![]() ![]() But the fact that such destruction could happen again, and that if it did, it might involve a hydrogen bomb, which would be exponentially worse, yields the feeling that this historical episode does not exist safely in our past. The overwhelming majority of Americans were not alive when their government chose to drop nuclear bombs on humans. Our country’s obsession with nuclear destruction has ebbed and flowed over the past half century, but it’s never really abated. And we have no control over it.” Nolan recently told an interviewer that he doesn’t disagree with a fellow filmmaker’s characterization of his film as a horror movie. Though Tonay has yet to see Oppenheimer, she predicted that the film is “going to put right back into the collective unconscious and consciousness of all of us that in fact we could have been destroyed by nuclear warheads for decades now. This phenomenon relates to the “ continuity hypothesis,” in which our dreams are an extension of what we see and experience in our waking life. As one would expect, Barron’s data found that such dreams were more common when the topic was more prevalent in news coverage. Barron, who told her he collected accounts of nuclear-annihilation dreams from patients during the Cold War. She told me that although most people don’t dream about politics specifically, “they do tend to dream about things that are very emotionally valent for everyone, like an earthquake, or like nuclear annihilation.” She invoked a former colleague, the late Frank X. After my bomb nightmare left me unsettled for a few days, I reached out to Veronica Tonay, a licensed psychologist and a retired professor at UC Santa Cruz who has studied dreams as part of her work. In a sense, it’s no wonder nukes are in people’s dreams. Last month, President Joe Biden told reporters that the threat of Putin using a tactical nuclear weapon is “real.” Just this week, North Korea’s defense minister responded to an American nuclear submarine’s docking in South Korea by saying that the move “may fall under the conditions of the use of nuclear weapons” according to North Korean law. Vladimir Putin has repeatedly taunted enemies and boasted about the strength of his nuclear arsenal. A ridiculously large bomb that resembles Oppenheimer’s Gadget even rolls through the streets of Rome during a dizzying chase scene in Fast X.įear of the bomb is also in the news in a way that it hasn’t been since the end of the Cold War. Desert bomb tests pop up in the background of Wes Anderson’s pastel dramedy Asteroid City. In the latest Mission: Impossible installment, Tom Cruise’s on-screen team races to thwart a possible nuclear attack at Abu Dhabi International Airport. 2 on the New York Times best-seller list. American Prometheus, the book that inspired Christopher Nolan’s film, is currently No. Oppenheimer is poised to be among the biggest films of the year and will likely nab several Academy Award nominations. Read: Oppenheimer is more than a creation myth about the atomic bombĮnd-of-the-world anxiety is omnipresent in contemporary American culture. I awoke just before impact, sweating, heart thumping, fists clenched. I was dead asleep, watching a missile carve an arc across the sky. (“Too many Oppenheimer dreams last night □□,” reads one representative tweet.) My bomb dream happened last Sunday night. Poke around social media right now, and you’ll notice that scores of people are experiencing acute nuclear anxiety. It’s an old adage that nobody wants to hear about anyone else’s dreams, but perhaps we can make an exception for nuclear night terrors this summer. Those inexorable, ominous seconds were the basis of a nightmare I had recently. What I’ve always found most haunting is the countdown to detonation-when the decision has been made but the world has yet to change. And yet, the explosion itself is hard for most of us to conceptualize. Robert Oppenheimer’s humanity-altering creation known as “Gadget.” The resulting mushroom cloud remains one of history’s most iconic images. July 16, 1945, marked the first deployment of J. As the minutes passed, “a multi-colored cloud surged 38,000 feet into the air,” according to the Air Force Nuclear Weapons Center.

![]() ![]() Linear DNG is still scene-referred and can still benefit from many of the operations typically performed by a raw converter, such as white balance, the application of a camera color profile, HDR compositing, etc. The latter (non-raw) format is known as "Linear DNG". ĭNG is both a raw image format and a format that supports "non-raw", or partly processed, images. DNG supports various formats of metadata (including Exif metadata, XMP metadata, IPTC metadata) and specifies a set of mandated metadata. It normally has the extension "dng" or "DNG".ĭNG conforms to TIFF/EP and is structured according to TIFF. Ī DNG file always contains data for one main image, plus metadata, and optionally contains at least one JPEG preview. ![]() The lossy compression losses are practically imperceptible in real world images. Lossless and lossy compression (optional): DNG support optional lossless and (since version 1.4) also lossy compression.Documented to have no known intellectual property encumbrances or license requirements: there is both a "Digital Negative (DNG) Specification Patent License" which says that anyone can exploit DNG, and a statement that there are no known intellectual property encumbrances or license requirements for DNG.Freely-available source-code-based software development kit (SDK): there is an SDK it is source-code-based (as can be verified by examination) and it can be downloaded from the Adobe website without needing justification.Version control scheme: it has a version scheme built into it that allows the DNG specification, DNG writers, and DNG readers to evolve at their own paces.Self-contained file format: a DNG file contains both the raw image data and metadata needed to render an image without needing additional knowledge of the characteristics of the camera.Format based on open specifications and/or standards: DNG is compatible with TIFF/EP, and various open formats and/or standards are used, including Exif metadata, XMP metadata, IPTC metadata, CIE XYZ coordinates and JPEG.Freely-available specification: this can be downloaded from the Adobe website without negotiation or needing justification.Characteristics Īll of the above objectives are facilitated or enabled by most of these characteristics: Multi-vendor interoperability to be suitable for workflows where different hardware and software components share raw image files and/or transmit and receive them. Raw image formats for more than 230 camera models can be converted to DNG. Assessment: About 12 camera manufacturers have used DNG in-camera. In-camera use by camera manufacturers to be suitable for many camera manufacturers to use as a native or optional raw image format in many cameras. An unresolved restriction is that any edit/development settings stored in the DNG file by a software product are unlikely to be recognized by a product from a different company. Assessment: Software could support raw formats without DNG, by using reverse engineering and/or dcraw DNG makes it easier, and many software products can handle, via DNG, images from cameras that they have no specific knowledge of. Easy and/or comprehensive exploitation by software developers to enable software to be developed without the need for reverse engineering and to avoid the need for frequent software upgrades and re-releases to cater for new cameras. The Digital Photography Best Practices and Workflow (dpBestflow) project, funded by the United States Library of Congress and run by the American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP), singles out DNG, and states "DNG files have proven to be significantly more useful than the proprietary raw files in our workflow".

