Guys- THIS IS WHAT I MEAN. OP gets it. Well said. Everything is laid out perfectly. HTTYD3’s designs are a spit in the face to the franchise legacy and I will die on this hill. Dreamworks sacrificed their artistic talents and traded it for the money they knew they would rake in from younger fans if they turned the main dragons into marketable fucking plushies. As a fan it makes my blood boil what they did to our Night Fury.

Which is why in FIMT we be changing some shit eh? My laptop is a tool and gawd damn it I’m Fix-it-Felix.

Sorry that I haven’t been posting on Tumblr. I’m not active on here because the platform isn’t my favorite. But since I’m hated by the dragon artist community in the HTTYD fandom on Instagram. I’m going to post my drawing here. I’ll come back to posting more of the creepypasta proxy x supernatural AU soon. Now without further ado, let’s start off with my opinions on both Httyd movies.

HEADS UP: if you do not like these opinions about the third movie, please do not attack me or anyone else that agrees. I will block (depending on the comment) or delete the negative comments.

Toothless (THW): There were so many things with this movie that pissed me off, starting off with Toothless himself. He stood out like a sore thumb. His design is atrocious with the squished eyes and the eyebrows. The few things that were good were the Deathgrippers and when Toothless was angry. That’s it. Also the light fury was shit and she looked like a condom. Anyways, Toothless was butchered so bad in this movie. He was a slobbery horny fuck and made out with his own shadow. He was disgusting to the Light fury (Thanks for smacking him in that scene when Toothless was being a creep doing those tropical bird dances). Now with his markings, they’re vaguely there. When he’s flying you can kinda see em but not really. Aside from the deathgrippers and Toothless’s angered expressions, the entire movie was shit. And DO NOT get me started with the light fury and those ugly ass looking night light things. I preferred the old storyboard where Toothless was reunited with a pack of night furies and Drago returned. Don’t believe me? Look it up. Side note: I also liked the soundtrack of this movie. With this atrocious movie, it’s like DreamWorks took away all Toothless mysterious aspects and made him act like a rubbery mutt (no offense to dogs, dogs are way smarter than what DreamWorks did to Toothless)

HTTYD (2010): Oh boy, I loved this movie since childhood. The animation, the dragons actually looked intimidating, and my favorite of all Toothless. I loved him, his design especially. He actually scared me as a kid while watching this on DVD. Toothless in the first film was by far the best (as well as HTTYD2 Toothless, tho I like the first movie better) he was sassy, protective of hiccup even when Astrid was gonna attack. What I loved about Toothless’s design was his tiger shark leopard print markings and that he acted like a cat. I loved the way he moved in flight and walking. Another thing on what I loved about Toothless was that he was actually mysterious and unknown. No one never knew about his species it was all unknown. It would’ve been cool if DreamWorks added the concept light furies in the movie. That would be dope.

Fiber Optic Cables

Secondary coating line

Every fiber optic cable guide features a radius limiting part that prevents fiber optic cables from being bent over and above their least bend radii. The fiber optic cables have apparent advantages around the copper cables. You can find extra safety, as well as the fiber optic cables tend to be more dependable than any other wire accessible. The fiber optic cable is in the significant voltage environment. Dry-band voltage of your polluted sheath's surface of the all-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable is analyzed in this paper.

Secondary coating line

The fiber optic cable seven-hundred, shown in FIG. The FIMT core 702 features an interior tube 706 encompassing one particular or maybe more optical fibers 708. The fiber optic cable will be the principal decision for prime velocity Net connections along with the most important substance useful for region to place or continent to continent Online connections. By going the connection type from copper to fiber optics it can allow the DisplayPort to attain better bandwidths that happen to be vital for HDTV playback and when you think about there are lots of games that you just can engage in over the internet, streaming them through the DisplayPort directly to your Lcd Tv might be a person choice the sector will soak up the around upcoming. The fiber optic cable could be installed very easily from level to stage, passing right future to major sources of EMI without having result. Conversion from copper networks is a snap with media converters, gadgets that change most sorts of systems to fiber optics.

