![]() ![]() United States troops in the Vietnam War heard this caused some superstitious Vietnamese to fear the card to such a degree that they’d retreat at the very sight of it. In the French fortune-telling tradition, an Ace of Spades indicates bad luck or death in one’s future. They brought with them a range of customs. While it’s true that beliefs about the Ace of Spades symbolizing death date back centuries, in modern times, people began commonly referring to the Ace of Spades as the Death Card after the Vietnam War.īefore the Vietnam War, the French occupied the Indo-China region to which Vietnam belongs. Why Is the Ace of Spades Called the Death Card? » MORE: It's time to take your pre-planning seriously. That means some might easily associate a spade with digging a plot for a casket or coffin. There’s also reason to suspect these beliefs stem not only from the card’s dark color but also from the fact that we use spades to dig into the earth. In numerous cultures, its dark color (or lack thereof) associates it with imminent death, bad fortune, disaster, hatred, war, and even the end of the world. ![]() The Ace of Spades symbolizes many different fearful ideas or experiences depending on the context. What’s the Meaning of the Ace of Spades, or the Death Card? It will also explore how pop culture has kept these superstitions alive (no pun intended) throughout the years. This brief guide will cover some of those beliefs, describing how their roots in early fortune-telling influenced modern interpretations of the Ace of Spades.
![]() ![]() Now you can revive your teammates faster without buying the quick revive perk. You will then notice a green flash pop out of your teammate, meaning you unlocked it. Revive the same teammate 15 times or more in the same round. In Tranzit, go into solo, buy quick revive(Solo cost:500, Multi-survivors cost:1500), down yourself, because your in Solo, quick revive revives you, so down yourself again and you'll get a green mist like in perma-per:quick revive, but instead of quick reviving, you can take 3 hits by a zombie, and if you combine juggernaug and perma-perk:juggernaug, you'll get juggernaug pro, which instead of 5 hits with juggernaug(drink), you'll handle 6 hits before getting downed on the 6th hit. To confirm you have this simply shoot a zombie anywhere but the head until it dies, if the head is magically blown off, you indeed have the perk. This perk will increase the head shot multiplier in zombies and is saved to your profile. Getting a collateral head shot with one bullet will permanently unlock Deadshot Daquiri.
![]() ![]() Stefan tries to battle Klaus, who he realizes is an Old One and unbeatable. Stefan and Damon team up to take her down.īonnie summons Damon and Stefan when she discovers Klaus tormenting Elena through her visions. It's revealed that the Salvatores' ex-lover Katherine was the culprit behind all the chaos in town and chasing Elena off a bridge. As if things weren't bad enough, a formidable entity arrives, causing everything to spiral. ![]() The first book's main focus centers around Elena and Stefan's romance, as well as her friend group's efforts to make sense of the savage assaults that have occurred in Fell's Church.Īs Elena tries to prove that Stefan is not guilty of murdering a teacher and Damon investigates Alaric's involvement, it becomes clear that the town is aware of the vampires' existence. Focusing primarily on season three of The Vampire Diaries, I argue that the series’ emphasis on a Nordic origin for its “Original” vampires, combined with obfuscation of the history and legacy of slavery and racism in the United States, results in a narrative that ultimately, if inadvertently, legitimates white nationalist claims.The Vampire Diaries book series focuses on the lives of Elena Gilbert and the dashing vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore, as they navigate the complexities of love, friendship, and supernatural entities in the town of Fell's Church (changed to Mystic Falls in the show). Further, medievalism more generally permeates both vampire narrative and the mythology of the ‘Old South’ so important to the fictional Mystic Falls where The Vampire Diaries is set. The Vinland story has been used since the nineteenth century to legitimate white nationalism in North America. This mythology draws on the legend of Vinland, a paradise supposedly settled by Vikings in North America and recounted in thirteenth-century saga of the same name. The third season of The Vampire Diaries introduces the story of the “Originals”, a family who came to North America with Vikings in the eleventh century and became vampires as a way to protect themselves against ‘native werewolves’. Through these novels, I’ll show what monsters may mean in today’s culture and what the dangerous loving of them might signify. Here, we can see what the collision of different perspectives can achieve and how it might be appealing. I’ll give a brief account of how paranormal romance emerges out of an uncanny mating of the familiar scary Gothic horror and the oft-despised genre of romantic fiction (and other genres, too). In this talk, I will be giving an overview of the wide range of these stories of loving what is dangerous, alien, and terrifying. Genres-kinds of writing-themselves correspond to different sets of values and different ways of knowing or looking at the world. ![]() Their outsider status may be owing to class, ethnicity, or sexuality. Literary monsters nearly always represent some kind of otherness-groups of people or sets of values deemed threatening to some elements of society. Their presence is of more than sociological interest and the rise of new genres-new possibilities for writing and seeing, in other words-is itself of interest to those who value literature. But many of them are daringly creative, often questioning, and can be stylishly crafted with considerable literary care. Such novels appeal to (or seem intended for) a mainly female and often young adult readership, which has led to some belittlement. But werewolves, angels, demons, fairies, trolls, cyborgs, and even the unlikely zombie have become objects of desire in these fictions (in film and TV as well as novels). The best known incarnation of this present-day demon lover is the sympathetic vampire, who was probably the first of these paranormal paramours to emerge from the shadows. But despite a long history of monstrous couplings in literature, myth, and folklore, a distinct contemporary genre has emerged, called variously paranormal romance, dark romance, Gothic romance, or dark fantasy (though the definitions are imprecise and shift in reference). ![]() Twilight was not the first of these tales (nor the best) and sparkly vampires are not the only demonic lovers. In these narratives the protagonist, instead of fleeing from it in terror or hunting it down, embraces the monster. The Twilight phenomenon has made us aware of a new kind of story about monsters. ![]() ![]() ![]() Caviezel has said this film has “nothing to do with QAnon.”