![]() This is the plot for The Vast of Night, which is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video. ![]() The results of this investigation, therefore, conclude that cometary spectra are detectable at 1420 MHz and, more importantly, that the 1977 "Wow!" Signal was a natural phenomenon from a Solar System body.A switchboard operator and a DJ in a small town in the 1950s discover a strange, potentially alien, audio signal that leads them on a wild investigation to find the origins of the signal. During observations of these comets, we detected a radio signal at 1420 MHz. Furthermore, to determine if comets other than comet 266/P Christensen emit a radio signal at 1420 MHz, we observed three comets that were selected randomly from the JPL Small Bodies database: P/2013 EW90 (Tenagra), P/2016 J1-A (PANSTARRS), and 237P/LINEAR. When the radio telescope was repositioned back to comet 266/P Christensen, a radio signal at 1420.25 MHz reappeared. During this experiment, the 1420.25 MHz signal disappeared. To dismiss the source of the signal as emission from comet 266/P Christensen, the position of the 10-meter radio telescope was moved 1° (60 arcminutes) away from comet 266/P Christensen. During observations of the comet, a series of experiments determined that known celestial sources at 1420 MHz (i.e., pulsars and/or active galactic nuclei) were not within 15° of comet 266/P Christensen. All radio emissions detected were within 1° (60 arcminutes) of the known celestial coordinates of the comet as it transited the neighborhood of the "Wow!" Signal. The investigation discovered that comet 266/P Christensen emitted a radio signal at 1420.25 MHz. From 27 November 2016 to 24 February 2017, the Center for Planetary Science conducted 200 observations in the radio spectrum to validate the hypothesis. In 2016, the Center for Planetary Science proposed a hypothesis arguing a comet and/or its hydrogen cloud were a strong candidate for the source of the "Wow!" Signal. Hydrogen Line Observations of Cometary Spectra at 1420 MHZ, Journal of the Washington Academy of Sciences, /research/the-wow-signal/ ( Paper PDF) The team then got a chance to test their idea as the two comets appeared once again in the night sky from November 2016 through February of 2017. Those comets, P/2008 Y2(Gibbs) and 266/P Christensen had not yet been discovered. The team noted that two comets had been in the same part of the sky that the Big Ear was monitoring on the fateful day. The explanation started to come into focus last year when a team at the CPS suggested that the signal might have come from a hydrogen cloud accompanying a comet-additionally, the movement of the comet would explain why the signal was not seen again. It was noted that the frequency was transmitted at 1,420 MHz, though, which happens to be the same frequency as hydrogen. Some outside the science community even suggested that it was proof of aliens. Possible sources such as asteroids, exo-planets, stars and even signals from Earth have all been ruled out. Since that time, numerous scientists have searched for an explanation of the signal, but until now, no one could offer a valid argument. Back in August of 1977, a team of astronomers studying radio transmissions from an observatory at Ohio State called the "Big Ear" recorded an unusual 72-second signal-it was so strong that team member Jerry Ehman scrawled "Wow!" next to the readout.

![]() “That was unexpected,” said Brent Bartram, who took over as the general manager of features at Andrews McMeel in January. Almost overnight, the syndicate was able to sign several features that brought hundreds of clients with them, including Brian Crane’s popular “Pickles” comic strip, which appears in upwards of 1,000 newspapers. But many, like Anderson, already have existing contracts with other syndicates that need to be honored.Īndrews McMeel, the home of popular newspaper features “Peanuts” and “Garfield,” has been among the beneficiaries of The Washington Post’s decision to wind down its cartoon syndication business. He could also envision syndicating some of the cartoonists that appear in its popular newsletter. That’s what we’re hoping for, but we’ll have to wait and see.”Īnderson said if all goes well, some of the remaining comic strips at The Washington Post could come under the Counterpoint umbrella, and they might even add a columnist or two. “This has worked out really well for the cartoonists because they may come out of this unscathed. “Basically, we just said no change in pricing, no change in distribution, the bills will go to a different place, and that’s really it for now,” Anderson said. ![]() Two-time Pulitzer prize winner Nick Anderson has a popular newsletter, Counterpoint Media, which is launching a syndicate in June 2022. Washington Post cartoonists launch their own syndicate “The Post will continue to publish across platforms the comics and cartoons that our readers expect and enjoy and plans for a seamless transition from being a syndicate to a customer of other syndicates,” the newspaper said in a statement. Others will continue to be distributed by The Washington Post until their current contracts run out.