During the filming of one of the final scenes of the movie “Mori,” the actress playing the baby’s mother became so carried away on the set that she accidentally spilled water on the wires. One incident turned everything upside down. At that time, Celentano had a girlfriend, Milena Cantù, who had no idea that she would soon be abandoned by her passionate fiancé for a new love interest. The on-screen lover, Celentano, made numerous attempts to invite his uncooperative co-star on a date, complimenting her and persistently showing his interest. Her partner’s appearance reminded her of a monkey, and his unstoppable energy made the young woman keep her distance. Surrounded constantly by a crowd of numerous fans, the actress initially paid no attention to Adriano, having heard about his reputation as a troublemaker and flamboyant ladies’ man. The singer regularly held concerts in Rome and organized tours in France. She was exceptionally beautiful, intelligent, talented, and selective in her choice of men.

MeetingĪdriano Celentano and Claudia Mori first met in person during the filming of the movie “Some Strange Type” in 1963. In 1975, Mori was recognized as the most successful female performer in Italy. Her performance at Sanremo in 1970 brought victory to Claudia and Adriano Celentano with their composition “Chi non lavora non fa l’amore” (Who Doesn’t Work Doesn’t Make Love). In her youth, Claudia Mori began her creative career as a performer in music halls. Her creative career includes both acting in films and producing (since 1987). She was born on February 12, 1944, in Rome.

Book Review: 'Ragtime' By CHRISTOPHER LEHMANN-HAUPT. On a national level, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set a goal in 2015 to reduce food waste by half by 2030. The city and state efforts are trickling into US school systems too - both Maine and Rhode Island have introduced legislation to reduce the amount of food waste in schools. In 2019, the New York City Department of Sanitation expanded upon their organics separation rules, proposing that even more food-related businesses would be required to separate organic waste in an effort to keep nearly 100,000 tons of wasted food out of landfills each year. In addition, several states like Tennessee and Washington, and cities like Los Angeles and Madison, Wisconsin, have created food waste task forces to reduce waste, creating composting education and infrastructure and eliminating food waste from US landfills. There is pending legislation in California, Colorado and Massachusetts that would establish programs to fund private-sector composting and organic collection programs. According to the Vermont Foodbank, as a result of the new law, food donations statewide have increased 40 percent. Vermont’s “Universal Recycling Law” went into effect in July 2020, banning food scrap waste entirely. Legislators in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont have passed laws that restrict the amount of food waste going to landfills. The good news is that several states across the country are taking action to curb food waste and gain food recovery. Americans discard more food than any other country, nearly 40 million tons - or 30-40 percent of the entire US food supply. Composting isn’t part of our food-prep routine, so we continue to add fuel to the fire in increasing the sheer size of US landfills. We underutilize leftovers and toss food scraps that can still be consumed or composted. Our take-out society doesn’t use food in its entirety the way our ancestors used to. Americans are often impulsive in their food purchases, unrealistically assessing how much food is required, and as a result buying more food than they need or buying food they won’t actually eat. More than 80 percent of Americans discard perfectly good food because they misunderstand expiration labels.Ĭompared to the rest of the world, food in the United States is plentiful and less costly, and often this contributes to a general sentiment of not appreciating or valuing it the way other communities around the globe do. Labels like “sell by”, “use by”, “expires on”, “best before” or “best by” are confusing to people - and in an effort to not risk the potential of a foodborne illness, they’ll toss it in the garbage. More than 80 percent of Americans discard perfectly good, consumable food simply because they misunderstand expiration labels. Food spoilage, whether real or perceived, is one of the biggest reasons people throw out food. With so many people suffering and in need of basic amounts of food, why do Americans waste so much of their food abundance? Getting to the bottom of what causes food waste in America is a challenge that traverses the complex landscapes of socioeconomic disparities, confusion, and ingrained beliefs, layered with human behaviors and habits. It is estimated that nearly 35 million people across America - including 10 million children - suffer from food insecurity. Americans waste about 60 million tons of food every year. All told, the amount of food wasted in America has an approximate value of nearly $218 billion – the equivalent of 130 billion meals. In fact, food is the single largest component taking up space inside US landfills, making up 22 percent of municipal solid waste (MSW). That’s like every person in America throwing 975 average sized apples right into the garbage - or rather right into landfills, as most discarded food ends up there. That’s estimated to be almost 40 percent of the entire US food supply, and equates to 325 pounds of waste per person. Just how much food do Americans waste? Here’s some “food” for thought: While the world wastes about 2.5 billion tons of food every year, the United States discards more food than any other country in the world: nearly 60 million tons - 120 billion pounds - every year. I've tried the netcat-openbsd and netcat-traditional packages with no luck whatsoever. So, after a good at few hours of attempting to pull myself out of the morass of my own ignorance (or, as I like to think of it, to pull myself up by my own bootstraps) I came up with some useful facts.īut first of all, what led me on this rabbit trail instead of simply accepting the current best answer was this: nc is an unbelievably cool program that resolutely fails to work for me. So, to reiterate, how do I set up a similar network with TCP? I'm not sure if there's a way to tweak my NFS settings to handle huge files better, but I'd like to see if running an rsync daemon over plain old TCP works better than rsync over NFS. I'm using rsync to transfer them, and the command (on 192.168.1.2) is $ rsync -avxS /mnt/network1 ~/somedir The files average about half a gigabyte a piece, and the directories are all between 15 and 50 gigabytes. The above works fine, but the files and directories are huge. Where /mnt/network1 is specified in /etc/fstab asġ92.168.1.1:/home /mnt/network1 nfs noauto,user,exec,soft,nfsvers=2 0 0Īs well as in /etc/exports (using the syntax of that file), on the first netbook. On the first netbook and $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 up To network them, I type $ sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 up & ping -c 10 -s 10 192.168.1.2 & sudo /etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server start Hardware-wise, I am using an ethernet crossover cable to network two netbooks. I am having some trouble with NFS, and I'd like to try using just plain old TCP. –how much of Specter’s hood is fluffy cloth vs actual height? good question. they’re pretty consistent with each other (within a pixel or so) –fortunately, cold shoulder sprites exist, and a few other action-y type poses. –that said, even with player sprites, specter knight is HUNCHED OVER ALMOST ALL THE TIME. I will gleefully ignore them for this exercise Specter’s boss fight sprites are just piles of cloth with him slouching underneath. I have no explanation for this other than artistic liberties lol Stretch sprite: 46 pixels tall = 230 cm = 7 foot 6 (!!!) Normal: 36 pixels tall = 180 cm = 5 foot 10 Squash sprite: 32 pixels tall = 160 cm = 5 foot 2 –i refuse to count his fire-hair as height lol –has some fascinating squash and stretch in his sprite sheet –39 pixels tall = 195 cm tall = 6 foot 4. How about that! Maybe he has some kind of a battery pack for his propeller hat in the back of his shirt. –his least slouch-y sprite is his tuxedo sprite from the end of Plague of Shadows, so I used that initially… only to realize that he’s the exact same height in his other sprites as well. same size as shovel, aka also the size of a 9 year old. bird feathers do not count as height, final answerĢ4 pixels tall = 120 cm = 3 foot 11. –there are interesting things i could say about the bird feather situation but eh. So not only is Shovel the size of a 9 year old, but he might actually be the shortest in the class … the average 9 year old child is between 120-145 centimeters. i did wonder if his victory pose was any taller than his regular pose, but it’s notĢ4 pixels tall = 120 cm = 3 foot 11. But still not the tiniest member of the cast, believe it or not! –27 pixels tall = 135 cm tall = 4 foot 5. That extra pixel makes a difference for this tiny character lol –Tinker Knight slouches in almost all of his sprites, so I tried to find a sprite of him NOT slouching. Tiniest member of the cast, you say? Could you mean… Tinker Knight? Tiny plague knight, but as we’ll see later, not the tiniest member of the cast –Plague Knight is 31 pixels tall = 155 cm tall = 5 foot 1. This helps keep characters proportional to each other –Worth noting that I’m using playable/Showdown sprites as opposed to boss sprites when possible. Great question: I’ve got the rest of the math (with screenshot proof) under the cut:Īlright, in no particular order, let’s talk about Plague Knight next. So, what does this mean for the rest of the Shovel Knight cast? So when we divide 160 cm by 32 pixels, we discover that each pixel in the Shovel Knight universe is 5 centimeters in real life. It makes sense and it makes the math easierĬounting the pixels in Reize’s sprite, we can see that he is 32 pixels tall. It runs in the family, so I counted his height as being shorter than the height of his hair. *caveat: Reize’s hair is extremely fluffy. Let’s take a look at this boy’s sprite: (complete with blue Photoshop rulers in case you want to see where I measured from) His creator, Seizui, has been building canon around this character for years, and this link tells us that Reize’s canon height is 160 cm (5'3").

