Karen carpenter last photo12/25/2023 While Karen assumed he had his own money - he drove flash cars - it became apparent he was broke. When she told her mother, Agnes said she would do "no such thing" and ordered her to go through with the wedding because friends and family were travelling especially for it and it had already been paid for. He offered to have the operation reversed but Karen decided to call off the wedding. Tom had had a vasectomy before he had met her and had neglected to tell her, despite her wishes to have children as soon as possible. This set off alarm bells for Karen's friends and as the wedding date neared, Karen discovered some devastating news. She even regained some weight - the singer, who was 5ft4in tall, now weighed 7st 6lb.ĭespite the disastrous effect Karen's weight loss had on her periods, she had always wanted children and in 1980 she met a handsome property developer called Tom Burris. This particular occasion got her mother's attention and she nursed Karen. In 1975, Karen was admitted to hospital, physically and emotionally exhausted from two years on the road and years of extreme dieting. They thought psychiatrists were for crazy people. Sherwin Bash also confronted Karen's parents about her weight but they again took the stance that it was private family business. One friend read an article in a copy of Reader's Digest and passed it on to Karen's mother but as far as she could tell, Agnes never showed it to Karen. They thought it could be cured by eating. People were not aware of how to deal with it. Karen was always a strong character when it came to getting others to face up to their problems (not least when her brother Richard suffered a Quaaludes addiction) but she refused to admit that her weight loss was anything more than stress-related.Īt restaurants, Karen pushed her food around her plate or urged her friends at the table to try her meal, stealthily getting rid of her food whilst giving the impression she was enjoying her meal so much she wanted others to try it too.Īnorexia was a new disease and certainly not one with the high profile it has today. But unfortunately she didn't stop there.įriends were at a loss as to what to do. She lost 20lbs and "looked fabulous", said a sister of an old boyfriend. She fired her trainer and took her own extreme measures. She had put on weight and didn't look good in her stage outfit so she hired a personal trainer who put her on a carbohydrate-based diet. She had been a chubby teenager and in 1973, she saw a photo of herself that prompted her to take action. In Little Girl Blue, Karen's disorder is described as having started out innocently enough, when she wanted to lose a few pounds after leaving high school. At Karen's worst, her family insisted she had no emotional problems and that her 'overdieting' was something they could sort out by themselves. Schmidt spoke to hundreds of friends and colleagues when writing Little Girl Blue and the picture that emerges of the Carpenter family is one of a controlling matriarch concerned with outward appearances.Īgnes is portrayed as stressed and uptight and was known among Karen and Richard's musical acquaintances as the dragon lady. Karen was adored by millions, her circle of friends loved her dearly but it was her mother's love she never received. Now a new book by Randy Schmidt reveals the emotional problems at the core of Karen's eating disorder, her relationship with her mother and Agnes's inability to show the love and affection that Karen so desperately craved. Anything that reflected badly on the family was excised. Karen's mother Agnes and brother Richard insisted on scenes being rewritten as they were being filmed. In the 1989 CBS film The Karen Carpenter Story, screenwriter Barry Morrow was blocked at every turn from telling the true story of Karen's desperate desire for her mother's affection. Today, an estimated 200,000 people suffer from eating disorders in Ireland.įor years, biographers and filmmakers tried to tell the Karen Carpenter story but were thwarted by a family who were both grieving the loss of their daughter and very controlling about how they were viewed. In those days, eating disorders like anorexia were little-heard of and even less understood. Together, they sold 100 million records and had 17 hits before Karen's shocking death from anorexia at the age of 32 in 1982. Karen Carpenter was the instantly recognisable smooth voice of the wholesome 1970s brother-sister band, The Carpenters.

