"They can be used when the technology is right to repopulate the reefs," Dr Veron says. Now Dr Veron is at the heart of a bold plan to collect one of every species of coral on the Great Barrier Reef to create a coral biobank or "coral ark". There had to be a way of preserving the reef. There was elation, there was hope and there was inspiration. "This place is not done yet that is for sure." "It is incredible," Dr Veron said coming out of the water. There, among all the dead coral, they found a perfect living coral garden. He was in a state of depression about the degraded, dying reef when, four years ago, he joined a scientific expedition to the remote far northern Great Barrier Reef, a 1,000-kilometre stretch from Port Douglas to Cape York. Now, in places, it is silent, "like a tomb. All you can hear are the bubbles from your regulator".

That will depend on the particular character you’re working towards, but Maxi has a lot of good ideas on how to make realistic looking grips out of cheap toys and other household items. Of course, without a handle your sword is only half done. Image: it’s unclear if that is the same sword, the top right image at least gives an idea of what the end result would be like. Since were just looking at the tip of that one sword, you can get a sense of how huge it is. Maxi also provided a comparison of this sword with one he made using a cheap plastic paper holder. Maxi lightly sanded a wavy line along the edge to create the sword’s hamon, which is the line that indicates a change in the hardness of Japanese sword and knife blades. Image: already looking very impressive, but he wasn’t finished there. Image: then used some aluminum foil tape to give the blade the necessary shine. ![]() Image: give the sword tip a more realistic appearance he filled it out with some epoxy putty. The sword point was made simply by cutting along the edge. Image: all the materials were gathered, it was just a matter of putting the two floor transitions against each other and hold them together with the metal rail. He also purchased a metal track for sliding doors. Image: hardware store sold them at lengths of 1.82 meters (6 feet) for about 520 yen (US$5) each, but results may vary depending on the store. If you’re outside Japan this might be difficult to find and you’ll have to use your best judgment to find a comparable shape. They also come a in a range of shapes among which Maxi chose one modeled after the Japanese character for “he” (へ). The secret to Maxi’s super-long cosplay swords are floor transitions, which are long and thin strips that run along different types of flooring such as between carpet and linoleum. This technique comes to us through the tweets of cosplayer Maxi from Fukuoka, who’s never-ending search for low-cost cosplay solution had led him to the discovery. Sub-meter decorative swords just not cutting it for you? Try this method for legendary blades of up to 1.82 meters (6 feet) that won’t slice into your budget too much. ![]() Finally, I just never understood Li's machinations as Hatsumomo - she's so devious that she may as well be twirling a mustache, but she's never given any coherent motivation.ĭirector Rob Marshall rose to instant fame with his Best Picture Oscar winner And while I've liked Yeoh in just about everything else she's been in, here she is painted in such bland, broad strokes that she just fades into the art direction. The beautiful and talented Zhang does her best, but her Chiyo/Sayuri is such a doe-eyed innocent that she never comes off as more than a cipher. There is so much packed in to the story that the plot overwhelms all else and none of the film's three women are allowed to shine. Simply put, 'Memoirs of a Geisha' makes the same fatal mistake made by so many of the worst movie adaptations of great books - in attempting to pack 500-plus pages of dense narrative into two-and-a-half hours, it forgets that it was the book's three-dimensional rendering of its characters that made us care about its epic story in the first place. ![]() If this all sounds complicated, it is, and unfortunately it's to the film's detriment. Meanwhile, a rival geisha named Hatsumomo (Gong Li) becomes so jealous of Sayuri's imminent ascent to geisha mega-stardom that she'll do anything to get in the way, coming between Sayuri and her budding romances with both the handsome Chairman (Ken Watanabe), a charming businessman Sayuri has been in love with since childhood, and Nobu (Koji Yakusho), a former soldier badly wounded Within no time, the student seems poised overthrow the master, with Chiyo (now renamed Sayuri) threatening to unseat Memeha as Kyoto's reigning geisha. ![]() Sold into bondage by her widowed father, through a series of circumstances, Chiyo (Ziyi Zhang) eventually falls under the tutelage of Memeha (Michelle Yeoh), one of the most successful geishas in Kyoto. Based on the widely-acclaimed and best-selling 1997 novel by Arthur Golden, 'Memoirs of a Geisha' tells the sprawling tale of a Japanese girl named Chiyo.

