![]() ![]() Knowing that Betty’s unfulfilled lifelong dream has been to travel the world and meet different people, combined with his desire to shield his friend from conversation, leads Froggy to tell everyone that Charlie is a foreigner who doesn’t speak a word of English. There’s the engaged couple Reverend David (Jay Sullivan) and Catherine (Elizabeth Bunch) Catherine’s duncey brother Ellard (Jeremy Webb) and the town building inspector, Owen (Chris Hutchinson). The combination of a stressful time, Charlie’s general social phobia and a belief that he’s utterly boring and worthless renders him apoplectic at the thought of having to make small talk with the lodge’s owner, Betty (Annalee Jefferies), and other guests. The getaway is purposefully timed to give Charlie respite from tending to his dying wife, who we learn is not quite as dedicated to the marriage as her dutiful caretaker husband. Sergeant “Froggy” LeSueur (Paul Hope) arranges a three-day mini vacation at a small-town American fishing lodge for his old English civilian friend Charlie Baker (Jeffrey Bean). The foundation of the story is actually quite simple and charming in an imperfect kind of way. ![]() It makes for a truly enjoyable production of what is otherwise a thin wisp of a repetitive, jokey idea that gets totally bogged down by an unfortunate toe dip into the cesspool of xenophobia.īut back to the plot. Director James Black leads his uniformly superlative cast with impeccable comedic timing that allows plenty of breathing room for characters to shine. Realizing I’m blowing the punch line long before the setup here, my feeling is that both sides are correct. I couldn’t afford any distraction as I attempted to reconcile these two wildly dichotomous viewpoints of a play that, love it or hate it, seems here to stay. I went solo, in case you’re wondering, not to deny what’s obviously a not so guilty pleasure from my mates. So much so that this is the third time the Alley Theatre has staged the show and the only time in this past theater season that friends overwhelmingly clamored to be my plus one opening night. But ask the audience how it feels about the show and you’ll get a whole different can of worms, and not just because the whole thing takes place in a remote fishing lodge somewhere in rural Georgia. We’ve called it a “contrived television sitcom” (Ben Brantley in The New York Times), accused it of “shallow plotting” (Joel Hirschhorn in Variety) and labeled it “simply mindless” and “dimwitted” (Bert Osborne in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution). That he does fuels the nonstop hilarity of the play and sets up the wildly funny climax in which things go uproariously awry for the "bad guys," and the "good guys" emerge triumphant.Larry Shue’s 1985 farce The Foreigner is one of those pickle plays to review. Once alone the fun really begins, as Charlie overhears more than he should-the evil plans of a sinister, two-faced minister and his redneck associate the fact that the minister's pretty fiancée is pregnant and many other damaging revelations made with the thought that Charlie doesn't understand a word being said. So "Froggy," before departing, tells all assembled that Charlie is from an exotic foreign country and speaks no English. This time "Froggy" has brought along a friend, a pathologically shy young man named Charlie who is overcome with fear at the thought of making conversation with strangers. The scene is a fishing lodge in rural Georgia often visited by "Froggy" LeSeuer, a British demolition expert who occasionally runs training sessions at a nearby army base. ![]() Directed by: Michael Despars and Genni Klein

![]() hey,take it easy,i've gotten a ton of work done today-i said watching my brother about to scream-a skele-ton-i finish my pun and listen soft giggles from the hidden girl,man,her voice! She's too cute!įinally,the brother of Sans left and i come out, i approached Sans to talk-heh,guess you oughta get going,he might come back and if he does.you'll have to sit trough more of my hilarious jokes!-he said I still stare at the lamp,or,better said,the one hidden behind it,i dont know why but (y/n) looks pretty handsome to me,with her beautiful (h/s)(h/c) hair and her sparkling big charming (e/c) eyes,she's was bring back to reality thanks to my bro who start yell about how lazy i am. That is true in more than one sense.-NO!!I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THAT!!-he said more frustrated and continue with one of his talks about how great he will become afther capture a human. !!YOU JUST HANG AROUND OUTSIDE YOUR STATION!WHAT ARE YOU EVEN DOING!-he yelled at me,but i dont really care-staring at this lamp,its really cool,do you wanna look?-i said. sup,bro?-i tell Papyrus when he is in front of me.-YOU KNOW WHAT "SUP" BROTHER!