Its color and odor made it easy to spot, and since chlorine is water-soluble even soldiers without gas masks could minimize its effect by placing water-soaked - even urine-soaked - rags over their mouths and noses. Ironically, the Germans weren’t prepared for how effective it would be and were unable to exploit their advantage, gaining little ground.Ĭhlorine’s usefulness was short-lived. It is estimated over 1,100 were killed in its first use at Ypres. Chlorine was deadly against unprotected soldiers. At lower concentrations, if it does not reach the lungs, per se, it can cause coughing, vomiting, and eye irritation. It can react with water in the lungs to form hydrochloric acid, which is destructive of tissue and can quickly lead to death, or, at least, permanent lung tissue damage and disability. Chlorine is a diatomic gas, about two and a half times denser than air, pale green in color and with an odor which was described as a ‘mix of pineapple and pepper’. The German gas warfare program was headed by Fritz Haber (1868 – 1934) whose first try for a weapon was chlorine, which he debuted at Ypres in April 1915. Thus, tear gas was never very effective as a weapon against groups of enemy soldiers. Symptoms usually resolve by 30 minutes after contact. If inhaled they also make breathing difficult. Large doses can cause temporary blindness. As lachrymatory agents, they irritate the eyes and cause uncontrolled tearing. The agent used was either xylyl bromide, which is described as smelling ‘pleasant and aromatic’, or ethyl bromoacetate, described as ‘fruity and pungent.’ Both are colorless liquids and have to be atomized to be dispersed as weapons. Several chemicals were weaponized in WWI and France actually was the first to use gas - they deployed tear gas in August 1914. Masked soldiers charge through a cloud of gas. Production of some of these dangerous chemicals continues to this day as they have peaceful uses – for example, phosgene (carbonyl dichloride) is an industrial reagent, a precursor of pharmaceuticals and other important organic compounds. It has occasionally been used since then but never in WWI quantities. Thus, chemical warfare with gases was subsequently absolutely prohibited by the Geneva Protocol of 1925. Although chemical warfare caused less than 1% of the total deaths in this war, the ‘psy-war’ or fear factor was formidable. One of the enduring hallmarks of WWI was the large-scale use of chemical weapons, commonly called, simply, ‘gas’. While the efficiency of maiming and killing steadily advanced from the 17th to the 20th centuries it accelerated by an order of magnitude in WWI with the use of inhaled poison gasses. Ultimately, in WWII it was demonstrated that a single atomic weapon could kill more than one hundred thousand of the enemy with a single use of a single weapon. Gun powder in the 16th and 17th centuries meant that - finally, sadly - one could eliminate many of his enemies with one agent of offensive effort, an artillery round. Army Veteran, and WW-I Feature WriterĮvery war brings to the fore a new way of maiming and killing soldiers. While still holding firm to the anxious imaginings of mysterious unknowable authoritarian systems that control and destroy us (likely the element that allowed our prof to include the film in his weekly online neo-noir series I’m currently taking for fun, as a panacea against the insane reality that I’ve been ex-communicated from the Montreal rep cinemas for my refusal to submit to the double jab), the last (and best of a very good lot) in Frankenheimer’s unofficial paranoia trilogy moves away from the political conspiracies of his The Manchurian Candidate and Seven Days in May towards something far more intimately existential (as well as wildly scifi speculative), an angst-ridden musing on the fragile construct of the male identity (and who better to meta-represent than Rock Hudson, a hunk of cinematic masculinity who – in real life – was forced to hide his homosexuality from the world – I mean, talk about angst!). Watching these two films, vastly different aesthetically in so many ways (one in subdued black and white, the other draped in the boldest of gaudy color schemes, one centering about a haunting and thoughtful performance, the other driven by a brutally steel construct of pure primal vengeance), yet near equals as far as being audaciously experimental (directed by the two Johns, one in Frankenheimer an early-television and film vet, the other in Boorman a brash newbie-on-the-block, with both clearly inspired by all those super-cool, early-hipster French New Wave guys everyone was fawning over and that were enviously getting all the chicks – and who, ironically, had gotten their own inspirations from the grand ol’ seductive magic of the movies of earlier Hollywood) reminded me yet again while the box office success of Bonnie and Clyde in 1967 and Easy Rider in 1969 tend to get all the props for ushering in that great cinematic period of 70’s New Hollywood and all those young auteur directors, that daring and innovative cinematic works by filmmakers with modern visions were clearly bubbling up all about the film scene in the 60’s… and, man, Seconds and Point Blank are right there on the front lines of that movement.

