![]() ![]() China is expected to launch the third and final module on a Long March 5B this fall. The Tiangong space station will ultimately consist of three modules. "It is critical that China and all spacefaring nations and commercial entities act responsibly and transparently in space to ensure the safety, stability, security and long-term sustainability of outer space activities." "It is clear that China is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris," Nelson added. "Spacefaring nations must minimize the risks to people and property on Earth of reentries of space objects and maximize transparency regarding those operations," NASA Administrator Bill Nelson wrote in a statement posted shortly before Tianhe's Long March 5B body came down last year. But the potential for injury and damage to infrastructure on the ground has spurred exploration experts to rebuke China for allowing such space junk falls to occur. None of these incidents caused any reported injuries. 3 Chinese astronauts arrive at Tiangong space station for 6-month stay China lays out big plans for its new Tiangong space station Kessler Syndrome and the space debris problem ![]() In addition, Tiangong 1, a prototype space lab that helped pave the way for the Tiangong space station, crashed back to Earth over the Pacific Ocean in April 2018. The second Long March 5B reentered over the Indian Ocean in May 2021, 10 days after launching Tiangong's core module, which is known as Tianhe. About a week later, a Long March 5B body came down in an uncontrolled manner off Africa's west coast, apparently dumping some debris in the nation of Ivory Coast. ![]() (The rocket has now flown a total of three missions.) The rocket debuted on May 5, 2020. We saw such undirected dives on the two previous Long March 5B missions. But the Long March 5B core reaches orbit along with its payload, setting up an uncontrolled crash back to Earth, caused by atmospheric drag, in the not-too-distant future. The core stages of most orbital-class rockets are designed to come down shortly after liftoff, steered safely into the sea or over sparsely populated sections of terra firma - or to make powered, vertical landings to enable reuse, as SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy first stages do. "In this case, we would expect about five to nine metric tons. "The general rule of thumb is that 20-40% of the mass of a large object will reach the ground, but the exact number depends on the design of the object," The Aerospace Corporation wrote in an explainer about the impending rocket fall. ![]()

A higher quality version of his model was used in some promotional material, and he even became playable in a way via the Boss Mode. Ironically, the Zombot was also planned to appear as a Garden Ops boss in the sequel, but was cut there as well. The game's sequel, Garden Warfare 2, also features a Zombot as the end boss of the Zombopolis stage.