-Papyrus said-IT'S BEEN EIGHT DAYS AND YOU STILL HAVEN'T. I told (y/n) to hide behind a lamp,i dont know why,but she makes me feel.strange. Quick,hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp-he told you,and you quickly do it.Just on time to see another skeleton,this one was taller and he wears an outfit that it seems like was created for a costume party,It includes a white chest plate with gold trim, orange-red gloves with gold trim, blue briefs with a golden belt, and knee-high, orange-red boots. Yeah,go right through,my bro made the bars too wide to stop anyone-he said at the same time you walk through,less worried. sorry,kiddo-he say letting go of your hand.He looks like a nice guy-You know? Im actually supposed to be on watch for humans right now, but i dont really care about it,now my brother Papyrus its a human-hunting fanatic-when he said that,you got scared,you dont know this guy Papyrus and you dont want to be captured-hey,actually,i think thats him over there-Sans said without taking his eyes off from you,thing that you dont really notice-i have an idea,go through this gate thingy. heheh,the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick,its ALWAYS funny-said the skeleton.You was in shock but then you giggle at the prank he did to you,he looked pleased and for a moment you thought you saw a slight shade of blue on his bonecheeks-anyways-he continue-youre a human right? Thats hilarious-he was still holding your hand wich made you feel a bit uncomfortable-the name's sans,sans the skeleton-he said-Nice to meet you Sans,im (y/n) and.hu.i think thats my hand-you said trying not to sound rude He wears an unzipped blue hoodie, a white t-shirt, black shorts with white stripes, and a pair of slippers. You raise your head to see who it is and you discover that it is a short skeleton with a dimpled smile and large orbits. Human,dont you know how to greet a new pal?-someone tell yo with a deep voice-Turn around and shake my hand-you was afraid,but gathering all your determination you turn around and take his hand,surplisingly,it was a boney hand and your confusion just got bigger at the fart sound coming from the hand you were holding. ![]() ![]() ![]() You continue walking but this time even faster,you wasnt the kind of people who scared easy,but this was really getting into your nerves.įinally you reach the start of a bridge with some kind of construction in it,suddenly you hear footsteps coming from behind you and you paralize in fear. You look around to find out where you are and find that youre actually in front of a path of snow surrounded by really tall trees.You start walking trought it and as farter you walk the sensation of being watched increased,you start to feel nervous as you walk faster.In middle of the path,was a stick laying in the snow,you walk over it thinking that it will snap,but it didnt,you keep going until you hear something snap behind you so you turn around just to see the stick.broken. You really feel sorry for the goat mom,but you need to continue your path. You walk out of the ruins,stepping into the snow. first than nothing: Im not dead! XD my wifi sucks but i can finally publish the fanfic,actually i was thinking to make a one-shot but i ended with this lmao.soooooo i hope you like it. ![]() ![]() In the template dialog, select your resolution. When creating a texture, enter robot as the texture name and check the Template option. Remember that Minecraft doesn’t like high-resolution images. You can also UV map cubes manually, but creating a template does the work for you and finds the most space-efficient layout. The template is a texture that has a unique space for every cube and every face of the model. Once the shape of the model is done, you can create a texture template. You can also use this tool on cubes if you want to rotate those around a specific point. This tool allows you to move the pivot point of the bone. Select a bone and press P to get the Pivot tool. When you're creating bones for moving parts of the model, always think about which point the part should rotate around. You can either mirror them before or after creating the texture depending on whether you want the same texture on both sides. ![]() If you're working on symmetrical parts like limbs, create them on the right-hand side first and mirror them to the left later. To avoid stretched or invisible faces, make sure the size of cubes sticks to full numbers. That means that the texture mapping will only use full numbers and will round down to a smaller number if necessary. Depending on the modeling style, it can make sense to completely stick to the grid or only move the cubes in half or quarter increments.īedrock Edition models use Box UV mapping by default. You can move cubes more precisely by holding either shift, control, or both at the same time. A trick to add cubes faster is to select an already positioned cube and press Ctrl + D (duplicate) to get a copy. Create new cubes and use the move, resize, and rotation tools to adjust it. You can now start to create the shape of the model. This screenshot shows the correct bone structure of the finished model. You can drag around groups to change the order or drop them into other groups. While we build up the model in the following steps, make sure the structure is set up correctly. Each bone name has to be unique for future reference through animations. The name for a bone should be snake_case (so only including lower case letters, numbers, and underscores). You can right-click the group or press F2 to rename it. “Groups” and “Bones” are essentially the same in this context. This means that you'll later be able to animate the entire model at once, as well as specific parts of it. Each bone itself is invisible but can contain cubes that will shape the model.