![]() Paul said, ‘Here, this quarter, you’ve got to fill it in.’ So, I said, ‘Well, how long have we got?’ ‘You’ve got two days,’ he replied. I dressed like my father and my stepfather because they were waiters. Paul said, ‘Well, here’s the segment, you write a little piece for that,’ and I thought, ‘Bloody hell,’ so I ran off and I wrote the dream sequence for the fat woman and all the things with the spaghetti. That’s when we made Magical Mystery Tour. Paul made an attempt to carry on as if Brian hadn’t died, by saying, ‘Now, boys, we’re going to make a record.’ Being the kind of person I am, I thought, ‘Well, we’re going to make a record all right,’ so I’ll go along and we made a record. ![]() Mal Evans & Neil Aspinall – From The Beatles Monthly Book, December 1967 During the rest of the week we did the Magicians’ Laboratory sequence, Aunt Jessie’s Nightmare, a Recruiting Office scene with Victor Spinetti cast as a Sergeant, the Marathon Race (with four midget wrestlers, five clergymen, a Rugby team, a dozen tiny children playing Tug O’ War and a bunch of racing motor cyclists), the bit where George sings “Blue Jay Way” sitting cross-legged on a pavement in thick fog, the lengthy and quite spectacular outdoor scene for the song “I Am The Walrus” and the huge Finale involving a couple of hundred “extras” - mostly formation dancers. Before going out there we’d done the special Strip Club sequence with Jan Carson and The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band in Paul Raymond’s Revuebar, Soho. So heavy that, instead of driving 50 miles to and from the location each day, we decided to put up close to Maidstone in a hotel until the end of the week.Īt West Malling all the main scenes were filmed. The weekend break was welcome but on Tuesday it was back to work with a very heavy filming schedule out at West Malling R.A.F. Peter Brown – From “ The Love You Make: An Insider’s Story of the Beatles“, 2002 In desperation they leased an old airfield in West Mailing, Kent, where a huge set was built. Paul had planned to shoot the finale, a top hat and cane dance number, at Shepperton Studios outside of London, but no one had thought of booking time on the sound stage.

The hotel provided a relaxing retreat for the band and cast, who often gathered in the bar in the evenings to unwind and socialize. To avoid the daily 50-mile commute to and from the location, the band members opted to stay at The Great Danes Hotel in Maidstone, approximately nine miles (14km) from the filming site. NEMS Enterprises, the Beatles’ management company, rented the army base for the week, providing ample space for filming and allowing the band to experiment with different locations and settings. The decision to film at West Malling Air Station was made due to the band’s short notice and their inability to secure available studio space in London. ![]() On September 18, filming resumed with the crew choosing the Raymond Revuebar strip club in London’s Soho district as the location for the day’s shoot.įrom September 19 to 24, the Beatles relocated to West Malling Air Station in Maidstone, Kent, where they filmed various interior and exterior scenes for the project. The first leg of filming occurred from September 11 to 15 in and around Newquay, with the band returning to the recording studio on September 16 to continue work on the accompanying soundtrack. Production of The Beatles’ “ Magical Mystery Tour” TV special took place throughout September 1967, with some additional scenes filmed in late October / early November.

Honestly this is doing my head in at this point and I'm so angry especially after I detailed in my ESA50 form that change always badly affects my mental healthWe are accepting new clients. I thought I was going to be able to get the assessment over with but no. This claim has been making me ill since the day I made it. I haven't asked for a home appointment or for the assessment to be recorded so I have no idea why it's been cancelled especially seeing as it wasn't a last minute cancellation. I have been diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality disorder. But also that 'if I would like more information about why I no longer need the assessment to contact jobcentre plus' This is having a massive negative impact on my mental health. They mentioned that they would be back into contact with a new appointment time. With nine days before my appointment I received a letter saying it had been postponed and cancelled. I got the letter giving me my appointment for my ESA medical over a month ago. It helps us enormously when everything relating to the same claim is kept in one topic - and I hope you will find it useful tooĬould really do with some reassurance/advice.

