By . Sara Malm . A Chinese man who was impaled on a steel rod after a fall on a building site has been told he will make a full recovery . Li Dehua, 47, was working on a construction site in Xi’an, west China’s Shaanxi province, when he fell from a window 20 feet up, and onto a protruding steel rod - headfirst. The rod pierced his head, but somehow missed his brain. Lucky escape: Li Dehua, 47, from Xi¿an in west China, fell 20 feet from a window on a construction site and was impaled through his head - but the steel rod missed his brain . The steel rod went in to his face through his left lower jaw, and exited on the left side of his head. Although . doctors initially told his family it was unlikely he would survive, . they discovered during surgery that his brain had miraculously been . spared. After 18 days of treatment, Mr Li is now expected to make a full recovery. He . said from his hospital bed: ‘It was one of those freak things whereby . the rod must have missed the key bits of my brain. 'It did a lot of . damage to my face which still feels stiff, but essentially it missed the . important bits of the 'computer' above. Up and running: Although Mr Li's family were told he was unlikely to survive, he is now expected to make a full recovery . Miracle: Doctors operated to save Mr Li's life and discovered that his brain had not sustain any major injuries . ‘The pain was not that intense at first. It was almost like I shut down. ‘It was when they moved me that the pain first kicked in. It was terrible. ‘But then I underwent a series of operations so I knew nothing about it.’ He was wearing a safety helmet at the time of the accident but, as he landed on his face, it did nothing to lessen his injuries. Doctor . Chung Hsieh, who operated on Mr Li, said: ‘The human brain is an . amazing organ, it has the potential to absorb enormous damage and still . survive.’

for the party At their 2018 Congress in Helsinki, the EPP elected Manfred Weber as their for President of the European Commission. Party of European Socialists Previous candidate Martin Schulz left the European Parliament in 2017 to head the Social Democratic Party of Germany, but he stepped down from the latter position in 2018. Two candidates were nominated by PES member parties and organisations: Maroš Šefčovič (Vice-President of the Commission) announced in September his bid to head the Commission. Frans Timmermans (first Vice-President of the Commission, previous Dutch Foreign Affairs Minister) announced in October his bid to head Commission. Šefčovič announced his withdrawal in November and supported Frans Timmermans as the Common Candidate. The party convened an extraordinary Congress in Lisbon to ratify the election of the candidate and to vote upon the manifesto. European Conservatives and Reformists Jan Zahradil, an MEP for the Czech Civic Democratic Party, is the of the European Conservatives and Reformists. European Green Party As in 2014, the Greens adopted the principle of having two leading candidates for the European Elections 2019. Unlike in 2014, where the candidates were chosen through an open online primary elections, the two leading candidates were elected by the Council of the Party in Berlin in November 2018. Four people, two of them being currently MEPs, have declared their candidacy: Petra De Sutter (Senator and member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe and candidate of Groen in the 2019 elections) Ska Keller (MEP and candidate of Alliance 90/The Greens in the 2019 elections). Bas Eickhout (MEP and candidate of GroenLinks in the 2019 elections) Atanas Schmidt (nominated by Zelena Partija, Bulgaria) At their 2018 Congress in Berlin, the party elected Ska Keller and Bas Eickhout as their for the President of the European Commission. European Free Alliance Oriol Junqueras, a Catalan historian, academic and former Vice President of Catalonia who is currently imprisoned because of his involvement in the 2017 Catalan independence referendum, is the of the European Free Alliance. Alliance of Liberals and Democrats Rather than present a single candidate, the ALDE group presented a Team Europe of seven people as the alliance's leading candidates: Guy Verhofstadt (President of the ALDE group, MEP and former Prime Minister of Belgium) Nicola Beer (General Secretary and lead candidate of the Free Democratic Party in Germany) Margrethe Vestager (Commissioner for Competition, previous Danish Minister for Economy and Interior). Luis Garicano (chief economist for Ciudadanos in Spain) Emma Bonino (Former European Commissioner for Health and Consumer Protection, former Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs) Violeta Bulc (Commissioner for Transport, former Deputy Prime Minister of Slovenia) Katalin Cseh (founder of Hungary's Momentum Movement) Party of the European Left The designated candidates are Violeta Tomič from Slovenia and Belgian trade-unionist Nico Cué. Populist and Eurosceptic groups The Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy was widely expected to disband after the election. One reason was that its biggest share of MEPs came from the United Kingdom, which was long expected to leave the EU before the election. The second was that the second-biggest partner, Italy's Five Star Movement (M5S), felt uneasy about this alliance anyway, having unsuccessfully tried to join the Greens/EFA or ALDE group instead. In February 2019, M5S alongside partners from Croatia, Finland, Greece and Poland presented a new alliance of anti-establishment parties that claim to be neither left nor right. The Movement is an alliance of populist parties set up by Steve Bannon in 2018 with the purpose of contesting the European elections. Participating parties included, at least temporarily, Lega Nord, People's Party of Belgium and Brothers of Italy and possibly

