![]() “ Cast Away Movie (2000) Review” notes Fast break Yet, contrived or not, this reviewer was moved in spite of his better judgment, partly because of Silvestri’s haunting melody and partly because of Tom Hanks’ touching, minimalist look of renewed hope. ![]() Yet if the overlong (144-minute) Cast Away is considerably less profound than its makers intended it to be – much like Robert Zemeckis’ previous collaboration with Tom Hanks, that monumental paean to idiocy and conformism known as Forrest Gump – the film does have a number of good qualities, boasting top-of-the-line production values and state-of-the-art special effects that are used to create what may well be the most harrowing plane crash ever filmed.Īlan Silvestri’s music returns later on to help elevate Cast Away’s tacked-on whimsical finale – a “fateful” contrivance that feels more like a poor imitation of Krzysztof Kieslowski’s Three Colors: Red than the intended moment of epiphany in the spiritual journey of our hero. For instead of dealing with Chuck’s inner metamorphosis from Man of the Clock to Man of the Now, William Broyles Jr.’s screenplay focuses on the hero’s failed attempts at leaving the island and on his determination to break a coconut shell. Not helping matters, Cast Away also leaves much to be desired in terms of character development unless, that is, one takes into account Wilson’s radical transformation from brand new volleyball into something resembling a rotting pineapple. The story of a workaholic who must learn to live without work, without clocks, and without people – Chuck’s sole companion on the island is a volleyball named Wilson – this $90 million budget turn-of-the-millennium release looks fantastic while only scratching the surface in its exploration of the ever-elusive Meaning of Life. And one of the most heart-wrenching moments of Cast Away - for which Hanks received an Oscar nomination - comes when Wilson is lost at sea during Chuck’s escape from the island.Most people will see Robert Zemeckis’ 2000 hit movie Cast Away as a celebration of the Triumph of the Human Spirit.Ī (however small) minority, this reviewer included, will prefer the more mundane explanation that this adventure/psychological drama merely depicts a man following his survival instincts, which propel him – like any other animal, from cockroaches to crocodiles – to fight to remain alive almost against his will.īut whichever way one perceives the survival of Tom Hanks’ Federal Express engineer Chuck Noland ( No-land, get it?) after being stranded for years on a small, deserted Pacific island (mostly shot in Monuriki, Fiji), one thing is obvious for all to see: Cast Away is little more than an elaborate, crowd-pleasing star vehicle disguised as an existential drama that borrows heavily from both Daniel Defoe’s 1719 novel The Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe and Alfred Tennyson’s 1864 poem “Enoch Arden.” A volleyball named Wilson After four years on the island, Chuck gets more than a little attached to Wilson. In order to stave off loneliness, he begins talking to Wilson as if it is his closest friend. After Chuck injures himself, he grabs the ball in a fit of rage and throws it, leaving a bloody handprint.Īs the isolation of his circumstances sets in, Chuck ultimately turns that bloody stain into a face for Wilson. And while some of the items Chuck finds are useful, perhaps the most vital turns out to be a Wilson brand volleyball. His only company are the many packages that wash ashore. Tom Hanks | 20th Century Fox Wilson is 1 of Tom Hanks’ most famous co-starsĬast Away stars Hanks as Chuck Noland, a FedEx employee who winds up stranded on a deserted island after a company plane crashes. Thankfully, Wilson’s real-life fate is much more lucrative than what happens in that hit movie. Then in 2000’s Cast Away, he made audiences emotional over a volleyball. With the exception of his first film role - a forgotten slasher flick called He Knows You’re Alone - Hanks spent his first several years in the business in comedic roles. ![]() For years early on, he was known almost exclusively for getting laughs. Looking back now, it’s probably wild for some Tom Hanks fans to realize how much of a comedy star the actor was.