Nature manuscript tracking12/25/2023 I was still Marius, no matter what had been done to me. I could not realize that I was host to an alien entity. "I revolted against all of it because if I was anything, I was an individual, a particular being, with a strong sense of my own rights and prerogatives. I leapt over the wall and stood alone listening in the empty unpaved street. "My heart was knocking in me uncontrollably. I put my hands out in front of me and tried not to feel mortal fear of the blackness in which I was as blind as an ordinary man. "And he like a stone sentinel in a royal tomb blocked my path. But I wasn't above thinking about it and letting him - if he was the one in the doorway - hear these thoughts. I would say, `So you've come out of loneliness and disillusionment and now you want to tell me more, do you? Why don't you go back and sit in silence to wound your wraithlike companions, the brotherhood of the cinders?' Of course I wouldn't say such a thing to him. And then I would have the upper hand with the Elder. To see this person I had but to turn my head. An immense force emanated from her, an invisible and commanding sense of her presence, her occupation of this small and insignificant room. And not merely a woman, but a magnificent bronze-skinned Egyptian woman as artfully bejeweled and dressed as the old queens, in fine pleated linen, with her black hair down to her shoulders and braided with strands of gold. "And slowly I turned my eyes in the direction of the door, and it was a woman I saw standing there. I spent the next few nights feasting on blood until my miserable thoughts were drowned in it, and then in the early hours I roamed the great library of Alexandria, reading as I had always done. "But I didn't return to the underground temple. And do the very thing the Elder had threatened, sink them so deep into the earth that no mortal could ever find them and expose them to the light. "Now what remained? Go back to the Elder and find out where he had put the Mother and the Father.

He also shares some traits with a Vectrex.īMO is a medium-sized teal/blue-green gaming device, sometimes appearing with one or two controllers attached to them. Earlier voice actors for the character included Dee Bradley Baker (voice of Cinnamon Bun) and Thurop Van Orman (voice of the Tree Witch).īMO looks like a Macintosh computer with Game Boy Color buttons and Atari 2600 controllers. As a result, BMO speaks with a Korean accent. īMO's voice was originally to be similar to a computer-synthesized voice, but as a result of a suggestion from Ward, Niki Yang's natural voice (who also voiced Lady Rainicorn) with some adjustments became the voice of BMO. However, after Adventure Time got picked up, Raye was redesigned and became BMO. When Patrick McHale was preparing a short animation for Cartoon Network, he had a robot character named "Raye" (or "R.A.Y.E.") for that purpose, which Pendleton Ward and McHale both loved. BMO is characterized as a loyal, trusting and helpful robot who is protective of Finn and Jake. He makes his appearance in the title scene of the Theme Song of every episode of Adventure Time (excluding the Stakes and Elements miniseries, which have their own theme songs, and the theme song of " Come Along with Me") just as Finn and Jake pound their fists together.

Contour lines in art example12/24/2023 Today, comics, cartoons, manga, and anime, which now incorporate both hand-drawn and computer-generated lines, carry on the tradition of emphasizing contour lines. In works by Edgar Degas, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Egon Schiele, the contour line shows its mutability, becoming sinuous, angular, heavy, faint-sometimes all within the same work. Japanese Ukiyo-e prints, with their strong emphasis on flat planes of color delineated by dark lines, such as those by Kitagawa Utamaro, influenced the drawings and prints of European artists in the 18th and 19th centuries these artists played with contour lines to create expressionistic visions of the human body, reflecting their interest in motion, mood, and subjective forms. Where are contour lines used Contour lines are lines drawn on a map connecting points of equal elevation, meaning if you physically followed a contour line, elevation would remain constant. A reliance on contour line shaped the style of Ancient Greek red figure vases, while figure studies from the Renaissance, such as those of Michelangelo Buonarroti and Leonardo da Vinci, reveal clearly defined lines and naturalistic depictions of the human figure. A fundamental basis of drawing, contour lines are usually the first technique