The quality of the tape, while not as good as when new and certainly not as good as the long lost original tape, was still quite salvageable. What else does one need in a film?” asks Siddharth.On July 30 th, 2016, a copy of the " Long Lost VHS tape of Cirkus at the Casablanca" was rediscovered. It’s a silent film which also features Vijay Sethupathi, Aditi Rao Hydari and Arvind Swamy. On the other hand, Gandhi Talks is a very interesting film by director Kishor Belekar. ![]() “Cirkus is a family entertainer where I play a fun character. He will soon be working with Rohit Shetty and Ranveer Singh again in Cirkus, and he has a silent film titled Gandhi Talks set to release next year. Siddharth’s tryst with big-budget Hindi films continued with special appearances in Radhe and Sooryavanshi. All I did was to give my best to whatever I did and just enjoyed the moment,” he says. These were not things that I had planned. With Simmba of course came wider recognition. “Aditya Sarpotdar, Kshitij Patwardhan, Riteish Deshmukh- these people believed in me and gave me an opportunity in Faster Fene. Then came Simmba, which reunited Siddharth with his Golmaal director Rohit Shetty and had him sharing the screen with Ranveer Singh. In 2017, things changed for Siddharth with the release of Faster Fene. So, to anyone who may be going through such a phase right now, I want to say that stay put and be strong, this too shall pass,” shares the Simmba actor. In the process, I left the baggage from Siddharth Jadhav 1.0 behind because had I carried that with me, I would’ve drowned. That helped me dive from that stuck boat and swim to the shore. But there’s so much work that you can do- work on yourself, meet people, write, develop your skills. He said that we only think that nothing is happening because there’s no work to do. But my brother, Dr Lavesh Jadhav, told me something that I haven’t stopped following till date. It was like being stuck on a boat in the middle of the lake. I didn’t know what to do and life seemed to have stopped at one point. These four years were an extremely low phase for me. “Although I was doing a play, Gela Udat, and a TV show, I was devastated that my films weren’t working. The actor who is otherwise full of energy went through a low phase between 20. ![]() ‘Went through a very low phase from 2013-17'ĭespite his best efforts, many of Siddharth’s hatke films didn’t work at the box office. I consider myself fortunate to have worked with people who went beyond the stereotype that I had come to be associated with.” He was also someone who told me that I had the talent of making people laugh when I laughed, and cry when I cried. Credit for this goes to the directors and writers who thought of me for these roles, especially Mahesh Manjrekar sir who was among the first people to recognise and execute a different side of mine on the big screen. I am fortunate that people accepted my serious roles as nicely as they did my comic ones. ![]() ![]() People identify me as a comic actor, and I too know that comedy is my forte. Ask him what changed, and he replies, “As a person nothing changed drastically. But he gradually branched out into different roles with films like Me Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy, Razzakar, Dream Mall etc. Throughout his initial years in Marathi cinema, Siddharth created a name for himself among the list of comic actors in the industry. In a chat with us, the actor, who has been shaking up our social media feeds as much with his style as with his new projects, speaks to us about breaking the comedy stereotype, the new phase and the ups and downs in his career. On screen, he’s called ‘energy bomb’ and ‘ Ranveer Singh of the Marathi industry’ but there's another side to Siddharth Jadhav.

![]() even though no complete example was then known. ![]() James Welu had already surmised that the wall map appearing in Jan Vermeer’s ‘Painter in his Studio’ had been issued with twenty small town views on the left and right sides. the story of Schilder’s find in Skokloster Castle in Sweden of the most complete example of Visscher’s wall map of the Seventeen Provinces is the most dramatic. Of the many examples of the painstaking detective work on which the success of this volume is based. It is also clear from this inventory that quite large stocks of maps were maintained (as many as 123 impressions from one plate were found in the first inventory) The second contains an entry for twelve plates (platen) of a map of Rome and this possibly refers to the plates for the Antonio Tempesta view of Rome. For instance, a press called a ‘cunst pars’ (art press or roller press) and ‘Drucklappen’ (probably felts laid over the paper and copper plate as they passed through the roller press) are mentioned. and sheet maps and religious prints for stock. but of particular interest here are the references to copper plates, printing equipment. ![]() The whole inventory is a rich source of information for Dutch everyday life in the seventeenth-century. and the other made after Magdalena died in 1625. van Deutecom and Magdalena Sebastiaans the widow of Cornelis Cornelisz. 1560-1630) includes a transcription of two inventories, one of 1608 drawn up before the marriage of Jan Jansz.

