![]() ![]() McCay created a hand-coloured short film of Little Nemo for use during his vaudeville act in 1911, but it was Gertie the Dinosaur, created for McCay’s 1914 tour, that transformed the art. The one great exception among these early illustrators-turned-animators was Winsor McCay, whose elegant, surreal Little Nemo in Slumberland and Dream of the Rarebit Fiend remain pinnacles of comic-strip art. Take a look at a video clip from Winsor McCay's “Gertie on Tour” See all videos for this article Coinciding with the rise in popularity of the Sunday comic sections of the new tabloid newspapers, the nascent animation industry recruited the talents of many of the best-known artists, including Rube Goldberg, Bud Fisher (creator of Mutt and Jeff) and George Herriman (creator of Krazy Kat), but most soon tired of the fatiguing animation process and left the actual production work to others. In France, Émile Cohl was developing a form of animation similar to Blackton’s, though Cohl used relatively crude stick figures rather than Blackton’s ambitious newspaper-style cartoons. Later that year, Blackton also experimented with the stop-motion technique-in which objects are photographed, then repositioned and photographed again-for his short film Haunted Hotel. Stuart Blackton, whose Humorous Phases of Funny Faces in 1906 launched a successful series of animated films for New York’s pioneering Vitagraph Company. Although “firsts” of any kind are never easy to establish, the first film-based animator appears to be J. With the invention of sprocket-driven film stock, animation was poised for a great leap forward. Stuart Blackton's animated movie “Humorous Phases of Funny Faces” See all videos for this article Reynaud became not only animation’s first entrepreneur but, with his gorgeously hand-painted ribbons of celluloid conveyed by a system of mirrors to a theatre screen, the first artist to give personality and warmth to his animated characters. The Frenchman Émile Reynaud in 1876 adapted the principle into a form that could be projected before a theatrical audience. In 1834 William George Horner invented the zoetrope, a rotating drum lined by a band of pictures that could be changed. One of the first commercially successful devices, invented by the Belgian Joseph Plateau in 1832, was the phenakistoscope, a spinning cardboard disk that created the illusion of movement when viewed in a mirror. If drawings of the stages of an action were shown in fast succession, the human eye would perceive them as a continuous movement. Early experimenters, working to create conversation pieces for Victorian parlours or new sensations for the touring magic-lantern shows, which were a popular form of entertainment, discovered the principle of persistence of vision. The theory of the animated cartoon preceded the invention of the cinema by half a century.

It's sometimes faster than other projects at the same res at labs using macs and CC (CUDA MISSING). I don't mind using my few $50-100 pc's that I put 100-150 into for upgrades to work on effects and render. I've put CUDA into the mix only recently. But for Pro-bono (not getting paid) it does what I need, and works every time. I max it out by using old hardware, but as fast as I can make it (I have a little fun playing computer frankenstein okay?), and it works pretty well for some pro-bono type work. I was just adding the info for those, like me, who have a small shop where they work with small projects, all using the older software versions. I know it isn't necessary on the windows machines I've used, as the software actually looks for a card, checks for a specified value. But most labs I work with have CC and are on macs (for when I go above 1080, or have more than 3 sources). In my case, this was simple logic since the existing GeForce GTX entries did not include NVIDIA. This did not work, so I removed NVIDIA that solved the problem. I tried entering the full description exactly as shown including NVIDIA e.g. If a similar card is not shown in the file, a program called GPUZ was recommended that will show the video card name.