children adopt to draw people, houses, and trees. A simple contour line can create a form with minimal embellishment while allowing for a range of line quality. A fundamental basis of drawing, contour lines are usually the first technique children adopt to draw people, houses, and trees. St_intersects(.A contour line defines the outline of a form, as well as interior structure, without the use of shading. # this syntax used as recommended by this answer Then, when we filter to keep only the lines which intersect the site (with a buffer width of 100), only a small section of the expected contour line is returned (red section of line, I assume reflective of the 100 buffer width). # Simple feature collection with 394 features and 1 field Unexpectedly this returns 394 features from looking at the figure I would expect approximately 15 separate lines. So, I have split the contours_sf MULTILINESTRING into individual lines using ngeo::st_segments() (I couldn't find any sf way to do this, but am open to using alternative methods, especially if this is the problem). # Simple feature collection with 1 feature and 1 field A contour drawing is done when the artist looks intently at the EDGES of. I assume all lines are returned because they appear to be a single MULTILINESTRING sf object. Put simply, a contour line drawing is an outline drawing, that uses no shading. St_intersects(., site_sf %>% st_buffer(100), sparse = FALSE) But, this returns all of the contour lines. If you were to walk the path of a contour line in real life, you would remain at the same elevation the whole hike, never traveling up or down. On stage: the miser, Assteas, -350, From the collection of: Altes Museum, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin The implied line on this vase is the figures on the far left and far right side. If you trace the length of a line with your finger, each point you touch is the same height above sea level. Contour drawing is an art technique in which the artist sketches the style of the subject by drawing lines that result in a drawing that is essentially an. Then we use st_intersects to find the lines that intersect the site (with a buffer width of 100 to ensure it touches the line). Put simply, contour lines mark points of equal elevation on a map. # plot the contour lines and sample site - using sf and ggplot # plot the site and new contour lines (approx elevation 326) RasterToContour(levels = site_elevation) %>% # find elevation of sample site, and extract contour lines Example data from ?rasterToContour library(raster) RasterToContour appears to work well and plots nicely, but when investigated it appears the contour lines are broken up into irregular segments. I am trying to extract contour lines from a raster object using the raster package in R.

Adobe indesign uses12/24/2023 It loops through the three styles automatically, until the entire list is formatted. Once set up, select the entire list, right click BookTitle and choose Apply “BookTitle” then Next Style. Note that the third style, Downloads, has the Next Style set to the first style, Title. The quickest way to format a long list like this is to set up the three styles with the Next Style assigned as follows: The next example is a list that repeats three styles-book title, the author and the number of downloads. We can even set up a loop for repeating formatting. The next example has four styles set up, and I can assign them all at one time by right clicking ChapNum and selecting Apply “ChapNum” and then Next Style. We certainly aren’t limited to two styles. The end result is the same: InDesign assigns ChapNum to the first paragraph, and Title to the second. Using the previous example-where a chapter number is always followed by a title, and the chapter number definition has the Next Style set to the title style-I can select both paragraphs, then right+click the chapter number style and choose Apply “ChapNum” then Next Style. Next Style can also be assigned to existing text using the context menu in the Paragraph Styles panel. Now I can just type in the title content. The new paragraph will be automatically styled as Title. Once set up, after I type a paragraph styled as a ChapNum, I simply press Enter or Return to start a new paragraph. In the example below, I set the Next Style attribute to Title in my ChapNum style definition. Let’s say that a title always follows a chapter number in my document. The first example will how you how to apply styles as you type. It can be used to automatically apply styles in a variety of ways. The Next Style attribute is little-understood property of a paragraph style.