īut The Washington Post will continue to syndicate its popular stable of columnists, and it’s not getting rid of its own comics pages. Some of the comic strips have already landed at other syndicates, such as “Loose Parts” and “Baby Blues,” which were picked up by Andrews McMeel. The decision came about primarily because, after a review of the business, the Post didn’t view the service as an area for growth and decided to focus on other opportunities in the industry. In February, The Washington Post began informing newspapers it would be sunsetting its cartoon syndication business, which has distributed dozens of comic strips and editorial cartoons since the early 1970s. Unfortunately, like the newspapers they serve, syndicates like King Features feel the impact of journalism's digital transformation from printed pages to pixels on a screen. Hearst began syndicating comics and other features that were popular among readers, and in 1914 launched the new business under one banner - King Features - which continues to syndicate popular comic strips like “Zits” and “Hagar the Horrible” to newspapers across the country. Thanks to the popularity of the “Yellow Kid,” journalists referred to the brutal battle between newspapers as “yellow journalism.” They used them to gain the upper hand in cross-town circulation battles that led to hyped-up headlines and wildly overstated stories. It didn’t take long for comic strips to become a serious business for newspapers. ![]() The strip featured a popular character known as the Yellow Kid, and eventually, Outcault was hired away to draw “Yellow Kid” for William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal. Outcault in Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World in 1895. According to most historians, the first newspaper comic strip was “Hogan’s Alley,” drawn by Richard F. “So, that was nice, and that made up for a lot of anything we lost.”Ĭomic strips like “Tundra” occupy a special place in the history of newspapers. “We picked up 52 newspapers, which was really kind of an unexpected surprise right during COVID,” Carpenter said. Tundra has its origins in Alaska but now appears in more than 500 newspapers across the country. Of course, in a downpour the zippers and top material would bypass this and let in water, but it's nice to have the entire front of the bag be waterproof. It also has a nice exterior fabric that is water resistant and blocks rain from entering the front part of the bag. The main benefit (aside from build quality) of the Aer was the luggage-compatible strap, which allows it to attach nicely and sit atop rolling luggage. I had previously been using a similar but lower quality bag that I purchased while living in Korea in 2010. I picked up the Aer on a trip to SF before I lived here. I haven't encountered any sidewalk that doesn't work with it the bag can go from 4-wheel to 2-wheel mode in order to glide over the worst sidewalks.įor the type of travel that I do these days, it's perfect. Not having to carry any weight on your shoulders is really freeing! And since it's about the same size (aside from lost space to wheels) as the shoulder bag that it replaced. It turns out that rolling luggage is really, really nice. Despite the inability of rolling luggage to easily navigate bad and uneven sidewalks, I figured I'd give a rolling suitcase a try (especially since it was about half the price in Japan). While on this trip, I grew a bit tired of carrying around a 30L shoulder bag. ![]() The collection of modern and functional bags are designed for the everyday professional, commuter and traveler navigating an ever-changing urban environment. I purchased the Muji on a whim during a trip to Tokyo in 2017. Aer Creates durable, high-quality bags and accessories that meet the demands of the urban. But there are enough reviews of both the Muji 35L and the Aer Commuter bag, that I'll just summarize from my perspective.

If you're looking for something with a super light texture, try the Living Proof Full Thickening Mousse.Paul Mitchell Sculpting Gel (Our Top Pick) Pulitano adds that while it does differ between brands and formulations, a thicker mousse often dictates a stronger hold, whereas a thinner formula will likely provide a light hold. The texture of your volumizing mousse is also important, explains Pulitano: “I favor products with an airy, silky texture as they’re easier to work with and don’t leave a tacky residue.” Additionally, look for silk amino acids and panthenol help to strengthen hair, add body, and protect from some of the drying effects of some mousse formulas. “Polymers, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and even bamboo will lift and fatten fine hair,” says Pulitano.

