That being said, there are a few catalogues which offer bnpl on all products and no payment is required for up to 3 months. ![]() This credit plan is usually only available with expensive products like large appliances or furniture. 1BNPLīuy now pay later is exactly how it sounds in that you buy the product immediately, and don't pay for it until a later date. That being said, it's important to mention that some products are of the type which you simply need to touch or try on before being able to make a decision, so home shopping catalogues are not the be all and end all.įor more information on home vs high street, you can find out more here.īelow you'll find our explanation as well as the advantages and disadvantages of the finance options offered by credit catalogues. The selection is greater, there's no need to drive or park, price comparison is alot easier, and the whole process can be a lot quicker. ![]() Shopping at home is a fairly obvious benefit when compared to the high street. Buy now pay later is rarely offered with these stores. As such, they normally charge higher interest rates and sometimes ask for a deposit. Pay weekly catalogues are a particular group that often target customers who don't have great credit ratings. Interest free periods are also available although these catalogues tend to have strict credit checks and are thus harder with which to get accepted. Most of these retailers offer some form of spread the cost finance plan, where the customer can pay back the price of their purchases in monthly installments. This is the main reason why these catalogues offer credit, purely to increase the chance that you as a customer will buy from them. 2Credit OptionsĪ catalogue with credit options can be a huge incentive when shopping online from home, especially considering the range of products they stock. The majority of these are womens fashion catalogues which focus around different age ranges or sizes, i.e. Then there's the other sort of catalogue which specialises solely in one type of product. Some of these catalogues also boast a large selection of electrical items like laptops, tvs, tablets, consoles and mobile phones.

It is through her eyes that we see most of the film - follow her closely throughout the film if you want to get hold of the plot - and it is the changes in her character that we feel the most strongly about. If I were to talk about a protagonist, it would be Emily. ![]() But, it is also evident, that ‘he’ is not the same person. There is a particularly shocking scene in which the host of the dinner party comes to know that his wife has been cheating on him. It forces you to think how you would behave if you were put in the same situation. While ‘Primer’ touched on it only during its end, Coherence manages to make the characters its strength. It is a close character study on the effects of an unnatural phenomenon. The movie is not solely about its concept. I would not try to explain each and every scene and the ramifications of it, because, frankly, there are too many explanations. In the film, due to passing of the comet, the realities that are not chosen don’t collapse, but continue to exist, and that’s what makes the whole plot complex and interesting. Depending on the decision of the airlines agent, one reality will collapse whereas the other reality will live on. At that moment, before the airlines agent makes a decision to whether to let you in or not, two realities exist in one of them you board the plane and in another you don’t. You reach the check-in desk exactly at 3:30 pm. You have to check-in at least half-an-hour before the departure time, otherwise the airlines won’t allow you to board the flight. So, to explain it through an example: Let’s say you have to board a flight, which is scheduled to depart at 4 pm. But what is exactly Schrödinger’s cat theory? In simple terms, it is the possibility of existence of multiple simultaneous realities at the same time. ‘Coherence’ is essentially based on a scientific theory referred to as Schrödinger’s cat theory. But unlike ‘Primer’, some answers become easily evident. Like ‘Primer’, there is a lot going on suddenly and a lot to wrap your head around. A clever plot device-the loss of cell phone signal because of the passing of a comet-is introduced early on and becomes the anchor of the movie. Such a start would seem like a gamble but the execution here is especially noteworthy because there is a sense of unease in the air. This is very important as it rapidly lures the viewer into a rather humdrum conversation about relationships and family and normal dinner chit-chat. A very unassuming start, of course, but it sets the mood effectively. ![]() The movie starts off with a group of friends meeting for dinner. It’s good that the title doesn’t give anything away and you get into the movie with a sense of wonder. Today, we are going to talk about another speculative gem of a movie – ‘Coherence’. VLC does support HEVC codec and there should be HEVC related modules installed by default. Try our following troubleshooting steps one by one: However, when my VLC 3.0.7.1 plays HEVC-codec video, there still appears small jumps and artifacts, and sometimes the image totally freezes.