You might want to favourite/bookmark this on your web browser now so that you can find them easily in future. Members are, of course, free to post and tell you of their own experiences. However, the majority of assessors do their jobs fairly and with a degree of compassion - but that kind of thing is not 'news' and is not talked about so much. Some people do, sadly, have bad experiences at these assessments and these are the people we hear from. Our ESA guide will explain what to expect at the face2face assessment, it isn't a 'medical' in any accepted sense of the word and the questions are unlikely to relate directly to the questions on the ESA50 form. ![]() I am sorry that you are finding this all so distressing Hi and Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explain where everything is Please Log in or Create an account to join the conversation. Would be grateful for some advice and for others to share their experiences with the face to face assessment on mental health grounds. Seems like even severe mental health issues are overlooked by these people from what I've read on line. ![]() I've done all I can but don't see myself being treated fairly and the way I deserve. The claim has made my symptoms worsen since the get go. I feel physically sick at the thought of being sat infront of a stranger being quizzed about my mental health. I sent three sets of psychiatrists notes in with my medical form. I experience some psychotic symptoms and recently self harmed. Most of the time I can't even go out full stop. I can't use public transport or go out alone. I have bipolar type 2 and traits of borderline personality disorder. Safe to say I'm freaking out and have been dreading this moment since I first made the claim. So today I got a letter through my door asking me to attend the ESA medical assessment. ![]() But, on the other hand, the bigger the font, the more pages in your book, and the more expensive it will be to print. ![]() All other things being equal, the smaller the font size, the harder it is to read. Why else do you think we have “small print” in most contracts. By testing the reader’s reactions to the same set of instructions presented in either an easy, or a hard to read font, the researchers could show a direct correlation between readability and perceived task difficulty.Ĭlearly font size has an impact on readability. Research indicates that the harder a passage is to read, the more challenging the action written about will appear to be to the reader. If the font you choose is so decorative that the letter forms are not immediately clear, it will take the brain longer to decide what each letter is, causing the reader to get fatigued and possibly lose interest.įont Readability & Perceived Task Difficulty All the reading theories I discussed in the article depend to some degree on being able to decipher individual letter characteristics. The advent of computers and digital typesetting has opened the door to a plethora of modern decorative fonts which, although more stylish, are often harder to read. Where the big distinction comes in is when discussing display fonts. As long as you are mindful of how that font is perceived in terms of purpose. So, the choice between serif or sans serif generally comes down to personal preference. However, the latest brain research suggests that, when it comes to readability, there is little solid evidence either way. There is much contention in the design world as to whether Serif or Sans Serif fonts are easier to read. serif, sans serif or display), font readability and how it relates to perceived task difficulty, and font size. In the article I touched on several points related to font choice: style of font (i.e. I’ll even give you a list of my favourite free-to-use Google fonts to get you started.īefore we get stuck into looking at any particular fonts, lets look at why this decision is so important in determining the potential success of your book.īack in 2017, I wrote an article titled “The Science of How We Read, & How to Use it to Build a Better Book” in which I went into the mechanics of how the human eye views and processes written words and how to format your book to make that process easier for your reader. So, I’ve written this article to give you a really basic primer on the sorts of things you should consider when choosing your fonts. Even down to what budget you have available for printing and target cover price.