The fiber optic cable assembly involves a bundle of fiber optic fibers, a tube, a observe, a plurality of fasteners and securing implies. The tube has a front floor plus a rear surface area. The fiber optic cable transmits the photon to a next quantum dot that also transpires to become sitting down between two mirrors. In such cases, the mirrors "catch" the photon and bounce it from the quantum dot till it eventually absorbs it. The fiber optic cable has an stop that is definitely stripped. The stripped end contains a bare fiber that extends in the connector and through the ferrule.

The fiber optic cable carries a number of providers all over campus which includes: voice, online video, cable Tv set, and facts. Besides possessing the fiber cable in place, newer fiber cable Tv set distribution gear grew to become a lot more available in a reduced price. The fiber optic cable and lens makes it possible for the instrument electronics to become retained far from the concentrate on environment wherever it could be subjected to increased temperatures, smoke, dust, steam or impressive electromagnetic emissions these as generated by induction heating. Each the stainless steel lens and rugged cable assembly may be replaced during the subject with out returning the instrument for calibration (a singular attribute). The Fiber Optic Cable Blower is suitable for the installation of fiber optic cables with diameters from 0.23" (five.eight mm) to 1.13" (28.7 mm) into innerduct from 0.98" (25 mm) outer diameter to one.97" (50.0 mm) outer diameter. The right size cable seals, feed tube and venturi needs to be determined for the cable remaining mounted.

The fiber optic cable receives enter in the reflection off of your internal 3/4 inch diameter sphere surface. The IS1 is right for transportable coloration measurements and functions just like a cosine receptor for irradiance measurements. The fiber optic cable (20) includes a light-weight carrying center (28), a cladding (30) plus a buffer (32). The cladding displacement connector (ten) has surfaces (sixty,62) that may be useful for displacing the buffer (32) and cladding (thirty) to expose (34) the light carrying heart (28).

Fiber-optic wires carry info while in the form of light-weight . To help make a fiber-optic nanowire, engineers initial commence which has a common fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic cable has become getting used to transport both equally video clip and audio signals for brief and lengthy distances. This can be produced doable by modulating a video/audio sign(s) on to a beam of coherent light-weight, that is produced by a solid-state laser.

Fiber-optic cables usually are not crimped, soldered, or twisted jointly when they are repaired. If the cable is broken, one more cable has to be slice to suit between the 2 connectors. Fiber-optic technological know-how is very well regarded in telecommunications, regional spot networks, the CCTV security marketplace and in numerous Clever Transportation Procedure (ITS) highway projects. Even CATV (cable) distribution to varied regional feed points in just a household local community has become plan for fiber.

Network operators wish to recoup the price of the fiber-optic cable as well as other infrastructure parts which make a high-speed Net probable. They argue which the updates are needed to provide these innovations as high-definition video-on-demand and high-quality teleconferencing. Our typical fiber-optic ribbon cables give exceptional tensile power and resistance to cut-through and abrasion although preserving flexibility. Cables can be found for aerospace along with other demanding purposes. The fiber-optic cable didn't allow that.

glass,eyeglasses

Fiber Optic cabling is designed with glass fibers. Supply quite small variation during the signal they have above lengthy distances. Optical engineers have found that including distinctive further substances to the fundamental silicon dioxide they might change the optical qualities in the glass. By adding about 4% germanium dioxide (GeO2), by way of example, they could produce a glass that has a lot less attenuation, and far 'flatter' attenuation across various frequencies of sunshine, than silicon dioxide by by itself. Despite the fact that fibers may be built away from either plastic or glass, the fibers applied in long-distance telecommunications purposes are always glass, thanks to the lessen optical absorption of glass. The sunshine transmitted via the fiber is confined thanks to whole interior reflection inside of the material.

FYI, fiber optic (the main of it, not shell to go over it) is designed of glass rather than plastic. The fiber optic strands of glass (optic fibers) within just fiber optic cables carry analog or electronic alerts during the method of gentle waves. Length and capabilities will boost even more when the glass results in being much more pure.