Both provide API that is used by video transcoders like FFmpeg and HandBrake, as well as free video editors like OpenShot and Avidemux. x264 and x265 are developed by VideoLAN (VLC) for video encoding. HEVC is video coding standard while x265 is free and open-source software library. What's the Difference between HEVC and x265? No wonder UHD 4K/large videos prefer HEVC codec now.Ħ. Videos encoded in HEVC/H.265 from 480p to 2160p are only half the size of those in AVC/H.264 or so, because of the 35.4% to 64% average bit rate reduction, better still, with comparable quality.HEVC video won't play error, notably on Windows 10/11 or VLC, happens from time to time. As of now, H.264 is more widely acceptable than HEVC.Roughly speaking, HEVC is an updated version of H.264. HEVC and H.265 are the same thing, named by different groups, just like AVC and H.264. At the same file size, HEVC delivers much higher image quality than H.264. At the same quality, HEVC saves around 50% of your space.

Hunt using an irregular pentagon (shown on the right). Another spiral tiling was published 1985 by Michael D. The first such pattern was discovered by Heinz Voderberg in 1936 and used a concave 11-sided polygon (shown on the left). Lu, a physicist at Harvard, metal quasicrystals have "unusually high thermal and electrical resistivities due to the aperiodicity" of their atomic arrangements.Īnother set of interesting aperiodic tessellations is spirals. The geometries within five-fold symmetrical aperiodic tessellations have become important to the field of crystallography, which since the 1980s has given rise to the study of quasicrystals. According to ArchNet, an online architectural library, the exterior surfaces "are covered entirely with a brick pattern of interlacing pentagons." An early example is Gunbad-i Qabud, an 1197 tomb tower in Maragha, Iran. The patterns were used in works of art and architecture at least 500 years before they were discovered in the West. Medieval Islamic architecture is particularly rich in aperiodic tessellation. There are also tessellations used for spiritual or religious purposes and decorations. We have tessellations that man creates for a visual appeal in housing and other architecture. There are natural tessellations that just occur in different situations around us. These movements are termed rigid motions and symmetries. Tessellations are used in many different realms. The topic of tessellations belongs to a field in mathematics called transformational geometry, which is a study of the ways objects can be moved while retaining the same shape and size. These tessellations do not have repeating patterns. We will explore how tessellations are created and experiment with making some of our own as well. Notice how each gecko is touching six others. The following "gecko" tessellation, inspired by similar Escher designs, is based on a hexagonal grid. By their very nature, they are more interested in the way the gate is opened than in the garden that lies behind it." In doing so, they have opened the gate leading to an extensive domain, but they have not entered this domain themselves. This further inspired Escher, who began exploring deeply intricate interlocking tessellations of animals, people and plants.Īccording to Escher, "Crystallographers have … ascertained which and how many ways there are of dividing a plane in a regular manner. His brother directed him to a 1924 scientific paper by George Pólya that illustrated the 17 ways a pattern can be categorized by its various symmetries. According to James Case, a book reviewer for the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), in 1937, Escher shared with his brother sketches from his fascination with 11 th- and 12 th-century Islamic artwork of the Iberian Peninsula. The most famous practitioner of this is 20 th-century artist M.C. Escher & modified monohedral tessellationsĪ unique art form is enabled by modifying monohedral tessellations. Finally, color your design with markers, colored pencils or crayons.A dual of a regular tessellation is formed by taking the center of each shape as a vertex and joining the centers of adjacent shapes. (Remember that whatever details you add to one shape, will need to be added to EVERY shape! Keep your details simple.)ĩ. Trace over your pencil lines with a Sharpie and add details to each shape to help others recognize what you “saw” in it. Repeat this step until your whole paper is covered and there are no gaps or spaces.Ĩ. There shouldn’t be any gaps or overlapping. Now, pick up your tile and place it next to your traced design, as if it were a piece fitting into a jigsaw puzzle. (I use 12″x18″ paper when I do this with 6th graders.)Ħ. Place your tile on the center of a 9″x12″ paper and carefully trace around it. Lightly sketch your idea onto your tile…. Turn your newly created shape (we’ll call this your “tile”) in different directions and use your imagination to see if it “looks like” anything. ![]() (For older students, you can make this project more challenging by having them repeat this step on an adjacent side of their card, as in the sample project above.)Ĥ. If you include a corner in your cut, it makes it easier to line the shape up on the opposite side. ![]() Now, tape the shape so that it is exactly across from the spot you cut it from. (The lines on your index card will show you if you’ve flipped or turned it!)ģ. Next, cut a shape from one side of your 3″x3′ card, and slide it to the opposite side of the card, without flipping it over or turning it. Polygon – a shape with three or more sidesĢ. Tessellation – a pattern made with polygons that completely fills a space with no gaps, spaces or overlaps. Escher – a Dutch artist (1898-1972) who is best known for his mathematically inspired drawings and prints which displayed great realism, while at the same time showing impossible perspective, eye trickery and metamorphosis. |