![]() He goes on a mission to find the two princesses that have been kidnapped. And all that gets changed when he goes through the tollbooth, and finds himself in the lands beyond the tollbooth, and meets all kinds of dozens, and dozens of strange characters. He is just kind of filled with a kind of like preadolescent malaise. Everything is boring to him at the beginning. Now, what it's worth saying is that Milo is very bored with life. And so Milo decides, he gets a little map and he decides to go on an adventure. They still do to some extent, but this is an old-fashioned looking tollbooth with a lever that went up and down. Like a tollbooth that they used to have on the highways. But, in the box, is a miniature car and a tollbooth. And one day he comes home to his room to find a box with a card and a note. A city that seems a lot like New York City in like the '60s. For anyone who isn't familiar with the book, would you mind summarizing it for us? Anytime I had to add on my fingers would appreciate it. I am much more a word person too, and I wish I had had it when I was 8, 9, 10, as you did. I have to say that I feel like coming to it as an adult, I wish I'd had it as a kid, because I think it would have changed my relationship with numbers. Maybe I wouldn't have been an actor if I hadn't read The Phantom Tollbooth. Yes, there is a whole section on mathematics, but I just loved language, wordplay. It really affected my life, because it was so much about, especially about, language. And it was just a fascinating read for me. And I laughed, and I was scared and perplexed. It was one of those rare books that filled me with awe all the way through. I don't know if it was required reading at my school or not - maybe I was 8, 9, 10 years old, somewhere in there - and I just couldn't believe it. And then, a couple years later I discovered The Phantom Tollbooth. And I really didn't think that that could ever be topped. Growing up, my favorite book in the world was Alice in Wonderland. RW: This was an absolutely seminal book for me. ![]() What's your relationship with the book? Did you know it before you were invited to be the narrator on it? I didn't pick it up until I was in my twenties. And I always have to admit that I didn't have it as a kid, and I really wish I had. ![]() I have to tell you that I know probably a dozen people, at least, who cite The Phantom Tollbooth as a childhood favorite book. Who knows? We can create a new word for it as we go along. Thanks for having me on this thing, whatever it is. But, at Audible, we are talking about him as the extraordinary narrator of the extraordinary classic The Phantom Tollbooth. Or, you might even know him as an advocate and the co-founder of LIDÈ Haiti, a non-profit which empowers and educates girls in rural Haiti. I can tell you that's where I turn when I need a reminder that there is good in the world. He might have crossed your path on YouTube as the co-founder of SoulPancake. You might know him from his onscreen roles including Dwight Schrute of The Office. Heather Scott: Hello, this is Heather Scott, editor of Kids and YA at Audible. Note: Text has been edited and may not match audio exactly. Listen in as actor Rainn Wilson talks with editor Heather Scott about what the book means to him, how he tackled the deliberately confusing wording, and how the surprise guest narrator joined the project. One childhood fan in particular recently found himself in the enviable position of getting to narrate this masterpiece. For so many, Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth was just that book, with its clever wordplay and sneaky learning fun. There are books that we're introduced to as children that become bedrock to our sense of self or how we see the world. ![]() Shortly after, the tweet was highlighted by the WeWuz Boomers Twitter feed. tweeted a photoshopped image of Captain Marvel (played by Brie Larson) superimposed with the woman's head and the caption "Captain Triggered" (shown below). On November 19th, 2017, YouTuber PewDiePie used the image of the woman for the thumbnail on a video about microaggressions (shown below). On November 10th, 2016, the Tugboat Facebook page posted an image macro of the woman with the caption "Did you just assume my gender?" (shown below). ![]() Within five years, the post received more than 13,500 views (shown below). On June 4th, 2016, Imgur user antidamage posted the most popular usage of the meme, adding the word "triggered" in impact font to the bottom of the image. On June 2nd, 2016, screencaps of the woman were submitted to /r/The_Donald, introducing her as "Ficki Fiona." The following day, a thread about the woman was submitted to 4chan's /pol/ board, where many nicknamed her "Ficki Fiona." The original video was removed following YouTube's ban of all InfoWars channels in 2017. In the video, a woman with short hair wearing glasses is shown arguing with a man about statistics about sexual assault against women. This not only gives us their set value, but also allows us to set their start and end range dynamically based on the image file’s metadata (its dimensions).Īs mentioned before, the CSS file style.css will be very minimalistic since we will use standard Bootstrap elements in this tutorial.On June 1st, 2016, The Alex Jones Channel YouTube channel uploaded a video titled "Trump Supporters Shut Down Protesters" (shown below). The slider elements are assigned their own ID we will later use via Javascript or jQuery. The text within the canvas tag is only shown in browsers that do not support this technology. Optionally, you can also enter inline dimensions directly, instead of via CSS definitions. ![]() Unfortunately your browser does not support canvas.Īs you can see here, all you have to do is define a “ canvas” HTML tag for canvas. So, let’s begin with the first part, the HTML configuration page.īasically, we are creating a Bootstrap grid layout here (as you can see in the example screenshot above), which will display the meme generated with canvas on the left and the configuration options on the right (with the help of slider elements). In principle, our meme generator will consist of three parts: an HTML page with configuration options, a minimalistic CSS file (since we will work with the CSS framework Bootstrap), and a Javascript file with our logic. Step 1: Creating HTML markup for the configurator ![]() Since we will only work with Javascript, we do not need a server-side script or script language (such as PHP) for these basic functions. With our meme generator, we will be able to select any image or picture and then place two text areas on it using a few slider elements. They can be rescaled or repositioned, or even cropped.Ĭanvas treats each inserted object/object group as a separate element that can be moved, scaled, or rotated individually. But that’s not all: even Bézier curves and external graphics can be used (to a certain extent). Memes have become an Internet hype, which can likely be traced back to the fact that they are easy to create.Ĭanvas is an HTML element with freely definable height and width – like a real physical canvas – which can be “drawn on” with the help of Javascript.Īnd the functions aren’t restricted to lines and rectangles – circles, gradients, and texts can also be processed. In terms of topics, there are virtually no limitations, and memes are generally created by chance or based on the author’s own creativity. Memes are pseudo images featuring a more or less meaningful text phrase.
