Subtitles9/2/2023 ![]() ![]() Then one night a few weeks ago, I walked into the bedroom to find my wife watching Abbott Elementary with the subtitles on. ![]() The widespread use of subtitles felt, to me, like a lurch backward toward the silent-film era. ![]() On the other: our friends and spouses, people who just want to follow the plot. On one side: people like me, the purists and refuseniks. On one side: the bombastic visual effects of post– Game of Thrones mega-budget TV. A war is raging in living rooms and bedrooms across America-a Great Subtitle War. ![]() I grew alarmed by the way subtitles seem to be creeping into our homes-an addictive substance like TikTok, which, by the way, deserves some blame for this shift, conditioning multiple generations to watch content with text plastered all over it. Following the story is the most important thing, he told me recently when I asked him about it for this article, and if you’re getting knocked out of the story because you can’t follow the dialogue, then by all means turn on the subtitles. Surely a screen actor like Ken would be aghast at the notion of so many people choosing to miss so much of the detail and nuance that he builds into his performances? But I was too stunned to judge.īoth of them have spent their entire adult lives working in movies, television, theater-the visual arts, where voice and imagery are sacrosanct tools of communication with the audience. She said it almost like a confession, as if bracing for judgment. They watch almost everything now with the subtitles on, she told us, even Ken’s own show, which is full of rapid-fire financial jargon coming at you in about a dozen languages and a riot of accents. Ken is a cast member on the HBO series Industry, and Nancy works in New York theater production, and they’re both a bit older than us-squarely Gen X. Then, a couple of months later, over New Year’s Eve, my wife and I were about to start watching Don’t Look Up with another couple, Ken Leung and Nancy Bulalacao, when Nancy asked if we minded her turning on the subtitles. For the life of me I couldn’t understand how this didn’t drive everyone else crazy too. We left the subtitles on that night, and I noticed that even though I knew every word of Clueless (or maybe it was The Goonies), I was still reading along. This monologue was all internal, though, because I’m in my mid-40s and don’t want to sound like an old man shouting at a cloud. They’re not for fluent English speakers watching something in fluent English. Subtitles serve an important purpose for people with hearing or cognitive impairments, or for translation from a foreign language. My soul can’t bear the notion of someone watching The Sopranos for the first time and, as Tony wades into the pool, looking down to the bottom of the screen to read. Because now, instead of focusing my attention on the performances, the costumes, the cinematography, the painstakingly mixed sound, and how it all works together to tell a story and transport me into an alternate world, my eyes keep getting yanked downward to read words I can already hear. All that came out, though, was: Why? They don’t like missing any of the dialogue, he said, and sometimes it’s hard to hear, or someone is trying to sleep, or they’re only half paying attention, and the subtitles are right there waiting to be flipped on, so … why not?īecause now I’m reading TV, not watching it. Now, I don’t like to think of myself as a snob-snobs never do-but in that moment, I felt something gurgling up my windpipe that can only be described as snobbery, a need to express my aesthetic horror at the needless gashing of all those scenes. “Oh,” the husband said, “we always leave the subtitles on.” “Oh,” I said as the opening scene began, “you left the subtitles on.” Our younger neighbors had come over with their kids and a projector for backyard movie night- Clueless, I think, or maybe The Goonies. The first time it happened, I assumed it was a Millennial thing.

