DAY 5374

Jalsa, Mumbai Oct 29, 2022 Sat 11:41 PM

💜🪔 , October 30 .. birthday greetings to Ef Dolesh .. EF Pradipta Ranjan .. Ef Sesha Nayak .. Ef Dublin from California .. Ef Jay Modi from NJ .. and Ef Aneeta Radoja .. Love to all and happiness ever .. from your Ef .. 🌸🌿

Birthday - EF PradiptaRanjan .. Sunday, 30 October .. greetings on this special day .. love and wishes .. ❤️❤️

it is late but shall comply today what has been expected for all these years .. a Blog at any hour of the night ..

the generation of the today and the sensibilities of them that excel and be in the position of opinion and demand .. are the future visionaries of not just the land but also the entire land .. and they have splendid ideas and thoughts of how the World shall not just perceive them but also those that think with them .. and of course the entire Universe ..

the extent of their minds and their thinking reaches boundaries hitherto unseen unknown and perhaps undiscovered ..

but that would have been the minds of those before them centuries ago .. progression is an obsession .. a belief that this is the only path to glory and the Supreme ..

how wonderful to be able to spend time with them and their minds ..

I do often .. and am shocked and bewildered at the results .. and suddenly you feel that all is well .. all is well .. all is well ..

however there is much that they have missed upon .. and that is a shame ! technologies are fine and because of their technical mechanical nature shall ever be present in some form or the other ..

But what about the mind and its training to think to learn and to devise ..

that could happen, or may not .. but damned if this generation doesn’t give it a shot .. and at times instead of getting to the reason for its existence, end up discovering the existence of its reason ..

its not just a play on words .. it is fact and perhaps legitimate too .. we shall never know ..

... so they came to the Vanity with query filled eyes .. needed a drink got an entire bottle of the mineral and left see you later ..

ok still .. an occasion with the lovely young talent of the day .. Pooja .. Pooja Hegde .. as we work out the multiple camera positions in order to speed the work and not making any mistakes

Love to all

Amitabh Bachchan

but also, about the new locations they named, being from ireland myself, this caught my eye;

Connemara?

REALLY BLIZZ?? 😂 that's a.... uh.... a choice, i guess?

it just gets a yikesss from me, considering the book claims even ecopoints caused public dissent, because of how it put, in the book's words, 'a permanent Overwatch military instillation effectively in their backyard.'

and it reminds me of that old phrase, 'to hell or to Connacht' (the province / state that Connemara, which is in County Galway, is in)

which btw is lovely! it's actually a nice and peaceful place to visit! it's also one of the few places here where irish is spoken a lot, too!

so .... damn ...🥴

it gets me as much as 'university of dublin' - i haven't read the full thing yet, but this was another bit that caught my eye, as i was flicking through things?

there is no 'university of dublin'

there IS university college dublin. or trinity college dublin. or technological university dublin. or like half a dozen other places.

but oh man.

the author couldn't take two mins to do a quick google search? 😂 i know overwatch has a futuristic lean, so more than likely not meaning to emulate actual places... but daaaamn .... trinity college would've fitted so well there.

#ooc #ik this is a random thing but ooof #i wonder what else the author blundered

Astrophysicists scan the Galaxy for signs of life

Astrophysicists from Trinity College Dublin are scanning the Universe for “technosignatures” emanating from distant planets that would provide support for the existence of intelligent, alien life.

Using the Irish LOFAR telescope and its counterpart in Onsala, Sweden, the team – led by Professor Evan Keane, Associate Professor of Radio Astronomy in Trinity’s School of Physics, and Head of the Irish LOFAR Telescope – plans to monitor millions of star systems.

Scientists have been searching for extraterrestrial radio signals for well over 60 years. Many of these have been carried out using single observatories which limits the ability to identify signals from the haze of terrestrial interference on Earth. Much of the effort has focused on frequencies above 1 GHz because the single-dish telescopes employed operate at these frequencies.