As you get older, that jelly-like goo begins to solidify, creating specks of dark material that drift across your field of vision. The gelatinous substance that makes up your eyeball is called the vitreous. ![]() As you age, you begin to lose the ability to distinguish between colors, especially similar colors, like dark navy blue vs. You may not go color blind, but your kids might think you have no idea how to match your clothes or even match your shoes. They are usually correctable with contact lenses and/or eyeglasses, which an optometrist can help you select. This is also referred to as near-sightedness.īoth of these types of loss of vision are age-related. This type of vision loss is less common and makes it hard for you to see objects in the distance while still retaining your ability to see objects that are close up. You’ll still be able to see far away, with very little distance vision impact, but it can be virtually impossible to see material that is held within a few inches to a foot of your face. This is why we have those cheaters (reading glasses) by our beds, in our bags (in the protective case, of course), on desks, and even in our cars. Myopia makes it hard for you to see close up. This is the most common form of central vision loss. This type of vision loss (also known as far-sightedness) causes you to be able to see objects in the distance clearly but makes it hard for you to see close up. Two forms of age-related vision loss can affect the way you see objects that are both near and far away. These early stages of vision impairment are incredibly common and usually corrected with a trip to the ophthalmologist and some prescription lenses. Some of the most common eye conditions that affect us as we get older even begin in our mid to late thirties. The ten pairs of reading glasses we have hidden around the house are proof. Some of us might not like to associate “aging” and “wearing out” in the same sentence, but vision changes are common for middle-aged and older adults. That also means that over time (aka aging), you could experience natural vision changes as the cells and structures of the eye wear out. When they’re gone, they’re gone, and a portion of your vision could be lost. That means when retinal cells are damaged, they won’t be replaced with fresh, new retinal cells. Unlike other cells in your body, retinal cells don’t regenerate, and you’re born with the only ones you’ll ever have. The retina is also home to the macula, a structure responsible for highly detailed, fine vision. The brain then interprets what we see in front of us as a dog, a house, or oncoming traffic. These signals are then sent to the brain via the optic nerve. The retina is located in the back of the eye and is home to a limited number of specialized cells that are capable of converting this light into electrical signals. The lens then sends this ultra-focused light to your retina. The pupil and iris work to focus this collected light onto the lens. The cornea of your eye collects light that is reflected off of surfaces in front of you. In a (tiny) nutshell, this is how they work. Aging beats the alternative, and with a few preventive eye care measures, you can enjoy your healthy eyesight longer.įirst, let’s talk about how vision happens and what happens when vision is not happening as it should. Stoggles is here to help make sure your eyes stay safe as you age like a fine wine. Recently found yourself playing trombone with a book or your smartphone (moving it forward and backward to try to get the letters to focus enough so that you can read? You could be experiencing age-related vision problems, especially if you’re over 35.Īging eyes are a part of life, and as eye problems develop, protecting your eye health becomes even more important. ![]() Depth of field effects (dof) happen in all real optical devices to.

Then, we are returning a binary file base 64 image file. AWS Lambda with IM7 Questions and postings pertaining to the development of ImageMagick, feature enhancements, and ImageMagick internals. We've changed our approache to remove redirects from our responses. Node.js - AWS Lambda supports versions of 10.20.1 or above (Recommended: 12.X).When an image is called on AWS Api Gateway, this package will resize it and send it to the S3. The trade off was that it was off system so there is no way we can track if a failure happens in any of the steps but that issue is solvable by having a crontab that checks if any image in the root directory was processed or not, and if not, process it.An AWS Lambda Function to resize images automatically with API Gateway and S3 for imagemagick tasks. This way I not only reduced the time that this particular endpoint took, but I also centralized the logic of image uploads in the whole system, this way it was cleaner, faster and more efficient (since Imagemagick is way more powerful than any PHP built in function).Īlso, since images became lighter and progressive in nature the time to interact with the web page was decreased and the pages loaded faster. I then wrote a nodeJS code to interact with Imagemagick library that:ī - remove any meta data from the image to further decrease its sizeĬ - convert the image into a progressive jpgĭ - resizes the image into 3 different sizes with keeping the aspect ration the same This step function workflow orchestrates the job of multiple Lambda functions. This function invokes the state function workflow, as shown in the image. In my case, I only kept Magick-config, MagickCore-config, MagickWand-config, Wand-config, convert and gs and removed others. So, I installed Imagemagick library into an AWS Layer and used this layer inside a Lambda function that is triggered whenever an Image resource was uploaded into a bucket. For example, a workflow where a user uploads an image which is stored in the S3 bucket triggers a Lambda function 1. Note: If the size of the uncompressed ZIP file is too large and you reach AWS Lambda size limits, remove the binaries that you don't need from the bin/ folder. To solve this issue I firstly wanted to decouple the logic of image processing from the business logic, and then change the way we handled the image processing itself. It was challenging to track the flow since it was an old code base and the above logic was scattered across multiple classes/services This intense IO and image processing with PHP was taking a lot of time, and, on the other hand was producing images with large sizes and wrong formats. A project I was working on had an issue with one of its key API endpoints, the endpoint used to take a lot of time to respond, after investigating I concluded that the reason was the way image resources were handled on the server the image was firstly sent as a parameter to the endpoint, then it was saved to desk as is, after that it was read from disk to be compressed and then it was written again on disk, then it was read from disk again to be resized into three different sizes and converted into the proper format then these three images were sent to a S3 bucket. ![]() This Black and Decker iron warms up quickly and throws steam out for the entire process of ironing.

