We open our book of proceedings with the words of Christy Marx, mainly because CONFIA 2013 - International Conference on Illustration and Animation aims to be synonymous with plurality, multiplicity and interdisciplinarity. In games, you might get feedback from anyone on the design team-publisher, producer, designers, programmers, animators, and so on.” Christy Marx, in the preface of her book Writing for Animation, Comics and Games, pg. In comics, primarily the editor, but your artist must feel that he or she is an integral part of a team, not a hired hand. In animation, from story editor, producers, more producers, the producer’s pet sitter, maybe a toy executive-whoever is allowed to have a say. Depending on the project, you will receive notes and feedback from any variety of people. PREFACE “These three fields require a high degree of collaboration with artists, producers, story editors, directors, programmers, and any number of other people in both the executive and creative ends of the business.This is most emphatically true for animation and games. Este projeto pretende não só abarcar questões de cariz sociopolítico, como irá também englobar e abordar todo um espectro da experiência humana, que vai desde o plano mais concreto (sociedade, ideologia, cultura e sistema) ao plano mais abstrato (psicologia, espiritualidade, losoa e humanismo). Neste proje-to, que está a ser realizado no âmbito do mestrado de Ilustração e Animação do IPCA, pretende-se também explorar, compreender e analisar o impacto que o cinema de animação desempenhou no avanço e questionamento de transformações políticas, culturais, ideológicas e sociais, ambições essas que se reeetem na estruturação narrativa, conceptual e formal das obras. Este projeto é um curta-metragem que pretende salientar temáticas políticas, culturais e sociais que não são abor-dadas pelos meios de comunicação mainstream, explorando o seu potencial como forma de questionamento da ordem atual e predominante. O presente artigo apresenta uma investigação sobre relações entre o cinema de animação e crítica social, que serve, por sua vez, de sustentação para um projeto de investigação prático em desenvolvimento, focado em torno de te-máticas de carácter intervencionista. With these tools, animation theorists will have a practice-informed lens by which to better understand the act of animating through 3D software, as well as strategies for locating individual animators’ contribution in 3D animation. I establish a set of parameters for non-practitioners to employ when trying to locate the contributions of individual animators within 3D animation. ![]() I employ the metaphor of “the artist’s/animator’s hand” as a means to understand the nature of this involvement. Using my experience as an animator, actor, and educator, I engage in a self-reflective analysis to interrogate how evidence of an animator’s individual contributions can be detected in 3D animation. Without this knowledge, much creative work in 3D animation is misconstrued as mere automation. ![]() ![]() While many theorists may lack the practical experience of creating animation, essential knowledge of the nature of labour in 3D animation is gained through first-hand practice alone. Animation theorist Vivian Sobchack expresses her predilection for animated films that “visibly labor”, and describes 3D animations as “effortless” in appearance.

![]() Peak power is 170 hp at 10,500 rpm (a 25% increase), while torque tops out at 92.2 lb-ft at 8,750 revs. With 2 mm more bore than the V4 engine found on other Ducs, the power and torque curves are flatter and more accessible. The new powerplant uses springs and rockers to open and close the valves instead of the Desmodromic system for which Ducatis are famous. The new Multistrada V4 has a new four-cylinder engine, too, replacing the V2 used in previous models. It even adjusts the auto-leveling function. The “inertial platform” of electronics even adjusts the semi-active Ducati Skyhook Suspension system, changing the hydraulics of the fork and shock absorber on the V4 S trim level. There is an IMU, or inertial measuring unit, that works in conjunction with everything from ABS to traction control to offer wheelie control, stoppie control (where the rear wheel might lift when braking) to cornering ABS. It has radar front and rear that not only aids safe-distance following with adaptive cruise control, but also offers blind spot detection and an efficient and speedy overtake function, the latter which accelerates when the road is clear and you hit the turn signal and lean into the passing position. It is brand new, so it’s loaded with new technology and increased efficiency almost never before seen on a production motorcycle. If you wanted to mix metaphors really, really badly, you could say this is the Cadillac of adventure bikes. The most high-tech, most powerful, most Italian adventure bike currently made is the Ducati Multistrada V4. Read on and start planning your ‘round the world ride. Here, then, is a fairly broad sampling of the best adventure bikes available right now, from the full-zoot high-end and brand-spankin’ new Ducati Multistrada V4, to a couple more affordable bikes you might not need to get a co-signer for. Then, when you’re ready to ride home on the freeway, they’re about the most comfortable pavement pounders around, except for cruisers and sport tourers. Yet unlike their four-wheeled friends, these bikes can actually go off-road-and you can actually have fun going there. And the seats on which your keister rests are comfortable enough that you don’t need to stop every half hour to get the circulation back.