The extensive use of supporting illustrative material makes the project a veritable iconographic treasure trove: included are comparative details of maps and views, portraits, cartouches, ships, contemporary town views showing centers of the map trade, coverage diagrams showing sheet lines of major man series. It would therefore be a mistake for the reader to assume that this work is about only Dutch maps. Furthermore, other maps -not necessarily produced in the Netherlands – that are precursors of or associated with the main subject of the volumes, are also fully described. Each map is put into its context: cartographic, geographic, iconographic, and historical. However, Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica is far more than an illustrated bibliographical description. Particularly from first-hand accounts from voyages of exploration. There is a full description – with equations – of the mathematical construction and projection of the maps (with help from colleagues at Utrecht), archival and biographical information related to engraving and printing, and extensive narrative on the sources of the geographical content of the maps. The maps are carefully described, many of their main legends translated from Latin into Dutch and English, and the Locations of their known impressions listed. Each volume and its accompanying portfolio of unbound full-sized reproductions is a feast for the eyes. With the publication of Monumenta Cartographica Neerlandica the knowledge and appreciation of Dutch cartography in its Golden Age will be furthered.Īny reference library that has the smallest interest in the history of early maps – or the history of art science, or technology – should subscribe to this series. In this way rare cartographical material will be made more readily accessible to people interested in the subject. Many maps are reproduced in full size facsimiles. The bi-lingual work (Dutch and English) is the result of the author’s investigations carried out during the past 30 years in numerous Dutch and foreign collections. The aim of this series is to present an inventory of rare and significant Dutch maps and charts from the period 15.

More work will need to be done on their system, however, before it could be put to commercial use. Testing of their idea showed it capable of generating 347 watts of power per cubic meter, which they note is approximately 30 times better than other designs geared to reap electricity from waves. Static electricity generated by all of the nanogenerators is then pooled to be tapped and used as a power source The nanogenerators have spring-like coils inside of them with parts that rub up against one another as the device is moved by waves-the touching parts generate static electricity, just like socks in a dryer. Each of the nanogenerators are linked together using a flexible connector. In their approach they built multiple small nanogenerators that float on the surface of the ocean. In this new effort, the researchers are looking at a much larger device, one modeled after the anaconda snake. But thus far, no products based on this approach have made it to market. Other researchers have tried to engineer devices that can create static electricity using other types of movement, such as clothes or a backpack or even socks. In this new effort, the team in China has taken a whole new approach to the problem-using waves to generate static electricity. Animated by Studio Ghibli for Tokuma Shoten and the Nippon Television Network, Ocean Waves first aired on on Nippon TV. Current systems generally involve using wave action to push magnets through coils, which turns out to be bulky and expensive, not to mention inefficient.