Released in AU: February 27, 2014 (Xbox One & Xbox 360), August 21, 2014 (PlayStation 3 & PlayStation 4) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With her thorough grounding of classical dancing, she became the first heroine who could dance like a dream and set a new bench mark which made any actress entering the industry to have dancing skills. Unknowingly and without any predetermined agenda not only did Vyjayanthimala become a national heroine because of all the three debut films in different languages becoming super-hits, she ended up revolutionizing the image of the Hindi film heroine in a major way. So impressed were they with the 13-year-old girl’s stunning performance that they signed her for their Tamil film Vaazhkai. As luck would have it the makers of the film who were on the lookout for a fresh young face to be launched in their new film happened to spot the young Vyjayanthimala performing Bharatanatyam dance during a school function. Interestingly Vyjayanthimala was the heroine in all the three versions. She made her debut directly as a heroine and was catapulted to fame from her first film itself.īahar (Spring) was originally made in Tamil in 1949 as Vaazhkai, (Life) followed by its Telugu version Jeevitham (Life) in 1950 and the success of these two films made AVM’s Meiyaapan venture into making its Hindi version as well, in 1951. Vyjayanthimala, who was the daughter of a popular star of Tamil cinema Vasundhara Devi (who herself was a good dancer and singer), did not go through the process of becoming a child artiste. Many heroines of that era like the famous trio of Meena Kumari, Madhubala and Nargis started their career as child artistes and had to resort to working in films from a very young age to help provide for their family. The fact that Vyjayanthimala made her mark with a distinct identity amidst these highly talented actresses spoke volumes of her scintillating screen presence and that too in her debut film itself! The year 1951 is remembered for several landmark films like the Raj Kapoor Nargis starrer Awara, Dev Anand- Gita Bali starrer Baazi, Ashok Kumar’s 1 st double role film Afsana, Nargis- Dilip Kumar-Ashok Kumar love triangle Deedar, the Bhagwan-Geeta Bali superhit film Albela, the Dilip Kumar-Madhubala romantic film Tarana, etc. The man playing harmonium in the song is Shyam Kapoor, who was Guru Dutt’s assistant director in many films. A notable aspect about the song was that it was shot in a single day which proves how quick Sheila Vaz must have been to pick up the steps. The location of the song is the famous Worli Sea-face in Mumbai, which now has undergone so much of a face change. The song was choreographed by none other than Zora Sehgal who was also a mentor to Guru Dutt when he started out as a choreographer. The grace and fluidity of her movements make the song endearing and thoroughly enjoyable. Though the heroine of the film was Shakila who is trying to be wooed by the hero Dev Anand in this song, it is Sheila Vaz’s smiling face which has remained embedded in our memory all these years whenever we think of the song. ![]() This blog is a small tribute to this lovely dancer whose name will always be etched in the pages of Hindi cinema’s Golden Era. But she was always happy to know that her songs are played even today on YouTube and there are people who still remember her. Sheila Vaz quit the film world in 1960 when she got married to director Ramesh Lakhanpal after which she changed her name to Rama Lakhanpal and lived a life away from the arc lights with her family. Some of her dance clips are also missing and only audio is there. Probably the documentation of such dancers has not been done accurately and we have to rely on what is available on the internet. ![]() Though many articles state that the 1954 film Mayur Pankh was the first film she signed, I also came across a song from a 1952 film Maa, which had her dance number. She learnt dancing from a young age but faced a lot of opposition from her family when she wanted to enter films. Her family hailed from Goa and she was born in 1934 and grew up in Dadar, Mumbai. Many like Sheila Vaz have been associated with lovely songs and their faces are imprinted in our minds by association with these songs. Not many would probably know her by name because those days the dancers’ names did not always appear in the film credits but that does not take away the contribution or hard work of these dancers to make each song stand out. She worked for a short period of about eight years but was fortunate to have had some memorable songs picturized on her. I came across this news item only yesterday and realized how her graceful dancing steps light up our hearts even today when we watch and listen to her iconic songs on YouTube. Dancer Sheila Vaz (also known as Sheela Vaz) bid adieu to this world on 29 th June, 2022. ![]() ![]() ![]() I like to get white walls to really be white, so I separated the ‘Walls pass’ with Cryptomatte and desaturated them in Affinity Photo and applied a LUT I like. I always use a Color Balance node to do some sort of color grading after rendering, adjust contrast, and so on. Usually, I use this setup in the Compositor as it seems to get more details to show up after denoising. I set the Color Management to Filmic: Very High Contrast, and under Use Curves, I raised the white level to get something like Highlight Compress from other Rendering engines. I really tried to keep post-processing simple. For interior lights, starting with the ceiling ones, I added a blackbody node with a value of 4000K for the other ones I used a value of 3000K. I really don’t like the blue-ish light from the default world or the yellow-ish from the sun, so I set them to be ‘black and white’ lighting. The “world light” is just a Sun+Sky desaturated. Shading and lightingįor the pendants, I used a thing I discovered by accident to give a subtle fresnel effect: link the incoming socket of the Geometry node to the Translucent normal socket (weird? Yes. I used a PBR texture whenever possible, and, when it was not possible, used a “fake” PBR with a color ramp converter for bump and roughness map. I used a Principled BSDF for almost all the materials except for glass and a few others in the scene. I made my materials as simple as possible. I separated all assets used in the project folder so I wouldn’t waste time in doubt of what to use when I was importing the assets. Does anyone know the steps as to combining normal maps in Affinity Photo Or combining normal maps with other maps, like bump maps The image below shows a person combining normal maps using layer adjustments in Photoshop. By doing so, I could focus my attention on shading and lighting. Then I designed the floor plan in AutoCAD and brought it to Blender and started the 3D process.Īfter modeling the walls, I started modeling some basic furniture.Īnd then I used premade assets from my library and a few other sources. While I was updating my new portfolio, I decided to make a bedroom from scratch based on a few references from Pinterest and Instagram that I carefully selected as inspiration. Also, it was not heavy on the machine that I had at the time and it’s free (heh). I'm a self-taught Blender user that started in the 3D world after learning AutoCAD and Revit in my studies for my Civil Engineering bachelor’s degree back in 2015.Īs Revit offered only a very basic rendering, one thing that made me interested in Blender and not 3ds Max at the time was the interactive rendering mode in the viewport with the Cycles render engine. I’m currently working in an architecture office here in my hometown and freelancing when possible. ![]() ![]() A line spectrum is a series of lines that represent the different energy levels of the an atom. The available energy of excitation is somewhat less in the second case. The Balmer Rydberg equation explains the line spectrum of hydrogen. A metal hydride may first be formed and this in a two body collision with a hydrogen atom may react to give H 2 and an excited metal atom. In this unit we will examine several different atomic spectra. A three body collision of two hydrogen atoms and a metal atom may result in recombination of the hydrogen and excitation of the metal atom. These characteristic sets of frequencies for different atoms are known as atomic spectra. For the Atomic Spectra review, we are calculating the Rydberg equation for various electron transitions for the Hydrogen atom. Theory of excitation of spectra by atomic hydrogen.-Two possibilities are suggested. Caesium, magnesium, thallium and zinc gave no line spectra. Mercury gave the complete hydride spectrum and faint emission of λ 2537. ![]() Potassium showed the first resonance doublet faintly. Attempts to develop a theoretical understanding of the states of the hydrogen atom have been important to the history of quantum mechanics, since all other atoms can be roughly. Sodium and cadmium gave strong emission of their first resonance lines and no other lines. Hydrogen-like atoms are those atoms with only one electron remaining, regardless of the number of protons in the nucleus. Atomic spectroscopy shows that there is a discrete infinite set of states in which a hydrogen (or any) atom can exist, contrary to the predictions of classical physics. Spectroscopic excitation of Na, K, Cs, Mg, Cd, Zn, Hg, Tl vapors by atomic hydrogen.-Hydrogen from a Wood discharge tube flowed into a tube containing metal vapor and the spectrum emitted by the mixture was observed. ![]() ![]() ![]() When you buy used Cat equipment from Foley, Inc., you’ll gain these benefits for a lower cost: Cat equipment is reliable and versatile for a low cost of ownership. is the only authorized Cat dealer in our service area, so we are your local source for Cat equipment and value-added services.

Clara Bow is often given credit as being the inspiration for Boop, though Fleischer told his artists that he wanted a caricature of singer Helen Kane, who performed in a style shared by many performers of the day–Kane was also the one who sued Fleischer over the signature "Boop Oop a Doop" line. ![]() Inspired by a popular performing style, but not by any one specific person, the character was originally created as an anthropomorphic French poodle.