![]() ![]() Since distribution of the vaccines began on December 14, daily deaths and daily cases plummeted. President Donald Trump at the White House in January 2021 Drew Angerer/Getty Images These astonishing vaccines rank among the best ever approved by the FDA. The last administration slashed through regulatory red tape, forged historic partnerships with the private sector and harnessed the full power and resources of the federal government.Īs a result, Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson all proceeded quickly through rigorous clinical trials and produced highly effective and safe vaccines. In the months that followed, the Trump administration did the impossible and produced not one, not two, but three vaccines at warp speed. After all, no vaccine in history had been developed in under four years, and many believed that a coronavirus vaccine could take as long as a decade. ![]() The talking heads on CNN, ABC and MSNBC derided the possibility that a vaccine could be approved on an accelerated timeline. When Operation Warp Speed launched last May, many scoffed at its name. But President Trump and Republicans in Congress had the foresight to see the best way forward: rapid, effective vaccine development. The experts were wrong about a lot: the severity of the virus, its origins, its metrics of spread and the proper way to respond to it. They have now been forced to reassess their naïve conclusions, as evidence mounts that the initial outbreak started at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. When I questioned the Chinese Communist Party's alibi that the pandemic started in an outdoor food market and pointed out that it was far more likely that the outbreak started in a lab, these experts and the liberal media wrote me off as a conspiracy theorist. While I was sounding the alarm early last year, these so-called experts denounced a travel ban on China as racist fear-mongering-yet they now admit it saved thousands of lives. They negligently delayed the return of children to the classroom, even though the clear evidence showed that it was safe to do so. They advocated for protracted lockdowns that resulted in the sharpest economic contraction in American history and opposed every attempt to ameliorate these restrictions. Fauci started the pandemic by telling Americans that masks didn't work, but then they demanded that we wear two of them even while outside. The successes of OWS are even more remarkable given the sheer number of mistakes made by public health experts during this crisis. This incredible feat of science and medicine should be celebrated and our nation should seek to codify it and replicate its success in additional fields of pandemic response. Thanks to OWS, our nation developed three safe, effective and life-saving vaccines at record speed. It ranks alongside President Kennedy's Moon Shot in its audacity and is virtually unrivalled in its results. One year ago tomorrow, President Trump launched Operation Warp Speed (OWS), a bold scientific initiative that resulted in one of the greatest medical achievements of the modern age. ![]() ![]() The motor failed twice and ate up a significant portion of the warranty. The Dash is designed to give you 73 Newton Meters of torque for hills or hauling extra gear.

The 2016 Dash had multiple issues that caused motors to fail, mainly inadequate torque sensing and a boost button that allowed riders to zoom to 20 mph from a stop, causing severe stress to the junk TranzX motor. It's got me confused.Īny help would be hugely, hugely appreciated.ĮDIT - 10/2018 - iZip belongs on the DO NOT BUY list.

On Vancouver Island, the Nuu-chah-nulth people told tales of mountain dwarves inviting a person to dance around their drum. In the next 50 years, the chance of another magnitude 9 earthquake there is 1 in 10. The evidence is massive: subsided marshes, drowned forests, sediment layers showing enormous landslides that flowed out on the ocean floor, seismic profiles of the Juan de Fuca plate, and satellite measurements of a coast deforming from the stress of a plate that’s once again locked. Geologists now know that the Pacific Northwest has been having these earthquakes and tsunamis irregularly every 500 years or so their oldest record in sediments goes back at least 10,000 years. The coast dropped by as much as two meters, and a tsunami brought floods more than 300 meters inland. ![]() The earthquake that resulted was probably a magnitude 9, about as big as earthquakes get. Along this coast, the Juan de Fuca plate was pushing under the larger North American plate, had gotten stuck-locked-but kept pushing until it released, abruptly and violently. Here’s what geologists say: the earthquake that almost certainly occurred on the night of January 26, 1700, ruptured North America’s Pacific Northwest coast for hundreds of kilometers, from northern California, through Oregon and Washington, to southern Vancouver Island. The land shook and the ocean flooded in, said the Huu-ay-aht people who are part of the Nuu-chah-nulth, and people didn’t even have time to wake up and get into their canoes, and “everything then drifted away, everything was lost and gone.” Farther north still, on Vancouver Island, dwarfs who lived in a mountain invited a person to dance around their drum the person accidentally kicked the drum and got earthquake-foot, said the Nuu-chah-nulth people, and after that every step he took caused an earthquake. That same night, farther up the coast in what is now Washington, Thunderbird and Whale had a terrible fight, making the mountains shake and uprooting the trees, said the Quileute and the Hoh people they said the ocean rose up and covered the whole land. But then they looked down and saw the water covering their village and the whole coast they knew they could never make the world right again. “And the water was flowing all over.” The people went to the top of a hill, wearing headbands of woodpecker feathers, so they could dance a jumping dance that would keep the earthquake away and return them to their normal lives. “The earth would quake and quake again and quake again,” said the Yurok people. ![]() His feet were heavy and when he ran he shook the ground so much it sank down and the ocean poured in. In the year 1700, on January 26, at 9:00 at night, in what is now northern California, Earthquake was running up and down the coast.