Use the Stance command wisely depending on the flow of battle."įocusing on physical attacks rather than magic, Sakuya differentiates herself from the other Witches as a close range fighter. The Sword-Drawing Stance allows you to use powerful skills in exchange for mobility. If you select the Stance command, she will take the Sword-Drawing Stance. Furthermore, she has a unique command- Stance. " Sakuya wields a katana that strikes powerful blows with each swing. This damaged her emotional health so badly that by the time the story starts, she has become unable to sing.Ĭhapter 3 - The Festival of Fire Gameplay Combat In her role as the Priestess and idol to the people of Amatsu, Sakuya learned to hide her true feelings about everything, since everyone expects the Priestess to be perfectly pure and demure at all times, and anything departing from that could earn her scorn and hatred. Due to this, Nonoka swore loyalty to Sakuya and became her bodyguard.įor years, Sakuya has silenced Gohra Volcano and protected the Gohra province. Her family was paid a great sum of money to give her up, and they cut off all communication with her when she was taken to Amatsu, because the Priestess is not allowed to show favoritism to anybody.Ī little more than ten years before the story, Sakuya met Nonoka in her shinobi village and gave her her box, which allowed her to perform her duties as a shinobi without getting stage fright. Sakuya used to live in the country with her family, but when she was five, she was chosen as the Priestess of Amatsu and the Fire Qualia was embedded in her, turning her into the Fire Witch. She despises Alto entering her heart without her permission until he later proves his worth as a confident man if the player chooses to max affinity her. Her personality can finally be summed up as himedere/tsundere, as she desires to be followed as a Priestess, but is actually quite emotional when it comes to things about her past or who she is. She even pressures Lisette to reveal her true feelings to Alto as a result, unwilling to put up any further with Lisette lying to herself like Sakuya herself had. She won't hide facts from her friends or loved ones even if it means they'll be wounded by the words. Her personality later in the game is curt but honest. She tries to hide this part of her from everyone but following her first Tuning, Alto convinces her to show her true self to everyone else. It is later revealed in her chapter that she's actually quite blunt and with a sharp tongue that most wouldn't want to approach. She has white boots and a big, yellow bowtie on the back of her shirt.ĭue to her upbringing as the Priestess of Amatsu, Sakuya made the decision early in her life to fool those around her by acting kindly, gentle, and charismatic. Her clothing is centered around a multicolored color scheme with a slight emphasis on red and white. With her powers and with Alto's power to awaken the songs in the hearts of witches, the two travel in search for the three other witches who each personify one of the remaining three elements (wind, fire, and earth) in order to stop the impeding of a terrible fate from befalling the world.Sakuya has long, black, waist-length hair. In her distress, Lisette is transformed via a mysterious crystal into the Water Witch.

Although infrequently studied, clavicular morphology may be a crucial element to determining upper limb locomotor behavior, not only among Primates, but among the five orders of Theria (Primates, Chiroptera, Insectivora except Potamogale, Dermoptera, and Tubilidentata) that possess a complete bone (Lessertisseur and Saban, 1967 Schmidt et al., 2002). Of the bones, the clavicle has been considerably less studied from a comparative perspective than has the humerus and scapula. In Primates, the shoulder complex includes 3 bones (scapula, clavicle, and humerus), more than 20 muscles (the exact number depending on the particular species), and 4 joints working together. The use of clavicular curvature analysis offers a new dimension in assessment of the functional morphology of the clavicle and its relationship to the shoulder complex. Curvatures in cranial view relate information regarding the parameters of arm elevation while those in dorsal view offer insights into the position of the scapula related to the thorax. The last group includes only modern humans, whose clavicles show only the inferior curvature, which is less pronounced than that which exists in monkeys. The third group includes only Hylobates, whose clavicles possess only the superior curvature. The second included monkeys, whose clavicles have an inferior curvature much more pronounced than the superior one. The first group is characterized by two curvatures, an inferior and a superior (Apes, Spider monkeys). Clavicle curvatures projected on the dorsal plane could be placed into four groups. One group exhibited an external curvature considerably more pronounced than the internal one ( Gorilla, Papio) a second group was characterized by an internal curvature much more pronounced than the external one ( Hylobates, Ateles) and a third group contained those with the two curvatures equally pronounced ( Pan, Homo, Pongo, Procolobus, Colobus). Results showed that in cranial view, three morphologies can be defined. Methods have included the assessment of clavicular curvatures projected on two perpendicular planes that can be assessed overall as cranial and dorsal primary curvatures. The present study compares clavicular morphology among different extant primates. In spite of its importance for movements of the upper limbs, the clavicle is an infrequently studied shoulder bone. |
