As a trend, movies have been getting longer, so the return of the intermission seems a fair compromise between consumer comfort and an overlong stay in a theater seat. The distributors are now contacting theaters to limit this practice as much as possible, despite it being celebrated by some moviegoers. You can probably see where this is going – theater chains across the world provided an intermission against the will of the movie’s distributors. ![]() So, it is in fact a violation of distribution agreements for theaters to insert an intermission where one isn’t intended. Instead, the film plays uninterrupted for three and a half hours, which is the creative will of Scorsese and his distributors, Paramount Pictures and Apple Original Films. This means there wasn’t a natural break in action during the movie, where it would be agreed that theaters present an intermission. When Killers of the Flower Moon hit movie theaters, it came without an intermission. Scorsese’s movie is based on the book by David Grann, opting to portray the book with ruthless 1:1 accuracy, and that’s where its length comes from. As part of this struggle, Leonardo DiCaprio’s Ernest Burkhart is recruited into the schemes of his uncle, Robert De Niro’s William King Hale. Based in Oklahoma, the tribe suffered a string of crimes against them after becoming freshly rich from oil on their land, sparking a secret war that was overlooked by the authorities. Killers of the Flower Moon is a very long movie and traditionally, longer movies used to come with an intermission break.įor those who don’t know, Killers of the Flower Moon follows the real story of the Osage Nation during the 1920s. Some of those expectations are reasonable, however. On-demand entertainment has been available to consumers for decades now, and it seems to have influenced the moviegoer’s expectations and tolerance of longer media. The result is an industry that offers hundreds of bingo games, all with different themes and art styles, available at the same bingo games site. Take online casinos as another example, which use the old bingo formula with a digital twist. The internet is responsible for a lot of these changes – it houses a plethora of entertainment that’s available instantaneously. For example, Netflix changed the game for shows and movies with its video streaming on-demand. So, we should first understand that modern moviegoers are surrounded by real-time content. ![]() ![]() The intermission debate seems to boil down to a generational clash, between the old and new ways of consuming entertainment media. Theatre experience versus on-demand content This is what she said, in an interview with the Standard. That’s a violation so I have to find out about it”. Martin Scorsese’s editor and long-time collaborator Thelma Schoonmaker said, “I understand that somebody’s running with an intermission which is not right. What followed was a debate between the movie studio and theater chains, with the moviegoers caught in the middle. Like The Irishman (2019), Killers of the Flower Moon was one of his longest projects yet – 206 minutes, or a brisk three and a half hours long. In the fall of 2023, Martin Scorsese’s latest movie hit the silver screen across theatres all over the world.

![]() They feel chef-y, make your food look pretty, and help you ensure everything cooks at an even, predictable rate. Mandoline slicers are also just plain fun to use. ![]() Make prettier charcuterie boards: You can use a mandoline to slice salami (or any firm sausage or salumi) into pleasing slices that look pretty on a board, but my favourite meat to mandoline is the dried out steak, which slices into pretty little petals that melt into a soft scramble and sit pretty on crostini.Slice crumbly cheeses: Aged cheddars and other crystal-flecked beauties can crumble under the pressure of a knife, but a mandoline turns out thin, deli-worthy slices.In addition to the classic potato chip, you can use your slicer to turn any root vegetable (and some squashes) into a chip, or prep fruit for the dehydrator. Make your own chips, be they potato or apple: I’m not saying you can’t use a knife to slice potatoes as thinly as Frito-Lay, but you can do it a lot faster and more consistently with a mandoline.Pickle uniformly: Whether you’re pickling onions or cucumbers, slicing them with a mandoline will ensure even thickness from slice to slice, so each one pickles at the same rate.Uniformity may not seem like such a big deal when you’re tossing everything into a big mixing bowl, but accurate slicing means each piece is coated with an even amount of dressing, which translates to a uniform texture and flavour. A mandoline lets you slice cucumbers into paper thin ribbons, shred cabbage for slaw, and - depending on the available attachments - cut potatoes into perfect cubes for potato salad. Make tastier salads and slaws: I cannot not abide a salad bowl filled with uneven chunks of vegetables.And don’t forget the fruits: A thinly sliced pear or apple is absolutely heavenly on a brie-based grilled cheese. Bonus: You’ll shed fewer onion related tears, as the slicer is faster and sharper than most knives, and less exposure time and cleaner cuts means less syn-Propanethial-S-oxide (the compound responsible for your tears) is released into the air. You can accomplish both with a mandoline. Build better a better submarine (sandwich): Making a good sandwich is all about balancing flavour and texture, which is why I like my lettuce shredded and my onions sliced paper thin.Here are some of my favourite uses for the tool, in no particular order: Slicing vegetables before cooking is the most obvious use for the mandoline slicer, but once you have one in hand, you’ll find yourself slicing and dicing all sorts of foods. Creative ways to use a mandoline slicer Photo: Claire Lower In addition to wearing the proper PPE, there are other steps you can take to cut down the risk of injury, like making sure the slicer is stable, cutting your food into manageable portions before slicing, and keeping the blade sharp (dull blades require more force to cut, and that’s often where you run into trouble). ![]() If your mandoline comes with a guard, use it, but otherwise: Get a protective glove and put it on your hand. To use the slicer, you slide the food down the plastic ramp and over the blade, which, depending on the blade you’re using, cuts the vegetable into a paper thin slice, a julienned matchstick, or - in some cases - a waffle fry.