Turns out the Alliance was simply trying to bring contentment to its crowded planetary system, by distracting them from their problems and making them feel like they had a life. "Serenity" is made of dubious but energetic special effects, breathless velocity, much imagination, some sly verbal wit and a little political satire. What a crock, especially considering that Joss Whedon, the TV series author (and writer-director of "Serenity") earlier created "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," and so deserved the benefit of the doubt. Science fiction fans will recognize the plot line and most of the characters from a short-lived Fox series named "Firefly," which (I learn in a letter from Stephen McNeil of Sydney, Nova Scotia), was canceled in mid-season, but not before the episodes were carelessly shown out of proper order. On their trail is the most competent and feared of the Alliance's agents, The Operative ( Chiwetel Ejiofor). ![]() Malcolm ( Nathan Fillion) is the captain, and his crew includes the pilot Wash ( Alan Tudyk), his wife, Zoe ( Gina Torres), the engineer Kaylee ( Jewel Staite) and the tough guy Jayne ( Adam Baldwin). River and Simon are soon enough allied with a team of free-lance smugglers on a banged-up old ship named Serenity. Because she can read minds, she knows their secrets. As the film opens, a psychic named River Tam ( Summer Glau) is rescued from Alliance mind-washers by her brother Simon ( Sean Maher), and then we learn that River was unwisely exhibited to a roomful of important Alliance parliamentarians. It takes place in a solar system of a dozen terraformed planets and "hundreds of moons," and there is a war going on between the Alliance, which runs things and wants everybody to be happy, and a group of rebels who begin to make disturbing discoveries. "Serenity" is an old-fashioned space opera, and differs from a horse opera mostly in that it involves space, not horses.

I'm not sure. I should have said something when we got the bad pizza but sadly I didn't. We have always taken the left overs home but this time we left them on the platter. But the very good pizza we usually get from Crusty's was terrible. It means the dough didn't rise or maybe the yeast was bad. I am very aware of the gray layer in the middle. Now I have tried to make pizza at home and it has failed on a lot of occasions. The crust was hard and flat and there was a line of gray in the middle of the dough. I didn't think any more about it until we bit into the pizza. something odd.the usual fluffy edges of the pizza (any pizza) were flat, like a flat bread.

Nonetheless, be alert if the light continues to be on while you are driving. After a short while, the light will go off. When you turn on your car for the first time, this light should briefly appear. When you start the car, then the car battery light illuminates, and everything is well. A radio that won’t switch on and slowly opening power windows are other potential issues. The engine may make a clicking noise when you try to start it. Maybe the automobile won’t start, or maybe the ignition stutters. These issues frequently are accompanied by other bad battery symptoms in your car. When the battery light is on in a car, it can mean that your battery is worn out or damaged, or that the charging system isn’t working properly. Your battery light, often known as the dashboard battery indicator, is intended to alert you to any problems with the battery or charging system in your car. What does the battery light mean in your car?. ![]() Well, in this article, well, get to discuss the answers to the following questions: When this occurs, you most likely have concerns regarding your car’s battery. A dead battery typically occurs when you least expect it, such as right before you leave for work when you’re already running late or right after you go on a road trip. The automobile battery warning light is the most frequently caused by a battery breakdown, and it may be very annoying. Your automobile battery is one component that, when it breaks down, can completely ruin your day. Take some time to figure out the cause of your dashboard battery light being on before pulling out the jumper wires or worrying about potential repairs. We’ll address the most often-asked inquiries in this section, such as what to do if the battery light is on. But you need to know what to do if your car’s battery light comes on. A dashboard automobile battery light could indicate a variety of issues in the engine compartment, from a faulty battery to an alternator failure. If you’re like most drivers, you probably think more about your road trip playlists than your car’s battery. How frequently do you think about or check the battery in your car? Well, let me take a guess, “never” until there is a problem. ![]() ![]() ![]() It will also allow you to communicate with your baby many months earlier than the typical non-signing parent!

Signing is a useful skill that can open up for you a new world of relationships and understanding. I'm glad you are here! You can learn ASL! You've picked a great topic to be studying. Students shouldn't have to pay outrageous amounts of money just to learn sign language. This cartoon (adapted with permission from the artist) sums up my philosophy regarding curriculum. Another very real and important part of the Lifeprint ASL curriculum project is that of being able to use the "magic" of the internet to provide a high quality sign language curriculum to those who need it the most but are often least able to afford it. Thus, going through the lessons sequentially starting with lesson 1 allows you to reach communicative competence in sign language very quickly-and it is based on second language acquisition research (mixed with a couple decades of real world ASL teaching experience). Then I took the concepts that appeared the most frequently and translated those concepts into their equivalent ASL counterparts and included them in the lessons moving from most frequently used to less frequently used. I compiled lists of concepts from concordance research based on a language database (corpus) of hundreds of thousands of language samples. The main series of lessons in the ASL University Curriculum are based on research I did into what are the most common concepts used in everyday communication.
