![]() ![]() The Start page allows you to quickly jump to one of the most common workbenches, open one of the recent files, or see the latest news from the FreeCAD world. Here is what it looks like for version 0.19: When you start FreeCAD for the first time, you are presented with the Start page. Widely used starting points are the PartDesign Workbench and Part Workbench. You can customize the tools included in each workbench, add tools from other workbenches or even self-created tools, that we call macros. You can switch the current workbench with the workbench selector. A workbench is a collection of tools suited for a specific task, such as working with meshes, or drawing 2D objects, or constrained sketches. The main concept behind the FreeCAD interface is that it is separated into workbenches. The standard menu, which holds basic operations of the program. The workbench selector, where you select the active workbench. The toolbar area, where the toolbars are docked. The status bar, where some messages and tooltips appear. The Python console, where all the commands executed are printed, and where you can enter Python code. The report view (or output window), where messages, warnings and errors are shown. The selection view, which indicates the objects or sub-elements of objects (vertices, edges, faces) that are selected. The property editor (part of the combo view), which allows viewing and modifying properties of the selected objects. The tree view (part of the combo view), showing the hierarchy and construction history of objects in the document it can also display the task panel for active commands. The 3D view, showing the geometrical objects in the document. The main view area, which can contain different tabbed windows, principally the 3D view. As FreeCAD is open-source, you can also grab the source code and compile it yourself. A standalone AppImage executable is also available, which will run on most recent 64-bit Linux systems. FreeCAD is available from the package managers of many other Linux distributions. There are install packages ready for Windows (.msi), Debian and Ubuntu (.deb), openSUSE (.rpm), and Mac OSX. ![]() See the Download page for information on current versions and updates, and the installation instructions for you operating system ( Windows, Linux or Mac). Don't forget this when using FreeCAD if you like it, you can donate and help FreeCAD in various ways, such as writing documentation and making translations.įirst of all, download and install FreeCAD. Like all free software projects, FreeCAD depends on its community to grow, gain features, and fix bugs. There is a fast-growing community of enthusiastic users who participate in the FreeCAD forum, and you can find many examples of quality projects developed with FreeCAD there. ![]() Capabilities are still missing but it is powerful enough for hobbyist use, and small workshops.

Blonde returns, the song’s slowed-down pace adds a sense of impending doom and the cowbell sounds like a cruel countdown to Officer Nash’s death. Tarantino timed the scene exactly so that the song would be playing on the correct part in the amount of time it took Mr. The juxtaposition between the tranquil exterior sounds and the garish savagery taking place inside is both jarring and disturbing.īlonde enters the warehouse with a can of gasoline and the sunny song still rings out. The music fades into the distant sounds of children laughing and birds singing when he walks farther away. Blonde outside the warehouse and back inside in one continuous shot. He holds the officer’s severed ear and jokingly speaks into it, “Can you hear that?” The bopping rhythms of the song makes this act of brutality even more unsettling. When Madsen enters the frame, we see his grisly handiwork. Tarantino holds on the warehouse walls while we hear the officer’s screams off-screen. Blonde slashes the Officer’s face then grabs him as the camera pans left. Blonde’s preening, unmercifully delaying officer’s torture. He wonders what he can do to get out of this situation. He truly has “the feeling that something ain’t right.” The officer is stuck between the clowns and jokers, or criminals, he has to defend himself from every day. His chilling groan sounds horrifying against the toe-tapping rhythm of the 70s hit. The walls spin behind him like the panicked thoughts running in his head, hinted in the song’s lyrics about being scared. Kirk Baltz projects Officer Nash’s profound terror through only his bulging eyes. Blonde does a little shuffle to the steady opening bass line, prolonging his victim’s fears. After taking a razor out of his shoes he asks, “Do you ever listen to K-Billy’s Super Sounds of the 70s? It’s my personal favourite.” ![]() He tells Officer Nash that it is fruitless for him to pray for a quick death. Blonde (played by the suave Michael Madsen) relishes in torturing his latest victim. Stealers Wheel’s bouncy “Stuck in the Middle with You” lends impish humour to what is otherwise a terrifying scene. The use of pleasant, upbeat music countering a scene of violence is nothing new (seen in American Psycho with “Hip to Be Square” or “Orinoco Flow” in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) but none have executed it as well as Tarantino. Following the last of the gang turning on each other, Pink hides under a ramp until the shooting stops, before re-emerging and running out of the warehouse with the satchel of diamonds.There are countless soundtrack scenes in Quentin Tarantino’s canon, but let’s look at how his debut Reservoir Dogs demonstrated