Les invités des médias chinois doivent par ailleurs suivre des règles précises, ne pas « être en désaccord avec les règles du Parti, ne pas utiliser de langage vulgaire et ne pas avoir un niveau idéologique trop faible ». Le 19 janvier 2018, une courte dépêche de l’agence Sina indique que l’Administration générale de la presse, de l’édition, de la radiodiffusion, du cinéma et de la télévision (SAPPRFT), aurait par la voix de son responsable des relations publiques Gao Changli (高长力) interdit aux médias chinois de mettre à l’antenne des personnes tatouées (wenshen yiren 纹身艺人), des représen- tants de la culture hip-hop (xiha wenhua 嘻哈文化), des sous-cultures (ya wenhua 亚文化) et de la « culture de la démotivation » (sang wenhua 丧文 化). Des dizaines d’articles, de la BBC à l’Express en passant par le Time tentent d’expliquer l’étonnante censure du rap chinois voulue par les autorités communistes, après sa spectaculaire émergence ces dernières années dans les médias officiels. ![]() “The games were sure to frame these conversations in the most tone deaf, disrespectful ways by ensuring the camera would frequently frame shots with her backside in them.Le hip-hop chinois a récemment fait l’objet d’une couverture médiatique internationale importante. “However, despite the game telling a story of a woman pushing past these insecurities,” wrote author Kenneth Shepard in his coverage of the edits for FanByte, specifically those concerning Miranda Lawson. Related: Bioware Narrative Director John Epler Claims Fan Disappointment With Mass Effect 3 and Dragon Age 2 Was “The Proto-GamerGate” Yet, near universally, these same journalists were found to have produced tweets and even entire articles dedicated to their attraction to specific fictional characters, with their respective celebrations on such topics seemingly standing in direct contradiction to their criticism of Mass Effect’s generous camera angles. When fans unsurprisingly took issue with BioWare’s newly announced cinematic modifications, as many believed that the changes were nothing more than yet another case of self-censorship, a number of video games journalists were quick to dismiss their complaints and condemn such fans as nothing more than ‘horny manchildren.’ Related: BioWare To Edit ‘Sexualized’ Cutscenes In Mass Effect Legendary Edition With the news that BioWare would be modifying some of the Mass Effect series’ more ‘curvacious’ cutscenes for the upcoming release of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the rush to chastise fans who disagreed with these edits has once again exposed the rampant hypocrisy seemingly inherent throughout the video games journalist industry.

But it doesn't stop there! Aside from camera and perspective manipulation, this tilt-shift video program also supports exposure and color adjustments through simple sliders. For spectacular results, perspective, width and intensity of the effect are adjustable with pixel precision and the built-in live preview ensures users will never be disappointed. Through a clever combination of focus and sharpness adjustments, buildings, landscapes and objects in your videos will look like miniatures in just a few clicks. The coating is applied to the extreme front lens surface, where it makes the glass easier to clean without damaging the surface.Brilliant miniature effects through tilt-shift filterĪshampoo Video Tilt-Shift adds the famous miniature effect to your videos that originally made a splash in the world of professional photography. And it boasts Nikon’s fluorine coating, which actively repels water, dust, and dirt without compromising image quality. The lens is compact and weighs approximately 885 g. There is no need use the shift lock mechanism to fix the lens position, thus avoiding unnecessary camera movement. The sturdy shift mechanism allows for smooth operation as you adjust perspectives. You can also lock the lens at ‘0’ and use it as a 19 mm manual-focus lens. When rotating tilt relative to shift, the lens can be rotated up to 90º with a click stop at 45°. The whole lens can be rotated up to 90° in either direction, with click stops at 30° and 60°. Tilt can be made parallel or perpendicular to shift, useful when you want to avoid the keystone effect in architectural images without the need for post-edit cropping. You can rotate the lens around its own axis, and adjust the direction of the tilt and shift independently of each other. Two PC rotation mechanisms make it easy to capture images that perfectly reflect your vision. Nikon’s Nano Crystal Coat virtually eliminates ghosting and flare throughout the frame, even in backlit situations. Three extra-low-dispersion glass elements minimise axial chromatic aberration. Two aspherical lens elements greatly reduce coma and other types of aberration. Thanks to its unique optical construction, the distortion common in wide-angle lenses is minimised, even at the edges of the frame. Like all NIKKOR lenses, the PC NIKKOR 19mm f/4E ED delivers images with exceptional clarity and sharpness. The 19 mm angle of view is ideal for large structures and spaces (when attached to a DX-format digital SLR, the angle of view is equivalent to that of a lens with a focal length of 28.5 mm in FX/35mm format). Or tilt to create landscapes that are sharp from the foreground to the background, without the need to close the aperture. Easily shift to create images unaffected by convergence. Its unique tilt, shift, and double-layer rotation capabilities give you extensive control over the lens’ focal plane. Offering a powerful combination of picture angle and image quality, this FX-format manual focus lens with perspective control allows superb compositional freedom. The optical design ensures outstanding image quality across the whole frame.ġ9mm Ultra Wide-angle PC NIKKOR Tilt-Sshift Lens The ultra-wide angle of view allows you to represent the true proportions of a scene, or take in more of the structure and less of the foreground. Ideal for architectural, fine art, and landscape photography, it’s made for photographers who have a keen sense of space.īoth tilt and shift can be engaged individually, and in combination, essentially replicating the movements of a large-format view camera. The Nikon PC Nikkor 19mm f/4E ED is the first PC-NIKKOR Lens to employ two PC rotation mechanisms to take flexibility to a new level. ![]() If you promise to stop (by clicking the Agree button below), we'll unblock your connection for now, but we will immediately re-block it if we detect additional bad behavior.