Spanish Ciudadanos, Progressive Slovakia and the Hungarian Momentum Movement. However, the hypothetical group was considered to have difficulties to find MEPs from at least seven member states as is required to form a new group. In November 2018, LREM decided to cooperate with the liberal ALDE group instead. Nevertheless, Macron stressed that this was merely a loose alliance and his party is not a member of the ALDE Europarty. He bluntly criticised ALDE for accepting donations from the Bayer-Monsanto chemical group while LREM's campaign chief threatened to recall the alliance. In April and May 2019, LREM continued its efforts to build a broader group, including ALDE, but also centrist and centre-left parties outside of ALDE. The new Brexit Party won 29 seats in the United Kingdom. The European Spring initiated from the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 ran as a pan-European party alliance with one unified vision for Europe, the European Green New Deal. The most prominent figure is the former Greek minister Yanis Varoufakis, who ran as a candidate in the constituency of Germany, but failed to secure a seat. Despite garnering approximately one and a half million votes, no representatives who ran DiEM25 were elected, due to the votes being dispersed throughout different EU countries. As a new pan-European party, Volt Europa was founded in different European countries two years before the elections and successfully campaigned in eight EU countries for the elections with one transnational programme. Despite missing its own goal to create a parliamentary group on its own, approximately half a million votes in total were sufficient to send one of the founders, Damian Boeselager, into the European Parliament via a German Volt list. Since June 2019, Volt is part of the group of the Greens/EFA. Televised debates Results Groups By country Post-Brexit seats In June 2018, the European Council decided to reapportion 27 of the 73 seats which would become vacant in the event of the United Kingdom leaving the EU. As the United Kingdom was still a member of the EU at the time of the election, the elections were held with the same allocation of seats as in 2014. When the United Kingdom left the EU, 27 of the seats were reallocated to other EU member states as shown below, resulting in a total of 705 MEPs. Changes in group representation The table below shows the changes in group composition after the United Kingdom left the EU. Seat projections There were no pan-European polls for the European elections. However, several organisations calculated the theoretical seat distribution in the European Parliament based on national polls in all member states. The table below displays these different projections. Since the United Kingdom notified its intention to leave the European Union in March 2017, the United Kingdom was expected not to participate in the European elections and was therefore excluded from projections. On 10 April 2019, the European Council extended the Brexit deadline to 31 October 2019, and the UK did participate in the European elections. The UK was included in most projections after that date. Percent The following table shows projections with vote share instead of seats. Aftermath President of the Commission Approval The heads of governments, gathered in a European Council on 1–3 July 2019, could not agree on a consensus President of the Commission. The two Spitzenkandidaten were discussed, but neither Manfred Weber (EPP), nor Frans Timmermans (PES), who had the backing of many leaders but not of those from the

agent. Bond is sent to recover it before the Union can sell the microfilm to a foreign power. Bond tracks Harding and the Chinese ex-agent to Belgium, but they slip away while Bond kills Harding's bodyguard Basil. MI6 tracks the Chinese man to Nepal. It turns out, however, that Harding plans to double-cross the Union by having the plane carrying the pacemaker's host hijacked. Le Gerrant, the blind leader of The Union, immediately deduces Harding's double-cross and has him executed; Harding's body later washes up on the beach at Gibraltar. The plane containing the pacemaker's host crashed in the Himalayas, so a deadly race commences to recover Skin 17. Bond, sexy mountaineer Hope Kendal, and Roland Marquis, also Bond's rival from schoolboy days, lead one of the expeditions. Early on, they destroy the Chinese base camp, forcing that team to withdraw. Not long after, however, everyone on the British expedition is killed, save for Bond, Hope and Marquis.

team to withdraw. Not long after, however, everyone on the British expedition is killed, save for Bond, Hope and Marquis. It turns out that Marquis is in on the theft with Harding, though they don't plan to sell it to The Union. The race climaxes with Bond battling Marquis atop the peak of Kangchenjunga. After a physical high-elevation fight, Bond trades oxygen from a mortally wounded Marquis for Skin 17. Bond and Hope return to base camp to find Paul Baack, a team member believed to have died with the rest, who reveals his affiliation with the Union and demands Skin 17. Bond and Hope manage to kill Baack and Skin 17 is returned to the British. Meanwhile, Helena reveals herself to be a reluctant agent for The Union, who threatened to harm her family if she did not do their bidding, but she is killed before Bond can reach her.

Fate of Lee Khan in Sight & Sound finding the film "always strikingly beautiful" and that its "bald narrative outline risks suggesting that Lee Khan would sit more comfortably within the Chinese martial arts genre than in fact it does. Its vividly stylised clashes" were "far from being the film's raison d'etre as they are from being mere set-pieces.". Rayns concluded that the film was a "remarkable , and not just by the standards of Hong Kong cinema. One can only hope that its appearance here (mercifully subtitled, not dubbed) may herald more of King Hu's work."

