In the poem Alvíssmál(‘The Song of All-Wise’) in the Poetic Edda, the Norse god of thunder Thor outwits the dwarf Alviss by purposely keeping him up all night until dawn at which point Alviss turned into stone.īoth the Poetic Edda and Prose Edda describe dwarfs as having the tendency to act in a brut and vengeful manner, even sometimes acting in a murderous and sexually devious manner. When compared to the Aesir and Vanir races of gods, the dwarfs are behind in terms of trickery, wisdom, and spiritual enlightenment. According to early Norse myths, they were often made small and ugly thereby making them inferior to other powerful beings in the nine realms. The shape that the Aesir gods gave to the dwarfs was a very peculiar one – they were made extremely short with a dark skin and a long beard. gold-laden mines and halls – had some of the most precious materials in all the nine realms. Additionally, the Aesir bestowed upon them a very high level of intelligence, in some cases, even higher than some of the Aesir gods.ĭwarfs in Norse Mythology | Dwarfs in Norse mythology were said to be pitch-black skin creatures who live underground in a place called Svartalfheim. Disgusted by their looks, the Aesir gods transformed them into a more human form. They were basically born without any distinguishable form or any iota of intelligence. In Gylfaginning– the first part of the Prose Edda – the dwarfs are said to have emerged from the decomposing corpse of Ymir, the first frost giant. Symbols: gold, precious gems and metals, hammers, forges, bellows, anvils Origins Most famous for: Wisdom, smithing, mining, crafting, and healing abilitiesĪppearance: Short, hairy, quick-tempered, and sometimes ugly Other names: Fullangr (in Old Norse), Hár (in Old Norse), Dweorg (in Anglo-Saxon), Svartalf (black elf), Twerg, Dvergr, DvergarĪbode: Reside in the mountains and in caves deep in the earth Image: Two dwarfs as depicted in a 19th-century edition of the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá (1895) by Lorenz Frølich. For example, in the Poetic Edda poem Völuspá, dwarfs emerged as maggots from the flesh of the first frost giant Brimir (also known as Ymir). The Poetic Edda (a 13th century compilation of Norse poems and myths) and the Icelandic poet Snorri Sturluson’s Prose Edda have different origin stories of dwarfs in Norse mythology. Remember to brush regularly, clean between your teeth, eat a balanced diet, and schedule regular dental visits to help keep your smile healthy. You don't have to lose teeth to periodontal disease, and by practicing good oral hygiene at home, you can significantly reduce your chances of ever getting gum disease. Regular dental checkups and periodontal examinations are important for maintaining your health and the health of your smile. In cases without improvement, a referral to a periodontist or gum specialist is sometimes needed. Periodontal disease is also sometimes treated with antibiotics that are placed below the gums and by special gum rinses. With this treatment, the patient is typically numbed with local anesthesia so that the hygienist or dentist can thouroughly clean below the gum surface. The first step in treating periodontal disease is a treatment called scaling and root planing. Treatments for gum disease can vary depending on the severity of each individual case.
This isn’t a time for sadness, it’s a time for celebration.” “I recommend for anyone who has ever lost someone to create an altar. “It’s an important part of my culture, and I wanted a way to remember family members and friends who are no longer with us,” he says. Not too long ago, creating altars was something predominately done by older members of a community, however López Fértor says that he’s noticing members of the younger generation, including himself, are taking part to help keep the tradition alive. Like many holidays, modern observances of Día de los Muertos have evolved over time. The creation of altars has been an important part of Día de los Muertos, a festival whose origins are deeply rooted in Aztec beliefs and tied to the goddess Mictecacihuatl, also known as the “Lady of the Dead.” Over the centuries, the holiday became more intertwined with Catholic traditions and shortened from a month-long event to a celebration that’s held in Mexico on November 1 (All Saints’ Day, which celebrates children who have died) and November 2 (All Souls’ Day, which celebrates adults). “I remember as a child every year my mom would make an altar, so when I started living alone a few years ago, I wanted to do the same thing.” “It’s really important to my family and I that we make an altar to remember relatives who have died,” López Fértor says. As he shows me the altar, which he and his roommate have decorated with bright orange marigolds, painted skulls, flickering candles, bottles of tequila and colorful paper cutouts, he points out photographs of his grandfather, grandmother and family friends who are no longer with us. Every year for the past four years, he has created an altar inside his home to celebrate and remember the lives of friends and relatives who have passed. While many people might view death as a time filled with sadness and grief, for 30-year-old López Fértor, it’s a moment for celebration. Inside he has set up an elaborate altar ( ofrenda) in preparation for Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, a multi-day holiday celebrated throughout Mexico and parts of Latin America that honors loved ones who have died. Light envelops the foyer inside Alfonso López Fértor’s home in Guadalajara, Mexico, filling the space with a warm, welcoming glow. So we need a way to convert the CUBE LUT data directly to HALD format. What is OCIOLutTransform? Is that code available? What is it? Is that code available?