![]() ![]() However, we did not think about the other implication of performing the Apocalypse, which is, of course, that nothing comes afterwards. We chose the Last Judgement on the grounds that Revelation - as commentators have noted for more than a millennium - already has some… interesting material. And yet, of course, while we wanted to have fun with it, we were also very conscious that the last thing we wanted to do was to offend anyone in our audience, which was to have an unusually high concentration of vicars. That, we decided - or, rather, hoped - gave us the freedom we would need to pull off something like this. We’d been told we could adapt the script we had been given, which was a modernised version of the Last Judgement from the Towneley Plays. Us, whose only theatrical experience in Oxford had been an absurd fairy-tale play in which a feminist Snow White rejects her housewife role and retells her own story (having one of the dwarves play her part in drag) - us perform a serious play? About the Bible? Emma took the news back to us - and we laughed at her. Based on the popular form of entertainment across Europe in the Middle Ages, the plays were to narrate the greatest hits of the Bible, from the Creation to the Last Judgement, and to be staged at various locations around the college. Later that Michaelmas, Professor Lähnemann, having heard about our Drama Cuppers exploits, approached director Emma Hawkins (2018, Fine Art) about her plan to host a Medieval Mystery Play Cycle, asking if she would be interested in organising a group from Teddy Hall. Yet even with these strange beginnings, we could never have predicted what it would get us into. Having been warned that Teddy Hall was not well known for its pursuit of the dramatic arts, we were giddy with our own success. To universal amazement, we not only pulled off our abridged and chaotic production of The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon, but made it through to the finals, after which we were nominated for several awards. Not one member of the final cast of Teddy Hall’s 2018 entry in the freshers-only drama competition expected to be part of it, and the cast was only settled, and rehearsals only began, about a week before the first performance.

What are your favorite Hamilton covers? Throw those links at me! I guess choruses performing sung-through versions of the score works just fine as a compromise, at least until the theatrical rights become available. I don’t think schools have the rights to stage Hamilton officially, because usually it’s not possible to secure the rights to perform any show that’s currently on Broadway. That said, kids performing Hamilton sounds like the best thing ever to me. ![]() They all have promising careers in musical theatre already, so it’s not like these are just kids from a school performing a production of Hamilton … not that I wouldn’t also be thrilled to see that!Īs an example, I cried like a baby the other day watching these students from Curie High School perform “Wait For It” from Hamilton: As for the other three youngsters, that’s School of Rock’s Luca Padovan as Eliza, Les Misérables’ Joshua Colley as Angelica, and Kinky Boots’ Douglas Baldeo as Peggy. This is sort of funny when it comes to Hamilton, though, since the show’s all about casting people in roles for which they’d ordinarily never be considered! (Refer to: every all-white production of 1776, ever.)Īnyway, in the role of Aaron Burr, we’ve got Ana Villafañe, who stars as Gloria Estefan in On Your Feet. This performance comes from MCC Theater’s “Miscast Gala,” an annual event at which Broadway stars get to perform in roles that they’d otherwise never get to do. Small, adorable, mega-talented children performing gender-swapped Hamilton, folks. I’m not going to bury the lede: this video features three young boys doing a gender-swapped performance of “The Schuyler Sisters” from Hamilton, plus a girl opening up the song with Aaron Burr’s part. ![]() ![]() ![]() I think I did this because the RB7 pin was physically closer to the location on the board that I wanted to place the buzzer. Instead of connecting it to RA4, I had connected it to RB7. Somewhere along the way, I had reassigned the I/O pin that the buzzer was connected to. Finally, I realized what the problem was. I checked the code, but couldn’t find any issue there. I was pretty confused when that didn’t fix it either. Then, I thought I had a bad microcontroller, so I replaced it. I checked that line for continuity to the current-limiting resistor and to its I/O pin on the microcontroller. I took note of which ones were not coming on and realized their anodes were all connected to the same line. It turned out there were about a dozen or so LEDs that wouldn’t light up. Once I was done, I adjusted the code that I had written for the test circuit to work with the additional LEDs and button. It took me about four hours to solder all the components onto the PCB ( Figure 2). While I was waiting for the board to be made, I ordered more parts (mostly LEDs) to build the clock. ![]() DipTrace generated the necessary files to send to Bay Area Circuits so they could make the board. I used Bay Area Circuits (see Resources) to make the circuit board as they had a student special that allowed me to make a single board for a very reasonable price. DipTrace has a 3D rendering tool to show what the completed board will look like ( Figure 1).įIGURE 1. Once all the components were in place, I manually routed the traces. I entered these values into the Properties field of each component. To arrange the LEDs and other components in a precise circular pattern, I created a spreadsheet in Excel to calculate the position and rotation of the components. ![]() Then, DipTrace transfers the schematic to the PCB layout module. I played around with a number of PCB design programs and decided to use DipTrace as I found that it could most easily do what I wanted.ĭipTrace has a schematic capture module where I created the schematic for the clock. I wanted to manually route the traces so that the only traces visible from the front of the clock are the Charlieplexed lines, which would be laid out as concentric traces on the front of the board among the LEDs. I decided a PCB would be best to have for the final circuit, due to the large number of LEDs and the need to arrange them and the resistors and diodes in a circular pattern. Then, we’ll wrap it up with a discussion of how the software works and put the finishing touches on our unique timepiece. ![]() This time, we’ll expand the LED matrix to run the 182 LEDs that the clock uses and make a printed circuit board (PCB) for the clock. The final two I/O lines will be used to run the alarm buzzer and read the 60 Hz coming from the AC-to-AC wall wart. This allowed us to read the buttons without using any additional I/O lines. We also looked at how to incorporate the reading of four pushbuttons by connecting them to the LED matrix with a handful of other discrete components. Using Charlieplexing, we ran those LEDs with only four I/O lines and determined that expanding the LED matrix to 14 I/O lines would enable us to individually control 182 LEDs. In Part 1, we looked at a test circuit that had 12 LEDs. ![]() ![]() ![]() The increase in osmotic pressure is detected by osmoreceptors within the hypothalamus that constantly monitor the osmolarity ("saltiness") of the bloodģ.