Glessner also noted the script by King Hu and Wang Chung that "like the direction and the gallery of performances, shows a rare sharpness and sophistication." From retrospective reviews, Michael Brooke wrote in Sight & Sound once the film is set up it was as "taut as any Hitchcock or Clouzot suspense. Violent erupts out of nowhere and ends almost as quickly as it began- at least, until the final pitched battle which is also the film's only really prolonged exterior scene." Glenn Kenny of the New York Times made the film his "New York Times Critic's Pic" and stated that the film " falls into a sweet lather, rinse, repeat mode of scenes, alternating character

television critics. Plot Elias Zacklin is the owner of The Helio Cafe, a small coffee shop in East Hollywood, Los Angeles, that lacks customers. Fielder meets with Zacklin to discuss how he can compete with bigger coffee chains. His idea is that parody law permits fair use of a company's logos and branding, which should attract their customers. He suggests they change Helio's name to a parody of Starbucks named "Dumb Starbucks". Fielder meets with lawyer Peter J. Marx, who informs him that the legality is not yet sound because individuals could confuse Dumb Starbucks for the famous corporation, unless Fielder has established himself as a parody artist. In a twist, Fielder reveals he has fooled Marx into signing a release form that holds him responsible for any legal damages the stunt may create. Marx refuses to give Fielder the contract back, but Fielder confirms they have video footage of him signing the contract, which will hold up in court. Zacklin and Fielder begin writing parodies of popular songs to perform at an open mic night. Fielder also opens an art gallery containing pieces of visual art mocking popular culture, continuing his quest to become a parody artist. When tensions with Zacklin arise, he decides to pursue Dumb Starbucks on his own, kicking Zacklin off the project. Renting a vacant retail space in nearby Los Feliz, they begin to construct the shop over the course of a week. Fielder posts a Craigslist ad seeking baristas with Starbucks experience, and hires two applicants. Dumb Starbucks opens to little fanfare, leading Fielder to promote the store in the parking lot of a local Starbucks. The next day, the location becomes a phenomenon, attracting dozens of visitors and international media coverage. Fielder announces plans to open a second location in Brooklyn, New York, but the store is shut down by the health department. To help him navigate the fiasco, he returns to Zacklin for help, who refuses. Fielder realizes that he has put himself above who he intends to help, and has become what he despises most. Attempting to right his wrongs, he posts a sign on the door of the now-empty former Dumb Starbucks, suggesting visitors instead visit The Helio Cafe. Production In producing the second season of Nathan for You, Fielder and the show's writing staff did not intend to produce something that would go viral online. For an episode in the show's first season, they had created a YouTube video, "Pig rescues baby goat", which gained seven million views and news coverage even before the series aired. Fielder did not want to do something similar again; as he later put it, "I'm not into things that feel like a sequel." He and the writing staff thought that the Dumb Starbucks location might attract local news media, but not much else. Dumb Starbucks opened on February 7, 2014 at 1802 Hillhurst Avenue in Los Feliz, Los Angeles, which they announced via a tweet by an "official" Twitter account. The strip mall also contained a Thai restaurant and a coin-operated laundromat. The location contained items such as "Dumb Espresso" and "Dumb Frappuccino," CDs of Dumb Nora [sic] Jones Duets, and coffee sizes were dumb