įor imagemagick purposes, we do not have any mechanism to apply the CUBE LUT to a HALD image, such as OCIOLutTransform node, as far as I know. ImageMagick does not have OCIOLutTransform node, as far as I know. Hoping to feature request it into Imagemagick to support 3DLuts. Applying the HALD LUT is built into a lot of my conversion commands. However if that does not do the trick, will rewrite the function attempting to pick through the LUT data and cherry-pick colors to force what possible data in the LUT into one of the required sizes. Getting ready to go back and have it draw the LUT-HALD at 256x128 to see whether that does the trick.Ĭurrently the thought is applying all the 3DLut values. 32768 is not square-rootable, so can't really turn it into a square. However that creates a psychodelic image. The current status of the little function creates a HALD image that is 128x256 to cover the LUT entries. Or does it? Do they need to match one of the exact HALD resolutions? It doesn't seem that a HALD necessarily needs to be a square. cube/3DLut generally has 32768 color entries. Just for mental brainstorming and part of the trial and error. exr HALD file.īy creating creating magick commands to draw the specified 3DLut color per pixel it seems to be starting to come together. Then taking it into your compositing app of your choice, applying the LUT (.cube) via an OCIOLutTransform node, then saving the HALD file out as desired for what the LUT it represents.Ĭurrently am trial and erroring to create a script/app to directly covert the. Magick.exe convert hald:4 -depth 16 C:\temp\identy_hald.exr How they are being created now is by taking an identiy HALD. Will see about adding that to the developers post This is a link that mentions several of the commonly used ones. They are usually simple ascii text files allowing for 1D and 3D color transforms. The data formats mentioned are not images. PNG does not support below 0 or above 1.0.Īlso you bring up a good point, what if it is not just the color range that needs matched, but the range also. However in order to process the data and keep everything matched, the same is needed. However more and more often encounter instances where color transforms (LUT/CDL) are done oddly, or over-done, pushing colors over (1.0+) or under (negative) in one color transform, then back into acceptable range with another. png HALDs to do the color conversions of Log colorspace to linear or the desired sRGB/rec709 viewing colors. exr files and the full 32 bit HDR version of IM.Ĭommonly have used. And to be fair have not had a breath to explore using. The second part of the response asks for a description. cc) (Color Decision List), that are XML data files of color transforms, would think doing the same with their LUT counter-parts would be an of-course. Since Imagemagick supports CDL files (.cdl. Basically the non-image version of a HALD CLUT file. Unsure of the note here, but just in t is a "Look Up Table". If any of those formats are valid image formats, then a suffix (.lut etc) isn't sufficient.

Best of all, the Ute Limited aluminum flatbeds offer storage and side panels that are very easy to install and remove. You can even order one direct from a GM dealer. With Ute Limited flat beds, you can get an aluminum flat bed at a very reasonable price. One of the biggest consumer misperceptions is that flatbeds are expensive. Rex: The US market is still in the learning phase with flat bed campers. TCM: Why do you believe the domestic market is finally ready for flatbed campers? The customer can take it wherever they want to take it, hot or cold. That’s the great thing about our product. He was like a cheerleader who got exactly what he wanted. Just a little while ago I had a customer clapping his hands and jumping up and down at the insulation factor of his new camper. In the roof, we have the Celotex fitted and then overlay AstroFoil, a reflective radiant foil insulation, before we deck the roof in 5/8” lite ply plywood. We use Celotex R7 extruded foam insulation for the whole body of the American Hero. There are a lot of tall people in the United States, in fact I’m talking to one right now. The American Hero also has taller shower compartments. It has a taller side wall which allows for a larger refrigerator and more overhead storage in the cabover above the side windows. The American Hero is blown up a little bit in size with a 7’10” width and a 6’8” interior height. Is the Escape Pod 900 related to the American Hero? TCM: When we were at the Northstar factory this past June, there was an Escape Pod 900 being framed. Through our research and development, we arrived at something that’s wider than any other Northstar camper that we’ve ever produced, the American Hero. Customer