![]() ![]() Tension arises when Biff and Willy begin to argue over Linda. As the discussion continues, Biff, Happy, and Linda exaggerate facts, add details, and adopt confident attitudes in order to maintain Willy's fantasy. Thus, Willy believes Oliver is already funding Biff, while Biff desperately tries to tell him he has not even seen Oliver yet. Each time Biff makes a statement, Willy interrupts him and interprets the partial statement as he wants it to be. The problem is that Biff wants to be honest with Willy, but Willy will not give him the chance. As a result, he immediately begins to dictate what Biff should do when he visits Oliver. Willy feels he has finally achieved a position of authority and respect again. Up until this point, Willy has relied upon favorite memories - memories in which Biff adores him - rather than accept the disintegrating relationship with his oldest son. ![]() Although the scene opens with an argument between Willy and Biff, the scene shifts as Biff attempts to reconcile with his father. Willy gives in and goes to bed.įor the first time since the play's beginning, everything appears to be coming together for Willy during Scene 11. Linda attempts to stop the argument, but then Willy accuses her of siding with Biff. ![]() Biff argues with Willy over his treatment of Linda. Throughout the scene, Linda repeatedly says words of encouragement as Biff and Happy describe the plan however, Willy yells at her for interrupting the conversation. Happy recommends going into business with Biff with a line of sporting goods known as the Loman Line. First, he directs Biff to be serious and avoid telling jokes, and then he contradicts himself and advises Biff to assume a confident air and tell old stories. Willy instructs Biff on how much money to ask for, what to wear, how to speak, and what to talk about. Biff describes his plan to open his own business. Willy becomes excited when Happy informs him of Biff's plan to speak to Bill Oliver. Willy confronts Biff and tells him to go back to Texas. Willy returns from his walk and overhears that some people think he is "crazy," while others just laugh at him. ![]()

![]() ![]() "They had a small object, a little bump," Alù told Live Science. He is skeptical that scientists can create the kind of illusion Zhang describes. It's also thin and light, according to the researchers.īut there is one disadvantage: If Harry Potter were wearing this cloak, he'd have to stay still for it to work, since the tuning has to be matched to the background.Īndrea Alù, an associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, has done extensive research on cloaking systems. The reflection trick also works from any angle, and the cloak doesn't have to be a certain shape - it can be wrapped around anything, and the effect still works. "You could cover a tank with it and make it look like a bicycle," he added.Īlthough the cloak Zhang and his colleagues made is tuned to hide objects from light reflected at a wavelength of 730 nanometers, there's no reason it can't work with multiple wavelengths, Zhang said. If the cloak were big enough, theoretically, you could drape it over anything. With the proper tuning of the gold bricks, it's not hard to make the reflected light look like anything you want - either the background of the object (a floor, for example) or something else entirely, Zhang told Live Science. Even the edges are invisible with the new device, the researchers said. ![]() (Phase is an angle measurement that tells you how far along a light wave you are two waves 180 degrees out of phase cancel out.) The ultrathin cloak creates an effect that makes it seem like the light were hitting a perfect mirror and the cloak and object weren't even there. The new invisibility cloak changes that: The gold bricks reflect the light in such a way that the light's phase and frequency are both preserved. As a result, reflected light appears as colors (when some is absorbed), or reflection, depending on the object. The waves of light will also sometimes create interference patterns. Ordinarily, light reflecting off an object (even a glass mirror) will scatter at least a little, especially if the shape is irregular. The tiny object appeared to be invisible because the gold antennas controlled the scattering of the light that reflects off of it, the scientists explained. The light scattering from the cloak still bounced off the object, but without revealing where the object was - as though there were just a flat mirror in its place, the researchers said. Shining a light, with a wavelength of 730 nanometers, or near-infrared, they found that it reflected back almost perfectly. The scientists then wrapped up a tiny, irregularly shaped object measuring about 36 microns across, or a bit more than one-thousandth of an inch. (For comparison, an average strand of human hair is about 100,000 nanometers wide.) The "bricks" were built in six different sizes, ranging from about 30 to 220 nanometers long and 90 to 175 nanometers wide. Led by Xiang Zhang, director of materials science at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, the group constructed a thin film consisting of a 50-nanometer-thick layer of magnesium fluoride topped by a varying pattern of tiny, brick-shaped gold antennas, each 30 nanometers thick. It can also be "tuned" to match whatever background is behind it - or can even create illusions of what's there, they added. But a new cloak avoids that problem, and is thin and flexible enough to be wrapped around an object of any shape, the researchers said. Invisibility cloaks are designed to bend light around an object, but materials that do this are typically hard to shape and only work from narrow angles - if you walk around the cloaked object, for instance, it's visible. ![]() Now, researchers have built an ultrathin "invisibility cloak" that gets around this problem, by turning objects into perfect, flat mirrors. ![]() In the movie "Predator," an alien uses a cloaking device to hide in plain sight, but the effect is far from perfect: The alien's attempt to conceal itself is thwarted by distortions of light bending around it. ![]() ![]() Golden launched the TSR Ravenloft line in 1991 with her first novel, the highly successful Vampire of the Mists, which introduced elven vampire Jander Sunstar. 999, which won the Colorado Author's League Top Hand Award for Best Genre Novel of 1999.