However, Naruto's peers emulated their parents' hatred of him, despite not knowing why. Soon, the Third Hokage forbade anyone from mentioning the Nine-Tails, hoping that the younger generation would not blindly hate Naruto as their parents did. However, the majority of Konoha had no knowledge of the circumstances surrounding his birth, and openly ostracized and resented Naruto for containing the beast that devastated the village and took many lives some even viewed Naruto as the Nine-Tails itself. Minato's dying wish that Naruto is regarded as a hero was honored by the very few who could put aside their pain and losses caused by the disaster. Orphaned, Naruto grew up not knowing who his parents were, receiving only his mother's surname, as Hiruzen wanted to protect Naruto from his father's enemies. After telling Naruto how much they loved him, Minato and Kushina succumbed to their wounds from protecting their son from the Nine-Tails and passed away. Since the Nine-Tails' chakra was too immense to seal into an infant, Minato sacrificed his soul to split the fox's chakra in half, sealing the Yin half within himself and the Yang half within Naruto. Returning to Naruto and Kushina's location, Minato realized the only way to stop the Nine-Tails was to seal it within Naruto, believing that his son would someday need the fox's power to defeat Tobi when he returned. Minato saved Kushina and left Naruto in her care before he went to protect the village, eventually defeating Tobi and freeing the Nine-Tails from Tobi's control. With Minato gone, Tobi captured Kushina and released the Nine-Tails from her, using it to devastate Konoha. A masked man, Tobi, tracked down their location, however, killed the midwives and Anbu, and captured Naruto, forcing Minato to quickly rescue him and teleport him to a safe house. The Third Hokage made special arrangements for Minato to preserve Kushina's seal containing the Nine-Tails while she gave birth to Naruto in a remote location, escorted by midwives and Anbu. He was named after the protagonist of Jiraiya's first book, which made the Sannin his godfather. Naruto was born on the night of October 10th to Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. He soon proved to be one of the main factors in winning the Fourth Shinobi World War, leading him to achieve his dream and become the village's Seventh Hokage (七代目火影, Nanadaime Hokage, lit. In the following years, through many hardships and ordeals, he became a capable ninja regarded as a hero both by the villagers, and soon after, the rest of the world, becoming known as the Hero of the Hidden Leaf (木ノ葉隠れの英雄, Konohagakure no Eiyū, Literally meaning: Hero of the Hidden Tree Leaves). After joining Team Kakashi, Naruto worked hard to gain the village's acknowledgment all the while chasing his dream to become Hokage. He became the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tails on the day of his birth - a fate that caused him to be shunned by most of Konoha throughout his childhood. Naruto Uzumaki (うずまきナルト, Uzumaki Naruto) is a Ninja from Konohagakure. ![]() Capcom used their localization team, QLoc, to support the transition to console and managing features like leaderboards and replay saving. Īfter about a year of its successful release on Microsoft Windows, Capcom talked to Hitbox about porting the title to consoles. The money was used by the four-person Hitbox team to develop the game over about one and a half years. ĭustforce won the $100,000 Grand Prize at indiePub Games' Third Independent Game Developers Competition at the 2010 Game Developers Conference Online. He has cited Dragon Ball Z as an influence in terms of design aesthetic stating that "they have great poses and also good shapes". In selecting the art style Nye opted for a simplistic style that would showcase the various frames of animation. Melee was an influence to the team citing its easy pick up and play approach while still maintaining a level of depth for experienced players. Hitbox has also stated that the game Super Smash Bros. He credits the games N and Nikujin as inspirations for the project. In designing the game Nye wanted to create an acrobatic 2D platformer.

Player replays are stored online with the leaderboards, allowing other players to review how top scorers were able to complete various levels. The combo meter only stays active for a short period of time, but resets for each patch cleaned up thus by hitting many patches in a row quickly, the player can build up the combo multiplier and drastically increase their score. The player scores a fixed number of points for every patch of filth that is cleaned up multiplied by their current combo meter, and increases their current combo meter by 1. The player is also rated on a scoring system and ranked on a global leaderboard. Completing a level with an "S" grade in both finesse and completion provides the player with one of three colored keys to unlock certain levels in the overworld. The ratings, evaluated separately, are based on a letter-grade scale, with "D" through "A" reflecting increasingly better performances, and an "S" grade, representing a perfect combo, or full completion. Finesse is determined by the combo meter, which is reset if the player takes a hit or proceeds too slowly, and completion is determined by the amount of debris and enemies cleaned. Upon completing a level, the player is ranked based on "finesse" and completion. Should the character run into any hazards such as pits or spikes on the level, the player will have to resume the run from a previous checkpoint. The end goal of a level typically requires reaching a final area and defeating foes waiting there. The player can also initiate regular and super-attacks against filth-covered creatures to restore them to normal. Along the way, the character will automatically sweep up any debris on the walls or floors. Within the level, the player must maneuver their character to the end goal using acrobatic tricks such as double jumps, wall jumps, mid-air dashes, and clinging to the ceiling. The player controls an agile sweeper as they clear away leaves and defeat creatures across the landscape.Īfter the player selects a level, they pick one of the four Dustforce members, who all share the same moves but have slightly different statistics, such as jumping height. ![]() At the same time, a shadowy menace stalks Asgard, eluding capture despite Thor’s best efforts.