Īt the end of the film, Caviezel comes on screen to appeal to viewers to buy more tickets so other people can see it.įar-right politicians like Texas Senator Ted Cruz have also encouraged their followers to see the film. “Sound of Freedom” stars Jim Caviezel, who has a history of pushing the QAnon conspiracy theory, which through a complex and tangled web alleges that leading Democrats and American cultural figures were stealing children and that only former President Donald Trump could save them. 'Barbenheimer' box office debut sparks hopes that cinema is backĭaniel Loria, the editorial director at, said Angel Studios’ Pay It Forward strategy had never been implemented for a release on the scale of “Sound of Freedom.” During the movie’s July 4 opening, “Sound of Freedom” scored $11.5 million from direct box office sales and $2.6 million, or over 20%, from Pay It Forward ticket sales.Īn employee adds letters for upcoming film releases "Oppenheimer" and "Barbie" to a marquee at the Colonial Theater on Jin Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. More than 10 million tickets have been purchased through the app, called Pay It Forward. ![]() Angel says the tickets go to help people who can’t afford to see the film. The movie has been embraced by the right, and Angel’s marketing strategy taps into support from viewers. But “Sound of Freedom” film distributor Angel Studios, which has made faith-based films such as “The Chosen,” a series about Jesus, has a strategy which it says allows people to buy tickets for strangers to claim and then use to watch at theaters for free. ![]() The box office this weekend was dominated by “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” releases, which both succeeded through more conventional ticket sale means, in which those who are planning to view the film that day purchase tickets to see it. But it’s relying on an unusual strategy to boost ticket sales. “Sound of Freedom,” a movie about a US federal agent who quit his job to chase child sex traffickers, has become what is, by the numbers, a summer blockbuster, taking in around $125 million in theaters since its debut. ![]() ![]() ![]() Government and nonprofit organizations follow different tax rules than private for-profit companies and individuals.

![]() ![]() That means you should probably do a comparison for yourself on your own hardware.Hollywood’s most powerful tools for professional editing, color correction, audio post and visual effects!ĭaVinci Resolve Studio 18 is the world’s only solution that combines professional 8K editing, color correction, visual effects and audio post production all in one software tool! You can instantly move between editing, color, effects, and audio with a single click. Now, Final Cut did do much better on stabilization and may offer improvements to other more specific aspects of editing. For Resolve, his estimates put it slightly faster at around 17 minutes.ĭaVinci Resolve had timeline performance about the same and export speeds that are notably faster than Final Cut, making it an interesting consideration if you were locked into one NLE or the other for the touted benefits. This is something that takes a long time generally and even though he cut off the H.265 export early he estimated that it would take about 20 minutes. Not content to just stop there, Yuryev drops in some 10-bit 4K footage. It was 1 minute and 8 seconds, not a huge difference but certainly a consideration. Final Cut offers the same performance in playback and for the export, it seems to be a little bit slower. It does this by using even more of the computer’s processing power. Using 8-bit 4K 24 fps HEVC files you do get smooth playback in Resolve and an export that takes just 50 seconds. This resulted in a massive improvement in speed, lowering export times to just 1 minute 41 seconds, or twice as fast.Ī more intense test is with the HEVC (H.265) footage. Using the same settings in Resolve it seems to be able to use more of the computer’s processing power, though it does kick on the fans. On the MacBook using Compressor you are maxing out the GPU and using a small portion of the CPU the one minute project took 3 minutes and 54 seconds. Final Cut doesn’t easily give us all the same numbers, but it seems to be the same as Resolve’s performance.Įxport is always where the biggest challenge is for laptops and video editing. The 30 fps footage is getting a few drop frames, bringing it down to ~27 fps with one LUT or ~21 fps with two LUTs. Now using 4K H.264 footage on a 4K timeline we are going to look at the playback performance. Resolve used about the same in terms of graphics but less of the CPU and took 2 minutes for the same task. Opening up his benchmark tests you are likely familiar if you have seen Yuryev’s other videos, his first comparison is with stabilization.įinal Cut uses almost all of the graphics but a minimal part of the CPU to perform the task in 46 seconds. Just an FYI, he had a 2019 model, but if you are shopping today the 2020 version was just announced. Yuryev also chose to do these tests on a machine where efficiency can make a huge difference – a 13” MacBook Pro with integrated graphics. If you want to know, Max Yuryev put together his own comparison between FCPX and Resolve to see which offers better performance for different video editing tasks. Right? In 2020 things might be changing a bit as other editors, such as DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design, are quickly catching up when it comes to software optimization. When using a Mac, Final Cut Pro X is obviously the most efficient NLE. ![]() ![]() ![]() download ( download_directory = 'video', filename = 'test_stream' ) # Download video of particular quality, example '540p' for s in stream : if s. streams # List of available streams of different quality # > # Download best stream stream. v = Vimeo ( vimeo_url, embedded_on ) stream = v. from vimeo_downloader import Vimeo # Replace these two variables to different URL to download that video vimeo_url = '' embedded_on = '' # embedded_on is the URL of site video is embedded on without query parameters.