If doing laundry wasn’t bad enough, just the thought of entering the dungeon to switch out a load makes you put it off one more day. “One trick to help beautify a laundry room is to use an extra-deep kitchen sink instead of a plastic utility tub.If your home is like many others, you have an unfinished, cave-like basement where you stick the washer and dryer into a deep, dark corner. “There can be a lot going on in a laundry room, making it feel like a jumble, so keeping everything white helps to unify the space,” says Ingrid. “When you use big-box-store cabinetry, it’s nice to balance it with higher-end natural stone counters,” says Ingrid.Ĭlosed storage hides bulky items and unsightly cleaning supplies, while open shelving displays the neat necessities. This allowed her to splurge on marble countertops. Working within a strict budget, Ingrid had to be creative with her choices: she opted for ready-made cabinets (painted to match the custom floating shelves) coated the backsplash with a durable, washable paint and selected a basic washer and dryer. The designer also had to take into account the fact that the small space was going to be used as storage and a cleanup area for kids after playtime. “This style of door was specifically chosen because it lets light in,” explains Ingrid. The homeowner tasked Ingrid Oomen with developing a seamless design for a 70-square-foot laundry room because it’s visible through French doors off a high-traffic corridor. Despite its tiny size, this basement laundry room designed by Toronto-based Ingrid Oomen is big on both function and style. So it’s important to think about it before testing your speed. Because of this, smaller text is harder for reading than bigger text. This text size is also important to think about when testing your speed. So, to sum up, you should read something at your level when testing your speed. Then try to keep it at that same level or even higher to challenge yourself on further tests. This reading level is significant as adults will better likely score higher if they read a children’s level book rather than a news article. In addition, when calculating your reading speed in wpm, there are some essential things to consider for accuracy. There is our handy Time Unit Converter to help you with that.Īfter that, take the number of whole minutes you read, multiply it by 60, and add the extra number of seconds.

Clare Stouffer Ma3 min read Scammers are using phishing emails to profit from the coronavirus outbreak. So you are limited to using the same art, and just moving position and rotation. Currently in CS4, you cannot skew, scale, or replace any symbols that are connected with bones. It could have been an amazing feature to the program IF it worked as well as what Toon Boom Animate did with their kinematics and character rigging. I love both programs, but to be honest was very disappointed with CS4’s inverse kinematics. So imagine my camera panning or zooming paste different layers of video like that. And I could stack layers of video behind or in front of each other by changing the Z-depth. And you can see the video is obviously being viewed in perspective. The cartoon dude is vector art in front of the video. So you can really quickly move frame 150, in place of frame 10, if need be.Īnd best of all… You can animate the video in Perspective just like everything else in Animate. Plus, the niftyness of the Drawing Substitutions panel got talked about a lot in my tutorial on that (refresher here), but the video gets treated like a symbol with frames to swap among. So you can really time the rest of your project with what you are seeing in the video. So you aren’t stuck just seeing frame 1 of the video or something lame like that. Once the video is in, you can scrub through the main timeline of your Animate project and see the progress of the video as well. Or just give the video a vectorized look. But notice you can choose to vectorize the video, which would be useful if you wanted to draw on some of the frames, or edit them. The defaults, seen above, are probably your best option for just bringing in the video like you’d expect. So they are treating the imported video like an image sequence. You might notice that says “Import Drawings” at the top, thats because the video first gets converted to individual frames, then this prompt shows up. Here’s the options you get when you do this… Now what about bringing a video file into Animate? I just did that, because prior to writing this, that wasn’t something I had tried yet. Especially since it creates transparent image sequences, you don’t have to worry about keying out some color once its in After Effects. YES! Animate is perfect for exporting either images or a movie to later be used in After Effects. swf, the beauty of an image sequence might be lost on ya.