īut if your hand slips on the slide, and you aren’t using a guard or wearing a cut-resistant glove, you can wind up with a horrific injury. These blades are housed in a plastic frame, and it kind of looks like the world’s most painful plastic slide. Mandoline slicers come in many different shapes and sizes, but they all have one thing in common: extremely sharp blades. Not only will your sandwiches, salads, and side dishes look more polished, but they will taste better, resulting in you eating more vegetables (and perhaps a few more fruits, as well). And while everyone should take the time to learn basic knife cuts, a mandoline can help you achieve professional looking slices, matchsticks, and cubes much more quickly. Uniform cuts look professional, but they also ensure ingredients cook at the same rate and are seasoned or dressed evenly, with each slice of zucchini or cube of potato receiving the same amount of love. One of the easiest ways to tell a real-deal chef from an amateur is to look at their slicing and dicing. ![]()
![]() ![]() This is due to the effects on the vagus nerve, which is involved in regulating heart rate and blood pressure. On top of that, weighted blankets have specifically been shown to decrease the activity in the nervous system. Weighted Blankets Reduce Activity in the Nervous System This can lead to an improved mood, more efficient sleep, and feeling better physically. High levels of cortisol are associated with high levels of stress and the use of a weighted blanket can actually decrease these stress hormones in the body. Cortisol is a hormone that regulates stress responses in the body. In addition to increasing serotonin levels, DTP has also been found to reduce cortisol levels in the body. Decreased Cortisol for Improved Stress Levels This ultimately has a calming effect on the body. Serotonin is a chemical in the body that works in conjunction with other hormones to decrease blood pressure, heart rate, anxiety, and regulate mood. One of the reasons why DTP works is because it has been shown to increase serotonin in the body. Increased Serotonin For Improved Calmness Here are a couple of science-backed benefits of DTP. It can be accomplished through weighted blankets, weighted compression vests, weighted lap pads or stuffed animals, massages, or even hugs! It’s called Deep Touch Pressure or DTP.ĭTP is simply a gentle, distributed pressure on the body. There is an underlying science behind weighted blankets. Weighted Blankets for Anxiety: The Science of Why They Work Also, even a big hug has similar effects to what weighted blankets can do. By this, I mean that often times people will put a lot of blankets on themselves to get a designed “heavy” feeling. While you may not have ever used a weighted blanket, there’s a chance you have already noticed the benefits of what a weighted blanket can do. We cover more on how to find the right weighted blanket at the end of the article. They are also made differently by different companies.ĭepending on your needs, you’ll want to get a weighted blanket that suits you. They can come in a variety of weights and sizes. What is a Weighted Blanket?Ī weighted blanket is a specific blanket that is designed to be heavier than a regular blanket. However, anxiety and sleeping problems are issues that weighted blankets can make a big impact on as well.īefore we dive into the research regarding weighted blankets and anxiety, let’s take a quick look at what a weighted blanket is, in case you are new to them. Weighted blankets have typically been used for those with special needs, like autism, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder. Heavy blankets have actually been used for a while, but are finally getting a larger notice because of the impact they can have on people, specifically children and adults with high anxiety levels and anxiety disorders. Weighted blankets have exploded in popularity in the last couple of years. ![]() ![]() ![]() When an emf is generated by a change in magnetic flux according to Faraday’s Law, the polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change which produces it. In the animation above the ammeter (the instrument used to measure current) indicates when there is current in the conductor. The direction that the induced current flows is determined by the direction of the lines of force and by the direction the wire is moving in the field. One requirement for this electromagnetic induction to take place is that the conductor, which is often a piece of wire, must be perpendicular to the magnetic lines of force in order to produce the maximum force on the free electrons. ![]() The current is said to be induced in the conductor by the magnetic field. This is called induction because there is no physical connection between the conductor and the magnet. This process of generating current in a conductor by placing the conductor in a changing magnetic field is called induction. is only produced while the flux is changing.