rating visible. The popularity of Dumb Starbucks was fueled by social media, and according to USA Today, tweets from visitors revealed they stood in line for an hour to receive the free coffee. The New Yorker noted that visitors protested the store's "horrible coffee." A reporter from Grantland visited the location, describing it as "madness with a side of possible poignancy." News crews set up cameras in the strip mall's parking lot, but were unable to interview the "mysterious" owner behind Dumb Starbucks. Upon the store's closure at 5:30 p.m., several people in the line began chanting "We want Dumb!" Comment threads online suggested Fielder was behind the prank, and Fielder held a press conference on February 10, confirming that the Dumb Starbucks store was a television stunt. The store was closed later that day by the health department for operating without a permit. In an email to media outlets, Starbucks confirmed that "We are evaluating next steps and while we appreciate the humor, they cannot use our name, which is a protected trademark." Mark McKenna, a law professor at the University of Notre Dame specializing in trademark law, told USA Today that "My gut tells me a court would be bothered by how much of the Starbucks trademark was used. It's not just the word but they also made the store look just like it." As it turned out, Comedy Central and parent company Viacom escaped legal action from Starbucks. Themes "Dumb Starbucks" as a whole explores the fair use of copyrighted material with regards to the art form of parody. Fielder describes the issues involved within the episode, noting that parody "allows you to use trademarks and copyrighted material as long as you’re making fun of them." A "frequently asked questions" notice on the window of the location stated that the location was operating as an art gallery and was technically "making fun" of Starbucks as a parodic work of art. "The 'coffee' you're buying is considered the art," read the notice, "but that's for our lawyers to worry about. All you need to do is enjoy our delicious coffee!" Fielder summarized the episode's satirical intent as "a parody about the power of corporate branding." Outside the scope of the episode, the actual Dumb Starbucks spurred discussion regarding public consumption of art. Spectators questioned the store's authenticity, some of which are depicted in the episode, presuming it to be a political statement on consumerism, or an offshoot of the Occupy Wall Street movement. Many commentators theorized it could be British graffiti artist Banksy, and others simply considered the stunt a successful viral marketing strategy. Dissenters dismissed the store as "too hipster." The episode features the one recurring narrative in Nathan for You, namely, "...that the underlying motive of these schemes is so Nathan can find friends, find love, and end his loneliness." Robin Hardwick of Entertainment Weekly characterized the episode's ending as a Faustian bargain. Cultural references As mentioned, the episode mainly targets Starbucks, and lampoons its merchandise and branding. The Dumb Starbucks store's logo, interior design, color schemes, employee uniforms, menu, and CD offerings all imitate Starbucks. In his quest to become a parody artist, Fielder suggests they mock the Rolling Stones, due to their age. Among Fielder's musical parodies include spoofs of "Glycerine" by Bush and "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry. Hardwick noted that many of Fielder's parodies consisted of late 1990s popular music. At his art gallery, one piece depicts the logo of Bank of America as a tank, mocking the corporation as "Tank of America". Other parodies include Continental Breakfast Airlines, T.G.I. Fart, Fruit In The Room, 1806 Flags, WoodFellas, and a 76 (gas station) logo prominently featuring the words "SIXTY-NINE". The episode also incorporates clips from real media coverage of the "Dumb Starbucks" location, including Today, Fox News and Fielder's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. Reception The heavy press coverage of "Dumb Starbucks" attracted new viewers to Nathan for You, and increased Fielder's own

A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a body at rest tends to stay at rest. The anvil is at rest and it wants to stay that way. It absorbs the energy imparted on it from the hammer. It has too much mass compared to the mass of the hammer. Try to think what would happen if you kicked a 1 ton boulder. It doesn't move because your foot doesn't have enuf mass. If you dropped the 1 ton boulder on the anvil, the reclining person won't have a chance. There is too much mass for the anvil to absorb.\nThe loose head is in motion, so is the hammer and the butt end of the hammer. When the butt end of the hammer hits the solid surface, it stops moving. The surface has too much mass for the hammer to overtake. The loose head is moving, and when the hammer stops, the loose head wants to stay in motion. So it slides down the hammer handle and since the hammer handle is wedge-shaped where the head is, the head wedges itself against it until the force of the moving head is absorbed by the handle.

