The film saw Frodo, Sam, and Gollum (Andy Serkis) finally arrive at Mordor, but the power of the Ring begins to consume them on the inside. The Return of the King, the final saga in Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, became Jackson’s magnum opus. The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) This battle is regarded as one of the greatest fight sequences in cinematic history and the film itself is a terrific middle chapter in the trilogy that also stands on its own as a fine piece of blockbuster fantasy filmmaking. The foursome then leads an army against orcs in the Battle of Helm’s Deep. Meanwhile, Aragorn, Legolas (Orlando Bloom), and Gimli the Dwarf (John Rhys-Davies) head toward Rohan to free Théoden from Saruman’s control. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002)Īfter the events of The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo continues with his journey to Mordor. ![]() The Fellowship sets off on a quest to dismantle the Ring. To protect civilization from the Ring’s power, a council determines the ring must be destroyed in the fires of Mount Doom.įrodo and eight volunteers form The Fellowship, which includes Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen), Samwise Gamgee (Sean Astin), and Aragorn (Viggo Mortenson). Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) comes into possession of the One Ring, which has been sought after by the Dark Lord Sauron for centuries. The Fellowship of the Ring is the first movie in Jackson’s epic trilogy.

In The Return of the King, Frodo (voiced by Orson Bean) reaches Mordor with Samwise Gamgee (voiced by Roddy McDowall) as they attempt to destroy the Ring. The special is a sequel to 1977’s The Hobbit, not 1978’s The Lord of the Rings. Rankin and Bass returned to the Tolkien universe with the animated musical television special, The Return of the King. The animated film was a major influence on Jackson’s eventual trilogy and is worth a look for the curious and not-too-critical fanbase. The film explains the forging of the Rings of Power and how Sauron created the One Ring to destroy Middle-earth.ĭirected by Ralph Bakshi, the film follows Frodo Baggins (voiced by Christopher Guard) and the Fellowship’s quest to destroy the Ring at Mordor. The Lord of the Rings was a 1980 animated adaptation that covered the entirety of the events in The Fellowship of the Ring and some of the storylines from The Two Towers. and Jules Bass of the famous Rankin/Bass production company, The Hobbit featured the voices of Orson Bean as Bilbo Baggins, Richard Boone as Smaug, Hans Conried as Thorin Oakenshield, and John Huston as Gandalf / Narrator. The Hobbit was also an animated musical television special, not a movie.ĭirected by Arthur Rankin Jr. Unlike Jackson’s trilogy, The Hobbit portrayed the story of Bilbo Baggins and his quest to reclaim the treasure at Lonely Mountain in 78 minutes.

12/22/2023 0 Comments Agenda 21 for dummiesIn November 2010, Solyndra announced it was mothballing Fab 1 and postponing earlier plans to expand Fab 2, citing weak sales and the weak economy. Only a few months earlier Solyndra had hosted a much publicized press conference with President Barack Obama and Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, both of whom lauded the company as an exemplar of the “green economy” that would provide many thousands of new “green jobs.” Solyndra received a $535 million loan from the Department of Energy to build a new state-of-the-art, robotics-run factory, which it calls Fab 2. One of them is Solyndra, the solar panel maker from Fremont, which announced layoffs of 170 workers in December. The jobs that are leaving or shutting down are not only the manufacturing and resource jobs in companies that greenies love to denigrate as “old, has-been” industries they include many of the highly touted “green” companies that are now seeking greener pastures elsewhere. Companies ?Departing or Shifting Work Out: 193 - ?Nearly Four Times Last Year’s Level.” His Decemblog carries this headline: “New Record for Calif. Joseph Vranich of Irvine, California, known as “The Business Relocation Coach,” keeps a running tab on companies leaving the state. Yet, despite facing $25 billion in debt, a huge current budget deficit, and default on its bonds (not to mention sky-high unemployment, over 12 percent), the state’s politicians and bureaucrats continue to chase the productive tax base - and jobs - out of California. The state’s tax and regulatory policies have driven the cost of energy, as well as every other business expense, sky high. Thousands of businesses have already fled the “protection racket” of government in what was once known as the Golden State thousands more are following, taking with them hundreds of thousands of jobs. When he testified before CARB in November 2009, Enger told the board that one of their CARB enforcement officers had told him on two occasions, “If you guys don’t get on with this settlement, it doesn’t matter to us if you go out of business, change your name, move to another state, or die, we will find you and attach your assets.” ![]() It’s like a protection racket - government out of control,” said Enger. “My lawyers said it would cost more than $600,000 