his initial flair for musical moments. Pink, who might be something of a weasel but he at least tries to keep an air of professionalism when things go awry. The only possible survivor is Steve Buscemi's Mr. Reservoir Dogs doesn't end well for the gang, and by the time the end credits roll all but one are definitely dead. Related: Blue's True Fate Revealed (By The Reservoir Dogs Video Game) Even the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack became iconic and was filled with great songs like "Little Green Bag" and "Stuck in the Middle with You." It also demonstrated themes that would recur throughout Tarantino's work, including countless homages to other movies, a non-linear storytelling approach and lots of bloodshed. Reservoir Dogscast Harvey Keitel, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth and even Tarantino himself as the thieves, and it became an instant cult favorite for its quotable dialogue and shocking scenes of violence. ![]() ![]() Suggestions for additional research are provided. They attached more importance to souvenirs, tourism/heritage issues, and to having “new eating experiences”.Implications for operators of “Historaunt” and “Eatertainment” venues are suggested. Historaunt patrons used magazines, movies, and tour guides as informational sources. It attracted more customers, and more tourists. Behavioral and motivational differences were found between patrons of The Restaurant and The Historaunt. All were interested in “good food”, and “value for money”. The response rate was 93%.Respondents from both establishments had comparable demographics. The important difference between the establishments is the historical designation of Mickey's Dining Car (The Historaunt). The survey was given to customers at Mickey's Dining Car and Mickey's Restaurant, two similar operations, owned and operated by Mickey's Diner Inc. The purpose of the study was to obtain an understanding of the restaurant as a heritage attraction.A questionnaire was used to gather data. For these, we coin a new term-“Historaunt”. Yet there is no academic literature on restaurants as historic tourist attractions. restaurants have been studied independently. Often referred to as “Eatertainment”, some examples are “Hard Rock Café”, “Planet Hollywood”, and “Rain Forest Café”.Heritage is a significant part of the travel and tourism industry. They provide not just food and beverages, but experiences. ![]() People traveling away from home have to eat! Restaurants play an important role in tourism. But by then she herself had starred in too many lurid headlines that could not be rewritten to publicize her offscreen life as a model of domestic bliss. She won Photoplays Gold Medal Award in 1953 for her role as singer Jane Froman in With a Song in My Heart, a sentimental success story that momentarily won her fans, but the magazine never displayed her picture on its cover.1 A few years later, Hayward received a third Academy Award nomination for portraying the blowsy, self-destructive, alcoholic singer, Lillian Russell, in I’ll Cry Tomorrow. As a result, Photoplay and Motion Picture published fewer stories about her. Since fan magazines publicized stars in response to a constant polling of its readers, Hayward was not being typecast for popularity. Rather, she was a feisty star who tested the limits of acceptable feminine behavior in a conventional and conformist society that subscribed to domestic ideology. She should have been an inspiration for lower-class readers identifying with her, but she did not represent middle-class femininity, nor did she maintain appearances. Contrasted with the wholesome girl next door living in comfortable suburbia, she was a headstrong, embittered, and volatile redhead from a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn. ![]() ![]() Although Susan Hayward began her movie career in the 1940s, her award-winning performances were in well-known postwar films like With a Song in My Heart (1952), I’ll Cry Tomorrow (1956), and I Want to Live! (1958). ![]() ![]() ![]() Secondly, the Earth’s atmosphere refracts (bends) sunlight. Because the Sun is not a point, and has upper and lower edges, this means that the equinox has a slightly longer day than night. Technically, sunrise starts when the upper edge of the Sun meets the eastern horizon, and sunset ends when the upper edge of the Sun sinks below the western horizon. This seems obvious, but it affects how scientists measure sunrise and sunset. Shutterstock/Dimitrios Karamitrosįirstly, the Sun has a size – it’s not just a point in the sky. The lengths of the day and night aren’t quite the same, and there are two reasons for this.Įarth’s tilt. As it turns out, this is only approximately true. You might think that the lengths of the day and night would be equal during the equinox. This happens twice a year, once in late March and once in late September. When the centre of the Sun’s disc perfectly crosses the equator, astronomers define this as the equinox. READ MORE: 13 fall books that will make you thinkĮarth’s axial tilt also means that our planet’s equator is tilted relative to the plane of its orbit around the Sun – what astronomers call the “plane of the ecliptic”. This is why we have seasons here on Earth. As the Earth spins on its axis and orbits the Sun, the intensity of the sunlight reaching different parts of the Earth’s surface changes. Instead, Earth’s axis is knocked somewhere on its side – the technical name for this is “axial tilt”, and this tilt is responsible for both the seasons and the equinox.