ACE cameras were introduced in the mid-1990s with film identical to the 800 film but with a different cartridge. The integral films are based on the Kodak line of instant camera films. The instant films FI-10/PI-800/ACE series are somewhat compatible with the Kodak line of instant cameras, with minor modifications to the cartridge to make it fit. The F series film was discontinued in 1994 but similar modifications on more recent Instax film can be made to fit in the older cartridges. Fujifilm was one of the first manufacturers who added different shooting modes to Polaroid cameras. "Kid mode" for example, will shoot photos at a faster shutter speed for capturing fast moving objects or people. Fujifilm later introduced Instax Mini 8 and advertised as the "cutest camera" targeting young women and girls. Shortly after, they introduced Instax Mini 90 and Instax mini 70, Targeting middle-aged men with the new sleek and classic design. In the late 1990s Fujifilm introduced a new series of cameras using a new film called Instax it was available in markets outside the US. Instax became available in a smaller size with the introduction of the Instax Mini/Cheki line. Polaroid's Mio was available in the US, it uses the same film as the Fujifilm Instax Mini series but were rebranded as Mio film. This was also true of the Polaroid 300, and this film is still being sold. None of Fujifilm's products were sold officially in the United States originally. With the announcement in 2008 of Polaroid ceasing film production, Instax and peel apart type films became available in more channels. Fuji ended production of peel-apart films in 2016, FP-100C being the last such product from them. Polaroid Originals As noted above, Polaroid Originals (previously the Impossible Project) produces instant film for Polaroid cameras. In spring 2016, as Impossible Project they released their own instant camera, the Impossible I-1 that uses the company's 600-type and I-Type films. In September 2017, now renamed Polaroid Originals, it announced the Polaroid OneStep 2 that also uses its 600-type and I-Type films. MiNT Camera In 2015, MiNT Camera released the InstantFlex TL70, a vintage twin-lens reflex-looking instant camera that uses Fuji Instax Mini film instead of SX-70 film. In 2016, it launched the SLR670-S. It has the look of a Polaroid SX-70, but with an ISO 640 system and manual shutter options. These are built from vintage cameras with new electronics. In 2019, it introduced the InstantKon RF70, a rangefinder camera that uses Fuji instax wide film. Two years later in 2021, it introduced another rangefinder camera, the InstantKon SF70, that uses Fuji instax square film. Lomography In 2014, Lomography funded the creation of a new instant camera, the Lomo'Instant, by raising over US $1,000,000 on Kickstarter. Like Fujifilm's Instax Mini camera, the Lomo'Instant uses Instax Mini film. The following year, the company released the Lomo'Instant Wide, a variation on the original Lomo'Instant which shot larger photos using Fujifilm's Instax Wide film. These images are more similar in size to original Polaroid film. In the summer of 2016, Lomography announced the development of a new instant camera. Called the Lomo'Instant Automat, Lomography describes it as "the most advanced automatic instant camera.” In August 2017, Lomography released the Lomo'Instant Square Glass. It takes 86mm x 72mm photographs and is the "world's first dual-format, glass lensed instant camera". Applications Instant cameras have found many uses throughout their history. The original purpose of instant cameras was motivated by Jennifer Land's question to her father (Edwin Land): "Why can't I see them now?" Many people have enjoyed seeing their photos shortly after taking them, allowing them to recompose or retake the photo if they didn't get it right. But instant cameras were found to be useful for other purposes such as ID cards, passport photos, ultrasound photos, and other uses which required an instant photo. They were also used by police officers and fire investigators because of their ability to create an unalterable instant photo. Medium and large format professional photographers have also used the higher end instant cameras to preview lighting before taking the more expensive medium and/or large format photo. Instant film also has been used in ways that are similar to folk art, including the transfer of the images/emulsion and image manipulation. Script supervisors in film production used instant cameras (until superseded by digital cameras) as standard to aid visual continuity by photographing actors, sets or props, to take photographs that could be instantly referred to when a particular set or character's appearance needs to be reset and shot again, or recalled later due to reshoots or the out-of-sequence shooting schedule of a film or television production. The fashion industry relied upon Polaroid prints as a record of models or potential models. Instant photography was also useful in conducting a study about the perception of vehicle accidents. The instant photos were used to document accidents to show medical professionals the condition of a vehicle after an accident. Having this visual in turn changed how the physician viewed the accident their patient was in. With the advent of digital photography, much of the instant camera's consumer appeal has been transferred to digital cameras. Passport photo cameras have gone to digital, leaving instant cameras to a niche market. Instant Cameras and Society The introduction of instant camera technologies was important to society because it allowed for more creativity among camera users. Instead of having to use a darkroom to develop photographs, users were able to explore and document their world and experiences as they occurred. Instant Camera photography acted as an activity to some of its users.