Īdventure bikes are the SUVs of the two-wheeled world they do everything and have more practicality than other segments of motorcycle. ![]() Windshields on most ADV bikes make long days in the saddle not only bug-proof but bucolic. Snap-on hard cases mean your fresh T-shirts and other gear stays dry and doesn’t get crushed if you’re crisscrossing the globe. ![]() On an ADV, as they’re called, you can cross the Kalahari as easily as you can cross town. But there is one category of bike that can do everything and do it well: the adventure bike. Each has a distinct and often narrow purpose, and most achieve that purpose with elan. There are so many different kinds of motorcycles out there now, from pure motocross dirt bikes you can fling off ramps like Evel Knievel, to luxury long-distance moto-cruisers as comfortable as your living room couch. ![]() ![]() If you’re looking for more than a mimosa there’s a Strawberry Shortkick Margarita ($9) with jalapeño infused tequila house sour, house-made strawberry jalapeño aqua fresca and a Goin’ Green Bloody Mary ($9.75), made with jalapeño and habanero infused vodka and house green bloody mix.

Eatery has opened this week in Laguna Niguel. ![]() Breakfast/brunch choices just got better in South County because Snooze An A.M. “To date, we have identified hundreds of insects that people in Texas suspect might be Northern giant hornets (murder hornets),” Porter said. Pat Porter, Ph.D., AgriLife Extension entomologist in Lubbock, developed a short video explaining the differences between the “murder hornet” and several common lookalikes here in Texas. “It looks like this could happen every summer, especially when cicada killer numbers are peaking.” ![]() “I don’t know that cicada killers are in higher numbers this year, but people are noticing them and swear they are seeing an Asian giant hornet,” Keck said. They typically start showing up in June as their offspring’s main food source – cicadas – emerge.Ĭicada killer sightings continue to prompt phone calls, emails and posts on social media and in news feeds with mistaken identifications. ![]() Summer months are the normal time for the cicada killer wasp, a common large wasp in Texas, to be seen. “But this method is working to at least control them, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they eradicate them completely.” Summer, cicadas and cicada killers “Usually, when I hear about an invasive species, I say ‘welp, it’s here. The nest is then targeted for eradication. Trapped hornets are then tagged with a tracking device and released to return to the nest. Robert Puckett, Ph.D., associate professor and AgriLife Extension entomologist in the Texas A&M Department of Entomology, Bryan-College Station, said the Washington Department of Agriculture is conducting a very effective program to contain the wasp’s spread and possibly eradicate it in the U.S.īeekeepers and other volunteers set live traps to capture Northern giant hornets. Greg Abbott to request a task force be mobilized to prepare Texas against the hornet’s arrival. But there have been no confirmed reports of these hornets outside of Whatcom County, Washington. When the Northern giant hornet was reported in Washington in May 2020, the concern was enough to prompt Gov. Northern giant hornets are native to Japan and South Korea and have only been found in parts of British Columbia, Canada and the northwestern corner of Washington state. While state agencies want to encourage Texans to be vigilant in watching for the Northern giant hornet, also known as murder hornet, they also want to help provide guidance that will help narrow the focus. These are being confused for Northern giant hornets. The Northern giant hornet was recently renamed by the Entomology Society of America and added to the group’s Common Names of Insects and Related Organisms List.Ī cicada killer wasp and burrow. ![]() It’s a bird, it’s a plane … it’s a cicada killer But she also receives photos of native cicada killers, also known as ground hornets, submitted as suspected Northern giant hornets. “It would be a far leap for them to be in Texas.” Keck said she is mostly receiving phone calls about sightings. “Northern giant hornets are not in Texas, and from reports, agencies in Washington state have done a very good job of controlling their numbers and preventing their spread,” she said. Keck and other AgriLife Extension entomologists said people are most likely mistaking cicada killers, which are large native Texas wasps, for Northern giant hornets. ![]() (Photo by Washington State Department of Agriculture)īut these sightings of Northern giant hornets, which were formerly named the Asian giant hornet and commonly called “murder hornet,” are nothing more than cases of mistaken identity, said Molly Keck, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service integrated pest management specialist and entomologist, San Antonio.