Remembering the headache and also the good white gentle from superior SiO2 glass, Richard knew the formula will be ultra pure SiO2. Richard also understood that Corning produced superior purity SiO2 powder, by oxidizing pure SiCl4 into SiO2. NEP Supershooters has adapters that do the job across the fiber by breaking out the glass, but this suggests the camera have to be run within the closest electrical outlet or generator. It can be only one more thing to go erroneous in the event the ability plug gets pulled or the generator quits. A fibre optic cable is made up of the glass silica core by way of which light-weight is guided. This is protected using a substance which has a refractive index of somewhat significantly less compared to core.

The core and also the cladding (that has a lower-refractive-index ) are usually built of high-quality silica glass, though they might both equally be produced of plastic too. Connecting two optical fibers is finished by fusion splicing or mechanical splicing and requires particular expertise and interconnection know-how thanks on the microscopic precision required to align the fiber cores. A type of cable that transmits details as light-weight by way of strands of glass in lieu of electrical power through copper . Fiber-optic cable is often a amazing point; it may possibly transmit nearly insane amounts of information for each 2nd , and it is actually completely impervious to surge s, magnetic fields , lightning , and all of the other EM nasties which can influence copper cable. Fiber optic information transmission works by using mild in glass fiber cable as a interaction medium. It can be excellent for spanning locations with significant interference, these as close to major electrical equipment, welding or radio transmissions.

Fiber optics are skinny filaments of glass by means of which gentle beams are transmitted. Advantages of fiber include high info carrying ability (bandwidth), really small error rates and insensitivity to electromagnetic interference. Then, the bare glass (one hundred twenty five mm) is cleaned and established set up less than a distinctive laser underneath a custom made photograph mask that is definitely established 50 mm above the cable. As soon as the laser performs its cycle, the assembly has become personalized. Abraham Van Heel covered a bare fiber or glass or plastic using a clear cladding of lower refractive index. This shielded the whole reflection surface area from contamination and greatly decreased cross communicate amongst fibers.

Fiber-optic cable consists of glass fibers, allowing for appreciably bigger transfer speeds as opposed to copper. Facts are transmitted inside the form of mild pulses injected by a laser or an LED. The cable utilizes glass fibers in place of copper wires to transmit discussion and facts. AT&T's old cables generally are shark- free because they don't emit a great deal magnetism. Glass cables need to get custom-cut so that they have a nice crisp edge that doesn't scatter the light, but their plastic cousins is often trimmed on the jobsite. Still, no ordinary wire cutter will do.

From a technical standpoint, fiber optic cable consists of the bundle of glass or plastic rods that will transmit information alerts. Fiber optic cable can send and receive in both analog and digital formats, and can have online video, voice, and internet packets. Some new cable designers will actually give built-in bend limits to protect the glass within.

Although copper wires is often spliced and mended as lots of times as needed, it really is considerably harder to fix glass fiber-optic cables. And this time it is not all dependent on just one market (though Liquid crystal display glass is huge). We have the Liquid crystal display glass, auto/diesel catalytic converter substrates, and fiber. Theoretical perform showing that gentle loss in glass fibers could be decreased dramatically spurred experimental efforts to produce these types of fibers. Researchers continued exploring techniques to decrease mild loss in optical fibers.

Every different fiber optic connection guide includes a radius limiting portion that will prevents fiber optic cables from getting bent beyond ones own minimum bend radii. The fiber optic cables have very clear advantages over the copper mineral cables. There is far more security, and the linens optic cables become more reliable than other wire available. Your fiber optic cord is in the huge voltage environment. Dry-band voltage of the toxified sheath's surface with the all-dielectric self-supporting fiber content optic cable is normally analyzed in this cardstock.

The fiber optic cable 700, proven in FIG. A FIMT core 702 includes an inside tube 706 bordering one or more optical staple fibers 708. The dietary fiber optic cable could be the main choice designed for high speed Online connections and the primary materials used for country to help you country or region to continent Online connections. By moving the bond type from birdwatcher to fiber optics it will allow the DisplayPort to achieve higher bandwidths which are necessary for HIGH DEFINITION playback and if you thought about that there are a lot of activities that you can play online, streaming them with the DisplayPort directly to ones own LCD TV might be a particular option the industry will take in the near future. That fiber optic line can be installed effortlessly from point to stage, passing right near to major sources of EMI with no effect. Change from copper sites is easy with media channels converters, gadgets which convert most different types of systems to soluble fiber optics.

