It might never get as personal for you, but this movie will sure try to provoke an answer. Can the artist be separated from the art? It’s a personal matter for the people who found Szukalski and later made this movie. The question that lingers is how exactly can this forgotten-genius story be reshaped by the discovery of his twisted opinions. ![]() Szukalski’s past is full of a lot of antisemitism, sexism and bigotry. Remember the weird characteristics I mentioned in that first sentence? Here we go. The funny thing is that he seemed to be well aware of this fact himself. In these interviews it becomes clear that Szukalski is pure genius. He was helped by George DiCaprio, who would later produce this movie with his son Leonardo (!). ![]() The documentary, Struggle: The Life And Lost Art Of Szukalski, is a collection of tapes from numerous interviews in the 1980s between the collector and Szukalski. He traces him down and finally locates him living anonymously in a California suburb. There was almost no reference to the artist, but upon research the collector finds that they are by a man called Stanislav Szukalski. This is an amazing documentary but be warned, the main character has some weird characteristics.īy coincidence, an art collector stumbles upon an undiscovered collection of sculptures and paintings that can only be described as the work of a genius. When she’s carried off, it’s Larry Nassar, the pedophile at the center of the documentary, who carries her.Īthlete A is groundbreaking exactly because it illustrates that the problem is not only with one doctor, or the 54 coaches who were also found guilty of sexual abuse, or the morally bankrupt leadership of USA Gymastics it’s also about what went so wrong with society to see the abuse of young girls as cause for celebration. Meanwhile, her family, her coaches, the spectators - the World - is celebrating. She does this twice, limping between attempts and crawling off the mat on the second, crying. In one scene from the 1996 Olympics, gold medalist Kerri Strug has to run, vault, and land - all with a severe foot injury that was covered up by her coaches. Through interviews with Olympians, their families, and investigative reporters, it’s also a documentary on the overall culture of abuse in gymnastics: sexual, physical, and emotional.

![]() Finally, benefits of the suggested concept have been summarised and compared to the conventional car carrier design. On the global level, composite sandwich panels do not contribute to the hull girder bending, so longitudinal and racking strengths of the new structural concept have been evaluated using the complete full ship FEM model. For a predefined sandwich panel geometry and interaction with the supporting deck steel grillage, structural capability and compliance with the relevant Bureau Veritas (BV) rules of various feasible configurations were evaluated, whereby structural response was determined using the finite element method (FEM) on the local (panel) level. Various relevant aspects and results of the case study are undertaken with the aim to determine a feasible structural design of the lightweight, cost-effective and easily installable composite sandwich panels intended to carry vehicles loaded on fixed decks. a combination of steel deck grillage and composite sandwich panels. ![]() To increase deadweight and reduce structural mass, vertical centre of gravity and fuel consumptions, three upper fixed vehicles decks have been designed as a hybrid concept, i.e. The paper presents the main structural aspects of the innovative car carrier being designed and built by the Uljanik Shipyard as a Newbuilding 513-514. This paper discusses and highlights basic challenges in the structural design and analysis of the ‘open type’ livestock carriers, using ULJANIK shipyard Newbuilding 526 as an example. ![]() Since relatively small number of vessels of this kind currently exists, their specific structural aspects are poorly documented in the literature. This kind of ship topology generates two main structural challenges in: (1) longitudinal strength due to partially effective participation of the superstructure in global hull girder bending and (2) transverse/racking strength due to absence of transverse bulkheads in the superstructure. The height of the superstructure is approximately equal to the height of the lower hull and the influence of hull-superstructure interaction on longitudinal strength is very important and should be taken into consideration during determination of the structural scantlings in very early design phase. ‘Open type’ livestock carriers are multi-deck ships characterised by the large openings in the superstructure side shell and with the absence of transverse and longitudinal bulkheads in the superstructure. ![]() Beneath the two bars, users can customize chosen mediums.

The team at Paint.NET did clarify that their preferred method of receiving financial support is through the donation option on their official website because Microsoft takes a percentage from sales.īoth the free and paid offerings support plugin capabilities. Despite users mentioning that they were willing to pay for the design project, the developers were not receiving adequate donations to mirror those claims. While offering friendly help to answer additional questions about the change, the creator alluded to charging money for the new version of the app for financial reasons on the Paint.NET blog.

