![]() ![]() We are happy to accept more functions to be added to GridGenerator. All the functions in GridGenerator are implemented in this fashion. You can find an example in the function create_coarse_grid() in step-14. For that, you need a list of vertices with their coordinates and a list of cells referencing those vertices. If there is no good fit in the GridGenerator namespace for what you want to do, you can always create a Triangulation in your program "by hand". ![]() There are many different helper functions available, including GridGenerator::hyper_cube(), GridGenerator::hyper_shell(), GridGenerator::hyper_ball(), and GridGenerator::hyper_cube_with_cylindrical_hole().Ĭonstructing your own mesh programmatically The easiest way to generate meshes is to use the functions in namespace GridGenerator, as already discussed in step-1. Meshes can be modified or combined in many ways as discussed later on. There are several ways to create an initial mesh. That said, your mesh needs to capture the given geometry adequately. As a consequence, you don't want to start with a mesh that is too fine to start with, because that takes up a good part of your cell budget already, and because you can't coarsen away cells that are in the initial mesh. However, this requires that you don't waste mesh cells in parts of the domain where they don't pay off. The reason is that you can make it as fine as you want using adaptive refinement as long as you have memory and CPU time available. When you use adaptive mesh refinement, you definitely want the initial mesh to be as coarse as possible. Please note that the example program does not show all the ways to generate meshes that are discussed in this introduction. No other computations or adaptive refinements are done the idea is that you can use the techniques used here as building blocks in other, more involved simulators. vtu files in much the same way as we do in step-1. This example program shows some of ways to create and modify meshes for computations and outputs them as. Additionally, there is not one approach that fits all problems. We will discuss several ways to do this, but this list is not exhaustive. Generating complex geometries is a challenging task, especially in three space dimensions. The notebook is available in the same directory as the original C++ program. Note This tutorial is also available as a Jupyter Python notebook that uses the deal.II python interface. This tutorial is an extension to step-1 and demonstrates several ways to obtain more involved meshes than the ones shown there.

![]() ![]() I learned something from every one of them. ![]() I was one of the fortunate ones to be rewarded for my stunt work with horses in films with a Golden Boot, and the memories of those horses haunt me to this day. The horses were seen ‘packing’ the actors willingly in spite of their bad hands, and those who bounced on their kidneys, day after day going totally unnoticed by the viewing fans who cheered wildly for more as they carried the actors up the hills as cowboys and down the hills as Indians. ![]() The long difficult days of work and the accomplishments of these horses went unseen by the average movie goer. Most of the well-known actors, not all, and stunt people who worked with these horses knew that they contributed mightily to their own success, often making them look better than they were. Sadly it was a time, however, that allowed both animal awards to go to horses whose celebrity and talents were also the most easily recognized. Unlike Patsy, it rewarded those that would normally have had no opportunity to appear in a starring role. Craven, the first director of the AHA in Hollywood. The Patsy (Picture Animal Top Star of the Year) Awards were originated by the Hollywood Office of the American Humane Association many years ago and designed to be presented yearly, like an Oscar, for animals who have done outstanding performances in television and the motion picture industry.Īlso, there was The Craven Award, named for Richard C. Many of filmdom’s deserving horses were overlooked for an award of any kind. We are honored to count Martha as a longtime Horse Nation reader and were excited to receive from her this essay about some of the most incredible four-legged stars she has ever worked with. The photo as featured on the cover of Martha’s autobiography. I told the photographer, ‘I hope you got that cause we are not going to do it again!'” I got the Motion Picture and TV’s Golden Boot Award and was inducted into the Stuntman’s Hall of Fame years later and that picture is one which is most requested from me. As it was, I was able to pull him away from the wheel. Had I not stepped off it would have snapped his leg off. You can see his hind leg behind the wagon wheel. “We got into the jump wrong and I am assuming it was my subconscious that told me of the coming catastrophe or perhaps from riding hundreds of horses, but I stepped off of him in mid-air over the wagon. Martha recalls that she and her horse, Jim, were attempting to jump a wagon - in a western saddle and without a groundline! - when disaster struck. (Martha was doubling for Jean Simmons and Carol Baker.) It was her natural instinct as an equestrian that got her through moments like the one pictured above, capturing a near disaster that occurred during a publicity shoot for The Big Country, produced by and starring Gregory Peck. ![]() She was an outstanding hunter-jumper rider and developed an extensive thoroughbred racing history website containing photos and rebroadcasts of famous races. In addition to her work on the big screen, Martha was - and remains today - a dedicated and passionate horsewoman through and through. It was rather like a young jockey winning his first two races at a new track and finding that from there on, the owners came looking for him.”Ī video tribute to Martha’s illustrious career: After my work on Interrupted Melody, news traveled pretty fast about the quality of my horsemanship, and a lot of the subsequent work calls I received were a result of that. In her autobiography, Fall Girl: My Life as a Western Stunt Double, she explains how she got into the business. You can see a full list of her credits on IMDB here. She stood in for many star actresses - Eleanor Parker, Anne Baxter, Shirley MacLaine, Rhonda Fleming, Jean Simmons, Carol Baker, Claudette Colbert - and was one of the most sought-after stunt doubles in Hollywood. The daughter of a professional polo player, Martha’s equestrian skills landed her stunt-double roles in nearly 20 films and television episodes throughout the 1950s. Top photo: Copyrighted image from Martha’s personal collection.īut first, a proper introduction to Martha. Martha Crawford Cantarini, a Hall of Fame stunt double from Hollywood’s golden era of real-action movies, explains that some of the most deserving actors of the era went unrewarded. ![]() ![]() Alternatively, players can purchase diamonds which can unlock units and cosmetics. Unit types include: infantry, tanks, some light cars, stationary units (for defense or economy), healing units, and traps. The player can unlock various units as their level increases. Players also gain persistent XP on completion of matches. Players can unlock units, pilots and AirMechs with ingame currency called kudos, which are earned after each match is completed. Outposts are buildings that can heal AirMechs and units if they are picked up. The fortress spawns creeps which are infantry units that can capture outposts. The main objective of the game is to destroy the other team's fortress and/or keep the player's fortress running. The player can build units and pick them up and can place them down on the battlefield to take part in the battle. ![]() The game revolves around the player controlling their AirMech directly and then building units to assist in achieving whatever the goal of the game mode is. ![]() ![]() Inspired by Technosoft's popular Herzog Zwei for the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis, AirMech puts the player in similar perspective of a big transforming humanoid combat vehicle that can fly above the battle as well as land on the ground to aid units during battle.