Īnyway, long story short. Again, if you haven’t worked professionally in the video/animation industry and are just used to publishing. So don’t think that you are limited to just exporting image sequences. So if you’re creating an animation for a demo reel, or festival, or just to import into After Effects, you probably want an image sequence. But a swf is horrible for doing anything other than popping it up on a website. Which might sound strange to my Flash crowd, because we’re just happy to publish a. Name those files in order… But seriously, an image sequence is ideal for animation. I majored in Computer Art at SVA (in da ’90’s!), and my focus was on 3D, so ever since then I get excited watching a computer render one file named sequentially after another…. When I first published from Toon Boom Animate one of the things that surprised me (pleasantly though) was that it rendered out a transparent image sequence. After Effects and Animate do work VERY well together. Now the real reason I’m writing is because of the last part of leBeat’s question. So it makes sense to support importing their files in, because most everyone’s past art has been made in Adobe programs. And although I can’t speak for the developers at Toon Boom, I’m sure they realize they are an emerging player in the world of animation / graphics software and Adobe is king of that world right now. Even before Adobe bought Macromedia, those two companies did a decent job of importing from one another ( AI to Flash, or Flash to AI). Importing in other formats has fortunately become pretty standard in the design world. I wouldn’t praising this program at all if I didn’t. (my HD is full of eps-characters … ) have you experienced any problems with adobe and animate? has anyone combined after effects and animate?Īnimate works great for importing in images either pixel or vector based (including. I’m used to do all of my characters and illustrations in illustrator and photoshop, and i’d like to import them into animate. I’m completely new to animate and i wonder how i works together with illustrator, photoshop and after effects.

Would that create a better customer experience? Imagine if your app alerted them to the status change in their repair. Of course, when your customer shows up three hours later only to discover your team is waiting on a hard-to-find part coming from two towns away, they believe they were lied to. They genuinely believed this (given the information they had at that time). When your advisor told the customer their vehicle would be ready “in a few hours,” they weren’t lying. “of the status” – The easiest way to provide a great customer experience every time is to deliver on your promises. Of course, if you had a way to keep customers informed about their repairs via an app, who’d be calling your service team anyway? (Prior to the invention of the Tracker, I’m pretty sure Domino’s Pizza locations were bombarded with those “Where’s my order?” phone calls.) “keeps you informed” – If you employ a service BDC, then you’ve probably come to the realization that the average service advisor won’t answer the phone or call back your customers. Imagine if your service customers could look at your service app and feel confident their vehicle was in the right hands. The Domino’s Pizza Tracker provides (at least from the customer’s viewpoint) to-the-minute accuracy about each step in the pizza-making-and-delivering process. “it accurately” – There’s no guessing, wondering or hoping someone is working on your order. So, back to my original question: Will someone please copy the Domino’s Pizza Tracker for dealers to use with their service customers? (And, if someone already has, will you post a link in the comments, so dealers will know where they can buy this?) They may never provide your level of quality, but they’ve got you beat where it matters more: the customer experience. You might provide the best quality repairs of the brands you service in your area, but if every dealing a consumer has with you feels like a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma, then you’re going to lose business to the quick lubes, tire chains and independent shops. Their pizza? Hmm, it’s not the worst pizza I’ve ever had.įor the dealers and service managers reading this, it’s important to understand that quality is relative. I love Domino’s Pizza! I love it because their service is convenient and extremely customer-friendly. Now, for all my Pizza Prima Donna friends, please save your outrage over pizza quality and hear me out. I’ll say it: Domino’s Pizza might be the best pizza-making operation in America. “of the status” – The easiest way to provide a great customer experience every time is to deliver on your promises.“keeps you informed” – If you employ a service BDC, then you’ve probably come to the realization that the average service advisor won’t answer the phone or call back your customers.“it accurately” – There’s no guessing, wondering or hoping someone is working on your order.Let me dissect that last sentence in terms of the customer experience with the average dealer’s service department: In a nutshell, it accurately keeps you informed of the status of your delivery order. The Domino’s Pizza Tracker is not a gimmick. If you’ve never ordered Domino’s Pizza online, then you’re probably not familiar with the best thing to happen to delivery pizza since the invention of the automobile.
