![]() RELATED: Bates Motel: Get your exclusive first look at Rihanna Then, as we developed the story, it needed to be a larger part and we were like, “Rihanna’s not going to be able to have time to do that.” We reached out to her anyway and got on the phone with her and she was actually incredibly excited about it and wanted to do it and that’s how it started. Carlton had the idea of reaching out to her to do a cameo to play Marion Crane. In the interview, she said Bates Motel was one of her favorite shows. An article came out, an interview, I think it was in Vanity Fair, with Rihanna, who Carlton and I are both huge fans of. We’d always known we wanted to converge Psycho with Bates Motel, to some extent, in the storytelling of the last season, so it had been in our head, Marion Crane and who Marion Crane was. We knew Marion Crane was going to be a part of the storytelling for quite a while. How did Rihanna’s casting as Marion Crane come together? He still has the survival instinct of, “I’m gonna make this work,” which is great. He’s definitely a more complex, darker, more fragile version of himself than we saw two years ago. You can imagine the toll that would take on you physically and emotionally. He’s deeper down the rabbit hole, he’s more fragile, he’s like a little kid that’s been left alone to take care of himself for two years, and is doing his best to conjure up this world that will keep him afloat. How different is Norman this year? With Norma gone, is there no one who can stop him? Obviously Max, Vera, Freddie, they all balance the humor really well. The reality of it - the arch version of it is he’s crazy and he misses his mother, but when you imagine day-to-day life and what that means, it definitely lends itself to a certain humor that the show balances really well. Also because on some level, he’s crazy and it’s an absurd situation, it just lends itself to dark comedy. It’s definitely darker, and because it is so tragic, the dark humor comes out more this season. How do you think Norma’s death changes the tone of Bates Motel in season 5? RELATED: Hear more of the latest TV news from this week It’s a real interesting character and Vera is amazing as always. Mother is such a fun character because she has the humanity of Norma, but she can seamlessly slide into complete practicality and violence. So that was actually a really cool part of breaking the stories and the writing this year was finding that. She’s a very real character and she’s very present, and that was always a delightful challenge to write a fictional character - fictional in the sense that it’s fictional within the fiction - to write a fictional character that people would feel was real and would start believing in and caring about, because you want to be on the ride with Norman. The show is about Norman living with his mother. He’s doing a good job of covering.Ĭan you talk about how Norma lives on through her son this year, and what role Vera is going to play? We know a dead one, but… ![]() Norman is in a further stage of where we left him at the end of last season, where he’s living in multiple realities and functioning - at the moment - but on a deep level that he’s not even conscious of. He obviously is going to get pulled back in. No one gets away clean from a dysfunctional family. Dylan is trying to live a normal and not dysfunctional life, but it’s very hard to walk away. ![]() He’s on a very interesting journey because last season he was so guarded, so closed up, finally let his guard down, and then got completely sucker punched by Norma’s death, so he’s in a super intense dark place. Romero is dealing with the fallout of the legal problems he got into at the end of the last season and dealing, of course, with the death of the woman he loved. KERRY EHRIN: It’s about 18 months after Norma’s death and it picks up with everybody trying to live their life, but obviously Dylan still doesn’t know that Norma has died. Pair that with the introduction of Marion Crane (Rihanna), the character famously brought to life by Janet Leigh in Alfred Hitchcock’s 1960 thriller, and Bates Motel is on runaway train toward its Psycho destiny.īut will Bates stay true to Hitchcock? Or does the tale of Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) have one last twist - like seeing his death over his incarceration? EW turned to showrunner Kerry Ehrin to get the scoop on what’s in store.ĮNTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What can you say of where the new season picks up? Heading into its fifth and final season, the A&E drama has taken a giant leap toward the source material, closing last season with the death of Norma Bates (Vera Farmiga).

![]() In any event, it is the designer’s responsibility to check those things, not the machine shop. That is often difficult to do from a stack of 2D drawings because the physical relationships are not always obvious. They can check dimensions, clearances, and tolerances of fit directly from the 3D model. They will also work from 2D drawings, but I think they much prefer to have a 3D model to start with, especially if a complicated assembly is required. Of course I have to export the model in a file format their software recognizes, but that isn’t a problem with AD Expert. The machine shop whose services I use works this way. Or they will make a 2D view and print it, if they feel they need it, from your model. ![]() Many job shops today will accept your 3D model and not even bother with 2D drawings. It is a leftover from the days before numerically controlled machines existed. The 2D drawing capability in AD is a throwback to the days when machine shops demanded 2D drawings before they would even turn on a lathe or milling machine. DO the built-in tutorials, don’t just read them. Immerse yourself in learning Alibre Design. If you have tried Google SketchUp, forget about that too. Forget everything you know, or think you know, about CAD. Go down this road if you desire, but in my opinion it is not the best path to take. There are dozens of free 2D CAD programs available for download on the Internet. It can take hours to correct a 2D drawing to which I made a simple dimensional change to one feature. And probably change everything that is indexed or dimensioned off those holes. I have to go back and manually change the location of each hole. If I change something, like the radius of a bolt circle, on a 2D drawing, it affects every hole I drew on that bolt circle. When I feel like beating myself up, I still do. And if you are trying to do this in a PART workspace, you really don't understand AD yet.įor many years I used DeltaCad ($40, Midnight Engineering, ) for all my 2D drawings. If, on the other hand, you are in a DRAWING workspace, and if you are trying to make 2D drawings with Alibre, and the 2D drawings are not derived from an existing 3D model, then you do not yet understand the purpose of Alibre Design (AD). There are lots of "rules" for making sketches that when violated will give you errors. If you are in a PART workspace, the things you create there by drawing lines, circles, etc., are called sketches, not drawings. You didn't say whether you were trying to create 2D drawings in a PART workspace or a DRAWING workspace. Rick, I agree with everyone else who has posted to this thread so far. ![]() Nairobi is the capital of Kenya and one of the African cities with international presence. The bad side?