![]() I live out in the country, but my house is in between two airports, so I see a lot of contrails in the sky. Often, Cirrus fibratus and Cirrus uncinus combine to make this type of cloud formation. Cirrus duplicatus - These cirrus clouds appear to be positioned in overlaid layers.Cirrus uncinus - These cirrus clouds get their name from a Latin term meaning "curly hooks." They look like mares' tails with ends that flip up.Cirrus intortus - The name for this type of cirrus is derived from Latin terms meaning "wound" or "twisted." These clouds look like cirrus jumbled in a random pattern.These cirrus clouds can cover the entire sky and may appear to meet at a single point. Cirrus radiatus - These clouds are formed in neat, parallel rows.These dramatic clouds are a relatively unusual type of cirrus, and they are linked to the location of the jet stream. Cirrus vertebratus - This type of cloud, exclusive to the Cirrus genus, resembles ribs, spinal column vertebra, or the skeleton of a fish.They sometimes give the appearance of castle battlements, hence the Latin name meaning "of a fort or castle." These cirrus generally form in lines and are tall rather than wide. Cirrus castellanus - This generally uncommon species features turret-like formations rising from a general base.They frequently form from an upper area on Cumulonimbus clouds. Other names for this type include Cirrus densus and Cirrus northus. These clouds can veil the sun or even cover it. Cirrus spissatus - This is a thick type of cloud, and is the highest type of the major cloud genera, sometimes forming in the lower stratosphere.The name is derived from a Latin word meaning "fibrous." These clouds may also be called Cirrus filosus. They can signal fair weather or the approach of a warm front. ![]() Furthermore, the filaments in these clouds are relatively straight. The ice crystals in these cirrus clouds create a halo effect.

As a result all 1,100 movie theatres were instructed to return their posters.

Look closely and you will see that Uma is smoking Lucky Strike cigarettes. Tarantino, a mostly self-taught, mostly untested talent who spent his formative creative years working in a video store, has come up with a work of such depth, wit and blazing originality that it places him in the front ranks of American film makers."īucking the trend for a slow roll-out, Pulp Fiction opened on 14th October 1994 at 1,100 movie theatres across the U.S., with the campaign underpinned by the iconic image of Uma Thurman.īut, there was a problem. "Pulp Fiction" is the work of a film maker whose avid embrace of pop culture manifests itself in fresh, amazing ways. In September it opened the New York Film Festival, leading Janet Maslin of the New York Times to write. Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1994 - and winning the coveted Palme d'Or - the movie would spend the next six months building momentum on the film festival circuit. Having taken an option on the script, TriStar apparently backed out of production stating "It's too long, violent, and unfilmable." Miramax disagreed and it would become the first film they fully financed. No, they got the metric system there, they wouldn't know what the f**k a Quarter Pounder is.Īlso incorporating scenes written by ex-video-store buddy Roger Avary, Pulp Fiction weaves a trilogy of independent but interrelated stories told in seven out-of-sequence shorts. They don't call it a Quarter Pounder with Cheese? "… you know what they call a Quarter Pounder with Cheese in Paris? Premiering in January 1992 at the Sundance Film Festival before being picked up by Miramax Films, Empire magazine would go on to crown Reservoir Dogs "The Greatest Independent Film" ever made.įlush with the $50,000 earned from Dogs, Tarantino flew to Europe and penned large portions of his next movie, the ever quotable Pulp Fiction. Signing on as co-producer he helped raise $1.5M to fund professional filming and production and to recruit a now characteristic ensemble cast to deliver the quick-fire, octane fuelled script. Production plans changed when the script found its way to actor Harvey Keitel. His first film Reservoir Dogs was originally envisaged as a budget black and white movie shot on 16mm film. That deep knowledge of an eclectic range of films underpins all of the movies of, perhaps, the most influential film-maker of his generation.
