.My presentation is on Animation Timeline. Firstly , we will look What is animation,next we will move on history of animation including various animati on techniques used before film, then we will move on Modern animation techniques and finally we will discuss about future of animation." What is Animation? Animation is basically simulation of movement crea ted by displaying a series of pictures, or frames rapidly.In animation, what we perceive as a moving image is actually an illusion. What we are really seeing is a succession of still images displayed in rapid sequence, separated by a small interval o f darkness. When faced with a rapid series of stil l images, our eye and brain will perceive them to be one smoothly moving image.When successive image s are shown at a faster rate, the eye will blend t hem together with the retina retaining one image a s the second is superimposed over it. This creates the illusion of movement.The number of frames per second, or FPS, directly correlates to how smooth the movement appears. If the frame rate is too sl ow, the motion will look awkward and jerky. If the frame rate is too high the motion will blur. So a question arises here..... what is difference b etween video and animation? we have to note the basic difference here,that a v ideo takes continuous motion and breaks it up into discrete frames,whereas animation starts with ind ependent pictures and puts them together to form t
he illusion of continuous motion.

Evidence of artistic interest in depicting figures in motion can be seen in art as early as Paleolit hic cave paintings. Animals in such paintings were often depicted with multiple sets of legs in supe rimposed positions. Because the paintings are preh istoric, alternative interpretations are possible, such as the artist simply deciding to change a le g's position and having no means of erasing, but i t is very likely that these were early attempts to convey motion.Another example is a 5,200-year old pottery bowl discovered in Shahr-e-Sukhteh, Iran. The bowl has five images painted around it that s how phases of a goat leaping up to nip at a tree.A fter merging all the five images we will see the a ctual animation. An Egyptian mural approximately 4000 years old, fo und in the tomb of Khnumhotep at the Beni Hassan c emetery, features a very long series of images tha t apparently depict the sequence of events in a wr estling match.
Video Key-Frame Extraction using Unsupervised Clustering and Mutual ComparisonCSCJournals
Key-frame extraction is one of the important steps in semantic concept based video indexing and retrieval and accuracy of video concept detection highly depends on the effectiveness of keyframe extraction method. Therefore, extracting key-frames efficiently and effectively from video shots is considered to be a very challenging research problem in video retrieval systems. One of many approaches to extract key-frames from a shot is to make use of unsupervised clustering. Depending on the salient content of the shot and results of clustering, key-frames can be extracted. But usually, because of the visual complexity and/or the content of the video shot, we tend to get near duplicate or repetitive key-frames having the same semantic content in the output and hence accuracy of key-frame extraction decreases. In an attempt to improve accuracy, we proposed a novel key-frame extraction method based on unsupervised clustering and mutual comparison where we assigned 70% weightage to color component (HSV histogram) and 30% to texture (GLCM), while computing a combined frame similarity index used for clustering. We suggested a mutual comparison of the key-frames extracted from the output of the clustering where each key-frame is compared with every other to remove near duplicate keyframes. The proposed algorithm is both computationally simple and able to detect non-redundant and unique key-frames for the shot and as a result improving concept detection rate. The efficiency and effectiveness are validated by open database videos.

How to make animated GIFs, both freely and with Photoshop. The presentation uses animated GIFs itself, so it's probably better offline and in presentation mode. But still useful without the animations. Be sure to follow the Smithsonian Libraries' Tumblr blog, Turning the Book Wheel, http://smithsonianlibraries.tumblr.com for more.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
