This with the commonality of stunts means that sometimes as much as 20+ repeats of element of a costume are needed, depending on necessity. That means, simply, more costume as they all must have their own. ![]() On another job we had three (3) days between a principle actor needing a visually iconic costume being cast and being ON CAMERA.Īdditionally it is becoming increasingly common for actors to expect higher use of doubles - both stunt and picture doubles m. I did a job last year where - aside from our two leads - we had zero cast until the week we started shooting which meant we could only do extremely linited advance work plus we had a minuscule team despite being for a huge streaming platform with major stars. This limits contact time for development and conception (actors must also be involved int he design process), fittings, etc. Because productions never consider the wider logistics of outlying departments like costume, props etc.Ĭast is increasingly last minute, w negotiations dragging out. That feeds back into the materials available (and a dependency on what IS available?, but also staffing levels - smaller workrooms, limited outsourcing etc etc. Additionally budgets - despite the ridiculous sums of money being sunk - are becoming more shrunk, focused and scrutinised. Prep time is constantly being shrunk to the absolute bare minimum which limits design time, fitting time, r&d, sourcing (materials, hardware habdash, etc), making time (drafting, construction, embellishment, etc). What is happening is a degradation of production schedules. The only thing more astounding is how little they are being properly utilised. The number of phenomenally talented and knowledgable Costumiers and maker working is astounding. Ok, but what is happening here is not a degradation of skill. I live and fucking die by yes and, I’ll name every shark and punch it in the goddamn face for “Yes And.This trend should upset you not just because it looks cheap, but because it suggests a strong anti-art and anti-labor movement in film and tv making. You can’t come into improv and reject all your partners ideas but it’s also unhelpful to not give back anything to build on. “Yes And” is the funny little phrase but it is also a very important concept and mindset about collaborative storytelling and valuing others ideas. Ending a scene is hard, but if you work towards something together instead of trying to navigate around something together it’s usually easier. Likely much more pleasant scenes to watch and be in but still not as good as it could have been if the players were building off of each others ideas more.Īlso, people want to see resolution!!! Scenes get less funny when you drag them out and you should try to find a good end point which usually involves some sort of compromise or solution. Saying no in unhelpful ways usually just leads to a boring scene where people argue meaninglessly, but saying no too much even in a helpful way also leads to scenes where people just argue. You CAN say no in improv but the fucking difference is hearing someone go “We planned this together, how could you betray me” and responding “no we didn’t, nuh uh that didn’t happen” vs “Together? I did all the planning, I executed it, your contributions were worthless!”īoth people said “no we didn’t plan this together” but one gave their partner more characterization and a place to take the scene and the other left their partner on the back foot and having to scramble. Not only is it hard to play in a scene where your partner is not collaborating on your ideas it is just uncomfortable to watch Little known fact but the funniest thing you can do in improv is say no they would never let you edit other people’s tweets! that’s stupid! it’s literally the worst feature any social media site could ever have! if it ever happened somewhere else, it would be by accident and fixed immediately! but on old school tumblr? yeah, you could edit someone’s childhood fear from vampires to danny devito, and we all just had to live like that for years. sure, on twitter you can impersonate anybody, but you have to make your own tweets. can you imagine if a website let you do that today? people would lose their fucking minds. just casually spread misinformation via reblog, the original post being lost to time. the potential for slander was next level, you really could just edit the body of posts that weren’t even your own and it’d look like the OP said it. ![]() ![]() It’s been said before but the fact this site used to let you edit other people’s posts is beyond unhinged.

