  • X-Men: Apocalypse' Succeeds Thanks to Its Rich Characters
    http://www.ocolly.com/entertainment_desk/x-men-apocalypse-succeeds-thanks-to-its-rich- characters/article_ffbc145a-251d-11e6-9b66-f38ca28933de.html 'X-Men: Apocalypse' succeeds thanks to its rich characters Brandon Schmitz, Entertainment Reporter, @SchmitzReviews May 28, 2016 20th Century FOX It's amazing to think that Fox's "X-Men" saga has endured for more than a decade and a half with only a couple of stumbles. From the genre- revitalizing first film to the exceptionally intimate "Days of Future Past," the series has definitely made its mark on the blockbuster landscape. With "Apocalypse," director Bryan Singer returns for his fourth time at the helm. Similarly to his previous outing, this movie is loosely based on one of the superhero team's most popular comic book storylines. Ten years have passed since Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and friends averted the rise of the Sentinels. However, altering the course of the "X- Men" continuity has merely replaced one disaster with another. The world's first mutant, Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac), was worshipped as a god around the dawn of civilization. Thanks to abilities he has taken from other mutants, he is virtually immortal. Following thousands of years of slumber, Apocalypse wakes to find a world ruled by people who he feels are weak. Namely, humans. Dissatisfied with earth's warring nations, the near-all-powerful mutant sets out to cleanse the world with his four "horsemen." In the wake of this new threat, Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) must lead a young X-Men team comprised of familiar faces such as Cyclops (Tye Sheridan) and Jean Grey (Sophie Turner).

  • Shields, Grounds and Microphone Cables
    Shields, grounds and microphone cables Shields, grounds and microphone cables By Bill Whitlock There is an old joke that the definition of a cable is “a source of potential trouble connecting two other sources of potential trouble” – that is worth chewing on. All signals accumulate noise as they flow through equipment and the connecting wires, and once noise has contaminated a signal it is essentially impossible to remove it without altering or degrading the original signal. For this reason no system can be quieter than its noisiest link. Noise and interference must be prevented from entering any part of the signal path, and the most vulnerable areas are usually the signal interfaces. The level of noise that is tolerable in an analogue pathway depends on many things but for a professional microphone – a primary signal Fig 1—The impedance of 3m (10ft) of 2.5 2mm (12#) copper wire source – most users would like it to be low enough to allow a dynamic range of >120dB. significant 0.015 Ω. In AC terms inductance will give This means that noise and interference the same wire an impedance of 30Ω at 1MHz. At components must be 120dB below the 25MHz it will become a radio antenna and look almost maximum undistorted signal capability of the like an open circuit. (Figure1) system.

  • Avengers and Its Applicability in the Swedish EFL-Classroom
    Master’s Thesis Avenging the Anthropocene Green philosophy of heroes and villains in the motion picture tetralogy The Avengers and its applicability in the Swedish EFL-classroom Author: Jens Vang Supervisor: Anne Holm Examiner: Anna Thyberg Date: Spring 2019 Subject: English Level: Advanced Course code: 4ENÄ2E 2 Abstract This essay investigates the ecological values present in antagonists and protagonists in the narrative revolving the Avengers of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The analysis concludes that biocentric ideals primarily are embodied by the main antagonist of the film series, whereas the protagonists mainly represent anthropocentric perspectives. Since there is a continuum between these two ideals some variations were found within the characters themselves, but philosophical conflicts related to the environment were also found within the group of the Avengers. Excerpts from the films of the study can thus be used to discuss and highlight complex ecological issues within the EFL-classroom. Keywords Ecocriticism, anthropocentrism, biocentrism, ecology, environmentalism, film, EFL, upper secondary school, Avengers, Marvel Cinematic Universe Thanks Throughout my studies at the Linneaus University of Vaxjo I have become acquainted with an incalculable number of teachers and peers whom I sincerely wish to thank gratefully. However, there are three individuals especially vital for me finally concluding my studies: My dear mother; my highly supportive girlfriend, Jenniefer; and my beloved daughter, Evie. i Vang ii Contents 1 Introduction

  • Disentangling Dense Multi-Cable Knots
    Disentangling Dense Multi-Cable Knots Vainavi Viswanath∗1, Jennifer Grannen∗1, Priya Sundaresan∗1, Brijen Thananjeyan1, Ashwin Balakrishna1, Ellen Novoseller1, Jeffrey Ichnowski1, Michael Laskey2, Joseph E. Gonzalez1, Ken Goldberg1 Abstract— Disentangling two or more cables requires many steps to remove crossings between and within cables. We formal- ize the problem of disentangling multiple cables and present an algorithm, Iterative Reduction Of Non-planar Multiple cAble kNots (IRON-MAN), that outputs robot actions to remove crossings from multi-cable knotted structures. We instantiate this algorithm with a learned perception system, inspired by prior work in single-cable untying that given an image input, can disentangle two-cable twists, three-cable braids, and knots of two or three cables, such as overhand, square, carrick bend, sheet bend, crown, and fisherman’s knots. IRON-MAN keeps track of task-relevant keypoints corresponding to target cable endpoints and crossings and iteratively disentangles the cables by identifying and undoing crossings that are critical to knot structure. Using a da Vinci surgical robot, we experimentally evaluate the effectiveness of IRON-MAN on untangling multi- cable knots of types that appear in the training data, as well as generalizing to novel classes of multi-cable knots. Results suggest that IRON-MAN is effective in disentangling knots involving up to three cables with 80.5% success and generalizing to knot types that are not present during training, with cables of both distinct or identical colors. Fig. 1: Overview of IRON-MAN: IRON-MAN (Iterative Reduction Of Non-planar Multiple cAble kNots) is an algorithm for disentanglement of I.