Melkor weaves opposing Music by Ted Nasmith However, Melkor could not find the Flame, for it was not in the Void, but with Ilúvatar. His feelings grew rebellious against his creator, for he wished to create sentient beings to inhabit the Void and was dissatisfied by the fact that Ilúvatar had not done so. Because he wandered through the Void in an attempt to find and use the Flame Imperishable, the source of Ilúvatar's creative activity, Melkor developed ideas unlike those of the other Ainur. The most powerful of the Ainur that Ilúvatar created was a spirit known as Melkor. One day, according to a prophecy, Morgoth will rise again in great wrath, but he will be destroyed in the Dagor Dagorath. Eventually, Morgoth was bound in chains by the Valar and thrown into the Void, leaving the permanent damage his evils had done, and his former lieutenant Sauron, to trouble the world. His theft of the Silmarils and wars against Elves and Men encompassed much of the history of the First Age. Morgoth corrupted many of the Ainur to his service, fought the Valar, and marred Arda. He fell from glory when he disrupted the Music of the Ainur and defied the will of Ilúvatar. Morgoth, also known as Melkor, was the greatest of the Ainur. " And he descended upon Arda in power and majesty greater than any other of the Valar, as a mountain that wades in the sea and has its head above the clouds and is clad in ice and crowned with smoke and fire and the light of the eyes of Melkor was like a flame that withers with heat and pierces with a deadly cold." ― The Silmarillion, " Ainulindalë" This article or section needs more/new/more-detailed sources to conform to a higher standard and to provide proof for claims made.

The economy network of each tribe may be downloaded from the Widelands Encyclopaedia. The economic network is big and complex, and varies slightly in the different playable tribes in the game. The object of Widelands is to build the economic infrastructure, and manage the construction of roads in order to expand the settlement and go to war. The player is effectively a regent of a small clan of settlers, which start out only with a headquarters with resources.

Once you’ve created your first database, you can create the following database views to view all your items in unique ways. Finally, each item inside a database is its own page, with customizable properties you can set to organize the items in the database. To recap, a database is a collection of pages and a database can be created inside a block or can be entire page itself. Though databases start to creep outside the territory of Beginners Guide, we think a basic understanding of each database view will help you quickly unlock Notion’s potential. ![]() Notion is continuing to improve their databases and always adding new features. So if you have a page with a “Date Created” property, you can quickly create a calendar view that displays your items based on the date the item was created. Each view takes the items (pages) inside the database and displays them to you in their specific way based on the customized properties you’ve set per item. For example, you can have a calendar view, list view, board view, gallery view, table view, and a timeline view. You can view these databases in several ways, known specifically as database views. Each page in a database has customizable properties, allowing you to label and contextualize your saved files for viewing in a variety of ways. Every item inside a database is its own editable page, inside which you can store other subpages, and so on. Databases are essentially collections of pages. You can also create something called a database. There are no folders in Notion, so creating pages and subpages is likely the best way to organize all your files, written work, and saved digital tidbits. You can write in a page, upload files, save URLs, create databases, link to other databases, and more. You can insert all sorts of blocks in a page. You can also create a page within a page - formally known as a subpage. You can create pages in a variety of ways in Notion - you can click the + button beside your workspace in the left sidebar or you can click any of the + buttons across all of Notion to quickly create a page. If the core element of Notion is the block, the next step up is a page. The basic block in Notion has evolved tremendously since Notion’s earliest days and has now unlocked new ways of working with files. You can insert Framer prototypes, a Google Map, and even embed files stored on OneDrive right within a block. Recently, blocks were expanded to allow users to insert Figma files directly in Notion. You can easily embed any type of media such as images, PDFs, or YouTube videos inside of blocks.īlock capabilities are expanding all the time. ![]() Little fun fact: Notion will recognize Markdown commands automatically, (although we at The Sweet Setup tend to use other apps for writing). You will quickly see that you can create any kind of written content with blocks. There are roughly 90 potential blocks as of this writing, with more being added. The core element of Notion is the block, from which all content springs forth. In this article, we are going to share some common and easy ways to get started and understanding the fundamentals of using Notion. If you don’t know where to start, it can be intimidating. The fact I can then share these interfaces with others with a click is what puts it over the top for me.Īs we will discuss, there are many different ways to use Notion. My favorite thing about Notion is how I can use it to create exactly the interface I need for keeping up with important things in my life. Here’s Matt Birchler, The Sweet Setup contributor and prolific Notion user: The blank slate nature of Notion means it can be really easy to start using, but it can also mean users struggle to understand the most effective use cases for such a powerful tool.