Anytime fitness guest pass cost12/24/2023 Be careful with this step, as there’s no way to change account types after you create your file. Once the import is done, you’ll get a window that asks you to verify the account types. NOTE: If you’ve been using Quicken Essentials for Mac, you’re out of luck, as it doesn’t support QIF export. Once again, you may need to wait patiently at this step – it really depends on how much data you’re dealing with. When it comes up, tell it that you want to import from Quicken for Mac and then simply drag-and-drop your QIF into the window. The next step is to install and launch iBank. This isn’t a huge deal, as most of our investments either have ticker symbols or are tracked as dollar-denominated investment – click through for more details on how I track CDs and Lending Club investments. In my case, this took a few minutes as I have a ton of data – when all was said and done, I wound up with a 1.8 Mb text file.Īlso note that Quicken is unable to export the price history for securities without a ticker symbol. In Quicken 2007, you can export to a QIF file by going to File > Export > To QIF. This is one of several data formats that Intuit has developed and then abandoned over the years, and it’s the preferred format for importing into iBank. Okay, back to the topic at hand… Getting your data out of Quickenįor starters, I had to export my data from Quicken into a QIF (Quicken Interchange Format) file. That should give you more than enough time to decide whether or not you like it – and if you do, simply register your copy and keep on using it. While the good folks at IGG Software were kind enough to provide me with a review copy, iBank comes with a 30 day free trial that can upgraded to the paid version at any time. I’ll be providing lots of details below, but the executive summary is that iBank (currently version 4.2.4) is a great piece of software, though I’m not convinced that it’s right for me. Over the weekend I spent some time migrating my 14+ years of Quicken data from Quicken 2007 to iBank, which was at the top of my list of Quicken alternatives.

Maxon cinema 4d studio update12/23/2023 As soon as you hit save, your file will be updated in After Effects.Īfter Effects also includes Cineware, which is Maxon’s interface for allowing Cinema 4D files to talk to After Effects files. If you already have a C4D file in your comp and you want to make adjustments, simply hit “Edit” and “Edit Original” from the upper navigation with your C4D layer selected to open up the project and make changes. Once that file is saved, it will show up in your project for use. In fact, you can now launch Cinema 4D Lite right inside of After Effects to create new elements for a scene or to adjust a C4D file that has already been incorporated into a comp.īy simply clicking “New” in After Effects and then “MAXON CINEMA 4D file”, you’ll open up the bundled Cinema 4D Lite or your current registered version of the software to begin working. The main camera tools work the same in the various versions as well.Ĭinema 4D Lite lets you model objects or text, add textures, and then import them directly into your After Effects comps for adjustments. Most of the interface features are exactly the same between versions. Here’s a handy comparison chart created by Maxon. When comparing the features of Cinema 4D Lite versus the other versions of C4D, you’ll find that there really is a lot to work with within C4D Lite. It’s a great way for someone new to 3D to get a handle on how the software works. And it doesn’t require you to own another copy of Cinema 4D to make use of it. So, how does this help you if you are an After Effects user? Good question.Ĭinema 4D Lite is a streamlined version of Cinema 4D that comes bundled with After Effects. There are 3D tracking options in Cinema 4D, and just about everything else, you could ask for in a 3D software package. It includes full texturing and lighting controls. With each product offering some set of features up to the Studio version that includes all features of the package.Ĭinema 4D Studio is a full 3D animation package that includes creation tools for modeling objects, scenes, and characters. On the lower end is Cinema 4D Prime at $995, going all the way up to Cinema 4D Studio at $3,695. Now Maxon has several versions of Cinema 4D available based on needs and budgets. Maxon, recognizing these issues, continued over the years to shape their products to work better with After Effects users’ needs. This is where Cinema 4D Lite comes in, but more on that later.Īfter Effects, by design, is not a 3D program, so artists working with both 2D and 3D assets have to find ways to work between various software platforms. Maxon has worked hard to make Cinema 4D the most compatible software for bouncing between 3D and After Effects. Over the years, they refined the product and turned it into an industry-leading software platform for 3D design and animation, especially when it came to designers working with After Effects. German software developers Maxon put out Cinema 4D originally back in 1993. Today we are going to discuss Cinema 4D Lite and how it works with After Effects, but first let’s talk a little about Cinema 4D. On the other hand, if 3D isn’t your bag, and you are more of an After Effects user, you may not be familiar with Maxon’s very popular 3D software. You may not use it, but you’ve probably heard of it. If you are a serious 3D modeler, animator, or compositor, you’ve likely heard of Cinema 4D.