and various digital cameras and portable printers. , film continues to be made by the Polaroid Originals (previously the Impossible Project) for several models of Polaroid camera, and for the 8×10 inch format. Other brands such as Lomography, Leica, Fujifilm, and others have designed new models and features in their own takes on instant cameras. Cameras and film Many different models of Polaroid and non-Polaroid instant cameras were introduced in the mid to late 20th century. They can be categorized by the film type. Roll film The first roll film camera was the Polaroid Model 95, followed by subsequent models containing various new features. Roll film came in two rolls (positive/developing agent and negative) which were loaded into the camera and was eventually offered in three sizes (40, 30, and 20 series). Pack film The first 100 series pack film model was the model 100, followed by various models in the 100 - 400 series and a few ad hoc cameras such as the countdown series. The next generation of Polaroid cameras used 100 series "pack film," where the photographer pulled the film out of the camera, then peeled apart the positive from the negative at the end of the developing process. Pack film initially was offered in a rectangular format (100 series), then in square format (80 series). Integral film Models which used SX-70 film were introduced in a folding version, with later versions being solid plastic bodied. Third generation Polaroids, like the once popular SX-70, used a square format integral film, in which all components of the film (negative, developer, fixer, etc.) were contained. The SX-70 instant camera used the print technology that Edwin Land had most desired. It introduced the use of more efficient print technology that developed more instantly than previous film types offered, which cut out some of the user's responsibility and made it easier to use. Each exposure developed automatically once the shot was taken. SX-70 (or Time Zero) film had a strong following with artists who used it for image manipulation. 600 series cameras such as the Pronto, Sun 600, and One600 used 600 type film which was four times faster than SX-70 film. 600 series cameras were almost all plastic bodied, except for the SLR 680 and 690 models, which resembled SX-70 type cameras, but most came with an electronic flash. Spectra, Captiva, and i-Zone film This was followed by other various plastic cameras based on Spectra, Captiva, and i-Zone film. Polaroid Spectra cameras used Polaroid Spectra film which went back to a rectangular format. Captiva, Joycam, and Popshots (single use) cameras used a smaller 500 series film in rectangular format. i-Zone cameras use a very small film format which was offered in a sticker format. Finally, Mio cameras used Polaroid Mio film which was Fuji Instax mini, branded as Polaroid and which is still available in 2015 as Fuji Instax Mini. This size produces a billfold sized photo. Polaroid still markets a mini format camera built by Fuji branded as Polaroid 300 and the film is available with both the Polaroid name and as Fuji Instax mini which are interchangeable. Polaroid instant movie cameras Polaroid also invented and manufactured an instant movie camera system called Polavision. The kit included a camera, film, and a movie viewer. When the movie was shot, it would be taken out of the camera and then inserted into the viewer for development, then viewed after development. This format was close to Super 8 mm film. Polavision film was different from normal film in that it was an additive film, mixing the primary colors (red, green, blue) to form the color image. The biggest disadvantage of the Polavision system was the low film speed (ASA 40), which resulted in having to use very bright lights when taking the movie, as well as requiring a special player to view the developed movie. It also lacked audio capability. Because of this, and combined with the advent of VHS video recorders, Polavision had a short history. Types of non-Polaroid instant cameras The earliest instant cameras were conceived before Edwin Land's invention of the instant camera. These cameras were, however, more portable wet darkrooms than "instant" camera and were difficult to use. After Land's instant camera invention was brought to market in 1948, a few different instant cameras were developed, some using Polaroid-compatible film such as cameras by Keystone, Konica, and Minolta. Others were incompatible with Polaroid cameras and film, the most notable of these being made by Kodak, such as the EK series and Kodamatic cameras. Later, Fujifilm introduced instant cameras and film in selected markets. After taking over an old Polaroid factory in 2008, the Netherlands-based Impossible Project began producing instant film for Polaroid cameras. This helped generate new interest in instant photography. Kodak (EK and Kodamatic) Kodak's EK and Kodamatic series cameras were introduced in 1976, and accepted a Kodak developed integral instant film, similar to but incompatible with Polaroid's SX-70 film. The film was chemically similar to Polaroid's with the exception that the negative was exposed from the rear and the dye/developers diffused to the front of the photograph. This alleviated the need for a mirror to reverse the image before it struck the negative. Even so, Polaroid brought a patent-infringement lawsuit against Kodak, and eventually Kodak was forced to stop manufacture of both the camera and film. Kodak was also left to pay a settlement to some customers who were left without a way to use their now defunct cameras. One settlement offered owners of Kodak instant cameras a credit towards a new Kodak camera. Many Kodak instant cameras still exist and can be found on auction sites. Kodak also lost the contract to manufacture Polaroid's negatives which subsequently took production in house. Recently photographers tried to use Instax mini and square film inside the Kodak EK4 being somewhat successful and only being able to load one picture at a time in a darkroom. Fujifilm In more recent years, Fujifilm introduced a line of instant cameras and film in Japanese and Asian markets. Fujifilm called their instant camera line Fotorama. Starting in the early 1980s the F series of cameras include the F-10, F-50S and F-62AF. In the mid-1980s it introduced the 800 series with models such as the MX800, 850E, and Mr Handy collapsible. The ACE cameras were introduced in the mid-1990s with film identical to the 800 film but with a different cartridge. The integral films are based on the Kodak line of instant camera films. The instant films FI-10/PI-800/ACE series are somewhat compatible with the Kodak line of instant cameras, with minor modifications to the cartridge to make it fit. The F series film was discontinued in 1994 but similar modifications on more recent Instax film can be made to fit in the older cartridges. Fujifilm was one of the first manufacturers who added different shooting modes to Polaroid cameras. "Kid mode" for example, will shoot photos at a faster shutter speed for capturing fast moving objects or people. Fujifilm later introduced Instax Mini 8 and advertised as the "cutest camera" targeting young women and girls. Shortly after, they introduced Instax Mini 90 and Instax mini 70, Targeting middle-aged men with the new sleek and classic design. In the late 1990s Fujifilm introduced a new series of cameras using a new film called Instax it was available in markets outside the US. Instax became available in a smaller size with the introduction of the Instax Mini/Cheki line. Polaroid's Mio was available in the US, it uses the same film as the Fujifilm Instax Mini series but were rebranded as Mio film. This was also true of the Polaroid 300, and this film is still being sold. None of Fujifilm's products were sold officially in the United States originally. With the announcement in 2008 of Polaroid ceasing film production, Instax and peel apart type films became available in more channels. Fuji ended production of peel-apart films in 2016, FP-100C being the last such product from them. Polaroid Originals As noted above, Polaroid Originals (previously the Impossible Project) produces instant film for Polaroid cameras. In spring 2016, as Impossible Project they released their own instant camera, the Impossible I-1 that uses the company's 600-type and I-Type films. In September 2017, now renamed Polaroid Originals, it announced the Polaroid OneStep 2 that also uses its 600-type and I-Type films. MiNT Camera In 2015, MiNT Camera released the InstantFlex TL70, a vintage twin-lens reflex-looking instant camera that uses Fuji Instax Mini film instead of SX-70 film. In 2016, it launched the SLR670-S. It has the look of a Polaroid