call after customer call came to us asking, “Will you build us a bigger Escape Pod?” Well, I don’t have to be asked too many times. Rex: We learned rapidly that people liked the concept of the Escape Pod, but wanted a bigger version. What has Northstar learned from bringing the Escape Pod to market? TCM: Before we talk about the Northstar American Hero, let’s talk about the Escape Pod, Northstar’s first domestic flatbed camper. The following is an interview with Rex Willett, President of Northstar Campers, on the Northstar American Hero. The MSRP for the 2011 Northstar American Hero is $22,470. The camper accommodates two batteries and two twenty-pound propane tanks. The tanks in the 2011 Northstar American Hero are 30 gallons fresh, 14 gallons gray, and 5 gallons black (cassette toilet). Northstar is reporting the dry weight of the camper at 2,460 pounds without options. The interior floor length of the 2011 Northstar American Hero is 9’ and the interior height is 6’ 8”. The 2011 Northstar American Hero flatbed is a hard side, non-slide, rear wet bath truck camper. Meet the American Hero.Ģ011 Northstar American Hero Specifications Two years in the making, here’s what Rex believes you’ve been asking for. Through the recession, Rex gathered notes, drew on napkins, and made plans for what we’re debuting today. People loved the concept of a flatbed, but Americans wanted a bigger camper on a bigger truck. Recession aside, the domestic feedback Rex received on the Escape Pod was clear. If it was good enough for Oz, shouldn’t it be good enough for US? In fact, it was the run away success of the Escape Pod in Australia that spurred Rex to debut the camper here in the United States. We even featured a 2008 Escape Pod exploring the Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia in our 2009 Truck Camper Magazine Calendar. Down under the Escape Pod had been a hit for many years and sold like pancakes straight through the recession. Whatever the case may be, the Escape Pod did not sell as well as Rex had hoped, at least not in the United States.Īustralia is a whole different story. Maybe the Escape Pod was ahead of it’s time. Unfortunately, the Escape Pod was making it’s debut in the middle of the worst recession any of us had ever seen. Rex brought the Escape Pod and a Colorado to the show and raised interest and eyebrows for three days straight. We were at Louisville in 2008 when this brand new concept met the RV industry. Two years ago, Northstar debuted the Escape Pod, a fully self-contained flatbed truck camper designed specifically for the Chevrolet Colorado with an aluminum Ute flatbed. Rex Willett, Vice President of Northstar Campers, would probably agree. “Wheel wells – huh, yeah! What are they good for? Absolutely nothing!” If American soul music singer Edwin Starr had been a truck camper, perhaps his #1 1970 Motown hit, ‘War’ would have had slightly different lyrics… Look out wheel wells! Here comes the Northstar American Hero flatbed camper. Northstar Campers debuts the first production full-size flatbed truck camper.

Thank you for your continued support of our high school graduates! Please note that this change DOES NOT affect the upcoming graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2018. Each high school will provide details for its Class of 2019 as they become available. More details, including times of individual high school graduation ceremonies on May 25, 2019, will be available on the district website before the end of the current school year. Therefore, it is important to give families of the Class of 2019 more than a year’s notice of the changes. We understand this is a change in tradition for LPS. more convenient for out-of-town family members to travel to attend a Saturday ceremony.fewer athletic schedule conflicts and national testing day conflicts for our graduates.ample parking is available for all attendees.high schools will not have to limit the number of attendees due to limited seating.alleviates concerns about heat, lightning, rain or snow.Moving graduation to a large, indoor venue on a Saturday offers many benefits to families: These concerns in LPS include annual worries that rain and lightning would force graduation to move inside a high school gym and severely limit the number of family members who could attend, the lack of adequate parking at the LPS Stadium, over-capacity crowds and safety. Many school districts choose to hold graduation ceremonies indoors on a Saturday because they share similar concerns. The decision to move to a Saturday graduation indoors follows a year of conversation and inquiry. LPS is pleased to announce that beginning with the Class of 2019, Arapahoe, Heritage and Littleton high schools will hold separate graduation ceremonies at different times on the same Saturday at the Ritchie Center on the University of Denver Campus. The revised calendar shows the change in graduation date for Heritage, Arapahoe and Littleton to Saturday, May 25, 2019. The previous calendar showed Heritage graduation May 22, 2019, Arapahoe graduation and Littleton graduation May 24, 2019. Last night, the LPS Board of Education approved a revised school year calendar for the 2018-2019 school year that reflects a change in graduation dates for May, 2019. |