The linens optic cable putting together includes a bundle associated with fiber optic materials, a tube, some track, a plurality of fasteners along with securing means. This tube has a top surface and a back surface. The fiber content optic cable communicates the photon to your second quantum us dot that also has become sitting between a couple mirrors. In this case, this mirrors "catch" your photon and reversal it off the quantum dot until the application finally absorbs this. The fiber optic cable has an stop that is stripped. Your stripped end carries a bare fiber this extends into the connection and through the ferrule.

The fiber optic cable carries many services throughout campus including: voice, training video, cable TV, and info. In addition to having the dietary fiber cable in place, better fiber cable TV submitter equipment became even more readily available at a inexpensive. The fiber optic cable and the len's allows the the windshield wonder electronics to be maintained away from the target setting where it would be the subject of higher temperatures, smoke cigars, dust, steam and also powerful electromagnetic emissions such as generated simply by induction heating. The two stainless steel lens together with rugged cable putting your unit together can be replaced with the field without coming back again the instrument with regard to calibration (a distinctive feature). The Fiber content Optic Cable Motorized inflator is designed for the installation of soluble fiber optic cables along with diameters from 0. 23" (5. 8 mm) to 1. 13" (28. 7 mm) into innerduct because of 0. 98" (25 mm) outer dimension to 1. 97" (50. 0 mm) surface diameter. The correct dimensions cable seals, rss feed tube and venturi must be determined to your cable being applied.

The fiber optic cable receives suggestions from the reflection from the internal 3/4 micron diameter sphere surface area. The IS1 is good for portable color proportions and acts to be a cosine receptor meant for irradiance measurements. A fiber optic cable tv (20) includes a brightness carrying center (28), a cladding (30) and a buffer (32). The cladding displacement connector (10) provides surfaces (60, 62) which can be used for displacing the buffer (32) and cladding (30) to expose (34) the light using center (28).

Fiber-optic wires carry information and facts in the form of light. To generate a fiber-optic nanowire, planners first start with a daily fiber-optic cable. Fiber-optic cable is now getting used to transport both videos and audio alerts for short and additionally long distances. This is certainly made possible by modulating a video/audio signal(s) onto a grin of coherent lightweight, which is generated by way of solid-state laser.

Fiber-optic cables are not crimped, soldered, or garbled together when they can be repaired. If the connection is broken, a further cable must be lower to fit between the a pair of connectors. Fiber-optic solutions is well known in telecom, local area networks, a CCTV security economy and in many Clever Transportation System (ITS) highway projects. Perhaps even CATV (cable) circulation to various neighborhood feed points inside of a residential community currently is routine for linens.

Network operators 're looking to recoup the price tag on the fiber-optic cord and other infrastructure items that make a high-speed Internet possible. That they argue that the updates are necessary to deliver like innovations as high-definition video-on-demand and high-quality teleconferencing. Our normal fiber-optic ribbon cables and wires provide superior tensile strength and reluctance to cut-through in addition to abrasion while keeping flexibility. Cables are around for aerospace and other asking for applications. The fiber-optic cable did not make it easy for that.

glass, eye glasses

Fiber Optic wiring is made with wineglass fibers. Provide little or no variation in the rule they carry above long distances. Optical engineers have found of which adding different even more chemicals to the standard silicon dioxide they are change the optical properties of the decanter or glass. By adding roughly 4% germanium dioxide (GeO2), for example , they can produce a glass that has way less attenuation, and much 'flatter' attenuation across diverse frequencies of gentle, than silicon dioxide by itself. Although fabric can be made out of whether plastic or a glass, the fibers utilised in long-distance telecommunications functions are always magnifying glaas, because of the lower optical absorption of wineglass. The light fed through the fiber can be confined due to entire internal reflection with the material.