It is also referred to as “post foundation. They are a set of large diameter cylindrical columns used to support the superstructure and transfer heavy superimposed loads to the firm strata below. A Pier Foundationįoundation piers are distinct structural elements that support the structure above. As just a consequence, all footings are foundations, but not all foundations are footings. A foundation can be shallow or deep, and a footing is a shallow foundation. The foundation is the structure that carries loads from the superstructure to the ground, whereas the footing is the foundation that is in contact with the ground. Foundation Walls and Footings: What Is the Difference Between a Footing and a Foundation? Unless otherwise specified, footings should be properly oriented so that the concrete masonry wall is near the footing’s center line.Īlthough the top surface of poured concrete footings should be somewhat level, it should not be troweled smooth since a slightly roughened surface improves the bond between the mortar and the concrete. Similarly, prior to laying footings, tree roots, construction debris, and ice should be removed. The earth should be removed and replaced with compacted soil, gravel, or concrete in this scenario. Unless the soil is unsuitable, weak, or soft, footings should be laid on undisturbed native soil. The frost line (applicable only in locations where winter temperatures fall below freezing the frost line is the greatest depth to which soil freezes locally) įootings are commonly cast-in-place concrete, set below the frost depth to prevent heave produced by freezing of water in the soil.The composition of the foundation wall.The depth of the trench in which the footing is placed is determined by: The width and thickness of the footing are determined by the material of the foundation wall. Other parts of foundation include Footingįootings distribute structural loads from the building to the supporting earth and are located beneath the basement, crawlspace, or stem wall. When foundation walls are not built appropriately, cracks may form, and the structure may settle.Ĭracks can form as a result of the foundation being backfilled before the concrete has reached the requisite strength or because the right number of steels was not properly positioned. Because foundation walls are likely the most significant section of the project, they should be carefully designed and built. How to Construct Foundation WallsĪ foundation wall offers structural support for the entire structure you are constructing. To keep non-water-resistant building materials out of the earth.In accordance with the construction code, install a moisture-resistant barrier to below-ground living area.To provide anchorage for the above-grade construction in order for it to withstand wind or seismic stresses.To offer sufficient resistance to shear and bending strains caused by lateral soil pressure.To provide sufficient strength in conjunction with the footing (where necessary) to avoid differential settlement.To transfer the load of the building to the footing or directly to the earth.The purposes of foundation wall design are as follows: It is important to note that problems with the foundation wall will ultimately lead to problems with the house, up to and including complete structural failure. ![]() A GPS tracker is an essential tool for kids who can easily get lost. So, parents should carefully use these GPS tracker app for kids to monitor their children without making them feel that they are losing their privacy and confidence. Such issues may create emotional scars in the young hearts. Growing children may start feeling that their parents don’t trust them enough to give them the freedom. Another point when you look from the side of the children is that they will feel the absence of trust. So the device which is meant to keep the child safe may itself drive a rift between the parents and children. While younger children may not mind, teens and growing youngsters may feel it as an intrusion to their privacy. As the tracker constantly monitors by the data collection app the child’s whereabouts and reports to the parents, children may feel a loss of privacy. connectmyworld also employee tracking app can help to improve safety by providing real-time location data and allowing employees to stay connect in case of an emergency Though it seems as if GPS trackers are a boon for parents and children, they too have their flip side. So, even if the child doesn’t pick up the phone or truthfully tell their exact location, parents will be able to correctly find out where they are and determine how long they will take to reach home in the current traffic. Parents can breathe easy knowing that they have a constant tab on their child’s location. ![]() It is also designed to alert parents in case of any emergency situation or any deviation in the set plan. This tracker will continually update the child’s location on the server that can be accessed by the parent. The market offers a number of GPS Trackers for Kids and also Connectmyworld provides solutions for employee tracking app as well. So, what’s the solution? They can go for GPS trackers. But, even then children may not pick up the phone sometimes, which may send the parents into a frenzy of agitation. So, most parents give mobile phones to their children, which allow them to constantly check upon them. And most of the time, if both parents are working, they will not be able to drive children to all these places wait for them, and pick them up again. Children have to go to schools, their sports classes, tuition centers, and other places. Parents will not be able to keep children locked up inside the homes all day long because they feel it’s such an unsafe world outside. When you watch the news on television or read a newspaper, you see so many incidents of child abuse, kidnap and so much more that parents are constantly worried about their child’s safety. (Bill O'Leary/The Washington Post)Īs Teie and his family packed for a month’s vacation in Prague, he explained to his kids that he’d need to focus on his cat-music composing as if it were a 9-to-5 job. The National Symphony Orchestra’s David Teie watches his intended audience at the cat cafe Crumbs & Whiskers as he plays his experimental compositions for them. “I’m worried I might be a one-hit wonder,” Teie said. The trip to the cat cafe to market-test a new tune was less than encouraging. The only problem: It had been seven years since Teie wrote his cat-music hits, and he was afraid he might have lost his touch. Teie realized he needed to write an EP’s worth of cat songs, about 40 minutes, so he could sell it online. Music for cats.