This purchasable paint shop application has improved automatic updates, easier installations, etc. While the ‘Classic’ edition of Paint.NET is a free download, the creators launched a new release that is a paid version. Advancements are consistently being made to Paint.NET. The idea resulted in a successfully safe alternative to the Microsoft photo editor tool. Remember: No effect is a replacement for a high resolution original image if the work was created in such format.Mentored by Microsoft and led by an undergraduate college student, Paint.NET came about to provide a free replacement to the Microsoft Paint software that was native to Windows electronics. They are Smilla (=freeware) and On1 Resize (=commercial). If you happen to have the image in the original pixelated form which isn't scaled up you can apply a image enlargening program which removes jaggies but keeps sharp borders. Cutout makes this result in the right:Ĭutout has limited number of simultaneous colors, so the shapes are filtered separately with different settings.Īs a workaround with Paint.NET's standard effects do the following:Īpply few px gaussian blur or use an image version which is upscaled from pixel art with a blurry method such as bicubic resampling.Īpply Effects > Artistic > Oil Painting to generate sharp edges: Photoshop's Filter > Artistic > Cutout would make the wanted smoothing, but it isn't available in Paint.NET. Other common scaling methods would generate blur. Your original seems to be pixel art which is scaled to a bigger size with nearest neighbour method to save the pixelization. If anyones got any idea of what this effect may be Called, or if they have resources to show me where and how I could create this effect myself, please answer below. See the Sprites below that the XNB filter was applied to. So its not completely compatible with it.Īs you can see, I want to create THIS effect with any pixel based photo, is something like this possible with a basic algorithm or extension for PDN, or maybe just a program or site online that can create this effect? However, terarria has some sprites Merged with Frames and Gridlines, and it causes grahpical errors and stretched sprites. This filter takes the pixels around an area and its color, and apparently the algorithm generates the image solely on that? ![]() I particularly had an interest in using this with the minecraft textures, as they are each seperated into image files.

![]() They are caught by divers who fish for them in around 4 – 10 meters of water. The fishing process in itself is very interesting. The annual total allowable catch is now up to 80 tonnes based on recent research into Geoduck stocks, life cycles and mortality rates. In 2020 the fishery arose from the ashes and is now flourishing once again in Golden Bay. The original quota holders ran into various problems and fishing soon stopped. Back then the quota for fishery was a mere 20 tonnes. The Japanese prefer raw as sashimi with wasabi and soy.Ĭommercially, Geoduck were first harvested in the 1980’s in Golden Bay. They sauté it, add it to soups and stews, and have it raw with a spicey sauce. In Korean cuisine they have many ways to prepare Geoduck. The texture is very similar to overcooked squid and has a real crunch to it. The first hit of flavour upon biting into it is surprisingly sweet. With its phallic shape it was always sort after as an aphrodisiac but it’s the unique flavour that sits somewhere between Oyster and Scallop that makes the flesh so desirable. The weight range tends to be between 350gms and 750gms.Īlthough its looks lack any appeal whatsoever, the Geoduck in a delicacy in China, Korea and Japan. In New Zealand the size is generally much smaller with the snorkel measuring between 25cm and 45cm in length. These are one of the largest know shellfish in the worlds, some examples of Canadian Geoduck can be more than a meter in length. It is very likely that they are found in other locations but more research needs to be done in this area. Shelley bay in Wellington Harbour, Kennedy Bay at the top of Coromandel Peninsula, Patterson Inlet on Stewart Island and Golden Bay are places Geoduck are known to inhabit. They live in colonies that exist in 4 to 15 meters depth in several know locations around New Zealand’s coastline. Throughout their lives the Geoduck never moves from its spot. Living up to 60 years in other parts of the world, the Zelandica only lives to a modest 25 years. During non-feeding periods the snorkel retracts down below the sand or mud and remains hidden from view. It will stretch its snorkel up to the seafloor where only the tip will emerge while it feeds. The Geoduck is buried up to a meter beneath benthic sediment. Waste water is then ejaculated out of the second tube. One is used to transport water that is sucked into the tip and down into the shellfish’s stomach where the nutrients it requires to grow are removed. Inside its elongated siphon are two tubes running from the gut cavity to the tip. Belonging to the phylum Mollusca, the Geoduck is a bivalve. Lurking beneath the substrate of several sheltered bays and inlets around New Zealand’s coastline, the Geoduck can be found. The common name of Deepwater King Clam or Geoduck (“gooey duck”) are still seldom familiar to the average kiwi water enthusiast. While this curious creature may appear to be the appendage of Sesame Street character Mr Snufleupagus, it is in fact Panopea Zelandica. ![]() Note that the contents of a macro definition can be edited only in the shortcuts.xml file.