Now, a new collaboration led by Trinity College Dublin, with the Breakthrough Listen team and Onsala Space Observatory in Sweden, is perfecting a multi-site, multi-telescope technique that allows them to search at much lower frequencies of 110 – 190 MHz.

The Breakthrough Listen programme is the most comprehensive search for technologically advanced extraterrestrial life, developing dedicated instruments at the Irish and Swedish LOFAR stations. Using multiple sites has the major benefit that it is much less likely to provide a “false positive” signal; such signals arise due to interference from many human sources on Earth.

The team has just published details of their method and their ongoing search in the Astronomical Journal They have already scanned 1.6 million star systems flagged as interesting targets by the Gaia and TESS space missions, run by ESA and NASA respectively. So far these searches have drawn a blank.

But the search has only just begun...

Prof. Keane said: “In the last 50 years evidence has steadily mounted that the constituents and conditions necessary for life are relatively common in the Universe, which begs one of life’s greatest unanswered questions: are we really alone?

“To some people the ‘Search for Extra-terrestrial Intelligence, or SETI’ might seem like something from a movie, but it has been a scientific pursuit for decades, and for a host of very good reasons. With this project we are basing our search on the common assumption that civilisations elsewhere in the Universe may employ similar technologies to those developed on Earth. As a result radio frequencies are a logical domain for conducting SETI surveys due to the widespread use of telecommunications and radar and our access to next-gen radio telescopes offers a great chance for a deep dive into the Universe.”

Owen Johnson, PhD Candidate in Trinity’s School of Physics, is the first author of the journal article, and the first Irish person to ever undertake a PhD on the topic of SETI. He added:

“What makes surveys like this one truly captivating is the fact that we're pushing these telescopes to their absolute limits, directing them towards substantial portions of the sky. As a result, we have the exciting possibility of discovering all sorts of wild and wondrous phenomena during this process and if we're very fortunate, even encountering our cosmic neighbours.

“LOFAR is soon to undergo a staged series of upgrades across all stations in the array across Europe, which will allow an even broader SETI at ranges of 15 - 240 MHz. We have billions of star systems to explore and will be relying on some machine learning techniques to sift through the immense volume of data.

“That in itself is interesting – it would be fairly ironic if humankind discovered alien life by using artificial intelligence.”

CivitAI’s failure to moderate Ridley’s image shows the abuse CivitAI facilitates despite its official policy. Models that generate pornographic images are allowed. Models that generate images of real people are allowed. Combining the two is not. But there’s nothing preventing people from putting the pieces together, generating non-consensual sexual images, and sharing them off CivitAI’s platform.

“In general, the policies sound difficult to enforce,” Tiffany Li, a law professor at the University of San Francisco School of Law and an expert on privacy, artificial intelligence, and technology platform governance, told 404 Media. “It appears the company is trying, and there are references to concepts like consent, but it's all a bit murky.”

This makes the countless models of real people hosted on CivitAI terrifying. Every major actor you can think of has a Stable Diffusion model on the site. So do countless Instagram influencers, YouTubers, adult film performers, and athletes.

“As these systems are deployed and it becomes the norm to generate and distribute pornographic images of ordinary people, the people who end up being negatively impacted are people at the bottom of society,” Abeba Birhane, a senior fellow in Trustworthy AI at Mozilla Foundation and lecturer at the School of Computer Science and Statistics at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, told 404 Media. “It always ends up negatively impacting those that are not able to defend themselves or those who are disfranchised. And these are the points that are often left out in the debate of technicality.”

FUGA > MARCIO SCAVONE

Podemos pensar na fusão de imagens como uma coleta de importantes acontecimentos fotográficos registrados em várias fotografias e sua finalização em uma única. Na maioria das vezes, ela representa mais o pensamento de seu autor do que apenas um simples registro, com o desejo de construir uma nova ideia, mas perceptível aos seus leitores. É o que encontramos em Fuga (Alice Publishing, 2022) novo livro do paulistano Marcio Scavone.