When doing qPCR, what is a melt curve?
|
The melt curve is a curve telling us what temerpature we need to have the melting temperature at. Remeber there are three phases of PCR. One is Melting which breaks the Hydrogen bonds and opens the DNA, the next is primer annealing, and the final is extension of the primer. Also remember there are 3 hydrogen bonds for GC bonds, and 2 bonds between an A and T. So collectively, this extra bond can mean a total stronger bond. So a DNA strand with a high GC content, our melting temperature must be higher. This curve helps us determine that temperature.

would legalizing marijuana decrease americas drug problem?
|
I think so, for a couple of reasons. \n\n1) Teen drug use is lower in countries like Amsterdam, which have legalized it. \n2) More law enforcemnet money can be spent on the "harder" drugs like meth, coke, herion, etc.--I consider those drugs much more of a danger to society. This would take a burden off our jails too. \n3) Decriminalizng Marijuana would give many minor drug offenders a shot at a better life--FYI, you are unable to get any financial aid for college if you are any type of drug offender, even a Misdemeanor!! That only helps to continue the cycle of poverty/drug use/dealing, etc. \n4) Tax the crap out of it and we could pay off our national debt! \n5) Marijuana has the potential to be an effective treatment for many people with various ailments, such as glaucoma, cancer, etc.\n\nCool class you are taking, never written papers like that before.

Why do different brands of bottled water taste so differently?
|
Great question! I've often wondered about this too. I think some of it has to do with it being reverse osmosis water vs. spring water or naturally sourced. I also think if it's naturally sourced there might be influences from the minerals in the area. Reverse osmosis is water that I think is basically tap water "filtered." Curious what others think.

Buzkashi is the national sport of which country?
|
Buzkashi : NPR Buzkashi Afghanistan's national sport is like polo, with a headless goat. If you think about it, most American sports involve an animal hide. Baseballs, basketballs and footballs are all made with leather. In Afghanistan, they don’t just use the skin — the game ball is a whole goat. Minus the head and hooves. Buzkashi, the name of Afghanistan's national sport, translates into something like "goat-grabbing." That's the object: Grab the headless, disemboweled animal carcass (sometimes a calf), circle the field and deliver it to the goal. It originated among the Turkic people of Central Asia centuries ago, and for generations they’ve been passing down the game, and the goat, relatively unchanged. It’s more than a game; it’s a part of the fabric of Afghan life. And its popularity has never waned. In the northern Afghan city of Sheberghan, you can catch a game after noon prayers most Fridays in the winter. That's buzkashi season. Like any Western sport, buzkashi draws a huge crowd of passionate fans — and involves big money, at least by Afghan standards. In fact, the match we caught was sponsored by Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, who has long had a reputation as a ruthless Uzbek warlord [ What? ] and is now a candidate for vice president in the Afghan election [ What again? ]. Powerful figures often sponsor buzkashi matches as a sign of their wealth and influence. Dostum watched this one on TV, from the comfort of his warm and dry compound. But his son, Bator, showed up in person, wearing a bright, striped chapan, a traditional Central Asian overcoat. Bator Dostum sits in the center chair of the stadium, the best seat in the house. Caption There are signs of 2014 at a buzkashi match: Cars line up by the field, spectators carry cellphones, and the incessant "cheerleaders" never seem to put down their megaphones. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a rodeo. But to Western eyes, the game looks like a time capsule from the days of Genghis Khan, when battle exercises were disguised as sport — fighting on horseback, grabbing the prize, breaking away. Back then, buzkashi was training for war. Today, buzkashi itself is the battle. A painting by Franz Roubaud depicts buzkashi in 1889, still relatively modern given the game's life span. (Hulton Fine Art Collection/Getty Images) Caption Beyond sport, buzkashi is a ritual, a ceremony — a test of strength, cunning and courage. For many young Afghan boys (it is still a man’s sport, on the field and in the stands), growing up to be a champion buzkashi rider, or chapandaz, is the stuff of dreams. But it's not for the faint of heart. The morning of the match, the goat is chosen and slaughtered in halal fashion. Calves are used in high-level matches because they are heavier — up to 100 pounds. The throat is slit and bleeds out. The animal is then decapitated and gutted. The hooves are cut off. The skin is stitched back together. Game time. A chapandaz exhibits nearly perfect form: Whip in mouth, he hoists the buz — or ball — under his right leg and steers the horse with his left arm. Caption Quick Guide: How To Play Well, it kind of depends on where you are. Even within Afghanistan the rules can vary. The game was standardized by the Afghan Olympic Federation, but that rarely matters. Here's the gist of the version we saw: The animal carcass is dropped at one end of the field. Horses scrum around the carcass as players fight to grab it. Whoever breaks away with the carcass must carry it around the marker across the field. And then drop the carcass back in the scoring circle. The game goes in rounds; which end when a goal is scored. The person who scored wins a cash prize, and another round begins. Eventually, after several goals, the announcer calls for the final round, when the big prize will be awarded. (The game we saw ended after two hours of play.) These days, buzkashi horsemen aren't so much warriors as they are professional athletes. Najibullah (the guy holding the wad of cash) was the star of the game — and like many Afghans goes by only one name. He is almost as famous as his o

Since a dream is made by your subconscious mind, it could indicate your thoughts, feelings or desires. In many cases, a dream shows that you are focusing on something for one reason or another. If you keep dreaming about the same person every night, it may be because you are concerned about them or worried.