He returns to Lovelace now determined to find out information about the fish shortage and wants to speak with the "aliens". Unfortunately, the elders see the penguins' antics and Noah banishes Mumble for not changing his ways. She doesn't fall for it and at first, rejects him, but when he dances to her heart-song, she realizes they are meant for each other, and many other penguins dance with them. Mumble tries to impress Gloria but he knows he can't sing, so Ramon hides behind Mumble and sings to Gloria. Mumble and the Amigos head to Emperor-Land where it is mating season. After asking many questions, and not having any answered, Lovelace decides to stop answering questions for the day. Lovelace has plastic rings from a six-pack-soda-can around his neck, which he claims the mystic beings gave to him. The Amigos advise him to talk to Lovelace, a guru penguin. After sliding down the icy mountain, the Amigos and Mumble fall into the ocean, where a piece of ice breaks off and releases a bull-dozer, which intrigues Mumble. The Amigos note, "This guy is so accidentally cool!" and jump after him. Mumble and the Amigos are walking and dancing when the piece of ice Mumble was dancing on breaks, and he falls down a steep mountain. He mistakenly assumed that the male penguin was going to eat it, until the Amigos told him it was a lovestone, for getting a mate. Mumble notices that some of the penguins there were carrying around rocks. Everyone was singing and dancing, and they use some of their newly learned tap dancing to impress some female penguins, to no avail. They taunted the leopard seal until he gave up and flopped away. He finds a group of penguins who call themselves the Amigos, who are led by Ramón. The leopard seal chases him, and he eventually ends up where the Adélie Penguins live. The next day, Mumble is sleeping on an ice float, initially, he thought it was his friends, until he started being chased by a leopard seal. His out-of-tune singing, causes the other penguins to chuck him out. Intrigued by the thought of aliens and worlds beyond his own, Mumble becomes lost in his imagination instead of paying attention in school.Īt the graduation party, Mumble's friend Gloria sings " Somebody to Love" for everyone, but Mumble gets so caught up with the music, that he himself tries to sing. He is discovered by and escapes from a group of hungry skuas, one of which who claims to have been abducted by aliens. Having his dancing being looked down upon, Mumble finds a place to dance where no one can see him. But a defiant Memphis objects, saying that their son will grow up to be normal after strengthening his "singing muscles". As a result, Mumble is teased, and his mother worries that he will never find a mate and spend his life alone. In fact, he has a terrible singing voice, which does not improve despite him being sent to Mrs. While Mumble attends school, he is discovered to be lacking a Heartsong, which is said to be very important for being a proper penguin. Mumble is shown to be an excellent dancer from the moment he hatches, though everyone fails to see this and assume that there is something wrong with his feet. Two feet break from the egg and as they begin to walk off down a snow bank, Gloria playfully addresses the egg as "Mr. Gloria spots the egg, taps on it and hears a response from inside. A friend of his, Maurice, comes by with his daughter, Gloria, to see what had happened. Memphis worries when his egg does not hatch when the other penguin`s eggs do. This event may contribute to his different mannerisms later on in the film. During his incubation, he is dropped and briefly exposed to the environment's sub-zero temperatures, before being picked back up. Mumble is first seen as an egg, which is handed off to Memphis by Norma Jean. He is unique in that he is the only emperor penguin to not have a heartsong until the end, and the first to be able to tap dance and Happy Feet. ![]() He is a male emperor penguin who is the son of Memphis and Norma Jean, the husband of Gloria, and the father of Erik. Mumble is the main protagonist of Happy Feet and the deuteragonist of Happy Feet Two. " Come on, let's shake this world!" ―Mumble ![]() ![]() I've been in similar situations involving other programs.Īll that being said, I would disagree with the conclusion that Captivate is a bad program. Dare I suggest that it may even go a bit deeper into some registry settings that a simple uninstall may not necessarily correct? It really sucks. Though I do not have an answer for you - I do think the suggestion that there is some sort of driver conflict between multiple screen capture tools is a reasonable one. While I have not responded to any of the threads up until now - I have been watching them and I can appreciate your frustration with a specced out rig that should more than accommodate your needs and still having issues. I prefer Camtasia over Captivate when it comes to screen capture needs but Captivate excels when I need to create interactive experiences. Both programs are a huge part of my toolbox.

It is not reasonable for an Adobe Technician to sugges a user start disasembling their system and rolling back Windows updates to try and fix the software. I am just being honest and stating facts. Not doing what I want it to do? Are you serious? And I am not insulting anyone, but you are insulting me. Please stop losing your and our precious time. It is rather insulting for them, who do spend free time to help other Captivate users. I have seen people trying to help you in previous threads. In only a small portion of my jobs do I need Vidieo Demo. Video Demo is OK, Camtasia is better for that specific use. I create Video Demo with Captivate, not having the conflict in your system probably. That doesn't mean that I will not use Photoshop for other goals, it is my favourite application for all bitmap images, and to create avatars for Character animator.īecause Captivate is not doing what you want, doesn't mean that it is a bad application, but that you did choose the wrong tool for your goal. I will not use Animate for creating high quality audio, but Audition. I will not use Photoshop for high quality video editing, but use Premiere Pro. I will not use Photoshop to create a poster which needs to be printed in high quality, but use InDesign. Do not judge a tool if you didn't explore that tool.

This type of pro forma projection looks at the past financial statements of your business, plus the past financial statements of a business you want to buy.

This is because GAAP compliant reports must be based on historical information. Since pro forma statements deal with potential outcomes, they’re not considered GAAP compliant. As in, “What if my business got a $50,000 loan next year?” Your pro forma statements for that scenario would show what your income, account balances, and cash flow would look like with a $50,000 loan.