But no, the action is well mixed between sections: one minute you're punching multiple enemies in the face, the next you're duel-wielding sub-machine guns and blasting your way to victory. Uppercuts, left hooks and plenty of ducking and diving are the key to winning.įor the briefest time, we though Superhot VR might have been a boxing simulator (and one heck of a cardio workout). Many sections within levels start without a weapon of any sort and you have to punch your way out of danger. If you fire multiple bullets then it leads to a quick burst of time, which makes things more hectic. Shooting also has to account for speed of movement. Each gun you come across only has one clip worth of bullets and you have to make sure your shot is on target too – so shooting where they're going to be, not where they are is essential. When we started with Superhot VR, we quickly realised just how limited ammo was. That is, of course, if you can break the habit of wanting to go guns blazing as soon as you get a chance. This style of bullet time design also gives you time to breathe and contemplate each and every move, unlike other games. With the power to control time like this, you feel somewhat super-human, with the ability to influence the world around you with the simple flick of a wrist. Sometimes when unarmed, you have to purposely move to push time on, to see where the enemy is going and force them to come within striking distance. We soon found we were spinning a hand in mid-air like we were trying to fast-forward the game rather than shuffling around on our feet. Turn your head to assess where they are and you're met with a hail of incoming rounds. This means that if there are multiple enemies shooting at you, their bullets come in more quickly as you shoot back. And the faster you move, the faster they move. The twist, of course, is that moving makes your enemies move too. You have to punch, shoot, stab and smash your way to victory as you fight for your life. Superhot VR places you in a world full of angry glass men intent on killing you. Playing this way in virtual reality feels unnatural, confusing and extremely challenging - but that's exactly what makes Superhot VR so fantastic and why the game is the most frustratingly enjoyable that we've played in VR to date.

Additionally, information technologies that have been used by us so far, narrowed down previous solutions solely to Windows platform. In the process of mapping and visualization also differentiation for the case of occurrence of relations defined on the basis of elementary complex key were not taken into consideration in the previous solution. This structure may contain only foreign keys or can be equipped with additional columns describing relation. In case of intermediate tables we can deal with two different situations. ![]() Yet another imperfection of resulting and offered solutions was lack of differentiation between intermediate tables eliminating relations characterized by numerical strength many to many and relational structures storing directly requested data, both in the process of mapping and later visualization. However, this way of visualization was subject to certain limitations, present in the tool that wasapplied. ![]() On the other hand, available and at the same time required results visualization, is a consequence of using client software offered by the producer of Neo4j, which is stared via web browser. However, querying graph database which was formed this way, managed by the Neo4j engine, will require the command of Cypher language. Previous solutions, characterized by different character of universality, were based on the same premises, namely each table is to be mapped in the form of central unit and relations occurring in this unit are to represent edges. For the moment, the authors were focusing on - both in this as well as in previous publications - those relational structures where foreign keys were defined overtly, which automatically relates to the occurrence of relations of referential integrity. This feature is undoubtedly strengthened by visualization of queries results, which seems to be a more effective way of medium than tabular form. The mapping of relational structures alone in graph database, which is equipped with proper language of queries, allows us to recognize them in a comfortable way and thus can be very useful approach within this scope. However, their recognition can be a nuisance by virtue of their complexity, multitude of tables and lack of or incomplete technical documentation. At the same time the application ensures results visualization in richer form than client program with the engine Neo4j that is available and offered.Īs it was signaled in previous publications the extension of application cooperating with relational databases as a general rule is not possible without command of their structures. Another improvement of the presented application is new user interface, which eliminates the necessity for user of having Cypher language skill in order to query graph database. The problem that the authors have failed to take into consideration so far, and that is presented now, is the case of intermediate tables occurrence, which are used in great measure to eliminate many to many relations on the level of relational bases as well as to eliminate relations based on complex keys. The effects of queries realization were presented with graph form, which resulted from the potential of the client program of the platform called Neo4j used for the needs of this research. The main aim of the aforementioned actions was to utilize the possibilities of graph database of programming languages paying special attention to searching for connections between tables when both their number and relations is very high and documentation is incomplete or unavailable. Various mechanisms of mapping relational structures in graph database Neo4j presented in previous publications describing both detailed and more universal solutions, did not take into account the whole complexity of relational databases. ![]() ![]() ![]() who revived two deceased famous coaches on the occasion of Euro 2020.