6/27/2023 0 Comments 256 hz tuning fork![]() As mentioned in a previous unit, locations along the medium where constructive interference continually occurs are known as anti-nodes. The loudness of the sound is the result of the particles at that location of the medium undergoing oscillations from very high to very low pressures. Now if a particular location along the medium repeatedly experiences the interference of two compressions followed up by the interference of two rarefactions, then the two sound waves will continually reinforce each other and produce a very loud sound. This is also an example of constructive interference. If two rarefactions (two low-pressure disturbances) from two different sound waves meet up at the same location, then the net effect is that that particular location will experience an even lower pressure. This is a form of constructive interference. For example, if a compression (high pressure) of one wave meets up with a compression (high pressure) of a second wave at the same location in the medium, then the net effect is that that particular location will experience an even greater pressure. The interference of sound waves causes the particles of the medium to behave in a manner that reflects the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles. And as a rarefaction passes through a section of a medium, it tends to push particles apart, thus creating a low-pressure region. As a compression passes through a section of a medium, it tends to pull particles together into a small region of space, thus creating a high-pressure region. ![]() In two cases (on the left and in the middle), constructive interference occurs and in the third case (on the far right, destructive interference occurs.īut how can sound waves that do not possess upward and downward displacements interfere constructively and destructively? Sound is a pressure wave that consists of compressions and rarefactions. The diagrams below show two waves - one is blue and the other is red - interfering in such a way to produce a resultant shape in a medium the resultant is shown in green. This type of interference is known as destructive interference. If an upward displaced pulse and a downward displaced pulse having the same shape meet up with one another while traveling in opposite directions along a medium, the two pulses will cancel each other's effect upon the displacement of the medium and the medium will assume the equilibrium position. This type of interference is known as constructive interference. As mentioned in a previous unit of The Physics Classroom Tutorial, if two upward displaced pulses having the same shape meet up with one another while traveling in opposite directions along a medium, the medium will take on the shape of an upward displaced pulse with twice the amplitude of the two interfering pulses. The interference of waves causes the medium to take on a shape that results from the net effect of the two individual waves upon the particles of the medium. Wave interference is the phenomenon that occurs when two waves meet while traveling along the same medium. 6/27/2023 0 Comments Pocket casts updateDespite strong initial optimism and a stated emphasis on experimentation - “We want to help make podcast discovery a better experience for listeners and its delivery and distribution more valuable to podcast creators,” Thomas Hjelm, then holding the role as NPR’s Chief Digital Officer, told me at the time - it never ended up being entirely clear what the consortium strategically had in mind with the app, which, in my understanding, continued to enjoy a strong following. ![]() The original participants of the consortium were NPR, WNYC Studios, Chicago Public Media, and This American Life, with BBC Studios Americas stepping in last March as a new investor. Originally created about a decade ago when Ivanovic and Simpson were operating as the independent Australian mobile development firm Shifty Jelly, the app was eventually acquired by a consortium of public-radio organizations in the summer of 2018. That we’re seeing a change in ownership for Pocket Casts shouldn’t come as a surprise. A spokesperson for Automattic noted that the company had no additional details to share beyond what’s mentioned in the official blog post on the matter, and a message by Ivanovic and Simpson sent out to its user base yesterday morning stated that they expect to share more details on what this transition for the app means over the coming weeks, and that they don’t expect users to notice any immediate changes to Pocket Casts for now. The terms of the deal were not made public. ![]() The move was announced early Friday, with Automattic stating that the co-founders of the popular podcast app, Russell Ivanovic and Philip Simpson, will continue to lead the product after the change in ownership. Some news, in case you missed it: Pocket Casts acquired by Automattic, parent company of Wordpress.