to fight it, so we might as well pay it. The association’s lawyers worked the fine down to $600,000, but Enger says even that penalty was unconstitutional, amounting to an ex post facto prosecution for engines modified and sold before the new CARB regulations went into effect. Kit Enger and his fellow dune buggy manufacturers also cooperated with CARB, but found it was like dealing with a mob “protection racket.” Enger, president of the Compliant Car Builders Association in Oceanside, California, said association members attended the agency’s “implementation outreach workshop” for OHRV (off-highway recreational vehicles) and worked “diligently with CARB certification staff to devise a program whereby all industry members could efficiently and effectively certify their vehicles and engines.” Despite the increased costs and inconvenience of complying with CARB’s new regulations, association members thought things were going pretty well - until January 2008 when CARB hit them with $3.6 million in penalties for alleged violations. ![]() “My operations manager happened to see it mentioned in a trade magazine about a year and a half after the deadline passed.” Because Nor-Cal reported itself to CARB and “cooperated,” the agency reduced the $200/day fine from $86,600 to $32,500. “We had no knowledge of the law,” Nor-Cal’s Chief Financial Officer Todd Achando told CalWatchDog, a news blog that monitors California government. ![]() The company was not charged with, or even accused of, illegal emissions like many other businesses, it had merely failed to notice a new regulation posted by CARB requiring all semi-trailers, shipping containers, vans, and rail cars with diesel-powered refrigerators to file a report with the agency. In March 2010, Nor-Cal Produce, a family-owned produce business in West Sacramento, was fined $32,500 by the California Air Resources Board (ARB, or CARB). 12/22/2023 0 Comments Splice 2 sequel![]() ![]() It just seemed like the right way to end the story. I haven’t included any specific details, however.): “In all honesty, I knew that with that ending, it would seem like we were setting up a sequel, but that was never my intention. On SPLICE 2 (Warning: While I’ve kept MAJOR spoilers out of it, you can still consider some of the following a minor spoiler regarding SPLICE. ![]() While the full interview will hit soon, I wanted to share some of what Natali told me regarding his various upcoming projects. If you want to see a good comedy about a killer and his high school reunion, watch Grosse Point Blank instead.Earlier today, I have the opportunity to sit down and chat with director Vincenzo Natali, who is doing the press rounds for his thriller SPLICE (opening June 4). The movie hints at doing something interesting with the Johnson character-kind of giving him a wacky personality that’s against type, like the actor's characters in Be Cool and Pain & Gain-but doesn’t commit to the bit, and lets his personality diverge wildly from scene to scene. Sticking a good-looking movie star in a fat suit hasn’t been funny for at least 20 years, even if they’re not subjected to grotesque sexual harassment. Not only do the three movies not fit well together, but none is very good on its own, either. But, Johnson may in fact be a double agent, and the third act is a Miami Vice-like drug thriller that looks and feels nothing like anything that came before. Johnson, of course, turns out to be a CIA agent, who pulls Hart into the action and mayhem. He reconnects with the formerly fat high school nerd who was viciously bullied back in the day but is now, well, The Rock. There’s the comedy of high school reunion anxiety, in which Hart is the ex-big man on campus who thinks his whole life is a failure even though he has a beautiful wife, house and a great job. Pairing the two of them should work, but it just plain doesn’t-partially because the chemistry just isn’t there, and also because the structure of the film is such a mess.Ĭentral Intelligence was directed by bad comedy perennial Rawson Marshall Thurber ( Dodgeball, We’re the Millers) and is effectively three different, unrelated movies, packed into one. ![]() Hart is the hottest comedian of the moment, with a long track record of excelling on-screen when he’s paired with a partner, especially one who’s more of a traditional tough guy/man’s man than he is (See: Ice Cube in the Ride Along movies.) Johnson, while known mostly these days as an action star, has considerable comedic gifts, which has been evident since his pro wrestling days. And the part involving the search for Dory’s parents is quite moving, with a perfect payoff as well as a lesson that isn’t as belabored as in the first film.Īfter last November’s The Good Dinosaur-which I’d completely forgotten everything about by the time I got in my car afterwards- Finding Dory is a return to form for the animation studio.