The first step was to launch a new engraving on a mastered architecture, the next year a new architecture was introduced to take advantage of this improved thinness and, finally, the third year was used to optimize all this. Intel was talking about a new strategy in three steps, over three years: process / architecture / optimization. In reality, a tick could also be accompanied by some new features, but this was not the main element.Ī strategy that Intel maintained for a decade, but then abandoned when it seemed unable to keep up. In the first year (tock), Intel launched a new architecture based on a previously tested chip, while the following year, the tick was an opportunity to introduce a new chip while keeping the previous architecture. It was an alternation between two technical evolutions. The scheme was then called tick-tock and the idea was quite simple. Future processes require more complex manufacturing and more exotic technology-IBM recently demoed a 7nm chip, though the commercial viability of this manufacturing process is less than clear-so these delays may become a common feature of the future.More ambitious and enthusiastic than ever, Intel is talking about a return to shorter cycles for its future processors.įrom 2006 to 2016, Intel had implemented a two-year evolution cycle for its processors. Krzanich indicated that this may not be the end of tick tock forever and that a more regular two year-per-process timeframe was still the long-term desire, but Intel's difficulties and changed plans show the continuing challenges with keeping pace with Moore's Law: the rule of thumb coined by Intel's Gordon Moore that transistor density will double every 18 to 24 months. Little concrete is known about Kaby Lake, but it's likely to be available in a range of lines from a 4.5W laptop part up to 80W dual-socket server and workstation parts. News of this processor appeared to leak last month along with its full name: Kaby Lake. Like Skylake, this processor will continue to use the 14nm process. Cannonlake is being pushed back, from 2016 to the second half of 2017, and in the interim, a third "lake" generation processor will be released in 2016. Transitioning to 10nm isn't expected to be any better, so Intel is extending the timelines. Kaby Lake breaks from the 'tick-tock' schedule that Intel has followed for most of the last decade that schedule has been replaced by something Intel calls ' Process, Architecture. The migration to 14nm was more challenging than anticipated, and there were issues too with the previous migration to 22nm. In a call to shareholders after announcing its financial results today, Intel CEO Brian Krzanich confirmed that this plan has been derailed. This was to be the next tick the processor architecture would be minimally changed, but the manufacturing process would switch to 10nm. The original plan was for Skylake to be succeeded by Cannonlake. Later this year Intel will release the first Skylake processors these will continue to be built on 14nm, but will contain a range of architectural improvements, and as such are a "tock." Since 2007, Intel has been operating on a staggered release schedule that alternates manufacturing process shrinks-"ticks"-with major microarchitectural improvements-"tocks." For example, the current generation Broadwell processors are a "tick," being the first processors built on the 14nm process. Intel has confirmed today that it will build a third generation of processors on its 14nm process, and that the switch to 10nm manufacturing has been delayed until the second half of 2017, showing the challenges that Moore's Law is under and bringing an end to the company's "tick-tock" strategy. Symmetrical Pure Class A microphone preamplifiers. The AD2022 is Avalon's fourth generation of fully discrete, Switched 2dB, high-gain preamplifier to +66dB High quality transformer input & isolated output This feature empowers the V5 with a new scale of sonic character.įorward musical detail and sonic excellence Two alternate solid-state topologies are cascaded to provide a rich, low midrange harmonic content not offered in other Avalon preamplifiers. The V5 includes the best of the Avalon U5 DI functions with a studio quality preamplifier and "a new sonic addition". They have found their way into the world's leading musicians rigs and recording sessions and have been featured on thousands of the best selling (and sounding) albums, downloads and live performances. The Avalon DI-preamplifiers have been in use around the world since 1985. This will change the lower limit of the dynamic range of the microphone/preamplifier combination, thus limiting the ability to measure very low sound pressure levels.ĬCP (Constant Current Power) is the same as IEPE (Integrated Electronic Piezo-Electric) and CCLD (Constant Current Line Drive) and is compatible with many other constant current driven products such as Deltatron®, Isotron, etc.V5 Pure Class A DI-RE-Microphone Preamplifier The only effect of elevated temperature is a slight increase in inherent noise level. Special versions for use at temperatures up to 120☌ (248☏) are available on request. They will work within their specifications up to a temperature of 70☌ (158☏). The casings are made of stainless steel for maximum strength and durability with minimal sensitivity to vibration and microphonics. They are all compatible with measurement microphones as defined in the international standard IEC 61094 “Measurement Microphones, Part 4: Specifications for working standard microphones”.