Ī good practice is to use a root bone for each model and put everything else inside it. Bones are the part of the model that can be animated, and they can be arranged in an arbitrarily deep hierarchy. The first thing to consider when making a model is the bone structure. The confirm button will save these settings. The Box UV setting and the texture size can also be left at default because we'll change them later. We can leave the field for the file name empty for now as we'll later define it when we export the model. Spaces and other special characters aren't supported. The best practice is to use snake_case - so only lower case letters, numbers and underscores as well as dots. Here, we'll enter a unique name for the model. You'll see a dialog about the basic settings for the project. When you first open Blockbench, you'll see a list of available model formats. To create the model and texture, we're going to use Blockbench, a 3D modeling program that can create models for the Bedrock Edition of Minecraft. Each model uses a texture that can be assigned through render controllers. Models in Minecraft use a specific format that uses JSON to define the shape. It’s recommended that the following be completed before beginning this tutorial. How to apply textures and animations to a model.How to create a model for an entity using Blockbench.In this tutorial you will learn the following: As an example, we'll model and animate a small robot, which was started in the Introduction to Add Entity article. In this guide, we'll go through the basics of creating a model and creating animations for Minecraft: Bedrock Edition. This article is part of the Minecraft Entity Introduction tutorial series from the Minecraft Creator Portal and can also be found on Microsoft Docs. ![]() The most frustrating part is the bots rarely respect your carding on defense. ![]() As readers know, I am an avid bot player with the BBO GIB bots and they are generally great for learning.

Fun Bridge, coming from the developer Goto Games, is running on Android systerm in the past. What 9mm ammo is best for home defense? When looking for 9mm ammo for home-defense, you’re typically most concerned with over penetration or penetration through walls. ![]() What 9mm ammo does the military use? While you might think the US Military would use hollow point ammo like the police or FBI/CIA agents do, they actually can only use full metal jacket (FMJ) ammo, also known as “ball ammo.” This is because of the Geneva Convention that was agreed upon to not use “fragmenting rounds” in combat (although the US never signed that specific agreement, they have almost always abided by it). The FBI has used various rounds in the past though and many of those decisions are based both on cost and effectiveness (other rounds that have passed FBI protocol checks are Federal Law Enforcement P9HST1 124gr HST JHP ammo). Which 9mm ammo does the FBI use? As of 2018, the FBI uses Hornady Critical Duty® 9mm+P for handgun service ammunition. That makes them a great choice for indoor range shooting. While these rounds aren’t cheap (typically $0.05 to $0.10 per round higher than regular ball ammo) they use specialty “non-tox” primers, fully encapsulated bullets (TMJ), and very clean-burning powder. Which 9mm ammo burns the cleanest? Some of the cleanest burning 9mm ammo is Speer Lawman CleanFire 9mm ammo. Also, very light grain weights have low recoil, since the firearm does not need to produce excessive force in order to fire the bullet. Which 9mm ammo has the least recoil? Most subsonic 9mm ammo with have a lower recoil since they are typically loaded to a lower pressure (in order to keep the velocities below the speed of sound). Remanufactured 9mm Luger ammo can be touch and go though since Glocks have unsupported barrels that can cause case bulging or ruptures in pre-fired rounds. ![]() However, we’ve noticed brands like PMC and Federal American Eagle 9mm tend to run better in Glocks. Make sure to bring at least two forms of ID with you for the ammo transfer! Which 9mm ammo is the best for Glock 19? Non-modified Glock 19 pistols do well with almost all new manufacture 9mm ammo. That FFL will run a required background check on the purchaser as well. However, due to Proposition 63, all ammo must be shipped to a licensed FFL in California. Can you ship 9mm ammo to California? Yep, sure can. Thanks to the easy of shopping, better bulk 9mm ammo prices, and wider ammunition selection, most folks prefer to buy online (especially when ammo shortages occur). Where to buy 9mm ammo? While many folks buy their 9mm ammo in retail stores, more folks are buying 9mm Luger ammo online every day. These rounds can usually be safely fired in most modern 9mm chambered firearms though. ![]() Those designations are still the same caliber, they just have higher pressure when fired (also called “hotter” rounds). Where there is a difference in 9mm caliber ammo is with 9mm NATO and 9mm +P ammo. ![]() It’s easy to get confused about it though since many ammunition manufacturers use one or the other name. 9mm – 147 gr HST JHP – Federal Premium (P9HST2) – 1000 Rounds $799.00 $749.00 ( $0.80 $0.75 per round ) Add to cartĬommon 9mm Ammo Questions What is the difference between 9mm ammo and 9mm Luger? 