About Colorblind Glasses

         

Our eyes are amazing, scientist know that our eyes send electrical signals to the brain, but they  still do not know how it translates into sight, animals that can see colors have three cones in their eyes; Red, green and blue, birds have an extra yellow cone, and we all have rods for black and white, that allows us/them to see various colors.

Look straight forward and notice your side vision without moving your eyes, you will notice your side vision or peripheral vision is always in black and white, makes it easier to see someone coming at your sides, and for night-vision as well. Your rods in your eyes are responsible for that.

Some colorblind people can see in only black and white; others can see colors, but cannot distinguish one color from another, red looks like green, green looks like red, blue looks like orange and yellow looks like purple as if one is looking at a picture negative.

Look at the picture below, pick at spot on the picture and stare at it for 30 seconds, then glance slowly to the white part. The negative picture has a black background and when one looks at the white part, your brain automatically reverses all the picture negative colors you're seeing, making it look like a positive.

Special glasses can make colorblind people see colors, this is not science-fiction, it is real, such glasses at present cost around $200 to $450, usually when people have color blinded friend(s) they all usually pitch in and buy these special glasses and give it to their color blinded friend(s).The glasses come with a rainbow chart, which is only read after the glasses are put on, otherwise all the colors will look like the same.

                                                               Are x-ray glasses possible?

The answer may surprise you, but the answer is yes. Now I am NOT talking about those x-ray glasses in comic book ads, they're only optical illusions. The real x-ray glasses would work by making one eyes see a certain electromagnetic fields at the far end of the rainbow spectrum. But unlike the colorblind glasses these x-ray glasses will come with a pocket size power pack, it will come handy when you're looking at lottery's scratch off tickets before you buy them :) (end)

Free Computer Repair? Really !

A few years ago, I had a friend who had a FBI virus, it locks people's computers than ask them for $500 which supposedly is a fine. but the thing is the real FBI will be coming at their doors and not issue a fine on the internet. It took me 1/2 day to take care of the FBI virus, by taking the batteries out of the computer, then putting them back, press the power button then I kept pressing the F8 button until it was in safe mode. 

In safe mode I place the computer in System Restore which sets a computer to an earlier time when it did not have the virus, but however the updates would be old, so were the updates from the anti-virus. So I updated them.

Sometimes you can try restarting your computer, see if it will still work, or we might have no choice but fix it ourselves by going to another computer to see how to fix the damaged computer. That's would probably happen in a repair shop, people using another computer looking for answers to fix it. We could do that ourselves.

Another friend said his files kept disappearing, that was because that friend did not keep with the updates on both his computer and the anti-virus, after updated, I ran a full scan on the anti-virus, and it had found 137 viruses.

Any more computers like Windows 10 and on up, do the updating and scanning on their own, and a person is still able to work on hers/his computer.

If you bought a Windows 10 lately, you would notice that they may have a free trial on a third-party anti-virus, once the trial ends you can pay for the anti-viruses or uninstall the third-party anti-virus. Windows 10 on up have their own free antivirus built in the machine,

 Once a person uninstalls the third-party antivirus, the computer will ask if you want to start Windows Defender click yes but be sure your third-party anti-virus is uninstalled first. Why pay for an antivirus when you don't have to? Unless, of course, you own a big business and want more security, however, the anti-virus that came installed on windows is good enough for homes, or small businesses. (end)

Rotoscoping

 

When Max Fleischer saw animation from his studio, he felt there was something wrong with it.What was wrong is that the animation did not look realistic, so he invented and even patented "Rotoscoping". Rotoscoping is a method where they filmed real people live actions and their actions were trace on paper, one frame film of movie film at a time. The cartoon characters were drawn over the bodies. Once the patent had ended, Walt Disney and other studios followed suit.

Later, computers came into play, for example artist did not have to trace the paper drawings on celluloids anymore with a felt pen; If they're doing cell work, they simply feed the drawings into a computer and the computer automatically prints them  out on transparent celluloids.

Now, anymore, all a person has to do is press a button on a computer and change live people into cartoons, they can even make a cartoon movie that way;  Even so it will still need refinement, like shadowing for example.  In the video below by Ah-Ha they did use rotoscoping, except they even had traced the regular people's faces and bodies as well then incorporate them  in their music video. If you have Photoshop, you may have this function.

This time below is a rotoscoped Superman cartoon from the 1940's. At that time Superman couldn't fly but just leap tall building because of earth's lesser gravity. this was alright in the comics, but in an animated cartoon it looks silly and was time wasting, so Max Fleischer studios called National Periodical (they weren't known as DC yet) and ask them if they could make Superman fly and it was granted. Note: DC means Detective Comics.

Finally, another Max Fleischer cartoon below Popeye and the magical dog Eugene. My favorite part personally is when Eugene sticks his head out from under the bed and barks "JEEP JEEP !" yeah, it's cute.