![]() The angle of the trajectory in a given point is the same as the angle that the velocity vector form with the horizontal at that point. Once the strong> flight time is obtained, simply substitute in the equation of position of the horizontal component. It is the maximum horizontal distance, from the starting point of the motion to the point in which the body hits the ground. That is, the flight time is the time required for the height to become 0 (the projectile reaches the ground). ![]() It also gives the completed details on steps to find the projectile motion time of flight and get the solved questions. It is calculated for y = 0, the vertical component of the position. Time of Flight Projectile Motion Calculator: This is an online physics calculator tool that is used to calculate the time of flight of a projectile in a fraction of seconds. From that time, and from the equations of position, we can calculate the distance to the origin in the both axes, the x-axis and y-axis. Starting from the equation of velocity in the y-axis, and making v y = 0, we get the time t that it takes the body in get to this height. This value is reached when the velocity in the y-axis, v y , is 0. ![]() On the other hand, frequently in exercises, you would be asked for some of the following values. Then, we plug vy and gravitational acceleration ( g) into the flight time ( t) equation. This gives us the velocity components for the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) directions. On the other hand, to know which trajectory the body follows, that is, its equation of trajectory, we can combine the above equations to eliminate t, getting:Īs expected, this is the equation of a parabola. First, we plug the initial velocity ( v0) and launch angle ( ) into the vx and vy equations. The equation of position of the projectile motion is given by: ![]() ![]() ![]() Any thoughts on how this collection of music has helped you process the last couple of years? This album feels like a purposeful re-centering of self. It comes on the heels of You're a Dog - an EP about the fanciful ideas of love - and I'm Allergic to Dogs - an EP where you realize love is a bit more complicated than expected. LaTesha Harris: With Juno, you've added another installment in the dog universe. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. In our conversation, Wolf shares thoughts on the act of creation to release feelings, whether there's any rules left to break in pop music and Juno, a direct, liberating album full of her most self-aware music to date. She's aloof yet captivating: Each response yields more threads of interest to follow until you've paused and realize you're lost in an unfamiliar, but vibrant, rabbit hole of an answer. Dialing in while walking the streets of New York before playing a show - a habit she practices regularly to recharge along with watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives in hotel rooms - Wolf reflects with a considerate thoughtfulness. Over a mid-tempo drum line, Wolf spits vague, avoidant lines, trying out different descriptors of self before shouting out a cathartic refrain: "'Cause I always want more walking into the liquor store." It's one in a collection of somber grooves that'll either get you loose on your feet or get stuck in your head. Juno's lead single, a thrilling bolt of lightning titled "Liquor Store," finds Wolf confronting her post-rehab struggle with sobriety. The album, named after the French bulldog she's allergic to but still adopted during the pandemic, celebrates the intimacy of self-acknowledgment and the love found within. ![]() Wolf continues the momentum with Juno, her debut studio album out October 15. Remi Wolf, singer behind the viral Tik Tok hit, "Photo ID," and fan of outrageous hats. ![]() There's a compelling quality to her work that feels indescribable, one that you can spend hours trying to define and never will. The release of Wolf's sophomore EP, I'm Allergic To Dogs!, bolstered the Californian artist's beguiling persona - think outrageously earnest librarian meets seasoned but humble Broadway actress - and honed her ability to produce music in the sweet spot between reference and innovation. Said expansion brought on Jared Solomon, who now produces under the name of solomonophonic Wolf and Solomon have continued to collaborate over the past decade.Īfter graduating from USC Thornton School of Music in 2018, Wolf dropped her debut EP, 2019's You're A Dog!. Initially named Remi and Chloe, the band grew to include drums and bass and rebranded as Remi, Chloe & The Extracts. When she was 14, Wolf formed her first band with a friend, and describes its sound as a Simon and Garfunkel spin off consisting of guitar and harmonies. Despite her overnight fame, the 25-year-old (Aquarius sun with the Leo rising and Cancer moon for those wondering) has long been putting in work. In 2020, Wolf hit the lottery with a viral TikTok hit, "Photo ID," the success of which was boosted with a remix featuring close friend and fellow Gen Z star Dominic Fike. Until this point in her career, she's relied on instincts to dance between the boundaries of pop music, and every move, equal parts authentic and innovative, pushes Wolf closer to superstar status. There's no wasted space in Wolf's music as she spills her guts about her feelings, translating hard emotions into absurd sounds. In the past three years, she's pioneered a kaleidoscope sound by producing pop music haphazardly filled to the margins with distorted guitars, sharp, vulgar barbs that could double as Cardi B outtakes, and whimsical, chaotic beats. Remi Wolf lives life by throwing herself into various outlets of creative expression, and her music is no exception. ![]() And now she's a viral pop singer who has, on the strength of two EPs filled with a magnetic hybrid of elated funk and soulful pop, won over a score of fans (affectionately referred to as "Remjobs"), including diverse guitar-slinger elders like John Mayer, Nile Rodgers and Beck. She used to be a junior Olympic ski racer. So when I'm performing, if it's my release, I want it to be a release for other people." "My music is where I'm able to release feelings and have fun with it," Wolf tells NPR. ![]() White zebra finch9/2/2023 ![]() ![]() The birds look like standard Greys, but with an extensive black area running from the throat to the flanks. This variety is restricted to Australia, where it was developed in the mid-1960s. When crossed with the Orange-breasted variety, the blacks and oranges vie for prominence.