Com vasta experiência tanto na fotografia editorial, quanto na publicitária, onde consagrou-se como um dos mais requisitados profissionais, Scavone não se deixou levar apenas pelo desejo de editores de grandes publicações ou diretores de criação de importantes agências, mas sim por uma sistemática experimentação gráfica e teórica no que pensamos como uma fotografia autoral ou de arte, aqui nesta publicação representada pelo caráter mais ontológico onde o mesmo deixa-se levar por suas afinidades eletivas e íntimas.

Em entrevista ao crítico e curador mineiro Agnaldo Farias, ele esclarece que como retratista desde o início buscou a síntese do seu assunto, seja ele uma pessoa ou um espaço geográfico, sempre pensando em qual equipamento usar, questões que para ele perderam-se no advento da imagem digital. Diante desta nova configuração, surgiu um projeto sobre as grandes cidades que sonhava visitar desde criança, ideal realizado em sua juventude, as quais o levaram a guardar histórias e memórias, materializadas em fusões neste alentado e elegante livro.

É certo que o caráter da fotografia é sobretudo sobre a captura da essência de seu assunto e transmitir ao leitor o que isto significa para seu autor. A teoria da fotografia é dominada pela noção do sujeito humano. Isso pode se manifestar de várias maneiras: uma insistência na intencionalidade artística por parte do fotógrafo; a atribuição da humanidade dentro da imagem; uma estrutura interpretativa que coloca a fotografia em um contexto social, cultural ou político em particular, como pensa o irlandês Hugh McCabe, professor da Technological University of Dublin, especialista em mídia digital criativa.

Afirma-se então que o importante sobre a fotografia não é qualquer relação objetiva com a realidade, mas sim sua situação em relação às preocupações humanas. Mesmo quando a objetividade com esta é enfatizada, ou as suas questões morais discutidas, isso geralmente é feito a serviço de um exame da relação humana e a busca pela autenticidade. McCabe argumenta que a razão para isso é a poderosa influência de uma vertente do pensamento filosófico pós-kantiano que alinhou-se à fotografia.

Marcio Scavone busca em suas fusões esses alinhamentos, calcados na unidade de seu perfil filosófico, conciliando certos antagonismos em sua obra, o que certamente tem como base também não somente suas habilidades fotográficas, mas também literárias, as quais vem dedicando-se, expressas em livros como em Copo de Luz, ensaios sobre fotografia como arte e memória (Alice Publishing Editora, 2018) [leia aqui review em https://blogdojuanesteves.tumblr.com/post/171461852546/copo-de-luz-ensaios-sobre-fotografia-como-arte-e ].

Agnaldo Farias argumenta a proximidade da colagem com a fusão, sendo que esta primeira agencia matérias distintas. "o convívio de entre objetos de diferentes procedências, natureza, vocações, energias, velocidades." Scavone responde que sabendo suas histórias saía às ruas em busca de retalhos e trechos aparentemente díspares. "Meu trunfo era o tempo; eu armazenava imagens para "cozinhar" depois. Da maneira como estava fotografando eu tirava a frustração de não estar no momento certo no lugar certo, pois criava o momento e o lugar." diz o fotógrafo, arrematando que as múltiplas exposições e suas camadas vieram naturalmente pela impossibilidade de contar uma história apenas por um ângulo.

Distintos elementos compõem suas imagens, ainda que os personagens predominantes (não podemos esquecer aqui que a essência do trabalho do fotógrafo é o retrato) sejam as mulheres entre vestígios das cidades que visitou, esculturas, pinturas e retratos antigos, uma espécie de "tableaux" (antiga designação para uma obra de arte), como ele mesmo completa, em um diversificado universo criado e em ocasiões buscando certa imaterialidade, próxima de uma proposta pictórica- e também surrealista, em seu sentido mais amplo, que ora amoldam-se perfeitamente, como uma mulher nua em um possível lençol emaranhado, ora se deslocam deste contexto, como outra personagem em uma praia que deita destacadamente sobre uma favela no Rio de Janeiro, cujo significado ao leitor possa surgir apenas com a leitura de sua legenda.