FYI, fiber content optic (the key of it, not layer to cover it) is manufactured out of glass and not cheap. The fiber optic strands of decanter or glass (optic fibers) after only fiber optic cable connections carry analog or even digital signals by means of light waves. Long distance and capabilities increase even more once the a glass becomes more natural.

Remembering the trouble and the brilliant along with white light from excessive SiO2 glass, Rich knew that the solution would be ultra real SiO2. Richard as well knew that Corning made high wholesomeness SiO2 powder, by way of oxidizing pure SiCl4 into SiO2. NEP Supershooters has adapters that work for the fiber by bursting out the magnifying glaas, but this means that that camera must be influenced from the closest power outlet or power generator. It's just one much more thing to go bad if the power advert gets pulled or simply the generator ceases. A fibre optic cable consists of a wineglass silica core by which light is well guided. This is covered which has a material with a refractive index of a bit less than the major.

The core and also the cladding (which carries a lower-refractive-index ) are generally made of high-quality silica glass, although they're able to both be made from plastic as well. Attaching two optical dust is done by combination splicing or hardware splicing and necessitates special skills along with interconnection technology with the microscopic precision important to align the dietary fiber cores. A type of line that transmits facts as light because of strands of decanter or glass instead of electricity with copper. Fiber-optic cable tv is a wonderful thing; it may transmit almost ridiculous amounts of data a second, and it is entirely impervious to rise s, magnetic job areas, lightning, and all of those other EM nasties which will affect copper connection. Fiber optic data files transmission uses lighting in glass soluble fiber cable as a transmission medium. It is suited to spanning areas by using severe interference, like near heavy electrical power equipment, welding and radio transmissions.

Dietary fiber optics are skinny filaments of a glass through which light cross-bow supports are transmitted. Features of fiber include higher information carrying quantity (bandwidth), very low malfunction rates and insensitivity to electromagnetic disturbance. Then, the empty glass (125 mm) is cleaned together with set in place using a special laser underneath a custom graphic mask that is establish 50 mm higher than the cable. The moment the laser performs her cycle, the meeting is now customized. Abraham Van Heel included a bare linens or glass and also plastic with a clear cladding of cheaper refractive index. That protected the total look surface from disease and greatly lessened cross talk involving fibers.

Fiber-optic cord consists of glass staple fibers, allowing for significantly large transfer speeds in comparison to copper. Data tend to be transmitted in the form of brightness pulses injected with a laser or a particular LED. The line uses glass materials instead of copper wiring to transmit conversing and data. AT&T's old cables usually are shark- absolutely free because they don't send out much magnetism. A glass cables need to be custom-cut so that they have a excellent crisp edge that does not scatter the lightweight, but their naff cousins can be cut on the jobsite. Even now, no ordinary insert cutter will do.

From your technical standpoint, fiber content optic cable is made up of bundle of magnifying glaas or plastic supports that can transmit knowledge signals. Fiber optic cable can send out and receive within both analog and additionally digital formats, and may carry video, approach, and internet packets. Some new cable tv designers will truly provide built-in extend limits to protect this glass within.

Although copper wires is usually spliced and mended as many times when needed, it is a lot of harder to fix wineglass fiber-optic cables. This also time it's not most dependent on one economy (though LCD decanter or glass is huge). There is the LCD a glass, auto/diesel catalytic converter substrates, and dietary fiber. Theoretical work displaying that light the loss in glass fabric could be decreased considerably spurred experimental initiatives to produce such dust. Researchers continued searching techniques to decrease gentle loss in optical fibers.

VR and PTSD (3MDR)

Virtual reality (VR) can help to improve the quality of life for veterans experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after returning from duty. For this portion of research a method of VR known as 3MDR will be looked at.

Introduction

All over the world, brave women and men join the forces in order to protect what they love. These people see things that many others could never imagine and often come home as a different person than when they left. 

Many of them face the everyday struggles of post traumatic stress disorder or PTSD. This disorder often develops in people that have lived through a scary, shocking or dangerous life event (National Institute of Mental Health, n.d).The symptoms can include flashbacks, anger issues, easily startled, avoiding people or places that remind them of the event, etc (National Institute of Mental Health, n.d). In terms of treatment, there are medications (often antidepressants) that can help with some of the symptoms, however it is highly recommended that therapy be a large part of treatment. This therapy is often the generic type in which you sit with a mental health professional and talk about your experiences and work through them, although there is a new type of therapy emerging specifically for veterans with PTSD. This therapy includes the use of virtual reality or VR. Veterans are put into a simulation of their traumatic events, and with the help of a therapist, work through them and overcome them.