9 mm ammo and 9mm Luger are actually the same calibers. ![]() Our paper highlights that various management control systems, as well as combinations of management control systems, are able to facilitate organizational ambidexterity. We use Malmi and Brown’s ( 2008) typology to classify the management control systems studied so far in relation to organizational ambidexterity. For this purpose, we systematically review the available papers on the topic. This paper provides an overview of this body of the literature and proposes fruitful future research avenues. Nevertheless, some articles have been published on the relations between organizational ambidexterity and management control systems. 2009 O’Reilly and Tushman 2013), little research on how management control systems support and influence organizational ambidexterity has thus far been conducted. 2014 McCarthy and Gordon 2011).ĭespite this apparent importance of management control systems for creating organizational ambidexterity, and ultimately firm survival and superior firm performance (Cao et al. However, an appropriate representation of ambidexterity objectives in a firm’s management control system may support the adequate pursuit of exploration activities, which, in turn, may help ensure an organization’s longer-term existence (Haustein et al. 2009 Hill and Birkinshaw 2014 McNamara and Baden-Fuller 1999). Research has found that while many firms do not lack a focus on exploitation, they often invest too little time and resources into exploratory activities (Davis et al. Therefore, management control systems can further the exploitative as well as the exploratory behavior of employees in an organization. Similarly, Strauß and Zecher ( 2013) argue that strategic issues such as balancing exploratory and exploitative activities may also be pursued with the help of management control systems. Malmi and Brown ( 2008) and Guenther ( 2013) purport that management control systems influence the behavior of managers and employees. To develop and maintain an adequate balance between exploitation and exploration, the use of management control systems can be essential (McCarthy and Gordon 2011). In general, ambidextrous organizations seem to show better performance and greater competitiveness (Cao et al. O’Reilly and Tushman ( 2013), for instance, study the influence of organizational ambidexterity under uncertain conditions and find that higher survival rates, better financial performance and more innovation are clearly linked to organizational ambidexterity. ![]() Many studies show a positive correlation between organizational ambidexterity and the survival of organizations. In the literature, the simultaneous pursuit of and balance between exploitation and exploration is referred to as organizational ambidexterity (O’Reilly and Tushman 2013). 2011 Wernerfeldt 1984), Simons ( 2010) therefore argues that organizations need to (i) exploit their existing resources to be able to generate revenues and earnings and (ii) explore new opportunities and resources, create innovations and adapt to arising changes. In line with the basic tenets of the resource-based view (Barney 1991 Barney et al. Thus, organizations must cope with a high level of uncertainty, adapting to new developments while carefully utilizing their resources to do so (e.g., Güttel and Konlechner 2009 Winter and Szulanski 2001). ![]() Most contemporary organizations find rapid technological developments and political changes difficult to predict (e.g., Coeckelbergh 2012 Grant 2015). The paper concludes with several specific ideas for further research. In line with this notion, some of the included papers even find a complementary effect of the combined use of opposing management controls to support the achievement of organizational ambidexterity. Overall, the results of the review show that rather than a single specific management control system, a package of management control systems and various forms of using such systems may be necessary to successfully achieve and manage organizational ambidexterity. The aim of the present short survey paper is to provide an overview of the current literature on organizational ambidexterity and management control systems. Some recent studies indicate that management control systems may be able to foster organizational ambidexterity. In recent years, the management literature has increasingly investigated organizational ambidexterity-the ability to balance exploitative and explorative activities-as an important antecedent to firm survival and performance.