I love the Open Source concept and I helped already developing by testing beta releases or submitting bugfixes. I love it to add/edit data to webtrees directly on a wedding or a birthday. It is also multilingual, supports themes and has features for moderation. I can manage and share all sources by uploading them directly to webtrees, so every participant can check the data and sources. Webtrees has great features for collaborative work and export. Now I can maintain this big tree online with 20 other participants. With webtrees I could import multiple maintained GEDCOM files and merge them to one big tree. I’ve changed from Ahnenblatt to Webtrees 6 years ago and I love it. ** data protection for deceased persons can be set according to the local civil status lawīiggest Pro: very good GEDCOM support active community is very helpful ![]() ** definition of protection rules at the level of family trees, record types, and granular for individual data records ** control which users are allowed to see and edit which information, with a role concept (visitors, members, administrators) * sophisticated concept for data protection and data security * administration of genealogical research tasks * support of location data records and GOV through add-on modules * management of sources, archives, shared notes, media records * good usability in different browsers on a wide variety of devices (including tablets and smartphones) * good usability even with large amounts of data * parallel installation of several family trees Last and not least webtrees is a totally free application and supported by a strong open source community of developers.īiggest Pro: Online Open Source collaborative genealogy application with ton of features and strong community of developers.īiggest Con: Can’t think of any con about webtrees. I just can’t praise this application enough based on my experience having used several different genealogy application in the past. The list of features just goes on and in addition you can even increase them with add-on custom modules and themes which are available for download.įinally I would like to add that webtrees developers are constantly making improvements to the solution with added features and fixes to meet the wishes from the ever increasing community of webtrees users today. Importing and exporting GEDCOM data is an easy task and managing GEDCOM data online by adding, modifying, merging or repairing data is just few of it’s features as well as many available options for displaying or reporting the data. It fully supports the GEDCOM standard and is even able to handle non standard tags. Better than expected.Īfter several months of using webtrees genealogy open source application I can highly recommend this solution for geneology enthusiast for its extensive features and how customisable it is as well as providing an easy online collaboration with other relatives in establishing family trees even internationally because you can choose from over 60 languages. Excellent forum help available.īiggest Con: It was intimidating getting started but I am glad I did. Greg Roach (the author of webtrees) runs a dedicated web server and will provide a webtrees server install and maintenance (backups, maintenance, etc.) for a very reasonable price, there is no reason to not leave ancestry now if you have been looking for a way out.īiggest Pro: Privacy if you want, or not. If you are not comfortable setting up website software don’t worry, there is a solution for that. The webtrees forum is very friendly and helpful to all people at different levels of web and genealogy experience, if you are looking for a better way then you have found it right here with webtrees. Webtrees takes some learning but is logically set up and lets you control all aspects of your genealogy web presence, each piece of media can have privacy restrictions, or none at all, your choice. Free at last! Even though I had to use Roots Magic as a middle man to get the media, it was well worth it. Webtrees fit the bill, I downloaded our ancestry GEDCOM and 6GB of MEDIA from ancestry to >Roots Magic< (roots magic is the only genealogy program that does that from ancestry) then exported the gedcom from roots magic, then uploaded and imported the gedcom and media to webtrees. I was looking for a way to show our family genealogy on the web both publicly and privatly without being bullied by a big corporation.

