![]() His performance as US Navy Seal sniper Chris Kyle was the closest any American actor has come to Gary Cooper in decades-a muted and deeply soulful rendition of a tragic life.Ĭooper’s first directorial effort was the enormously successful A Star Is Born. Cooper later worked again with Russell in the critically-acclaimed American Hustle.Ĭooper’s depth of acting talent was in full blossom during these years. Russell’s very moving and very funny Silver Linings Playbook. The Hangover led to steady film work for Cooper, leading up to his remarkable performance in David O. For such a broad comedy, Cooper’s performance was surprisingly nuanced. He played Phil Wenneck, the frat boy/middle school teacher who leads his friends on a hilarious, drunken bachelor party weekend in Las Vegas. His next big film role came in 2009 with The Hangover. Over the next several years, Cooper appeared in a number of TV shows, films, and Broadway shows. I could probably win an Alias trivia contest without having ever seen more than half an episode.Ĭooper’s breakthrough film role was Sack Lodge, the arrogant, preppy jerk in Wedding Crashers. If you were driving a carload of girls to a high school volleyball game, you were able to pretty much keep up with the series by listening to them talk about it. Since I was neither a girl nor in high school in those years, I missed most of this series, but my daughters and their friends and their friends’ friends raved about it. Apparently, if you were a high school girl in those years, Alias was required viewing. In the five ensuing years, Cooper had a recurring role on the spy thriller TV series Alias, which starred Jennifer Garner. It is a very amusing goof on summer camp movies. If this sounds like a really stupid movie, you’re right! That was the idea. In 2001, he appeared in his first feature, Wet Hot American Summer. Will Ferrell memorably spoofed it many times.)Īnyway, the school was a springboard for Cooper into Hollywood. (If you’ve never seen the interview show Inside the Actors Studio, it consists of Lipton interviewing a single actor about their career and philosophies of acting. He was also on the crew team at Georgetown and very active in theater.Īfter graduating, Cooper auditioned for a graduate program in acting at the Actors Studio Drama School in Manhattan and was selected by James Lipton for the program. He is fluent in French and spent six months living in Aix-en-Provence, France, as an exchange student. He eventually transferred to Georgetown and completed his degree with a major in English and a minor in French. As a kid, he liked playing basketball and cooking for his friends and developed an early interest in theater.Ĭooper attended Germantown Academy, a highly-regarded prep school in suburban Philadelphia, and then started his college career at Villanova University in Philadelphia. ![]() His mom worked for the local NBC affiliate, and his dad was a stockbroker for Merrill Lynch. ![]() The product of an upper-middle-class family, Bradley Charles Cooper was born on January 5, 1975, in Allen Township, a pretty little town in the Lehigh Valley about an hour and a half outside Philadelphia. In fact, he probably pushed himself even harder. He is one of those who had a running head start on life and never slowed down. And he shows no sign of slowing down what has already been a prodigious output.īradley Cooper just burns with the ambition to do well in good projects. He has been in a surprisingly large number of outstanding TV shows, movies, and plays. But combine good looks and charm with considerable talent, intelligence, drive, and good taste, and you would have what is already the legendary career of Bradley Cooper. Believe me, Hollywood is littered with good-looking, charming men who never amount to anything much. Except that guy in your high school probably never amounted to much because good looks and charm will only take you so far. He was All-Conference as a wide receiver on the football team, one of the leads in the musical, and starting center fielder on the baseball team. Remember that guy in your high school who was impossibly handsome and good at everything and who you just always wished would at least acknowledge you with a smile in the hall? You know the guy.

Buttrose completed the book in his Kolkata hotel room, and emailed the manuscript to the publishers Penguin on the date of the deadline. There he met Saroo’s Indian family, and travelled with Saroo on a rail journey across India, retracing for the first time the journey that Saroo took two and a half decades before as a young child, that ended him in Calcutta (now Kolkata). researched and wrote the book between September and December of that year, including research trips to Hobart to interview Saroo and his family, and a month-long journey to India with Saroo. A mature man, indeed, who reflects and keeps hoping, who knows himself well.īuttrose’s Wikipedia page reveals how he ghostwrote A Long Way Home in 2012: In the midst of all the traumatised memories is a determination to return to the beginning, a sense of purpose equipped with an acute awareness of possibilities/opportunities to confront both failure and success along the way. The story is expertly told, presenting a man capable of facing his own shadows while maintaining faith in the light of his life. Like many readers, this reviewer is deeply moved by the story of a five-year-old Indian boy who became lost on a train, survived for weeks on the chaotic streets of Calcutta, was adopted by an Australian couple and relocated to Tasmania, and, 25 years later, was able to reunite with his Indian family after searching for and finding his home town using Google Earth’s satellite images.īut it is Buttrose’s calm and sensible writing that really shapes Brierly as the main character of this book. But it also talks about compassion, love, hope and luck/grace.A Long Way Home (Penguin Australia, 2013), by Saroo Brierly with Larry Buttrose, is a book worth reading even after you have seen its internationally renowned film adaptation Lion (2016). It talks about danger, fear, loss and pain. It is real, it is raw and it is impressive. I think that what makes it great is that the book seems to be a great representation for life. I want to say that I don’t normally read novels, since I prefer non-fiction books. If you have the choice, read the book first and then watch the movie! After all, the book was written by Saroo himself, but the movie was created by an entire team of people who brought in their own influence. I loved both, but the book felt a bit more personal and raw than the movie. But I found the story so moving that I wanted to read the book too. I watched the movie “Lion” not knowing much about it and the book behind it. Well, I did it the other way but not on purpose. I know that it’s advisable to read a book and then watch the movie. It is a compelling and impressive story about getting lost, finding a new family and searching for his way back home. He tells his story about the way he lived as a child, how he tragically got separated from his family and the way his life evolved after that. ![]() Lion is a memoir about a little boy who got lost in India. ![]() If you want to get the annual plan but pay monthly, it’s $20.99/month.

