  • The Uses of Animation 1
    The Uses of Animation 1 1 The Uses of Animation ANIMATION Animation is the process of making the illusion of motion and change by means of the rapid display of a sequence of static images that minimally differ from each other. The illusion—as in motion pictures in general—is thought to rely on the phi phenomenon. Animators are artists who specialize in the creation of animation. Animation can be recorded with either analogue media, a flip book, motion picture film, video tape,digital media, including formats with animated GIF, Flash animation and digital video. To display animation, a digital camera, computer, or projector are used along with new technologies that are produced. Animation creation methods include the traditional animation creation method and those involving stop motion animation of two and three-dimensional objects, paper cutouts, puppets and clay figures. Images are displayed in a rapid succession, usually 24, 25, 30, or 60 frames per second. THE MOST COMMON USES OF ANIMATION Cartoons The most common use of animation, and perhaps the origin of it, is cartoons. Cartoons appear all the time on television and the cinema and can be used for entertainment, advertising, 2 Aspects of Animation: Steps to Learn Animated Cartoons presentations and many more applications that are only limited by the imagination of the designer. The most important factor about making cartoons on a computer is reusability and flexibility. The system that will actually do the animation needs to be such that all the actions that are going to be performed can be repeated easily, without much fuss from the side of the animator.

    A Publication for Members and Friends of MHAOhio Spring 2020 Kenton Beachy, Executive Director Maureen Traverse, Editor Racism Is a Mental HealthAdvocate Issue by Maureen Traverse Racism is a mental health issue. Repeated experiences of racism, whether direct or vicarious, may lead to racial trauma or race-based traumatic stress, and research shows that trauma impacts both mental and physical wellbeing. Symptoms of race-based trauma can look like those of post-traumatic stress disorder – recurring thoughts of the experience, anger, depression, headaches, chest pains, insomnia – but race-based trauma is not considered a mental health disorder. It is a mental injury caused by living within a racist system or experiencing racist events. Racism is pervasive in the United States, and it takes many forms, from overt expressions of racism like slurs and racial violence to subtler but equally harmful microaggressions like assumptions about education or interests based on race, failing to use a person’s preferred who are white…BIPOC are less likely to have access to name, or claiming that someone talks too much about mental health services, less likely to seek out services, race. At the systemic level, racism takes the form of less likely to receive needed care, more likely to receive voter suppression, income and housing disparities, mass poor quality of care, and more likely to end services incarceration, and aggressive policing of BIPOC (Black, prematurely.” Multiple factors contribute to these Indigenous, people of color) communities. disparities, but distrust of a mental health system that has long misdiagnosed and even abused BIPOC is a part of Vicarious trauma still impacts mental health, and trauma the problem.

  • Old and Middle Welsh David Willis ([email protected]) Department of Linguistics, University of Cambridge
    Old and Middle Welsh David Willis ([email protected]) Department of Linguistics, University of Cambridge 1 INTRODUCTION The Welsh language emerged from the increasing dialect differentiation of the ancestral Brythonic language (also known as British or Brittonic) in the wake of the withdrawal of the Roman administration from Britain and the subsequent migration of Germanic speakers to Britain from the fifth century. Conventionally, Welsh is treated as a separate language from the mid sixth century. By this time, Brythonic speakers, who once occupied the whole of Britain apart from the north of Scotland, had been driven out of most of what is now England. Some Brythonic-speakers had migrated to Brittany from the late fifth century. Others had been pushed westwards and northwards into Wales, western and southwestern England, Cumbria and other parts of northern England and southern Scotland. With the defeat of the Romano-British forces at Dyrham in 577, the Britons in Wales were cut off by land from those in the west and southwest of England. Linguistically more important, final unstressed syllables were lost (apocope) in all varieties of Brythonic at about this time, a change intimately connected to the loss of morphological case. These changes are traditionally seen as having had such a drastic effect on the structure of the language as to mark a watershed in the development of Brythonic. From this period on, linguists refer to the Brythonic varieties spoken in Wales as Welsh; those in the west and southwest of England as Cornish; and those in Brittany as Breton. A fourth Brythonic language, Cumbric, emerged in the north of England, but died out, without leaving written records, in perhaps the eleventh century.