The sights, sounds and even smells make our woodland a magical place at this time of year. I think that there is no better place than a forest in the autumn. Autumn is a time of beauty in nature as well as rest. Leaves on trees are changing colour and starting to fall to the ground.īare trees, departing birds, short days, cold weather and hibernating animals – it’s easy to see why our ancestors regarded the autumn and winter as times associated with death. Many animals will prepare for the winter by migrating or growing thicker coats. The shorter days mean not only more darkness but also more cold weather. It also was a time to mourn the Sun as he departed until the spring.īut what does the autumnal equinox mean for the natural world? The first sign of autumn is the later dawn and the earlier dusk. Mabon marked the end of the harvest and was a time of rest. ![]() This was a place where people would gather to celebrate Mabon, the pagan autumn festival. Stonehenge in Wiltshire is perhaps the most famous. They even built primitive observatories to mark the passage of the Sun through the heavens. One of these two marks the beginning of spring and the other the start of autumn. When we point towards the Sun it’s spring and summer, when we point away it’s autumn and winter, and on the two days a year when we point neither away from nor towards the Sun we get an equinox. It’s an astronomical event caused by the Earth’s tilt. The word equinox means equal night and that’s because on this day, day and night both last for 12 hours. Today is the autumnal equinox – the first day of autumn from an astronomer’s point of view. ![]() ![]() We believe that well-informed and well-adjusted guardians are better able to guide their student(s) to having the best possible BU experience which has a direct impact on student retention.

Some once-demonstration sports, like baseball, have gone on to official Olympic glory. Demonstration sports aren’t always included - there was an initiative to cut down on program bloat by eliminating them in 1972, but they were back 10 years later before being cut again 10 years after that, in 1992. Events from demonstration sports awarded physical medals, but were not part of the official Olympic medal ceremony and didn’t contribute to each country’s overall medal count. the Finnish men’s baseball event and the handball event at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. Notably missing from this chart are “demonstration sports.” Officially introduced in 1912, demonstration sports, confusingly, are actually events that showcase sports either culturally significant or completely foreign to the host country, e.g. Athletes in cycling then compete in events such as men’s sprint or women’s madison. It includes disciplines such as freestyle BMX and cycling track. So, for instance, cycling is the sport ruled by the Union Cycliste Internationale. Each discipline is comprised of different ranked “events” - what athletes actually get medals for. The federations also define “disciplines,” or specific types of the sport, which is what we’re showing in the chart above. In 2004, the last time the requirement was enforced, men’s sports had to have been active in at least 75 countries and four continents for inclusion in the Summer Olympics, while women’s sports needed to be active in 40 countries and three continents for inclusion in the Winter Olympics, both men’s and women’s sports had to be active in at least 25 countries and three continents.Įvery sport is governed by an international federation recognized by the International Olympic Committee, which is responsible for establishing the official rules, hosting international competitions and determining the Olympic qualification process. When the concept was first articulated in 1949, the requirement was that at least 10 countries actively participated in the sport. Until 2007, the IOC stipulated that a sport must be “widely practiced” to earn a place in the official Olympic program. Nowadays, the IOC controls the size of the games by limiting the number of athletes, officials and events. ![]() ![]() Over the last century, however, the total number of events has ballooned, with the International Olympic Committee even instating a 28-sport cap from 2002 to 2014. The first modern Olympics in 1896 had only a handful of sports represented - all of which remain on the schedule to this day. The Olympics are an international celebration of sport, but not all sports are invited to the cool kids’ table. ![]() ![]() ![]() Verb, 3rd person singular present Gives, ranks.Verb, 3rd person singular present ridicules.Verb, 3rd person singular present derides.And it would take an awful lot of chiselers an awful lot of time to rob you of enough so that you'd even notice it."