īut I realise that for the average author who doesn’t have a background in graphic design or an understanding of typography, considering those sorts of questions in relation to font choice is a bit overwhelming. Such as subject matter, target audience, purpose of your book, how you anticipate readers will use your book. A number of different factors go into choosing the right fonts for your book. Unfortunately, there is a LOT more to it then that. A lot of authors who opt to typeset their own books ask me “what are the Best Fonts to use for my book”? And they invariably expect me to just give them the name of a font that they can then go and use knowing that it will be right. ![]() Jackson Galaxy, a cat behavior and wellness expert along with the host of Animal Planet’s My Cat From Hell, agreed to an interview with Madeleine Aggeler, a journalist for The Cut. If you talk to certain animal experts, however, you may come to believe that there’s something to the idea that cats can see and maybe even interact with ghosts, spirits, or other paranormal entities. People love to tell ghost stories about cats, especially around Halloween. They certainly may not be able to completely protect you from evil spirits, but they may warn you if anything bad is about to happen, according to popular belief. Many believe that cats can easily predict future as they get to ‘know’ their owner, or that they can easily sense feelings. It is even said that they do not like a place if they sense any psychic presence there.Ĭats are also believed to see any aura or evil presence around human beings. It has been observed that cats behave strangely when they sense an unusual presence around them. Many folklore tales claim that dogs bark in the night to ward away any evil spirits. Could that really be true? Are Cats Protectors From Spirits?Īncient Egyptian mythology claims that cats are blessed with the power to ward away evil spirits while Buddhists believe that cats are the souls of the dead who live in the bodies of cats before they get a new life. In fact, ancient Egyptian mythology claims cats are mediators between the human and spirit realms. if Egyptian mythology is to be believed, cats can communicate with spirits, and it tracks that they might also be able to clearly identify one. Not only did ancient Egyptians worship the cat, but they considered it a way to communicate with the realm of spirits. She was the daughter of Ra and his defender – she was also the protector of women’s secrets and a guardian against evil spirits and diseases. If a pet cat died, everybody in the owning family had to shave their eyebrows.īastet or Bast was an ancient Egyptian goddess of protection and cats. Killing a cat was considered a crime and anyone who did was severely punished. In ancient Egypt, cats were worshiped, and Egyptian culture is famous for its devotion to cats. This is why some cat owner believe can cats see guardian angels. Such telepathic traits make it more believable that our feline friends are completely capable of sensing things that we humans may often not notice. They are even capable of realizing danger when it threatens them or their owners.Īnother well-known trait they possess, is understanding when their caretaker is sad or hurt. They even know when their owners are going to arrive and who loves them the most. Well, It is quite shocking, but they can sense negativity coming from certain people, and they tend to either stay away from such people or hiss at them. They feel certain vibrations, and that seems to be the reason they despise people who are not fond of cats. According to some studies, cats genuinely know more than humans. It has been predicted that cats can see things from the spiritual world which normal people usually cannot. He later reported that he could hear usual sounds coming from the room, despite the fact that it was empty.ĭid the cat see something that was not visible to the human eye? In one story, a cat lover reported that his cat was constantly staring into an unoccupied room. The logical explanation might be that the cat is simply playing, while others might just think this is the way cats behave. After staring a while, it looks like they are trying to fight something off their face. Other examples include cats that stare at the stairway like someone is walking up and down or a cat staring at wall ghost. Some feline observers have found their cat stares continuously at a particular spot, a spot that was later involved in strange activity. It might seem a bit unusual by human standards, but if you observe cats keenly, they are not as unaware as many might consider them to be. The cat is one such species and, apart from communicating with their owners, they have an unspoken connection with each other and the world around them. Which begs the question, can cats see ghosts? How about angels? Or even demons?Īnimals may not use a language to communicate like humans, but a true observer will realize that animals like cats and dogs do communicate by other means, and they do it very well. Animals have an uncanny ability to sense danger, emotions, and even things we as humans don’t fully understand. We’ve all seen the scary movie where the dog or cat reacts to something no one else in the room can see. ![]() This function has a couple important properties for our purposes. To begin with, let’s take $f\left(x\right)=\sin\left(x\right)$. Now, we need to pick a wavy function to wrap around the circle. In fact, this is sometimes how the $\cos$ and $\sin$ functions are defined: as the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of a unit circle at a given angle, respectively. The parametric function $\left(\cos\left(t\right),\sin\left(t\right)\right)$ makes a circle when $t$ ranges from $0$ to $2\pi$. When $a=2$, this is