įor example, consider two coils as shown in Following Figure.Ĭurrent is produced in a conductor when it is moved through a magnetic field because the magnetic lines of force are applying a force on the free electrons in the conductor and causing them to move. (b) By changing the magnitude of the source of magnetic flux. (a) moving the coil or the source of flux relative to each other or This effect was first observed and explained by Ampere and Faraday between 18. If magnetic flux through a coil is altered then an e.m.f. Around 1830 to 1832, Joseph Henry made a similar discovery, but did not publish his findings until later. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831 though it may have been anticipated by the work of Francesco Zantedeschi in 1829. This process of electromagnetic induction, in turn, causes an electrical current, it is said to induce the current. unit is the weber (Wb).Įlectromagnetic induction (or sometimes just induction) is a process where a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field (or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field) causes the production of a voltage across the conductor. Magnetic Flux is defined as the product of the magnetic flux density and the area normal to the field through which the field is passing. Induction can produce electricity (in coils), heat (in ferrous metals), or waves (in a radio transmitter).įinally, it is referring to the phenomenon where an emf is induced when the magnetic flux linking a conductor change. Electromagnetic induction is when an electromagnetic field causes molecules in another object to flow. This process of generating current in a conductor by placing the conductor in a changing magnetic field is called induction.Įlectromagnetic induction is the production of a potential difference (voltage) across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. Consequently, the induced emf has the polarity shown and drives in the direction of the original current.To study the phenomenon of Electromagnetic InductionĪn electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by electric current. This emf must oppose the change (the termination of the current) causing it. When the switch is opened, the decrease in current through the solenoid causes a decrease in magnetic flux through its coils, which induces an emf in the solenoid. ![]() Fix : Cleaned default profiles for WEB and Monitor device.Fix : Conditional overlays were still faulty in some “race” conditions. ![]()

And that interesting concept of accessing memories comes up again – only this time in a more primitive form. Director John Hillcoat ( The Road) makes the absolute best of the episode’s still, disquieting Icelandic landscapes. “Crocodile” is one of Black Mirror‘s best-looking episodes. It’s a story and a concept that just needed some more time and money to produce. Still the ease in which the narrative trickery is worked out holds it back – as does its clear lack of a necessary budget. Once they get the twist out of the way, a lot falls into place and “Men Against Fire’s” central message is effective and disturbing. Its biggest issue, however, is that it’s nearly impossible not to guess its big twist very early on in the episode. “Men Against Fire” is actually pretty solid. He’s like how Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a show that wanted to talk about comedic variety shows but was completely unable to write believable sketches. The political message of the powers that be co-opting sarcastic revolutions from frustrated voters is pretty right on. In a more modern context when we’ve seen creatures far worse than cartoon characters elected to office, “The Waldo Moment” isn’t quite as bad. The plot introduces tortured comedic genius Charlie Brooker…I mean Jamie Salter (Daniel Rigby), whose animated bear-like creation Waldo embarks upon a satirical run for office. Central “character” Waldo is just absolutely unfunny and insufferable. “The Waldo Moment” is a popular choice for worst Black Mirror episode ever and it’s not hard to see why. While “Shut Up and Dance” is able to tap into modern anxieties about loss of privacy and autonomy well, it introduces a depressing third act twist that unwittingly argues we’re all terrible animals who don’t deserve our stupid privacy anyway. The third episode of season 3 does indeed present a worthwhile original concept, as most episodes of Black Mirror do. “Shut Up and Dance” is another episode of Black Mirror that is simply too ugly for its own good. ![]() ![]() It’s hard to be taken in by the episode’s fascinating technology when it’s presented within the most standard and boring infidelity plot imaginable. Lead character Liam (Toby Kebbell) is such a monstrous prick that it negates any salient point the episode may try to make. The initial concept remains appealing – so much so that the show has since returned to it in season 4, but the story wrapped around it is just awful. Problem is: “The Entire History of You” has aged incredibly poorly. even optioned it to make a still as of yet unproduced movie. “The Entire History of You” struck such a chord that Robert Downey Jr. The concept of being able to literally watch one’s own memories Dumbledore’s Pensieve-style was definitely appealing. “The Entire History of You” was a popular choice for fan favorite following the show’s tiny three-episode first season. ![]() I tried WT on Xbox a while ago but gave up as it seemed the devs just ported the game to console, set up all their nice additional purchases and microtransactions on the store, but didn't actually put any effort into making it playable.