Ĭentral Intelligence, the stunning failure of an action adventure/comedy from Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, is full of miscalculations large and small, but the biggest one is this: it pairs two very funny men, who should be hilarious together, but they’re not. In a brilliant stroke, the new movie is set not in the ocean, but rather in a California aquarium, opening all kinds of storytelling creativity. She’s helped by Nemo and his father Marlin, along with a new cast of characters: there’s Hank the cranky octopus (voiced by Ed O’Neill) and a bickering shark and whale (Kaitlin Olson and Ty Burrell.) Fans of The Wire will be glad to know that a pair of sea lions are voiced by McNulty (Dominic West) and Stringer Bell (Idris Elba.) In Finding Dory, set just one year after the first movie, the titular Blue Tang fish looks for her lost parents. It gets more creative with locations, character, and the animation has advanced immensely since the first movie in 2003. The new movie beats its predecessor for several reasons: it has a better story and supporting cast. So I was pleasantly surprised to discover that Finding Dory is delightful. Outside of Toy Story, Pixar hasn’t done well with sequels and its last one, Monsters University, was clearly a revisiting of a universe that had exhausted all of its ideas the first time out. Now, 13 years later, we have its Dory-focused sequel. I always thought Dory, the forgetful fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres, was not only the most annoying character in the movie, but one of my least-favorite in all of Pixardom. It’s the same thing over and over, and it’s ultimate point-a jeremiad against what’s now known as helicopter parenting-was beaten into the ground. I’m probably in the minority, but I never considered Finding Nemo one of the better Pixar movies. 12/22/2023 0 Comments Startx powerThis platform uses predictive modeling and analytics from historical data, asset and fault data, and weather data to proactively determine where there will likely be faults and high-risk areas in the future. Ultimately, by finding frayed or broken lines before a fire starts, utilities save lives and property, and billions of dollars annually.īuzz Solutions also provides a predictive asset management system. In addition to the tremendous time-savings, the technology also saves utilities 50 percent or more in processing costs. We believe the utility industry is ready to use a far better approach to keep their equipment in good working order and keep people and property safe," said Kaitlyn Albertoli, Co-founder and CEO, Buzz Solutions. "It is definitely time to move forward using AI to reduce the wildfire threat. The utilities can then take steps to evaluate flagged images and repair or replace the equipment. ![]() This AI analysis is done in hours or days. The solution also searches for areas where vegetation may be encroaching on the equipment and posing a fire risk. The solution runs the images through its proprietary algorithms to detect faults on all the major components of transmission and distribution lines. In contrast, the Buzz Solutions analytics, insights, and asset-tracking platform reviews the grid inspection images captured by these varied sources which are stored in the cloud. ![]() During this lengthy inspection cycle, however, a line could easily go down, igniting a wildfire and mandating forced shutdowns. Processing these images takes six to eight months and involves linemen and engineers who manually map all that data together, looking for faults and failures and flagging them for an in-person inspection. The current method for reviewing the status of the power lines is that every year power companies collaborate with other organizations to capture hundreds of thousands of images of power lines, towers, and surrounding vegetation using drones, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft. In fact, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection just determined that PG&E's transmission lines were at fault for last year's massive Kincade Fire which burned 78,000 acres and caused the evacuation of 200,000 people. "We believe Buzz Solutions' AI/ML fueled predictive analytic tools provide transmission line operators a unique, cost-effective, way to identify the full spectrum of potential failures at a higher level of accuracy and operational usefulness than anyone else in the field," said Mark Loch, Operating Partner, Blackhorn Ventures.Īs wildfires and an aging grid infrastructure cause even more serious and dangerous recurrent problems as a result of climate change, power line inspection, and analysis are critically important. ![]() The company's technology is already being used in pilot projects at a large southern California utility, a large Midwest utility, and two large New York utilities. The seed round was led by Blackhorn Ventures with participation from a syndicate comprising Ulu Ventures, Vodia Ventures, and Advisors.fund. ![]() In the process, the platform saves utilities 50- to 70-percent in costs. Buzz Solutions, a StartX accelerator startup, today announces it has raised $1.2 million to perform image analysis and provide actionable reports in a matter of hours or days, compared to the six to eight months it takes utilities now when the work is performed by engineers. PALO ALTO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / J/ Just as wildfire season begins, this startup's AI and Machine Vision technology platform quickly analyzes millions of images of power lines to detect dangerous flaws in the infrastructure, helping