The difficult part is creative thinking (knowing what to create), and that’s what will take more time to develop. You should be able to create artwork using the basics tools. It should take you about 3 to 5 months to learn the tools and basics. How quickly can I learn Adobe Illustrator? Yes! You can definitely learn Adobe Illustrator on your own! There are so many self-taught graphic designers today, and they learn from online resources like online tutorials, online courses, and books. FAQsĭecided to learn Adobe Illustrator? Here are more questions about Adobe Illustrator that you might be interested in. Let me put it this way, you need to know what you’re going to do first (which is knowledge), and then you can search for the solution (how-to tutorials) to make it happen. Tutorials are generally solutions to specific problems, such as how to use a specific tool or how to make something, while online courses are teaching you knowledge and skills. Some of you might think, isn’t tutorials and online courses the same thing? There are so many tools and features in Illustrator, it’s impossible to learn them all at once, so there’s always more to learn from the tutorials. Tutorialsīest for: learning about how-tos, and tools & basics.Ī tutorial is the go-to when you run into new tools in Adobe Illustrator that you haven’t used before or when you want to ask a “how-to” question! Books or courses don’t always go too deep into the tools & basics. Tip: Choose a book that’s project-based and has assignments, so that you can practice more “after class”. With creative ideas in mind, through doing projects and practicing, you’ll learn fast. Most of the Adobe Illustrator books come with hands-on projects, practices, and step-by-step instructions on how to use the basic tools & features. Once you’ve learned the concepts and principles, you can apply them to real-world projects. Booksīest for: learning graphic design concepts.īooks can be the best way to learn design concepts and principles, which are essential if you want to use Adobe Illustrator like a pro. Learning about practical projects is much more important. Tip: I highly recommend choosing a project base course instead of a tool & basics based course because you can learn about the tools from other online tutorials. The difficult part might be self-discipline, so make sure that you practice on your own. There are so many Adobe Illustrator online courses from universities, design institutes, agencies, or blogs and there are so many courses focusing on different niches. It was somehow complicated (I’m talking about back in 2013), so it was actually nice to take the online class because I could go back and pause on the steps that I couldn’t follow at once. I took an online Illustrator class one summer and the class was about making charts & graphs. If there’s anything you didn’t get the first time you watch the recorded course videos, you can always go back to see the videos again. The best thing about Illustrator online courses is that you can learn them at your own pace and the schedule can be flexible. Tip: If you want to become a graphic designer, learning Adobe Illustrator isn’t all about learning the tool itself, it’s more important to be the creative “idea person”, and then you can learn the tools to make your thinking into projects. Learning from each other is the best way to improve your ideas and skills.īesides teaching the programs, the instructor usually teaches some design thinking as well which is essential for you to be a professional graphic designer or illustrator. One big advantage of learning in a classroom is that you can ask questions or feedback anytime and get an immediate response from classmates or instructors. ![]() The rotation angles for the two planes are called phi and psi. The two planes can twist around the alpha carbon. The alphaĬ serves as the corner attachment point of two different planes, each which can rotate independently of the other plane. The number of conformations which a protein can adopt since these 6 atoms are forced to reside and move in a plane. In a plane, since the hybridization of the C and N are sp 2, with 120 o bond angles. These resonance structures literally force the two other atoms connected to the carbonyl C and the amide N to lie This can be accounted for by delocalizing the nonbondingĮlectron pair of the N to the carbonyl C forming a double bond, with the pi bonded electrons of the carbonyl C-O bond moving X-ray analysis shows that the the C-N bond has double bond character.