Īustralian breeders have taken this to the limit with a very black bird referred to as Black-bodied although this is not yet recognised as a variety seperate from the Black-face. The birds are often crossed with Black-cheek and Black-breasted types to produce extensive areas of dark plumage. The effect is far subtler in hens, some of which are hard to distinguish from Greys. This varies, but sometimes stretches across the whole underside from chin to vent. These finches have more black on the face than standard Grey types, and their breasts have extensive black too. The Black-cheek, combined with Fawn birds, produces a hybrid Fawn-cheek coloration, with the black replaced by brown. The distinctive black cheek of the bird is not a robust genetic feature, and breeders often struggle to get the markings dark and distinct. Like the Orange-breasted, this mutation was first spotted and isolated in the late 1970s. The Black-cheek is frequently crossed with other types to combine key plumage features. They also have black on the flanks where a standard Grey type would have chestnut. These birds have black cheeks, as you would guess from the name, masking the ‘tear’ stripe that sits alongside it. If the bird you are looking at has a wide black splodge on its chest, it’s a Black-breasted Zebra of some sort. The Black-breasted is frequently crossed with other types of Zebra finch, giving rich variety. The tail tends to be coloured and patterned differently too, and there may be orange or white flecks on the wings. Their cheek patches are very big they lack the Zebra finch’s distinctive facial ‘tear’ stripe and their flank spots are larger and more stretched, often producing a streaked or spotted effect. The large black breast marking is the feature that gives the bird its name. These birds differ from standard Greys in most plumage details. ![]() This is the classic Zebra finch, with the same grey, black and chestnut basic coloration as the wild bird. These colours are set against a background of one of the three varieties mentioned above - Grey, Fawn or White. Basically, the birds can have one of two background colorations - Standard (Grey), or Fawn.Įach of the following is recognised as a distinct variety by bird shows. Selective breeding has produced many colour varieties of Zebra finch. □ You can find our products also in our ETSY shop but with little bit higher prices due to Etsy taxes.Zebra Finches - English, German or American? * in some cases where an address is considered distant then the Hellenic Postal Office will be used instead of DHL If you are interested in a personalized order just contact us. □ You can make a personalized order for birds you like, or with your logo or with photos of your own birds.

The small ravine seen earlier from near the main entrance is now viewed from above. Back on the roadway walking towards the Brewster Fountain, now from the other side, leaves only one area left to discover – the bridge. The carriage house is surrounded by flower plantings with a hydrangea-lined axial path running to the east and terminating at a commemorative bench, which faces back towards the building to plantings and large iron-framed, lead-imbedded glass windows. ![]() 5 From this viewing area, patrons can go back down to the roadway or walk parallel to the stone wall on the grass, under tree canopies to the third entrance, and continue to the large carriage house and adjacent garden.īeyond the carriage house are the stables, which hold the New Haven Police Department horses. To the north, past the gardens and conservatory, are fields with a splattering of fully, grown rounded trees much in the spirit of Andrew Jackson Downing’s Beautiful aesthetic and benches facing east, which look over the entire southern half of the park and the Mill River with the large trap rock ridge of East Rock beyond. In the center of the garden is a peculiar site – four curved, trimmed hedges forming a 75-foot diameter circle around a central grass plot. The gardens are maintained privately by people who rent plots to grow vegetables, flowers and plants. 1991) or head west around the back of the conservatory to the garden entrance. The road splits and visitors can continue northward towards Brewster Fountain (b. Beyond the bright and open hill lies a small ravine filled with densely packed trees fighting one another for sunlight.Ĭontinuing on the roadway leads to the discovery of what the plantings to the west were previously blocking – a large garden attached to the conservatory. Moving along the roadway the trees vanish ahead to reveal the open field, while plantings to the west, shade the road and block any views that would serve as a distraction to the sunlit hill. These clusters are used to narrow the main entrance, providing a visual impediment to the rolling open field that lay beyond. The buildings are placed on the site in a manner reminiscent of pavilions in emblematic gardens.Ĭlusters of different species of trees have been organized around the southeastern part of the site to control views, define space, and shade or light paths. 4 A winding roadway circulates through the rolling landscape connecting the gatehouse with the conservatory and the second entrance located uphill and west of the main entrance, then the road continues to the carriage house and the final entrance located at the top of the hill on the north side of the site. An impressive stone-veneered, slate-roofed gatehouse welcomes visitors upon entering and at one time would have served as a check-in for guests of the Brewster family. The main entrance is located down slope to the east and is accessed off of Whitney, from Cliff Street. Two wrought-iron gates and one opening, each just large enough to fit a single car through, serve as the only breaks in an otherwise continuous grey stone wall that surrounds the entire 22 acre site. On-street parking surrounding the site is provided for patrons entering from one of two south-facing entrances and one north-facing entrance. Therefore, what was experienced by guests a century ago is similar to what may be experienced by the public today.
