It’s chock full of African-American stereotypes, and looks so generically fondly upon the postbellum plantation lifestyle that it's easy to conflate it with the antebellum plantation lifestyle. Set in the wake of the Civil War, the film is an adaptation of several “Uncle Remus” stories, and sees white boy Johnny visiting his grandmother’s idyllic plantation to be entertained by Remus (James Baskett) with a variety of tall tales. The more obviously problematic of the two is Song of the South (1946), a technically ambitious live-action/animation hybrid that has the unfortunate distinction of being the single most visibly racist piece of entertainment created by the Walt Disney Corporation. Two titles really rule the roost when it comes to problematic Disney history. (So much for Jojo Rabbit being too provocative for the company.) Disney also produced a number of educational films, some of which have racist undertones in hindsight (the Spanish-language Insects As Carriers Of Disease comes to mind) and some of which wouldn’t play in an America ruled by religious conservatism (such as Walt Disney’s The Story Of Menstruation). One such film, Der Fuehrer’s Face, cast Donald Duck as a Nazi and won an Academy Award for it another, Commando Duck, saw Donald wipe out an entire Japanese airfield. Disney produced several World War II propaganda films for the United States government that would raise eyebrows over their depiction of the Japanese, or over their mere inclusion of explicit Nazi imagery (even though it was presented negatively). Most of them, you will not find on Disney+, or indeed, anywhere in Disney's public-facing literature at all. Throughout the nearly century-long history of the company, Disney has produced a great many films that either don’t work outside historical context, or that simply have not aged well. What any eagle-eyed Disney historian would have been looking out for in this salvo of announcements is a set of titles whose existence is rarely if ever acknowledged by Disney. ![]() Check out the three-hour sizzle reel, if you have that much disregard for your well-being. David Lynch’s The Straight Story did not make the cut, nor did many titles from the Buena Vista era - perhaps those will come later. Boogedy to Kurt Russell’s early output to cult classics like The Black Hole. Even a solid number of Disney’s live-action genre oddities make the grade, from failed pilot Mr. Disney has also opted to include an impressive quantity of its capacious back-catalogue of straight-to-video trash, both in the form of unnecessary animated sequels and quickie tween-oriented titles that, to adult audiences, often seem made-up. ![]() Most of the selections are what you’d expect: classic pieces of family entertainment both animated and live-action, with the addition of most Marvel and Lucasfilm titles (and some Fox titles that Disney has quietly slapped its logo on). But the functions of the announcement thread did were twofold: one, to get audiences excited about the new service and two, to unwittingly reveal which parts of its history Disney will be covering up on it. For many, it was a trip down nostalgia lane. The official Disney+ Twitter account this week tweeted an impressively long thread of thumbnails announcing “basically” every title that will be available on the streaming service at launch. ![]()

7/31/2023 0 Comments Valhalla hills ps4 review![]() While the quantity of quests and explorations is still vast, 'Valhalla' streamlines this experience into a more impactful narrative - closer to the structure of something like 'Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain' or ' Breath of The Wild'. The opening cutscenes establish the intense world of Viking raids, and later when you happen upon side quests and random encounters, it doesn't feel forced or slow. Ubisoft clearly took some of the criticism 'Odyssey' received on board. This is all helped too by the fact that the story and cutscenes in this game finally feel thrilling.Įivor approaches Stonehenge / Credit: Ubisoft She's as fun, brutal, and witty as Kassandra was, with the authentic Norwegian casting really selling the character's realism. This time the game switches between the two but it's not as often or as jarring as some fear, with the entire start of the game seen through lady-Eivor's eyes. You take control of Eivor, a plucky Viking sent from their home to gain a foothold in England. Like 'Assassin's Creed Odyssey' before it, our protagonist can be played either as male or female. But this time round a mix of refined gameplay, narrative restraint, and good old fashioned fun means that Ubisoft has earned the right to declare 'Assassin's Creed Valhalla' the best of the series. The previous games have been ambitious too, filled with tiny progressions and infinite side quests to the point of becoming over-encumbering grind-fests. 'Assassin's Creed Vahalla' is the most ambitious game of the series. ![]() ![]() He asked me to do a test piece to see how I interpreted the artwork they needed created.

I find my greatest pleasure in creating 2D artwork.

In their time, the most popular mattress to own was a waterbed, now referred to as a “watermattress”. In fact, the sleepy and dreary bedding industry didn’t have anything new to offer in the 70’s and boring conventional mattresses came in two varieties: torture rack firm and ridiculously firm. And, the water bed was the counter-culture’s mattress of choice. They were comfortable, supportive, cradling, and excellent for spine issues and those with sleep disorders and muscle soreness. During the industry’s 20 year heyday, waterbeds became the iconic sleep surface that were designed to be a clear alternative to the traditional innerspring beds that had been sold in mattress stores literally for generations.

The above steps would insert the copied table in Word, where it’s still linked to the original table in Excel. Suppose you have a table as shown below and you want to copy it from Excel to MS Word and keep this linked. By having the linked table, you only need to make changes in Excel data and these would automatically get reflected in the table you copied to Word. This is quite useful when there is a possibility that you may have to update the data in Excel and it would also need to be updated in Word. This way, if you make any changes in the Excel table that you copied, you will see that these are reflected in real-time in the table in Word as well.

Honey would require more time to shape the bowl than water would. Let's say someone had two bowls, one of which is filled with water and the other with honey. Ideal or inviscid fluids are those with no viscosity. Superfluids are the only fluids that exhibit zero viscosity, or no resistance to shear stress in all other fluids, positive viscosity is required by the second law of thermodynamics. For instance, the rate of deformation does not affect the viscosity of a Newtonian fluid. In some circumstances, the dependence on some of these traits is minimal. In general, a fluid's state-including its temperature, pressure, and rate of deformation-determines its viscosity. This friction caused by a fluid moving against it is comparable to internal friction, which is comparable to friction caused by a solid moving against a surface. The majority of this liquid has some motion resistance and is not ideal. When the liquid layers are moving relative to one another, there is viscosity. The assessment of a fluid's resistance to a progressive deformation caused by tensile or shear stress is known as viscosity. It is possible to think of viscosity as the friction that occurs between fluid molecules. A molecule's kinetic energy increases with increasing temperature, which causes molecules to slide past one another between layers. ![]() A liquid's viscosity reduces as its temperature rises. Viscosity quantifies the obstruction to a liquid's flow that results from internal frictions between fluid layers. Viscosity is also present in gases, but it is less obvious in everyday situations. A fluid with low viscosity, on the other hand, flows smoothly because its molecular structure causes less friction when it is in motion. Strong intermolecular forces provide a lot of internal friction in a fluid with a high viscosity, which makes it difficult for layers to move past one another. The term "viscosity" can also be used to describe a fluid's thickness or resistance to being penetrated by foreign objects. More specifically, it measures flow resistance brought on by internal friction between fluid layers that occur when they pass one another during fluid flow. We refer to this resistance to motion that most fluids provide as "viscosity." When there is relative motion between the fluid's layers, viscosity develops. ![]() |