Besides invading close to winter, what other mistakes did Napoleon make in his invasion of Russia?

A common misconception about this topic is that the invasion was started in or even close to the winter. The invasion was actually started in June, however the conflict was drawn out by the Russians using scorched earth tactics, such that the french were not able to complete the campaign before the winter.

Returning to London in 1666, Doolittle was one of the nonconformist ministers who, in defiance of the law, erected preaching-places when churches were lying in ruins after the Great Fire. His first meeting-house (probably a wooden structure) was in Bunhill Fields, and here he was undisturbed. But when he transferred his congregation to a large and substantial building which he had erected in Mugwell (now Monkwell) Street, the authorities set the law in motion against him. The Lord Mayor tried to persuade him to desist from preaching; he declined. On the following Saturday about midnight his door was broken open by a force sent to arrest him. He escaped over a wall, and intended to preach next day. From this he was dissuaded by his friends, one of whom (Thomas Sare, ejected from Rudford, Gloucestershire) took his place in the pulpit. The sermon was interrupted by the appearance of a body of troops. As the preacher stood his ground the officer told his men to fire.' 'Shoot, if you please,’ was the reply. There was uproar, but no arrests were made. The meeting-house, however, was taken possession of in the name of the king, and for some time was used as a Lord Mayor's chapel. On the indulgence of 15 March 1672 Doolittle took out a licence for his meeting-house. Doolittle owned the premises, but he now resided in Islington, where his school had developed into an academy for 'university learning.' When Charles II (8 March 1673) broke the seal of his declaration of indulgence, thus invalidating the licences granted under it, Doolittle conducted his academy with great caution at Wimbledon. At Wimbledon he had a narrow escape from arrest. He returned to Islington before 1680, but in 1683 was again dislodged. He moved to Battersea (where his goods were seized),

These migrations destroyed his academy, where his pupils had included Matthew Henry, Samuel Bury, Thomas Emlyn, and Edmund Calamy. Two of his students, John Kerr, M.D., and Thomas Rowe, achieved distinction as nonconformist tutors. The academy was at an end in 1687, when Doolittle lived at St. John's Court, Clerkenwell, and had Calamy

the store. He was postmaster 1902–1937. The settlement also had a school, jailhouse, and policeman, the latter serving the Indian Department. Prior to the establishment of Tofino in 1909, Clayoquot was the main settlement between Alberni Inlet and Quatsino Sound. After a 1908 fire, the hotel was rebuilt. Following a 1918 reoccurrence, the final structure was smaller, and served liquor from the 1920s. Major George Nicholson was the licensee. In 1937, Walter Dawley gifted the island to his daughter Madeleine and her husband Pierre Malon, who ran the business. In 1941, sisters Betty Farmer and Josephine Bridges bought the property. The Japanese residents permanently abandoned the island in 1942 on their relocation to internment camps for Japanese Canadians during World War II. Betty was the final postmaster 1947–1964. In her English garden, the introduced plants thrived in the warm wet climate. Later owners In 1964, Andrew Robertson's R & P Metals Corp bought the island, and a series of investors having ownership interests followed. The failure of subdevelopment proposals proved costly for some investors. In 1990, Susan Bloom purchased the one-kilometre-wide forested island, which is also known as Clayoquot Island.

that peninsular was later called Tofino. A former name being Port Cox, after John Henry Cox and Co, merchants of Canton, who sent two ships to the area in 1787, equally had a broader application. Early community Clayoquot was the first European settlement in the area. By 1855, Banfield and Frances Ltd. operated a trading post on Stubbs Island. In 1875, Captain Pinney established a store/trading post. Wood burning overnight in an elevated iron basket, at the end of the sandspit, produced a shipping beacon. Frederick Christian Thornberg ran the store, where a separate small window handled First Nations trading. An unsatisfactory range of merchandise for passing ships caused the business to fail. In 1890, Thomas Earle acquired the venture, but Thomas Stockham and Walter T. Dawley, who had operated a small post a mile away, assumed the management. J.L. Penney was the inaugural postmaster 1890–1893. Opened in 1898, the two-storey hotel was the first on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Affiliated with the Hudson's Bay Company, the store supplied company ships bound for the Bering Sea. Up to 16 schooners regularly moored by the island. From 1901, Clarence Dawley,