Now often when the general population think of VR, it looks something like this:

Image credit:  Achinbm - pixabay

But the VR being used to treat veterans is much more intense and requires a lot more technology and personnel to operate. In this portion I will be focusing on 3MDR (Motion-Assisted, Multi-Modal Memory Desensitization and Reconsolidation), which was developed in the Netherlands to treat veterans after missions to Afghanistan (University of Alberta - Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, n.d). This technology is now being tested worldwide including a large study being done in Canada (University of Alberta - Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine, n.d).

3MDR

To introduce you to the idea of 3MDR is a short video made by Cardiff University and FiMT.

Treatment Intensity

The VR setup for 3MDR is incredibly different. Instead of wearing a headset, the user looks at a large screen that covers about 180 degrees of their vision. From there, the user is tethered to a support system and put on a treadmill. As the user walks, the images on the screen move and around them sounds begin to play. An example image of the setup can be seen below.

Image credit: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-49880915

There is also an area for the therapist to stand in order to have constant communication with the user. 

The intensity difference between 3MDR and general therapy are drastic. General therapy typically happens every two to four weeks and is not something that is expected to go on forever. 3MDR is necessary every week in order for the treatment to be successful and the sooner it is started the better. A study conducted research to see if a delay in treatment would make a difference and in the beginning, the immediate treatment group had a 19% greater reduction in symptoms than those who had delayed treatment (NCMH (National Centre for Mental Health), 2021). However in the long run the groups ended up evening out and both responded well to the treatment. General therapy is also available to everyone and does not require a psychologist, as it can be given by a counselor, psychiatrist, social worker, etc. In order for 3MDR to be successful, a qualified psychologist that has experience with the equipment, as well as working with veterans, is required.

Due to the size of the equipment and technology needed for 3MDR, the treatment is not available everywhere. Only specific research facilities have the capability to house such a large network of machines. There is also the issue of the machine consuming a lot of power, meaning a normal household could not run the system efficiently. Someday it may be possible to create smaller versions of the system, but as of right now that is not the main concern for the research. Using normal VR is something available to most households (assuming it can be afforded) that does not take up a lot of space as it only consists of a headset and some controllers, no computer necessary. 

Treatment Success Thus Far

Virtual Reality has been shown to be rather effective thus far when it comes to treating veterans with PTSD, especially when using the 3MDR technology. Taking a further look into the statistics and opinions of the veterans, this section will explain how the use of 3MDR is life changing and improves their overall quality of life.

The first statistic is from a study conducted by Cardiff University and Cardiff and Vale University Health Board (CVUHB). They stated that of the 42 veterans who took part in the trials, two thirds of them saw an improvement in their symptoms of about 37% (Morgan, 2019).

The next piece of information to look at is the overall success that each study has experienced even if their timelines have differed. Every study that has been looked at for this research has claimed to have overwhelming success with the treatment. Some do claim that the treatment is not for everyone, but that overall there are more successes than failures. 

Lastly the accounts of the veterans themselves are overwhelmingly positive. Although they may have found some of the treatment to be difficult, there was an overall feeling of being able to return to a semi-normal life. Many of the veterans were able to do things they had never imagined being able to do again, such as go on vacation with their family. Veterans also stated feeling empowered and as though they could be able to handle any remaining symptoms of their PTSD (Harutyunyan et al., 2021).

Conclusion

Although 3MDR has had great success during it’s use, there are still some issues that the technology faces. The complexity of the setup as well as personnel needed to run the machinery make it difficult for this technology to be available to anyone and everyone, which is the hope for the future. Due to the success there is continued research going on about the methods of 3MDR, with many of the taking place in North America and Europe. With continued research there is the possibility of perfecting the treatment and making sure that all those who need it can have access to it.
