network. He is a Strategic Adviser to the UK’s High Speed 2 project and Chair of the International Railway Union World InterCity and High Speed Forum. Professor McNaughton has more than 45 years’ experience working on rail infrastructure projects. The panel will consider the possible network and advise on staging and delivery options. Four potential routes have been identified as the starting point for investigation into a NSW fast rail network. The panel will identify opportunities for regional growth and improved services, and present the blueprint for how the government will deliver the network. The NSW Government has appointed Professor Andrew McNaughton to lead an expert panel to provide advice to the Premier and Deputy Premier on how the government should best deliver a fast rail network to connect the state. Potential routesįour potential routes have been identified as the starting point for investigation into a NSW fast rail network. One of the key elements of the vision is better connectivity between regional centres, and from cities and international gateways. In July 2018, the government released A 20-Year Economic Vision for Regional NSW, a comprehensive vision for regional NSW for the next 20 years and beyond. The government wants to make it easier and provide more choice for people to live and work in regional NSW. Many of our state’s regional areas have room to grow and are keen to draw in more investment, generate job opportunities and attract skilled workers. Rhp310 codekit7/24/2023 This theme folder becomes my local CodeKit project. This would eliminate the step of me having to upload after every save and wait the full 3 seconds.Īdditional details about my setup: Basically I just have a local copy of the theme folder (which gets published to the directory of the remote WP site) - not the full site - just the theme. What I'd love to be able to do is have that remote website behave as normal but instead of using the remote CSS file, use the local CSS file that was just compiled by CodeKit. However, there's one glitch in my workflow: When I save the SASS file, I have to wait a second for it to process, and then I have to quick FTP it to the server before the browser refreshes (I've got it set at 3 seconds). I've got Browser Refreshing set up and I'm using the remote website as the "External Server Address." It works really well. I've got CodeKit 2 installed and am using it primarily to handle my theme SASS files. MAMP so that the client and I can be working in tandem.

In Jordan, there is a consistent increase in the demand for gold and its products, especially during the wedding and festive seasons which leads to a rally in the gold rate in Jordan today. From then on the king ruled, with the support of the army.Gold is one of the most precious selling metals of all time, and an important financial tool to overcome phases of financial instability. Hussein had meanwhile put together a new government, but the attempted coup killed any hope for the growth of genuine democracy in Jordan. Ali Abu Nowar was banished to Syria, but was forgiven after a few years and appointed Jordanian ambassador to France. He told them to calm down and return to their normal duties.Īll plans for a coup had now melted away, the king made sure that he was guarded in Amman by loyal troops and officers, and a Syrian force of some 3,000 men who had started to move south to Jordan, apparently in support of the conspiracy, thought better of it and turned round and went home again. When Hussein arrived at Zerqa, he was mobbed by excited supporters, hugged and embraced, and cheered to the echo. They recognised Hussein instantly, greeted him with joy and turned round to head back to Zerqa with him, while Ali Abu Nowar, who was now in fear of his life, was sent back to Amman in disgrace. A few miles from Amman the car met a lorry-load of troops advancing on Amman. He set off for Zerqa himself in a Chevrolet car, with Ali Abu Nowar in the back seat. There are rival accounts of exactly what happened between the two men, but Hussein, who was still only twenty-one, acted bravely and decisively. Meanwhile Ali Abu Nowar, who always denied having taken any part in the coup, arrived to see Hussein, soon after 7pm. The situation at Zerqa became desperately confused, with predominantly Bedouin units loyal to Hussein and the Hashemite dynasty rampaging through the camp, firing shots in the air and threatening anyone they suspected of plotting against the king, while rumours were flying that Hussein was already dead. Hussein told the loyal officers to pretend to go along with the conspiracy until the last possible moment. Loyal officers from the main Jordanian army base at Zerqa, eleven miles or so from Amman, got word to Hussein that a military coup was in preparation and that infantry and armoured units were about to be moved to Amman, to surround the royal palace and put the king under arrest. Reports of what followed vary considerably, but on April 13th the opposition to the king was apparently joined by General Ali Abu Nowar, recently appointed head of the Jordanian army, and other army leaders he had promoted to key posts. The cabinet isued angry condemnations, there were demonstrations in the capital Amman, and the leading figures in the outgoing administration refused to serve under three successive politicians asked by Hussein to form a new government. This did not please Arab nationalists, there were serious problems with Israel, Egypt and other Arab countries, and Hussein fell out with his own government, a coalition of Jordanian political parties, which he dismissed on April 10th 1957. Returning to Jordan, Hussein found that the country was heavily dependent on British money and support. He was to be succeeded by his eldest son in turn, the sixteen-year old Hussein ibn Talal, who had also been educated at Harrow and now went to Sandhurst for a few months, where he was bawled at by sergeant-majors as ‘Mr King of Jordan, sir!’ He accepted the decision with good grace and went into exile. He was succeeded by the eldest son he despised, the sweet-natured Talal, who had been educated in England at Harrow, which he hated, and suffered from schizophrenic mental problems of such severity that a secret session of the Jordanian parliament decreed his abdication the following year. Abdullah ibn Hussein became King of Jordan, but was assassinated by an Arab fanatic in 1951. The name was changed to Jordan three years later. The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan was the successor to Transjordan, an artificial Arab territory consisting almost entirely of desert east of the River Jordan, which was created out of the old Turkish Empire in 1921, ruled by the formidable Bedouin Emir of Transjordan, Abdullah ibn Hussein, and administered by the British under mandate from the League of Nations until 1946. |