Lets look at a quick introduction to what all of the different divisions are, the gun-related gear you’ll need to shoot reasonably competitively in them, and a few pointers for getting set up. If you’re a worrier or are more concerned about being prepared on your first day, this guide will get you on the right track. The rest is just details and you won’t need to stress about them at a local match. In USPSA, you’ll want a full-size or a larger compact pistol and at least three standard capacity magazines for it so that you can carry a minimum of 32-35 rounds on you between what’s loaded in your gun and what’s on your belt or even in your pockets. If you show up at your first match knowing what kind of gun you have, how many magazines you own, and whether your gun has been modified at all, you can be placed into a division. Whether your equipment is “competitive” within a division doesn’t matter until after you’ve had a chance to learn the game. ![]() Glocks of one flavor or another typically do very well in USPSA Keep in mind that I won’t be covering all of the dirty details here, and there’s a reason for that: it’s not that important if you’re a new USPSA shooter.ĭivisions are only important for roughly grouping competitors by the kind of gun they are shooting so that everyone in the same division will be using similar equipment.Įven among experienced competitors, there will be a broad range of gear and guns within the same division and at the end of the day…it’s about the shooter and not the equipment. With eight divisions to divide up the different kinds of guns you can shoot in USPSA it can seem a little confusing. Getting started in USPSA isn’t difficult, but in addition to learning the rules and the range etiquette, as well as the actual shooting part, you’ll need to figure out your gear. Recommended Guns for USPSA Beginnersįirst of all, most USPSA Newbies are going to start out in either Limited or Production, which makes it pretty easy to recommend guns…and best of all you very likely already have one of these on hand if you’ve been collecting handguns for any length of timeĪny of these choices will serve you well for learning the ropes, and they’re all fine carry or home defense guns as well. ![]() Sometimes the hotel may utilize pet fees or different weight line on pets.

Improving diet and exercise behaviors in older adults may help offset the immune aging associated with stress.Īdditionally, cytomegalovirus (CMV) may be a target for intervention. "What this means is people who experience more stress tend to have poorer diet and exercise habits, partly explaining why they have more accelerated immune aging." "In this study, after statistically controlling for poor diet and low exercise, the connection between stress and accelerated immune aging wasn't as strong," said Klopack. Past research suggests that this process is accelerated by lifestyle factors like poor diet and low exercise, which are both associated with social stress. As people age, the tissue in their thymus shrinks and is replaced by fatty tissue, resulting in reduced production of immune cells. T-cells - a critical component of immunity - mature in a gland called the thymus, which sits just in front of and above the heart. Some sources of stress may be impossible to control, but the researchers say there may be a workaround. The association between stressful life events and fewer ready to respond, or naive, T cells remained strong even after controlling for education, smoking, drinking, BMI and race or ethnicity. Brain motor and fear circuits orchestrate the immune response to acute stressĪs expected, people with higher stress scores had older-seeming immune profiles, with lower percentages of fresh disease fighters and higher percentages of worn-out white blood cells.Social stress factors have a direct impact on cellular mechanisms that drive deadly breast cancer.Dispositional mindfulness can reduce and protect athletes from stress.They answered a questionnaire designed to assess respondents' experiences with social stress, including stressful life events, chronic stress, everyday discrimination and lifetime discrimination.īlood samples from the participants were then analyzed through flow cytometry, a lab technique that counts and classifies blood cells as they pass one-by-one in a narrow stream in front of a laser. To calculate exposure to various forms of social stress, the researchers analyzed responses from a national sample of 5,744 adults over the age of 50. They queried and cross-referenced enormous data sets from University of Michigan's Health and Retirement Study, a national longitudinal study of the economic, health, marital, family status, and public and private support systems of older Americans. Immune aging is associated not only with cancer, but with cardiovascular disease, increased risk of pneumonia, reduced efficacy of vaccines and organ system aging.īut what accounts for drastic health differences in same-age adults? USC researchers decided to see if they could tease out a connection between lifetime exposure to stress - a known contributor to poor health - and declining vigor in the immune system. With advanced age, a person's immune profile weakens, and includes too many worn-out white blood cells circulating and too few fresh, "naive" white blood cells ready to take on new invaders. This study helps clarify mechanisms involved in accelerated immune aging."