Īll GRAS preamplifiers are built around a small, thick-film precision amplifier with very high input impedance. GRAS microphone preamplifiers are all small, robust units optimised for acoustical measurements with condenser microphones. The range of available prepolarized microphones is still not as wide as for externally-polarized microphones, although GRAS was the first in the world to introduce 1/4” prepolarized microphones and have also released a 1/8” prepolarized microphone. This is traded off by accepting a lower upper limit in dynamic range (due to the lower driving voltage of a constant-current source) which limits the maximum output signal to approximately 8 Vpeak, and the necessity of having to use prepolarized microphones. This means that simple co-axial cables can be used instead of the more complex 7-core cables used with the voltage driven LEMO types. The great advantage of CCP preamplifiers is that they use a two-wire system, where the signal is superimposed on the wire through which the current is kept constant. The output signal from the microphone superimposes fluctuations around this DC level. A CCP preamplifier uses a Constant Current Power supply, which must be between 2 mA and 20 mA (nominally 4 mA), to produce a constant nominal voltage level of 12 Volt DC (referred to as the bias voltage). Before that, the quality of CCP preamplifiers was not as good as the voltage driven LEMO types, but this is not the case today. The other principle uses a Constant Current Power (CCP) supply and was introduced around 1996 to the world of high-precision acoustics. It is voltage driven and can handle high voltage signals up to 50Vpeak. One is the traditional type for externally-polarized microphones often referred to as the “LEMO” type because of its 7-pin connector and has become an industry standard. There are today two different preamplifier principles in the world of acoustics. The highest level is related to the preamplifier’s supply voltage, whereas the lowest level is related to the electrical noise generated by the preamplifier itself. The dynamic range of a preamplifier is defined as the range between the highest level that the preamplifier can handle without distortion, and the lowest level it can measure. High microphone capacitance gives a low cut-off frequency. The lower end is determined by the input impedance of the preamplifier and the capacitance of the microphone. The frequency range of a preamplifier is determined by its electronic circuit and is typically more than 200 kHz at the high end and 1-10 Hz at the lower end. This makes it necessary to introduce a driver with high input impedance and low output impedance. The output from a condenser microphone is a very high-impedance signal and is therefore very sensitive to the capacitive loads of cables. When all seemed lost, Louis intervened, distracting Gutt with a challenge and slamming a chunk of ice onto his foot, allowing Peaches to Escape. Gutt held Peaches hostage in order to lure in the returning Manny. She talked to Ellie about her mistake, and her mother assured her that she would find a way to "make things right." It was then that they finally arrived at the land bridge, only to find it destroyed.Īt some point afterward, the animals were captured by Gutt and his crew. The day after, Peaches watched with regret as Louis sorrowfully walked on his own. Peaches excitedly agreed, even when Ethan told her to "ditch the molehog." Not even Ellie's advice about not letting a boy change her affected her mood. That night, she was visited by Ethan, who invited her to join his group the next day. On the way there, Peaches was so depressed that she was almost caught in a landslide, but was saved by Louis. When a landmass separates her and Peaches from Manny, Peaches starts sobbing since the last thing she and her father did was fight, but Ellie calms her down promising her that Manny will return as he is "the toughest most stubborn Mammoth I've ever met."Įllie take charge of the animals, directing them to go to the land bridge, as Manny had told her. When they return to the surface, Ellie introduces Peaches to her new home.Įllie is more supportive of her teenage daughter being on her own than overprotective Manny is (though in his defense, given what happened to his last family, it's completely understandable). When very close to Lava Falls, Ellie goes into labour, and gives birth to Peaches (which was named after the codeword that was for if Ellie went into labor on the trip). When they find the Dinosaur World under their feet, they have to go in and search for Sid in Lava Falls. In the third movie, she and Manny are mates and Ellie is pregnant with their first child. Manny and Ellie decide to stay with their old friends, taking along Sid, Diego, and the possum brothers. The mammoths trumpet while Manny and Ellie embrace. He was persuaded otherwise by Sid and Diego and confronted Ellie confessing his feelings, saying that he wanted to be together not because they had to be, but because he himself wanted to. Manny thought that because the mammoths had come, that Ellie would not want to remain with him. She and Manny escaped and regrouped with the others, but faced another problem, for the waters were still rising.Īfter the waters had subsided a herd of mammoths made their way into the valley. Manny rescued Ellie, for the water was flooding into the cave where she was trapped and had nearly drowned Ellie. But this proved to be disastrous: as they were trying to reach their destination, some rocks caved down and nearly crushed Ellie and her brothers, but trapped them instead in a sort of cave. Soon, however, this new "herd" reached a horrible obstacle between them and safety from the oncoming flood: a field of geysers, which Manny explained must be crossed, but Ellie would not listen: she and her brothers felt that they must go around. When Manny later implied that they must mate in order to save the mammoths from extinction, she was initially angered, but in time she apologized for overreacting. Upon remembering this, she knew that she was a mammoth. Soon, Manny got his time to be alone with Ellie when he and Ellie went for a walk through a wooded area, where Ellie had a flashback that told her of her past. During this time, Ellie displayed the mannerisms pertaining to an opossum as well as insisting (despite obvious proof that she was not a possum) and this tested Manny's patience, namely when she claimed that the act of bravery that he had done of fighting off the sea reptile Cretaceous was dumb. Nevertheless, he and his herd (or rather, Sid) welcomed Ellie and her brothers to travel with them. Initially Manny was overjoyed that he had found another of his kind, but got somewhat dismayed when he realized that Ellie believed that she was an opossum. She later forgot her origins and thought that she was an opossum. She came across two opossums named Crash and Eddie, along with their mother. It was revealed that when Ellie was young, she was separated from her herd during the ice age. |
