![]() Walking in the Grand Palais in Paris, Crusoe pointed at a sports car and asked Walker, "Why can't we have something like that?" Some versions of the story claim that Walker replied by telling Crusoe, "Oh, we're working on it". Crusoe and Walker met in France in October 1951. Hershey's participation in the creation of the Thunderbird was more administrative than artistic. Boyer was the lead stylist on the original 1955 two-seater Thunderbird and also had input in the following series of Thunderbirds that included the 30th Anniversary Edition. The Thunderbird was similar in concept, but was more American in style, more luxurious, and less sport-oriented.Ĭredit for the development of the original Thunderbird is given to Lewis Crusoe, a former GM executive lured out of retirement by Henry Ford II George Walker, chief stylist and a Ford vice president Frank Hershey, chief stylist for the Ford Division Bill Boyer, designer for the Body Development Studio, who became the manager of the Thunderbird Studio in the spring of 1955 and Bill Burnett, chief engineer. The completed one-off generated interest at the time, but had meager power, European looks, and a correspondingly high cost, so it never proceeded to production. ![]() Development Ī smaller two-seater sports roadster was developed at the behest of Henry Ford II in 1953 called the Vega. Thunderbird production ended in 1997, then briefly resumed as a two-passenger, marketed from 2002 to 2005.įrom its introduction in 1955 to its final phaseout in 2005, Ford produced over 4.4 million Thunderbirds. Sales were good until the 1990s when large two-door coupes became unpopular. Succeeding generations became larger until the line was downsized in 1977, again in 1980, and once again in 1983. For 1958, the Thunderbird was redesigned with a second row of seats. Ford positioned the Thunderbird as an upscale model and it is credited in developing a new market segment, the personal luxury car. Unlike the Chevrolet Corvette, it was not marketed as a sports car. The Thunderbird entered production for the 1955 model year as a sporty two-seat convertible. Introduced as a two-seat convertible, the Thunderbird was offered variously as a four-seat hardtop coupe, four-seat convertible, five-seat convertible and hardtop, four-door pillared hardtop sedan, six-passenger hardtop coupe, and five-passenger pillared coupe, with the final generation designed again as a two-seat convertible.įord targeted the two-seat Thunderbird as an upscale model, but the 1958 model year design introduced a rear seat and arguably marked the expansion of a market segment eventually known as personal luxury cars, positioned to emphasize comfort and convenience over handling and high-speed performance. The Ford Thunderbird (colloquially called the T-Bird) is a personal luxury car manufactured and marketed by Ford from model years 1955-2005 (with a 1997-2002 hiatus), across 11 generations. Sports car (first and eleventh generations).

![]() I'm in no way against this kind of movie, or direct-to-DVD action entities, but it all comes down to development and execution, and that's where Peppermint slips up, having peaked at the idea stage. It's easy to understand the appeal of the lurid revenge fantasy, but they require more effort than Peppermint is willing to provide if they're to rise above the litany of direct-to-DVD drivel. This is basically another Death Wish-style grisly revenge thriller when, as a true sign of how repeated this formula has become, we already even had a literal Death Wish remake with Bruce Willis earlier in 2018. She takes her one-woman crusade against the gang, the cartel, and the corrupt judges and lawyers who serve them, while the police, lead by John Gallagher Jr., try and stop her from going too far and becoming the very monster that she's been fighting to protect others from. ![]() When she returns, she's become a ninja trained in an array of weapons. A corrupt legal system lets the killers go free and Riley disappears for five years. Then one day Latinx gang members brazenly gun down her husband and child. Our heroine, Riley North (Garner), started as mild-mannered mom and bank teller. ![]() As asinine and odd as this whole endeavor reads for you, this might actually be the best part of Peppermint, a rote and tiresome action exercise that does too little too often and squanders the resources of a perfectly game Garner. "blood" mystery can ever be resolved, the filmmakers decided to cut the entire verbal exchange from the finished version, leaving no reason for Peppermint to be called Peppermint other than the daughter's passing affinity for the ice cream flavor. If I concentrate on either interpretation, I can hear it. Try it yourself and see what you hear, then listen for the other word (it's like the new yanny/laurel aural conundrum). She has "love in her heart, snow in her eyes," and the final claim, "peppermint in her blood." At least I'm certain it's got to be "blood," because the first time I watched this trailer and my ears got a hold of that line, it genuinely sounded like Garner was saying "peppermint in her butt." This flummoxed me and even more so that they would name the movie after this. It opens with Jennifer Garner repeating the precious nursery rhyme claim about her daughter's virtues. I invite all my readers to re-watch the trailer for Peppermint and apply this simple listening test. ![]() The subject of this project, a 1967 Elliott TRM 250 paper tape reader features photoelectric sensing and a transport system that enables reading speeds of up to 250 characters/sec. Paper tape reader transport mechanisms required a major rethink. In extreme cases the sprocket acted like a circular saw resulting in no tape movement at all. After only a few starts, the sprocket holes in the paper became oval, ruining the alignment accuracy and leading to read errors. The trouble was once again our old friend inertia, this time in the form of the tape’s resistance to move as the sprocket began to turn. Those readers used an electric motor driving a sprocket wheel whose teeth engaged with the sync holes in the tape. Unfortunately, the early motorised tape transport systems then became the blocking factor for speeds much above 100 characters/sec. Hence the hole-sensing system ceased to be a limitation on reading speed. The solution was to use a strong light source combined with a set of electronic photosensors instead. The inertia of the spring contacts rapidly becomes a big problem when the tape is pulled through at much more than 10 characters/sec - the contact doesn't have enough time to drop through a hole and make an electrical connection before the tape moves on. In practice, some sort of motorised tape transport is more convenient, especially when a big program or data file is to be loaded into computer memory. In theory, the tape can be pulled through by hand because the sync channel ensures the data channels are ‘sampled’ at the right time. It is possible to build a working reader based on a row of spring-metal strips that drop through the holes making electrical contact with a metal plate on the other side of the tape. ![]() In order to read the tape, all you need is a row of hole sensors across the tape path with the smaller sync hole being used to indicate when a data character is properly lined up. ![]() Later, the width of ‘standard’ paper tape was increased to 1 in. wide able to accommodate a 5-bit code character plus a sprocket or sync hole across its width. Early teleprinter communication systems based on Baudot code used a narrow tape, 11/16 in. The basic principle of punched paper tape storage of digital data is hardly sophisticated: a strip of paper is punched with holes representing a logic 1 on a 0.1 in. Paper tape was ideal for small systems like the 903 before the invention of high-capacity semiconductor RAM and the floppy disk drive. There was no room for what we would call an Operating System (OS) controlling a mass storage device such as a mag tape unit. This 18-bit computer only possessed up to 16 kwords of working memory or RAM and could only run one program at a time. For the small desk-size machines such as the Elliott 903, paper tape offered a much cheaper and simpler alternative. The first commercial computers of the 1950s were able to use magnetic tape for mass storage, but mag tape units were very expensive and complex to drive. Punched paper tape had been used to control looms in the 18 th century. That doesn’t just mean spare-part availability, it includes features to aid fault location and easy access to case internals – screwed not glued. Repairability: In order to provide a lifetime somewhat longer than a year, any equipment containing moving parts must be designed for service and repair.Read on to see an example of how they did it. Admittedly, old computer equipment seems to have been designed for a 100-year lifetime of brutal misuse, and that turned out to be excessive. Nowadays, our throw-away society and its impact on dwindling global resources is looking decidedly ‘unsustainable’. Design to last: More seriously, in those days the phrase ‘built-in obsolescence’ had no place in the lexicon of engineering terms.Nostalgia: I’ve used one of these things for real while working as a student engineer in the 1970s and want to relive the whole punched paper tape ‘experience’.I’ve never seen it work and that bugs me. Because it’s there: indeed it is, sat on a shelf for the last thirty years gathering dust. ![]() OK, so what’s the point of interfacing a piece of 55-year-old storage technology to a modern computer system? Well…. The gadget on the right is a hand punch for ‘manual’ tape editing. This machine is a tape reader, specifically a 250 character/sec TRM250 from Elliott Automation. Before floppy disks, punched paper tape was used for program and data storage on most ‘desk’ computers up until the late 1970s.