Kansas adds another 60% to Panasonic’s global battery capacity. We work together with a lot of people on partnerships, because that allows us to tune in, both in technology, but more importantly on demand and supply. So that doesn’t take up huge battery demand. You’ll see timing for bringing in new models - some of those models are quite small in volume, they’re not huge. For example, is the internal combustion engine product going to continue for another 10 to 20 years? If it does, the demand signal for batteries will be less. It will depend on how the models roll out, and how strong. If we stay where we are, clearly, we don’t have enough batteries. ![]() So it’s hard to see what that demand stream looks like. Some of the other automakers don’t really have a full plate yet on timing. General Motors is clear they want everything electric by 2030. When do you see the battery shortage easing for automakers? I’ve been hearing for a while that there’s not going to be enough batteries. Here’s an excerpt from our conversation, edited for length and clarity. Panasonic broke ground on a new $4 billion factory in DeSoto, Kansas, in November that’s supposed to start production in 2025, making 2170 cells for multiple customers, including Lucid. The facility now produces 37 gigawatt-hours of batteries a year (for context: one gigawatt can power about 9,000 Nissan Leafs). Panasonic has been producing Tesla’s 2170 cylindrical battery cells in Nevada since 2016. Given all the uncertainty about just how quickly car companies and consumers will go electric in this more challenging macro environment, I jumped at the opportunity to speak with Allan Swan, the president of Panasonic Energy North America, on the show floor at CES earlier this month. What makes him unique is his willingness to take on more risk than other executives can stomach. Musk has repeatedly referred to battery supply as the limiting factor for Tesla’s growth, and he’s far from the only auto CEO concerned about shortages. The carmaker said the splurge will go to 4 million square feet of manufacturing space that eventually will make 100 gigawatt-hours of cells (enough for roughly 1.5 million Model 3 or Y vehicles), as well as Semi trucks. Hence, Tesla’s announcement this week of $3.6 billion more investment in Nevada, where it’s partnered for years with Panasonic at one of the world’s highest-volume battery plants. It acquired Canadian battery manufacturing companies including Hibar Systems to help with this objective.Elon Musk’s response to wavering demand and recession risk is pretty clear: slash prices, keep increasing capacity and try to continue growing even if it means sacrificing profit margin in the short term. To date, Elon Musk's electric vehicle company has mostly relied on Panasonic and other vendors including CATL in China, for battery cells that go into their cars' high-voltage battery packs, and into the company's energy storage systems for home, commercial and grid-scale installations.īut Tesla has also been working to produce and commercially use its own 4680 battery cells. The governor's office and Panasonic did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The cost of battery materials is rising with inflation, increased electric vehicle production, and supply chain complications exacerbated by the ongoing pandemic and Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine.Ī local news outlet, the Kansas City Star, previously reported that Panasonic may locate its new factory, which is expected to employ around 4,000 people, at a former ammunition factory in De Soto, Kansas. ![]() ![]() The company reported annual vehicle deliveries of 936,172 in 2021, an 87% increase from 2020. Tesla 's appetite for battery cells is increasing along with its ambitions to ramp up vehicle production at new factories near Austin, Texas, and Berlin. That sprawling facility was slow to achieve profitability due to high defect rates and slower-than-anticipated mass production, Nikkei reported, but it became profitable in 2021. Panasonic previously invested in and jointly operates a battery factory with Tesla in Sparks, Nevada, outside of Reno, known as the Gigafactory (or Gigafactory 1).

Dust blocks the view in Hubble’s image, but the interstellar medium plays a major role in Webb’s. Although Hubble highlights many more thick layers of dust and Webb shows more of the stars, neither shows us the deeper universe. Near-infrared light can penetrate thick dust clouds, allowing us to learn so much more about this incredible scene.īoth views show us what is happening locally. By penetrating the dusty pillars, Webb also allows us to identify stars that have recently – or are about to – burst free. In contrast, the background light in Webb’s image appears in blue hues, which highlights the hydrogen atoms, and reveals an abundance of stars spread across the scene. These colors highlight the thickness of the dust all around the pillars, which obscures many more stars in the overall region. The background of this Hubble image is like a sunrise, beginning in yellows at the bottom, before transitioning to light green and deeper blues at the top. While the pillars of gas and dust seem darker and less penetrable in Hubble’s view, they appear more diaphanous in Webb’s. The thick, dusty brown pillars are no longer as opaque and many more red stars that are still forming come into view. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope made the Pillars of Creation famous with its first image in 1995, but revisited the scene in 2014 to reveal a sharper, wider view in visible light, shown above at left.Ī new, near-infrared-light view from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, at right, helps us peer through more of the dust in this star-forming region. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In its ultimate form it was a long, slim, graceful vessel with projecting bow and radically streamlined hull, carrying an exceptionally large spread of sail on three tall masts.
