How to Train Your Dragon and the Relevance to the Promethean Myth How to Train Your Dragon is a child’s adventure story that follows a boy, Hiccup, who is a misfit in a Viking community. Hiccup is scrawny, unlike most of the Vikings. He is always making a mess with every situation. Hiccup wants to fit in and to do so he must kill dragons like the rest of the community. The community of Burke all know hiccup, and with this knowledge they try to keep him working during the dragon attacks because…

17th century. All it needed to work was light, such as a candle, and crude lenses. It was used for entertainment and often times, education, for all ages. It remained very popular until motion toys came about and soon the concept of “persistence of vision” came forth, in which it is “the eye's capacity to retain an image even after it has been removed”. Peter Mark Roget in 1824 came up with that description and idea and helped advance in cinema. In 1831, Michael Faraday discovered the law of…

The field of animation has been one of the most interesting and creative forms of film and its history goes almost all the way back to the beginning of movies. The first example is a short two-minute film called The Enchanted Drawing from the year 1900. It was not entirely animated as it included live action footage, but it was the first movie with animated sequences as far as I am aware. It consists of a man (in live-action) drawing a picture of a man's face on an easel, as well as other…

Over the course of the History of Animation there have been many high points and many low points. It’s difficult to pinpoint one high point in particular but one point in recent memory is the year of 1999. This year brought forth the very memorable Iron Giant, the sequel to Toy Story with Toy Story 2, Tarzan, as well as, the movie South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut (Sterow). While the last one may not be the best animated movie ever, it still has wit and humor that make it age well and people…

One of the cultural myths that I have fallen into would have to be the ‘colorblindness is progress’. I’ve always seen past people and their color, or where they came from. I enclosed myself in the mindset of ‘I’m not racist because I don’t look at people’s skin color or background’. After learning about color blindness, and realizing that I was apart of it, I now know that this is the wrong way to view humans. Color blindness may seem like a good idea, and the intention might be of good intent;…

This section describes the algorithm used for traffic light and road sign detection. It also provides the hardware components used to provide output. In the proposed system, initially input image was obtained in RGB form and converted to gray scale and finally to binary images. This said to be pre-processing of images. Then filtering was performed for removal of noise from images. Color of traffic light was detected based on threshold values. Hough transform was done for the detection of shape…

The freed prisoner wouldn’t be able to revert to his former ignorance after acquiring this new found knowledge because of the human instinct to advance. Plato goes more into detail with this thought by stating “Those with beatific vision are unwilling to descend to human affairs; for their souls are ever hastening into the upper world where they desire to dwell; which desire of theirs is very natural, if our allegory may be natural.” ( Page 3 ) To translate this into more modern terms…

Many film adaptations and spoofs have been produced throughout the decades with regards to Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Even though not one of these will live up to the legacy that is Frankenstein, it is interesting to see in what ways they have honored the original piece. Animated films bring their own unique perspective to the table. This is a result of the majority of these movies being meant for children and, in turn, not portraying the correct physical appearance. However, the movies are…

The Army doctrine is working on the Expert Action Badge (EAB); we should notice it by October 2019 if approved. The EAB plans to allow Soldiers to make professional goals in line with their Military Occupational Specialty (MOS). An example would be the Infantry has the Expert Infantryman Badge (EIB) and the Medical Corps have an Expert Medical Field Badge (EFMB). The Expert Action Badge is not similar to the Expert Infantryman Badge, which focuses solely on for infantry related skills. The…