The possible conformations available to proteins, just as we studied the conformations of free fatty acids and acyl chains Spontaneous process into a single unique conformation, theoretically at a global energy minimum. Proteins are covalent polymers of 20 different amino acids, which fold, to a first approximation, in a thermodynamically Note that because of processes such as the post-translational modifications to proteins we still need protein sequencing and I believe that we currently rely too heavily on DNA sequencing.In contrast to micelles and bilayers, which are composed of aggregates of single and double chain amphphiles, This is because it is now much easier to sequence DNA. Instead, since it has been worked out (mostly) how DNA codes for protein, we usually infer the protein sequence from the DNA sequence. However, it is now relatively rare to directly determine protein sequence! The very first protein sequence (bovine insulin) was determined by Fredrick Sanger in 1951-2 (note that this was more than a decade before the first nucleotide sequence). There are many different techniques for directly determining protein sequences - this wikipedia article is a decent introduction: There are also methods that have been developed to remove amino acids one at a time.īy combining theses techniques it is possible to directly determine protein sequences. This is a great question, but actually quite complicated so I'm not going to try to give a complete answer - I have given some useful links below if you wish to learn more.Įach amino acid has unique chemical properties that can be used to tell them apart. ![]() Plain Text: In the QR code Column enter the text as it is.csv files, which are used as Data Source, are in the following format: To generate the QR codes the data entries in the.

A skirmish with the Roman Army’s Ninth Legion liberates Quintus, who joins forces with his countrymen, led by roistering Gen. Using guerrilla tactics, these fierce warriors bedevil the Roman legions with constant raids on the Romans’ forts, one of which wipes out Quintus’ cohort.įor unexplained reasons, Quintus can speak Pictish (per press notes, subtitled dialogue for these scenes is actually Scots Gaelic, since little is known about the real Pictish language), so he’s taken prisoner instead of slain. Like many a superpower that would follow in Rome’s footsteps, the would-be continental conquerors are finding it hard work vanquishing the local barbarian horde, in this instance the Picts. This film by Kevin Reynolds had two previous renditions: 1987 titled The Inquiry by Damiano Damiani with Keith Carradine, Harvey Keitel, Phyllis Logan and 2oo6 The Final Inquiry by Giulio Base with Daniel Liotti, Dolph Lundgren, Monica Cruz, Ornella Muti.After a flashforward preamble that sees protagonist Quintus Dias (played by a chiseled Michael Fassbender) stumbling half-naked through the snow, it’s established that action unfolds in 117 A.D., on the very edge of the Roman Empire, in what’s now Scotland. ![]() Rating : better than average, well worth watching. Kevin is a good craftsman with hits and flops, including titles as Robin Hood,The beast of the war, Waterworld, 187, Fandango, Tristan and Isolda. The motion picture was compellingly directed by Kevin Reynolds. Special mention for musical score marvelously composed by Roque Baños, plenty of catching and evocative sounds. Colorful and adequate cinematography by Lorenzo Senatore. This is an Usa-Spain coproduction being well set in Malta and Almeria ,Andalucia. All of them deliver some insightful dialogs.The picture has a Christian point of view that holds interest, delivering an enjoyable Catholic vision fitting itself to religious canon. And a nice support cast mostly formed by Spanish actors playing Apostles and Jews as Thomas: Jean Cornet, Andrew:MarioTardon, Thaddeus:Lorente, Joseph Arimatea: Antonio Gil, Jose: Luis Callejo, and Maria Botto as Mary Magdalene. Peter Firth is a credible governor Pontius Pilatus who sends Tribune Clavius off on a dangerous mission. Interpretations are awesome, Joseph Fiennes as the doubtful Tribune gives a magnificent acting, he plays a hard-nosed investigator who finally finds out the marvelous truth, he rises to the occasion especially in the crucial last half-hour. This is an interesting treatment of the political and religious thought-world of the time convincingly developed and the intent of the filmmakers is ultimately both ambitious and entertaining. Here is treated the Resurrection as a mystery thriller including noisy action, fights, suspense, intrigue and pursuits. This is the thrilling tale of a quest to uncover the mystery of all mysteries and while an officer finds out a surprising truth, to discover the body of Jesus Christ who rose from the dead. ![]() In 33 AD in a remote part of the empire called Palestine, sent to to disprove the resurrection and on a spiritual quest the Tribune discovers faith, friendship, wonderful events and a revelation that could shatter the Roman Empire to find the body of Jesus Christ. ![]() Acceptable and memorable film in which a Roman Agent : Joseph Fiennes along with his helper : Tom Felton are commissionated to resolve rumors of the resurrection of an executed convict : Cliff Curtis. ![]() ![]() Any advice provided on this website is of a general nature only and does not take into account your needs, objectives and financial situation.

This means that relics were ditched due to being one big open-world game, but gems do still exist hidden throughout the levels and are still well-hidden. It plays like a Crash game, just without the Warp Room. The game is incredibly fun to play, and the game has great graphics too. The result was TwinSanity, a game that completely got rid of the classic warp rooms in favour of a new open-world Crash game. So, developer Traveller's Tales decided to produce a Wrath of Cortex sequel to address these issues. People wanted something new from Crash, something new for the then next-gen hardware. When Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (my favourite Crash game) came out, it was criticised for being too similar to the PS1 trilogy.