utilities to identify problem areas and repair them before a fire starts. StartX startup's solution dramatically reduces time and cost to review thousands of grid images 12/22/2023 0 Comments Vega conflict bluetailSuch colour polymorphisms provide excellent opportunities to link the microevolutionary processes that maintain genetic variation within populations ( Le Rouzic et al., 2015 Svensson, 2017 Takahashi et al., 2014) to macroevolutionary dynamics of discrete and heritable traits ( Jamie and Meier, 2020 Willink et al., 2019). Colour polymorphisms are widespread among many animal taxa and their genetic basis is often due to multiple segregating alleles at a single locus, with different degrees of dominance in relation to each other ( Svensson et al., 2009 Wellenreuther et al., 2014). Since these early days, genetic colour polymorphisms became popular study systems to address questions about the maintenance of genetic and phenotypic variation ( Gordon et al., 2015 Llaurens et al., 2017 Mitchell-Olds et al., 2007 Svensson, 2017 Svensson et al., 2009) and the molecular basis behind suites of correlated traits ( Andrade et al., 2019 Gangoso et al., 2011 McKinnon and Pierotti, 2010 Sinervo and Svensson, 2002 Willink et al., 2020 Woronik et al., 2019). ![]() Before the development of molecular tools to quantify genetic variation in natural populations, ecological geneticists and evolutionary biologists often studied discrete and heritable phenotypic polymorphisms governed by one or a few loci ( Dobzhansky, 1970 Ford, 1975 Provine, 1986 Schemske and Bierzychudek, 2001 Svensson, 2017 Turelli et al., 2001). ![]() The evolutionary processes shaping within- and between-population genetic diversity are classical research themes in population genetics and evolutionary biology that go back to the early days of the Modern Synthesis ( Crow and Kimura, 1970 Dobzhansky, 1970 Fisher, 1930 Haldane, 1949, 1932 Hartl and Clark, 1997 Provine, 1986 Wright, 1932, 1931). Our study provides a robust phylogenetic framework for future research on the dynamic macroevolutionary history of this clade with its extraordinary diversity of sex-limited female polymorphisms. We infer the ancestral state of this genus as female monomorphism with heterochrome females, with multiple gains and losses of polymorphisms, evidence of trans-species polymorphisms and a significant positive relationship between polymorphism incidence and current geographic range size. We estimate the age of Ischnura to be between 13.8 and 23.4 millions of years, i.e. Here, we present the first time-calibrated phylogeny of Ischnura, using a multispecies coalescent approach (StarBEAST2), incorporating both molecular data and fossil information of 41 extant species (55% of the genus). These female colour polymorphisms are considered to be maintained by frequencydependent sexual conflict, but their macroevolutionary histories are unknown, due to the lack of a robust molecular phylogeny. Female-polymorphic species contain two or three female morphs, one of which is malecoloured (androchrome or male mimic) and co-exists with sexually dimorphic (heterochrome) females. ![]() In many damselflies, such as in the globally distributed genus Ischnura (forktails), female colour polymorphisms occur in some species. Colour polymorphisms are popular study systems among biologists interested in evolutionary dynamics, genomics, sexual selection and sexual conflict. 12/22/2023 0 Comments Space age technology![]() If the scientist and other highly specialized workers leave their own country they cannot contribute to advancement of their country. Their moral attitudes and the way they see each other are also influenced by these other countries. Often these countries deprived of knowledge will try to act like the developed countries, but without having the rights laws and code of conduct they end up hurting each other a lot more. Without their scientist the third world countries will also have trouble in being able to extract the energy that comes from their own countries. ![]() Of course, the environment will also suffer, because with out their scientist around they won’t know what to do to take care of their surroundings. If these developed countries company offer them a job somewhere else then they will follow and so the companies that are already in that country will suffer. Now since these people are leaving that means their will be one less person to contribute to the country. If their isn’t any jobs around, developed countries will come in and try and offer those persons a job, in exchange for their knowledge. If a highly educated man or woman is trained and start looking for works, their needs to be jobs available for that person. In turn this will affect the economics and employment of the country. People in third world countries are often not as highly educated as people in the developed countries. For instance the lack of knowledge affects directly education. First of all, education, economics, employment, ecology, energy, ethics and ekistics are all tied in together, and the lack of knowledge affects them all. We will also take a look at how developed countries can help the third world countries.