Some of the most stringent restrictions relate to mass quarantines or stay-at-home orders, herein described as lockdowns, which have often been coupled with the shutdown of parts of the economy. Responses have varied globally in terms of the stringency of measures imposed, and they have also changed over time. These include restrictions on gatherings, quarantines, movement and travel restrictions, curfews, business closures, the mandated use of personal protective equipment, mass community infection testing and contact tracing, and more recently vaccination efforts. ![]() Globally, many public health measures have been employed by governments to reduce viral transmission during the coronavirus pandemic.

Michelangelo studied sculpture under Bertoldo di Giovanni. Consequently, both Michelangelo's outlook and his art were subject to the influence of many of the most prominent philosophers and writers of the day including Marsilio Ficino, Pico della Mirandola, and Angelo Poliziano. He absorbed Renaissance Neoplatonism through his direct contact with some of the great Renaissance humanist philosophers of the Medici Court. įrom 1490 to 1492, Michelangelo attended the Humanist academy which the Medici had founded. It was then that Michelangelo first began writing down his deepest thoughts in poetry, which he continued to do for the rest of his life. Michelangelo was thrown into the midst of the Medici circle, where he was involved with poetry, science, philosophy, and art. Lorenzo even offered Michelangelo's father Lodovico a respectable position in the palace. Lorenzo had taken notice of Michelangelo's unusual talent and, wishing to encourage him, proposed for Michelangelo to move into the palace and live there as his son to be educated along with the Medici children. When in 1489 Lorenzo de' Medici ("Lorenzo il Magnifico ), de facto ruler of Florence, asked Ghirlandaio for his two best pupils, Ghirlandaio sent Michelangelo and Francesco Granacci. When Michelangelo was only fourteen, his father persuaded Ghirlandaio to pay his apprentice as an artist, which was highly unusual at the time. At thirteen, Michelangelo was apprenticed to the painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. The young artist, however, showed no interest in his schooling, preferring to copy paintings from churches and seek the company of painters. Michelangelo's father sent him to study grammar with the Renaissance humanist Francesco da Urbino in Florence as a young boy. Following his initial work for Lorenzo de' Medici, Michelangelo's interactions with the family continued for decades including the Medici papacies of Pope Leo X and Pope Clement VII.ĭespite pauses and turbulence in the relationship between Michelangelo and his Medici patrons, it was commissions from the Medici Popes that produced some of Michelangelo's finest work, including the completion of the tomb of Pope Julius II with its monumental sculpture of Moses, and The Last Judgement, a complex fresco covering the altar wall of the Sistine Chapel (the earlier Sistine Chapel ceiling was not a Medici commission).īeginnings with the Medici Lorenzo de Medici by Michelangelo in Medici Chapel, Florence ![]() Michelangelo's first contact with the Medici family began early as a talented teenage apprentice of the Florentine painter Domenico Ghirlandaio. They amassed a sizable fortune some of which was used for patronage of the arts. The Medici rose to prominence as Florence's preeminent bankers. Michelangelo (6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564) had a complicated relationship with the Medici family, who were for most of his lifetime the effective rulers of his home city of Florence.