equivalent to placing two identical copies of the original vector tip-to-tail: vector scale with original vectorįinally, we can make a circle. For example, here’s what happens if we scale this vector by $a$, where $a$ ranges from $0$ to $1$: vector scaling By the Pythagorean theorem, this is equivalent to scaling the length of the vector by $a$ (for this reason, $a$ is called a “scalar”). To multiply a vector by a number $a$, we multiply both coordinates by $a$. We can represent a vector in the plane as an arrow between the origin and the $\left(x,y\right)$ position: Image made with Desmos Graphing Calculator The parametric function $f$ can be written as $f\left(x,y\right)=\left(x\left(t\right),y\left(t\right)\right)$ where $x\left(t\right)$ and $y\left(t\right)$ are functions of the parameter $t$. Parametric functions in the $xy$ plane map every value of a variable $t$ (called the “parameter”) on a given range to a 2-dimensional vector, or a point in space. We can accomplish this with parametric functions. How can we imitate the radially-extending petals of real-life flowers? One way is to “wrap” a wavy function graph around a circle so its waves oscillate orthogonally to the tangent line of the circle at any given angle. Wrapping a wave around a circleĮnough waiting – it’s time to get to the actual math. Some of them look like they curl about the center – this is definitely a characteristic that would be nice to capture in the parametrics. Here, the petals do not extend straight out from the center as in the previous two images. The layers appear to be spaced roughly so that the maximum petal area is exposed to overhead sunlight. That purple one is pretty simple as well, but note how there are now two to three layers of petals that are offset from one another by rotation. The petals extend directly away from the center and there is only one layer of petals. That is about the most simple-looking flower you can find. Let’s take a look at some reference images and note some characteristics we want to include in our designs. Flowers come in all shapes, sizes, patterns, and colors. “Flower design” is an extremely broad term. That’s a good thing – I encourage you to experiment with different numbers and equations to see what you find. Since math class focuses primarily on questions with right/wrong answers, this artistic freedom may be uncharted math territory for some of you. The approach in this post is tailored to what I find aesthetically pleasing, so it is by no means objectively the best. Before starting, note that there is no right or wrong way to go about this. We’ll create flower designs with a large degree of artistic control using parametric curves. The goal of this post is to give an example of how math can be beautiful in a more accessible and universal way: the creation of art. That certainly sounds appealing to those who are already immersed in math, but it’s not clear how such a result is “beautiful” in the general sense of the word. “Mathematical beauty” usually refers to the elegance of a proof, that is, how cleanly some mathematical result is proven with a convincing argument. system – the super-gory technology that allows Slayers to break zombies down into bloody chunks of flesh and bone. Meanwhile, the Clotter let the studio push what could be done with Dead Island 2’s F.L.E.S.H. “To add to the torment, we gave the character hands that are frozen in a rigor mortis, so they’re almost forced to thresh around.” Slayers get a new nightmare “For example, we wanted the Whipper to thrash around violently and indiscriminately,” Smith adds. “We’re focusing on the visual storytelling and signposting the enemy,” Smith explains, “and we want to ground the player in the location and make sure it fits in with the vibe.”Īs the art development progressed, new ideas emerged, which also fed back into the design. To tie the Whipper in with the expansion’s festival style, the team looked to the social media imagery associated with big American festivals, and the boho chic fashion styles you’d find on the festival ground. Filled with frustration at the zombie infection within, they’ve attempted to remove it, gouging out their own innards and becoming entangled in their own intestines, which are used to extend their attacking reach like an organic web.” “In the case of the Whipper,” says Smith, “we had the call out that they would be self-mutilating intestine wielders. The basic concepts were fleshed out into concept art, always making sure that the new zombies would fit into the Dead Island universe and feel plausible within its blood-splattered, body horror aesthetic. To create the new enemies for the expansion, the team started out with a range of zombie concepts, then whittled them down to the final two. ![]() Clotters hound the Slayer, keeping them under constant pressure and unable to dominate one position. ![]() Whippers are fast-moving, mid-ranged enemies with powerful attacks and special abilities that can stop Slayers using their own Fury powers. ![]() Gearhead (The Deathslinger) - After a Survivor loses a Health State, Gearhead activates for 30 seconds.