įinally, we shall see what space technology can do to help these countries. We will take a look at how the lack of knowledge affects areas like education, economics, employment, ecology, energy, ethics and ekistics. Third world countries suffer greatly from the deprivation of the knowledge that is an almost exclusive to the developed countries. Third world countries are lagging behind the developed countries in the department of knowledge. The only problem is that this new age of knowledge is not very accessible to everyone on the planet. We now live in an age of knowledge in which space technology plays a great role, by developing new means of communication by which we can share our knowledge. One field of science that has grown exponentially is the department of space exploration. Man has innovated through out history, always developing new technologies and making great advances in science. 12/22/2023 0 Comments Korg micro arranger manual![]() Incredibly, despite the sheer number of buttons, you still need to use shift modes and multi-level menus to get to everything. The features are all there, but the multitudinous buttons which control them are scattered around the control panel seemingly at random. ![]() the feature exists, but the interface is prohibitively bad.Īctually, the bad user interface is a running theme for all editing operations on the synth, including editing configuration, patches, auto-accompaniment styles, etc. The built-in sequencer is acceptable for scratch recording and sneaker-net copying to your computer via SD card, but don't even think of trying to do any sequence editing onboard. It also integrates poorly with the memory/recall system. You get at most two zones, one of which can be layered and the other cannot. The multi-timbral mode (keyboard layering and splitting over multiple patches) is fairly limited, largely because it's optimized for use with the auto-accompaniment features. It's also disappointing that you can't load new samples from the SD card, although you can transfer patches that way that use the ROM-based samples. If you're looking for 70's analog synth sounds, this can do a little, but will mostly disappoint - its sample-based oscillators can't do PWM or sync (some canned combinations are provided in the sample ROM, but of course modulation won't be able to affect those parameters). Its strength is as a General MIDI-style sound bank, but one in which you can deeply customize any patch you dislike, rather than being stuck with what they first give you, as is the case in conventional sound bank synths. ![]() It's good because it was top-of-the-line for its day, and provides a rich set of professional features - a reasonably good set of samples to use as oscillators (although there are a disappointing number of slots wasted with redundant versions) and a powerful and expressive assignable modulation matrix which gives you the ability to combine envelopes, LFOs, and controllers as you see fit (rather than limited canned combinations). It's bad because you're paying full price for a synth engine which is a decade out of date and long since replaced by its manufacturer. The synth engine is straight out of a first generation Korg Triton. The small keys mean that you need to override your muscle memory a little, but they are still definitely usable, and their velocity sensitivity works flawlessly (something I've never seen before on mini keys). Four octaves is the minimum that's necessary if you want to play two-handed in arbitrary keys (I learned that the hard way with a three octave synth), but the extra octave is a nice bonus. I find it interesting that Korg chose to provide five octaves of accordion-size keys rather than four octaves of piano-size keys, which would have taken the same amount of space. The built-in speakers are critical here so that you don't need to carry an amp - they're not loud enough for gigs, but work great for rehearsals or small jam sessions. The size is perfect for a keyboard you want to just toss in the car and bring with you without any fuss. I bought this little keyboard because of its size and its synth engine, even though I was nearly entirely uninterested in the auto-accompaniment features that make it an "arranger." Here are my thoughts after using it for a quarter of a year: 12/22/2023 0 Comments 123 burger shop![]() BrightestGames brings you the latest and best games without download requirements, delivering a fun gaming experience for all devices like computers, mobile phones, also tablets.

This is what I heard from someone that I trust and it will likely not be called "Bitcoin" per say - But it will be a cryptocurrency." Just so there's even less confusion - I'm not joking. These payments will come from the more higher up characters that needs to transfer high amounts of "untraceable cash and fast". Just so there's no confusion, I mean in-game payments of bitcoin. If GTA 6 incorporates this right, it's huge for crypto. The stock market feature will return, with the addition of a broker for different cryptocurrencies. Trusted leaker Tom Henderson recently revealed that cryptocurrency could play a part in GTA 6, being a method of currency in the game, with it being used by "higher up characters that need, it, to transfer high amounts of untraceable cash and fast."