Įric Klopack, lead study author, postdoctoral scholar in the USC Leonard Davis School of GerontologyĪs people age, the immune system naturally begins a dramatic downgrade, a condition called immunosenescence. ![]() Age-related changes in the immune system play a critical role in declining health. The research, published June 13 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), could help explain disparities in age-related health, including the unequal toll of the pandemic, and identify possible points for intervention.Īs the world's population of older adults increases, understanding disparities in age-related health is essential. Stress - in the form of traumatic events, job strain, everyday stressors and discrimination - accelerates aging of the immune system, potentially increasing a person's risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and illness from infections such as COVID-19, according to a new USC study. ![]() Typically, the latter manifests later in a student’s academic career when the complexity of the problems they need to solve are increased. There is an important distinction between a student that is demoralized by a lack of inspiration, and a student who is demoralized by a lack of self-confidence. ![]() Build confidence and higher-level thinking The result? An inspired, ambitious problem-solver capable of learning independently – driven by their own curiosity and the enjoyment of their own discoveries. Becoming a Mathlete-in other words, preparing for and participating in the MATHCOUNTS competition-will regularly expose your child to challenges that address the gaps that exist with concept-driven curriculums. MATHCOUNTS competitions are centered around solving word problems that apply mathematical concepts to real life situations in a creative and challenging way. As educators this is our mission: teaching our students while empowering them to solve problems capable of transforming the world around them. The student will start to understand and appreciate the impact, importance, and beauty behind the concepts they’re learning. Armed with a deeper, more nuanced understanding of the world around them, other questions and applications will arise to solidify the concept. All of a sudden, the student is in a situation that compels curiosity. ![]() On the flip side, that same student could easily be engaged in discussion about modeling the path of a soccer ball in the air and applying that model to predict how soon and how far away it will land. As parents wanting the best for our children, we must recognize this is a doomsday scenario for creativity, ambition, and inspiration. Here’s an example of how Mathlete’s become inspired:Ī student learning about quadratic equations and graphs should understand how to solve for variable X, but may ask the question: “Where will I ever use quadratic equations and graphing the parabola?” Without a compelling reason or application, this important concept and function will quickly be viewed as a chore to get good grades and fulfill a requirement. As a result, students view mathematics as just something to learn for a test without grasping how important and impactful the skills can be in their own lives. Typical math classes focus on teaching concepts, but fail to inspire curiosity because they do not place equal importance on applying these concepts to real life situations that drive value. This lack of inspiration is symptomatic of a larger issue with concept-driven curriculums at school. “Where will I ever use this?” has become a common question amongst disengaged and uninspired students. What is the point of having a tool if you do not know how or when to use it? Many students learn about different formulas and other mathematical concepts, but have trouble applying them to real life situations. Inspire curiosity and improve real life problem-solving skills Oftentimes, this early development yields better academic performance, increased self-confidence, and advanced critical thinking skills throughout the child’s growth and into adulthood. Elementary and middle school students who participate in academic competitions build a strong foundation in mathematics and problem-solving. What are the positive effects of being a Mathlete?Īs with much in life, there is a compounding effect when preparing for and participating in academic competitions early in a child’s development. However, being a Mathlete goes beyond the competition and includes a focus on problem-solving and optimizing one’s approach through reflective practice. By definition, a student or individual of any age who competes in the MATHCOUNTS competition is a Mathlete. ![]() “Mathlete” is a registered trademark of the MATHCOUNTS Foundation. This article defines what it means to be a Mathlete, the benefits of becoming one, and how you and your child can get started. With the importance of strong math skills and the popularity of the MATHCOUNTS competition increasing, we’ve had more and more parents ask us what it means to be a Mathlete, and whether or not their child would be a good fit to participate in the flourishing MathCounts’ competition. In 1999, MATHCOUNTS introduced the world to the term “Mathlete”. |