Īfter dashing off his first two cat tunes, Teie largely forgot about the project until, in February, the study was finally published and generated a flurry of attention. An animal we prize for its beauty but never truly manage to own. Music for a common pet that we struggle to connect with. Before Teie could serenade bored zoo elephants or calm stressed-out whales, he would need to write animal music that people might actually buy. The cellist dreamed of filling out his universal theory of music by writing music for all kinds of animals, but he couldn’t keep doing it for free. “I realized I was really on to something when I started getting invited to major scientific conferences,” Teie recalls. Amazingly, it worked: The monkeys relaxed to the more tranquil tunes Teie wrote for them, and they jumped around when researchers played Teie’s monkey “dance music,” according to a study published in Biology Letters in 2010. To test that theory, Teie teamed with University of Wisconsin psychology professor Charles Snowdon and tried out some of Teie’s monkey music on a colony of cotton-top tamarins. ![]() For instance, with their high-pitched voices and fast pulse, monkeys are going to respond best to music that is quite a bit higher and faster than music for humans. That’s also true for other animals, but the particulars can change, Teie posited. It’s no coincidence, says Teie, that our mother’s resting pulse is about the same pace as music we find relaxing, and that our favorite instruments, like the violin, tend to hover around the range of her voice. An accomplished cellist, Teie began writing music for animals back in 2003 to demonstrate his universal theory of music: The idea that music taps directly into our emotional core by remixing the sounds that marinated our developing brains in the womb. Teie’s foray into cat music composition didn’t surprise his colleagues at the National Symphony Orchestra. “It appears cats are responding to music if it’s properly designed and delivered in the cat idiom.” “As far as I know, it’s the first study showing that cats respond to music at all,” says Nick Dodman, director of the Animal Behavior Program at Tufts University’s Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. That’s pretty impressive, considering that just 38 percent responded positively to classical masterpieces such as J.S. “Rusty’s Ballad” and “Cozmo’s Air” prompted positive responses from 77 percent of cats in a study published in February in Applied Animal Behaviour Science. ![]() “If that had been my first test, I would have gone back to human music,” he said.īack in 2008, Teie wrote two songs that would have been major hits on the cat-music Billboard charts, if there were such a thing. Alas, he turned away and began to give himself a bath.Ī half-hour later, Teie left Crumbs & Whiskers deflated. The feather and ribbon wavers paused, waiting to see if Mitty would approach the speaker. ![]() A tuxedo cat named Mitty turned toward the music. Teie tapped his iPhone, triggering a cascade of high harp arpeggios and a melody he’d written reminiscent of birdsong. Besides, he was there to play music for cats, not make friends with them. He was too focused on setting up a speaker and a video camera. Teie, who had taken prophylactic benadryl before venturing into Crumbs & Whiskers, didn’t notice. How else to explain why, one August afternoon, a cat named Midnight sauntered past nearly a dozen people waving feathers and ribbons at a Georgetown cat cafe and parked himself at the feet of David Teie. Nothing attracts a cat like a person with a cat allergy. Does it work? We put it to the test with famous Internet cats. Composer David Teie arranged a song to make cats relaxed. What Prevents the Boat from Being Blown Sideways? In this way, lift is generated: the wind is bent into a new direction by the sails. When it meets again, the sails have forced it to change direction to directly astern of the boat. The wind that traveled on the leeward side of the sails has moved farther than that to windward. ![]() The wind that is split joins again behind the sails. At this point, the sails act similar to an airplane wing. As it blows against the sails, it splits to either side of them (assuming they are properly trimmed!). Picture the wind blowing toward the boat’s bow at a 45-degree angle. The way a sail generates lift is not complicated. How is Lift Generated by a Sail When Sailing Upwind? When you are pointed close to the wind, and your sails are trimmed properly, you generate lift, and you can sail upwind. Many experienced sailors experience accidental tacks while racing in light air, as they are pointing as close to the wind as they can, and it suddenly shifts on them. Sailing upwind can be tricky in lighter air as the wind direction can be shifty. After you have done it a couple of times, you will develop a feel for how the boat responds to the new point of sail. If you are just starting on your sailing experience, you will want to sneak up on this point of sail, particularly if you are teaching yourself. Your boat will slow and stop, or even tack inadvertently. If you point too high (too far into the wind), the sails will start to flutter and backwind. Mechanically, you sail upwind by hauling in your sails and pointing the boat as close to the wind as you can while still maintaining your forward momentum. They bend it around their trajectory and create a new “apparent wind,” which feels as if it is directly blowing over the boat’s bow. Like America’s Cup foiling catamarans, more recent high-performance boats can get as close as 20 degrees, or even less. Many can point as high as 30 degrees off of the wind. ![]() Most sailboats that are racing designs can get much closer than that. Just about every modern sloop-rigged sailboat can get about 45 degrees off of the wind. How close you can point to the direction of the wind varies by the kind of sailboat that you have. This is called “close-hauled,” as all of your sails are hauled in as close to the rig as possible. Most sailors consider upwind sailing to be when you are sailing as close to the wind as possible. Technically, any point higher than a beam reach (where the wind is blowing directly perpendicular to the boat) might be considered upwind sailing. Sailing upwind happens when you start pointing the sailboat closer to the direction the wind is coming from.
