Where the other early Disney features were the work of a new generation of animators who would later be known as Disney’s Nine Old Men, Dumbo was a last hurrah for the old guard, animators whose pioneering work on Disney’s Silly Symphonies had helped to develop animation as an art form, and who paved the way for the feature animation period, but didn’t really belong to that period.

The album sleeve depicted a witchy-looking woman holding a black cat in a supernatural world, and the music inside delivered on the cover’s mysteriousness. record stores in February 1970 - on a Friday the 13th to capitalize on the album’s unsettling look and sound - it showed the world what “heavy” really meant. When their debut album, Black Sabbath, hit U.K. The six-minute horror vignette was spooky yet thrilling, and the song, “Black Sabbath,” would serve as the prototype for a genre poised to captivate the world.Īrtists like Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and Led Zeppelin had spent the late Sixties edging into darker, denser terrain, but it was Black Sabbath who made heavy a way of life. “Is this the end, my friend?” he wonders aloud. The guitar chords lurch seismically, each one like a gut punch before quieting down just enough for Ozzy Osbourne to paint his own vivid portrait of fear - “What is this that stands before me/Figure in black which points at me?” It’s a scene so unnerving that he eventually pleads to the heavens, “Oh, no, NO, please God help me,” before the guitar riff and church bells come around again to strike him down. The song opens with the sound of a powerful thunderstorm and ominous church chimes before crashing into its lumbering, iconic riff. Half a century has passed since Black Sabbath first scared the bejesus out of rock fans with their eponymous anthem. We all hope that the departed soul rests in peace as it takes off for the final journey to the heavenly abode. However, a proper goodbye is what makes things a little bit easier on you. I prefer for people not to start conversations with me when I’m focused like that because it’s hard to snap out of it and if I try I just come off as not all there rather than sharp.Have you Lost Someone You Loved the Most? CustomOneOnline is Sorry for Your Loss and helps you say a Proper goodbye with our Custom RIP T-Shirts. I definitely am much of the time, like if I’m actively having a conversation which I started, but sometimes I’m zoned out and not interested in my surroundings. I often find myself trying to put on a nice tone of voice, for example, when saying “excuse me”, and it comes across as rude instead. It’s like it’s not natural to me so it’s an active mental process and I fail at it often. So when I have to record something for others to listen to, I put on a soft feminine flowy voice that I kind of imitate from hearing my mom (who is actually probably a head type with nervous energy, but she is more charismatic - maybe a 6w7). It’s like I put stress and emphasis where there should be none, and I don’t use appropriate inflection in places where it should be. I have to listen to recordings of my own voice for work sometimes and I’m often surprised at how my voice sounds. I would describe my speaking style as kind of ping-ponging, tangential, or it can be very direct and decisive. ![]() ![]() Could also use some natural language processing libraries and get some semantic data that way. I studied speech and hearing science in college so I wonder if I can get my speech analysis software out and get some data… that would be an interesting project. Speech and voice is pretty interesting to me. I’ve been told I have “head type energy” when speaking. (This is mostly my experience as a 6, the reactive one, but I have seen it in 7s and 5s, especially under stress) Reminiscent, far away, anecdotal, either overly emotional or overly dry, softer, honest, point out the "elephant in the room" (4s especially), very positive or very negative.Īnxious, fluctuating, quick then suddenly silent, thinking extensively before speaking or throwing out ideas erratically, two extremes, oversharing then withdrawing, trying to hide or run from their anxiety, or succumbing to it.