The ship was made in Corellia, the homeworld of Han Solo. The Millenium Falcon is a YT-1300 freighter that has been heavily modified to become faster, stronger, and more powerful. ![]() ![]() The Falcon has been active from Revenge of the Sith through The Force Awakens, spanning the course of some 50 years. The ship is proudly owned and maintained by Han Solo and Chewbacca. Proclaimed as the "fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy", the Millennium Falcon has helped the Rebel Alliance secure victory in many major battles during the Galactic Civil War. ![]() This early Blockade Runner actually had some rudimentary layouting done to accommodate the scenes from the script, which is the closest we're going to get as an answer to your question:Īll the pictures in this answer, along with many more images of the design process and the full story on what caused the last-minute switch can be found in this excellent article by Michael Heilemann, which I thoroughly recommend.The Millennium Falcon is a Vehicle in the Star Wars universe. If anything that's an early and slimmed down CR90 Corvette, however this design would be the look of the Millenium Falcon through the entirety of preproduction and if the rumours are to be believed a lot of the interior set construction as well. Wait, that doesn't look like the right ship at all. Was this (or other artwork of this sort) actually created for the original movie (for model/set construction)? If not, was anything done at the time which would have mapped out the interiors in a way that would have actually fit all those spaces into the ship as it appeared to stand in the Mos Eisely spaceport, etc.Įven though the pure answer to your question is a boring " There are no old deck plans." and " They didn't really think through the internal layout for New Hope." this is still a great topic.īecause the iconic Millenium Falcon was not the original design for the "Pirate Ship" from the original scripts.ĭoesn't look like much, does it? Let's jump a head a few steps to a proper sketch: There is, for example, this Millennium Falcon deck plan which I assume was drawn up retrospectively, and appears to pull it all together more-or-less logically. It was fairly easy to notice that the interior floor plan as depicted couldn't possibly exist within the footprint of the pub's exterior - rooms such as the kitchen would be out in or even on the other side of an adjacent street, and washrooms would occupy much of the neighbor's main floor. Between 19, there were interior sets representing various spaces within the pub, both in front of and behind the bar, and an exterior outdoor set. ![]() Specifically, I am curious about how the original interior sets harmonized with the exterior mockup(s) and "flying" models, and whether the interior spaces depicted on film could have actually fit in a logical layout within the envelope of the craft as seen from the outside.Īs an example of the TV magic underlying my point, I refer to the British soap opera Coronation Street and its iconic Rovers Return pub. But, I wonder how much was done for the very first movie back in the 1970s. These days you can find all sorts of artwork on the Millennium Falcon, including deck plans. 6/27/2023 0 Comments Transistor fm![]() □ Last year we hired Helen and Jason to work with us.

That telltale R in the title font is a not-so-subtle nod to Sonic R, while you can find more subtle call-outs in Team Sonic Racing's impeccable soundtrack. If you're from a certain strand of Sega fandom there are still plenty of deep cuts to be found here. Jet Set Radio's Beat is out, in other words, but Big the Cat is in. There are none of the rich, broad references to Sega's past - instead, this is a pure, dedicated Sonic game (a reverse trajectory to that of Mario Kart, funnily enough, which with the eighth instalment became a Nintendo all-stars series). For Sumo Digital's third kart racer for Sega, it sees the biggest departure from the formula yet. Team Sonic Racing is a very different game led by a different team, with development primarily handled by Sumo's Nottingham studio, staffed in part by former Free Radical team members. Panzer Dragoon! Skies of Arcadia! Burning Rangers! For players of a certain vintage, it was pure heaven. Some seven years ago Sumo Digital made, in All-Stars Racing Transformed, an arcade racer worthy of the greats, helped in no small part by how it leaned on so many of Sega's legends. Maybe that shouldn't come as much of a surprise - not if you've been paying attention, anyway. Availability: Out May 21st on PS4, Xbox One and Switch. ![]() Not that it's saying particularly much, but this might well be the best 3D Sonic in a generation or two. Just as Sonic Mania saw a group of talented fans going wild with Sega's icon to create something as good as, if not better than the very best 2D Sonic games, then the enthusiasts at Sumo Digital have worked similar magic here. Sumo Digital ditches the wider world of Sega for its latest kart racer, but for all that's lost a new focus and inventiveness is found. |