However, a licensed practitioner will use the right amount of Botox treatment so as not to compromise your straw-sucking abilities, although Frontera says you may feel slightly numb in the days after your procedure, since the active agent in the injectable temporarily paralyzes the muscles around your lip.These are isolated examples of a nationwide problem, though. Some people claim getting the procedure could jeopardize your ability to properly use a spoon or straw-the aspect of getting a lip flip I was most nervous about, as I refuse to not be a hot-soup girl. “When lip flips are done by an inexperienced injector, the muscles around your lip may relax too much and cause drooling, difficulty drinking, and struggling to speak,” says Dr. ![]() That said, make sure your doctor is experienced with the procedure. After 12 to 24 hours, any pain and swelling should go away." “Minor bruising may occur and your lips may be swollen briefly. ![]() “Lip flips are typically low risk due to only a small amount of Botox or other neurotoxins units being injected into your upper lip,” says Dr. Unlike with traditional lip fillers, lip flip treatments have minimal side effects and no major downtime. What are lip flip side effects and risks? The actual procedure takes less than two minutes, and I was in and out within 15. Most people get four to five units of injectables, meaning it’s just a few injection sites here and there. While I had to wait about two weeks to see the final product, the journey to get there was quick and painless. “If you want more lip volume, then lip filler or a combination of filler and a lip flip may be a better choice,” she says. ![]() “They look slightly fuller and very natural.” However, if you want a noticeable lip look or a more prominent lower lip, Dr. “Lip flips give the appearance of plumper lips, but they don’t physically increase the lips’ volume," says Dr. Most doctors agree that lip flips are a natural-looking lip enhancement. My own results were too subtle for anyone but me and close family to notice. It’s important to have a doctor that will not only talk you through the expectations of what’s achievable for your face shape, but also personally analyze what would look best for you, regardless of what picture you bring in to show to them. When you’re going in for any sort of cosmetic change, you have to manage your expectations from the get-go: When your face changes from one day to the next, it’s a large psychological change, Frontera explains. My peewee-size lips were in the second camp, making me the ideal candidate for both a syringe of Restylane Kysse (a softer, milder filler) and four units of neuromodulators. “On the contrary, if someone has a smaller lip, and we struggled with them even having an upper lip to begin with, then I might give them a bit of lip filler in conjunction with a lip flip so the lip stays nicely open.” “If someone has a lip that’s very visual and larger, they might not see a difference from the lip flip,” Frontera explains. The lip flip before and after depends on a few factors. “If someone comes into my office, and I know that they’re not going to benefit or see much change from the lip flip, then I’m going to counsel them to not waste their money and instead get a result where you really see a difference.” Will I notice a difference with a lip flip? “The most important thing is having the initial consultation -not that you just heard it from a TikTok-and asking yourself if it’s right for you,” Frontera explains. It’s not that I’m easily influenced-on the contrary, I usually don’t have the brain capacity to constantly check up on every celebrity’s mouth-but I’ll try everything once. Like most 23-year-olds, I don’t often find that what I see online affects the way I feel about myself. ![]() You could allege that the rise of social media has contributed to a sharp uptick in aesthetic medicine, rooted in an overwhelming, vain self-awareness and constant bombardment of Instagram-style beauty standards. Now remember there's a Bug report side of the forum where this kind of threads should go. This game is great and is still part of alpha so this is normal however I hope this issue will be fixed at some point. The fact is that this problem is here and needs to be adressed. I've seen in multiple post in the forum about this matter, now you're right it probably has to do with networking but either the devs could give us more info or a logfile to understand (there's none to my knowledge), it could also comes down to the way the game handles networking or even something totally different. Just so you know, this has been happening to a friend, I've been hosting and playing with other players without any problem, he can play with me for a non fixed number of minutes and sometimes he will disconnect (while Im still in game), we don't have this problem on other games that also uses peer to peer.