Sure, though it’s arguable that with something that in a type of poem that relies so strictly on form, the point is not necessarily to be organic. I guess this means that Shakespeare was pretty crafty. ![]() Definitely not perfect iambic pentameter, but interestingly, I think that in each case where the meter scans differently, the places where the stress falls on the syllables emphasizes the meaning of the line. So long/ lives this,/ and this/ gives life/ to thee. So long/ as men/ can breathe,/ or eyes/ can see, ![]() When in/ e tern/ al lines/ to time/ thou grow’st, I’m a little iffy about this one, because just as someone who’s done a fair share of poetry reading out loud, I wouldn’t normally read two continuous lines that begin with the same word with the same vocal pattern, but in the end, I think it scans. Nor shall/ death brag/ thou wan/ der’st in/ his shade, Nor lose/ pos sess/ ion of/ that fair/ thou ow’st, I think I’ve read it too much to come to a strong conclusion, so I’m calling it iambic.Īnd ev/ ery fair/ from fair/ some time/ de clines,īy chance,/ or na/ ture’s chang/ ing course/ un trimmed:īut thy/ e ter/ nal sum/ mer shall/ not fade, I keep debating with myself as to whether or not the third foot of this line is a spondee or an iamb. Some time/ too hot/ the eye/ of heav/ en shines,Īnd of/ ten is/ his gold/ com plex/ ion dimmed, Rough winds/ do shake/ the dar/ ling buds/ of May,Īnd sum/ mer’s lease/ hath all/ too short/ a date: The last foot reads to me like a pyrrhic (two unstressed syllables in a row), though it’s said that pyrrhics usually only exist in a spondee/pyrrhic pattern, so technically, I guess the stress can fall on the final syllable of the last foot, but reading it that way sounds kind of fake and forced to me. Thou art/ more love/ ly and/ more temp/ erate: Certainly, I can read it as iambic pentameter, but it’s forcing it a little I don’t read the syllables falling naturally into that pattern. So, from a pure scansion standpoint, this line is a mess. I came up with Spondee/Iamb/Trochee/Iamb/Iamb Right off the bat, the poem doesn’t scan iambic. Shall I/ com pare/ thee to/ a sum/ mer’s day? One of the myths surrounding Shakespeare’s writing is that everything he wrote was in perfect iambic pentameter, especially the sonnets (this particular form is named for him, after all), but does it really work? Based on my own reading of the poem out loud to myself, without paying attention to what the scansion should be, this is how I scanned it: To help clarify my point, I’ll scan Shakespeare’s Sonnet XVIII, which is one of his most famous. ![]() So, for example, if you’re writing a metered line and you’re reading the word “desire” as “ desire” just to make it fit, then you’re forcing the scansion instead of letting it work naturally. If you place the stress on the wrong syllables to make the lines scan, then it’s not working. What I mean is that an iamb is a heartbeat - ba-DUM - and there are many words and phrases that are iambic (oddly enough, the word “iamb” is not one of them - it’s a trochee), and when scanning a line of poetry, the natural rise and fall of the syllables is what counts. (I suppose we have to give the word “amazing” a limited definition in this context.) But I have found since then that when I read metrical writing, I scan things in my head, and if I were to be a stickler, I’d say that there are an awful lot of poems out there that, in terms of scansion, aren’t true sonnets. It was surprisingly difficult, mainly because it’s amazing how often we try to force words to scan the way we think they ought to, instead of using words that fit naturally within the flow. It was a pass/fail assignment - it either was 14 lines of iambic pentameter or it wasn’t. Like many good English majors, I had to study forms of poetic meter in school, and the most telling exercise (I still think about it) was having to write a perfect Elizabethan sonnet. (What can I say? It was a nice break from the usual posting about truly important things like underwear and cramps.) I don’t claim to be an expert on this subject by any stretch of the imagination, even though many long years ago, I wrote an article for LitKicks about villanelles, sonnets and meter, (appropriately titled “Villanelles, Sonnets and Meter”) but it is something that fascinates me. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a post on my blog about metrical poetry, specifically, the line in Romeo and Juliet, “O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?” and how the scansion of the line could support the meaning of the words. |