For the string, just tie a loop in each end and make it so it looks just on the long side of the right length. Drill holes and screw the bow into the notch in the stock. File a notch into the limb tips for the string to catch on (called knocks). Then cut / sand the now flattened limb tips into a roughly parabolic shape and smooth out the edges with sand paper. Heat the center 1.5" wide section of the pipe and bend the bow limbs (each half of the pipe) slightly back and upward. Be sure that when you press it the pipe is rotated so that the part that was wider from being pressed between the 2x4s is the part that becomes flat. The end of the pipe should be completely closed after this pressing. Heat the 3" long sections on both ends of the pipe (one at a time) and press them as shown in picture 6. ![]() Once you have done that squirt some hot glue into both ends of the pipe, this will be a filler. Use clamps to push the 2x4s firmly together. 5/8" thick wood spacers should be placed between the 2x4s alongside the pvc pipe to control the final thickness of the pressed pipe. We are going to heat it until it gets soft** then press it between two 2x4 boards. Now you need the 22" long piece of 1/2" sch 40 pvc pipe with the markings on it as shown on the plans. Position it so it starts at the front edge of the arrow trough, is running lengthwise centered side to side. Cut about 10" of it and glue that 10" piece to the bottom of the arrow trough. Cut or sand a 5/16 or 3/8" dowel in half lengthwise, so it is flat on one side. Glue the arrow trough on to the bottom of the magazine walls. The front-to-back line is the trough the arrows ride in, and the side to side line is a notch that catches the bow string. Carve grooves along those lines with a dremmel sanding wheel. There is one line going crossways on the board 12" back from the front (the end without the 1/4" hole is the front), and a line down the center from the front all the way back to the 12" line. Then mark the lines shown in picture 6 on the arrow trough. Once it is dry, sand it so all the layers line up smoothly without rough or uneven edges. Clamp these together or stack weights on them while the glue dries. Then line up the magazine walls and spacers and glue them together (see pictures for position if it is not obvious to you). Sand the bottom edge of the front magazine spacer ("L" shaped one) so it is rounded concave. For this step you will also need white glue, clamps (or weights), and idealy a dremmel tool or similar rotary sanding tool (but a round file, knife, or even coarse sand paper can work). Get all the magazine parts (on the plans they are labeled magazine walls, magazine spacers, and arrow trough. Sheelal's closest comrade was a fellow Kaleesh warrior and mercenary Ronderu lij Kummar. By the age of twenty-two, he had slain so many Huk that the Kaleesh people considered Sheelal a demigod. The young Sheelal proved himself an excellent marksman with a mind as finely honed as any weapon by eight years of age he had already become an expert sniper with more than forty Huk kills to his credit. Sheelal's father, seeking a useful outlet for his son's anger, taught him how to handle a slugthrower rifle. The conflict between the two species was known as the Huk War. For generations, Kalee had been assaulted without respite by a technologically superior insectoid species, the Yam'rii (referred to by the Kaleesh as the "Huk" or "soulless bugs"), who coveted the Kaleesh as slaves. ![]() Qymaen jai Sheelal was born by 60 BBY as an organic Kaleesh, a reptilian native of Kalee, a world torn by famine and war.

" And judging from the cloak we found, you are a Kaleesh General, are you not?" ―San Hill, to Grievous However, the droid was killed shortly after his creation by several spacers. At some point after Grievous's death, his body was used to create the droid warrior N-K Necrosis, who considered himself to be the reincarnation of Grievous. Grievous was killed shortly after in the Battle of Utapau by Kenobi, and the Confederacy fell soon after. Grievous fled to the Outer Rim world of Utapau and attempted to regain control of the war, though the Confederacy had been dealt a great blow with the loss of Dooku. However, before the general's flagship, Invisible Hand, could jump to hyperspace, the Republic Navy arrived, and the Chancellor was freed by Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, the latter of whom was also successful in killing Dooku. Grievous killed several Jedi and took Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, leader of the Republic, hostage. In 19 BBY, Grievous led the Confederate Navy in the Battle of Coruscant, an attack on the Republic's capital. Quickly gaining a reputation as a savage, merciless brute as well as a tactical genius, the cyborg, despite earning the nickname the " head clanker," struck fear into the hearts of many with his flagship, the ion cannon–armed Malevolence, as well as Operation Durge's Lance, a massive strike at the Core Worlds. Aided by his IG-100 MagnaGuards, Grievous killed many Jedi, and led the Confederacy to victory in many battles. Grievous was a quick study and eventually came to be recognized as one of the most skilled duelists in the galaxy. The general was trained in the art of lightsaber combat by Dooku himself, who was also a Sith Lord. Grievous was reconstructed as a cyborg and was presented to Dooku as a potential weapon to be used in the upcoming war that the count had planned against the Republic.Īfter being made Supreme Commander, Grievous proceeded to wreak havoc on the Republic for the three-year–span of the Clone Wars. The Kaleesh was critically injured, but lived, and Hill arranged for the final stage of his plan. IGBC Chairman San Hill, after consulting with his ally, Separatist Head of State Count Dooku, arranged for a bomb to be placed on Grievous' shuttle, Martyr. However, after learning that the Huk had attacked Kalee, he headed home to gain vengeance. The Huk turned to the Galactic Republic for help, and the Kaleesh were forced back to their own world by the Jedi and left to starve.ĭesperate to help his people, Grievous took a job as an enforcer with the InterGalactic Banking Clan. Aided by his elite, he forced the Huk off Kalee and then swarmed their homeworld, conquering them. Heartbroken, Sheelal renamed himself Grievous and turned all his anger and grief toward the Huk. ![]() The two became very close before Kummar's death at the hands of the Huk. He eventually met the female Kaleesh Ronderu lij Kummar, a master with the sword. Quickly amassing a great number of Huk kills, he soon became seen as a demigod among his people. During the Kaleesh conflict against the Huk, Sheelal quickly learned the art of war, specializing in a slugthrower rifle. Grievous was originally a Kaleesh from the planet Kalee, where he lived his early life. Grievous, born Qymaen jai Sheelal, was the cyborg Supreme Commander of the Droid Army of the Confederacy of Independent Systems for most of the Clone Wars.