We did cover a free tutorial on this subject but if you want to do 3D/VFX work as a career then you know premium courses are well worth the money. The version used is slightly old but the concept still applies as Nuke has matured a lot by now.ĭue to its nodal workflow, Nuke might be harder to understand compared to layer based software such as After Effects. This course will also serve as a refresher for seasoned veterans as it tackles every topic comprehensively. You’ll get to perform compositing alongside a professional rather than just watching how someone else works. Most of the techniques discussed have been tackled in free tutorials above, but what makes this course essential is its project files. Premium TutorialsĪimed at total beginners, this fundamentals course will get you up and running with Nuke in no time. Also be sure to check out the project files that you can download and work with. This is a tricky video but worth the effort if you can get through it. You’ll also learn how to add fires onto tricky areas such as under shadows by warping and retiming the footage. ![]() You’ll feather out the edges to blend footages seamlessly. Like in a usual compositing workflow, here you’ll create several mattes from backgrounds to tires using the roto node. You’ll start with the fire and proceed with adding smoke and detailed effects. This will guide your decisions on what type of flames to place when compositing. The artist should have a clear idea of what shape to use and the behavior of the fire. The author discusses the importance of using references before starting the project too. So this super fun tutorial lets you set a car on fire. Not only will you save your team from a logistical nightmare, but you’ll also keep your crew safe. One of the cost-savings for performing visual effects rather than practical effects is creating fire. To jumpstart your compositing journey we’ve compiled the best beginner tutorials that show what Nuke offers from simple green-screen keying to a complicated 3D camera projection and so much more. ![]() The base version costs as much as $5000.įortunately Foundry offers a non-commercial version which you are free to work with and it’s perfect to learning. If you watch any blockbuster film with heavy visual effects, chances are you will see Nuke at work in one form or another.įor those starting out Nuke can be tough to learn and really pricey. But Foundry’s Nuke still remains the standard. In terms of compositing software, Adobe After Effects is OK and Black Magic Design Fusion is catching up. But ultimately what sells a scene is solid compositing where all the visual elements come together as if they’re one cohesive composition.

To demonstrate that this statement is true, Example 15-1 shows how a titration curve can be constructed for a solution containing roughly equal concentrations of HCl and HA, where HA is a weak acid with a dissociation constant of 10 24. Each of the components in a mixture containing a strong acid and a weak acid (or a strong base and a weak base) can be determined provided that the concentrations of the two are of the same order of magnitude and that the dissociation constant for the weak acid or base is somewhat less than about 10 24. For more than one equilibrium, chemical reactions and algebraic equations are required to describe the characteristics of any of these systems. We define complex systems as solutions made up of (1) two acids or two bases of different strengths, (2) an acid or a base that has two or more acidic or basic functional groups, or (3) an amphiprotic substance, which is capable of acting as both an acid and a base. I n this chapter, we describe methods for treating complex acid/base systems, including the calculation of titration curves. ![]() Calculations of pH and of titration curves are also described. The pH of human blood is controlled to be within the range of 7.35 to 7.45, primarily by the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer system: CO 2 (g) 1 H 2 O(l) 8 H 2 CO 3 (aq) H 2 CO 3 (aq) 1 H 2 O(l) 8 H 3 O 1 (aq) 1 HCO 3 2 (aq) This chapter describes polyfunctional acid and base systems including buffer solutions. Shown here is a scanning electron micrograph of red blood cells travel-ing through an artery. The human body contains a complicated system of buffers within cells and within bodily fluids, such as human blood. Polyfunctional acids and bases play important roles in many chemical and biological systems. |