Segundo o fotógrafo, o livro responde ao desejo de não somente sair pelo mundo para fotografar as cidades com que sonhava, mas cidades magníficas cujos nomes evocavam mistério e aventura. Londres, Paris, Rio de Janeiro, Tóquio, São Paulo, Cidade do México e Roma, esta última onde o livro já foi lançado. "lugares que na sua imaginação se transformavam em labirintos cujas paredes eram forradas por imagens." Cidades que haviam sido visitadas há muito tempo e que apenas não tinham sido fotografadas como ele sonhara.

Fuga apresenta, como salienta Farias, uma proposta do íntimo com o público, com um retrato e o monumental, a qual Scavone justifica recorrendo à fotógrafa americana Diane Arbus (1923-1971) "Em fotografia quanto mais íntimos formos, mais universais teremos sido." Para o fotógrafo há uma dicotomia na captura de cidades distantes da dele, mas que lhe dão uma ideia de proximidade. Recorrências à literatura também são muitas em suas estruturas, como o italiano Antonio Tabucchi (1943-2012) que escreveu o texto do primeiro livro do fotógrafo, E entre a sombra e a luz (Editora Melhoramentos, 1997) e suas ilações com o poeta português Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) ou o romancista britânico Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894).

As cidades são femininas, diz Scavone; " acolhem ou repelem". Para ele, "o rosto é tudo", um fato explícito em toda sua obra fotográfica. A reverência a elas amplia-se em um anexo no final da publicação, onde ele explica que as fotografias foram feitas entre 2012 e 2019 e as descreve em sua veia mais poética como " Primeiro foram expelidas como a lava de um vulcão, depois pousaram lentamente, como as cinzas fazem, para se acumularem como sedimentos de memória das oito cidades revisitadas." Momento em que o inefável aproxima-se da realidade crua da imagem fotográfica e onde o tempo permanece por vezes intocável no levar de paixões encontradas nas pinturas de grandes mestres.

"My lady of Trafalgar", onde uma mulher se funde às nuvens, mostra uma questão para o fotógrafo. "Não sei bem quando comecei a enxergar mulheres nas no céu." Uma personagem romântica enevoada, extraída da pintura do inglês John Waterhouse (1849-1917) que Scavone viu na Tate Gallery nos anos 1970, pela qual apaixonou-se. Ou em " El panteón de Dolores" ao encontrar o túmulo da fotógrafa italiana Tina Modotti (1896-1942), são exemplos de inúmeras imbricações entre arte e literatura que o fotógrafo extrai para suas referências tanto imagéticas quanto metafísicas.

Ao encontrar-se com o ontológico, Marcio Scavone aproxima-se do ideal de muitos filósofos, historiadores ou sociólogos, que não reconhecem na fotografia apenas um documento. Talvez porque o caráter de uma imagem seja sempre parcial e arbitrário, como defende a curadora e teórica da arte israelense Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, professora de cultura visual na Brown University, nos Estados Unidos. No entanto, estas relações significantes que acompanham o olhar do fotógrafo, se não podem responder às suas perguntas mais íntimas, propõem, paradoxalmente, o compartilhamento de sua arte no sentido mais amplo.

Christmas at the Tech, 1912-1963 - Part 3: Christmas Lectures for Young People

To conclude our short series of posts about Christmas activities at Strathclyde’s antecedent institution, the Royal Technical College (RTC, known from 1956 as the Royal College of Science and Technology), we look at the annual Christmas Lectures for Young People. These commenced in the 1950s, upon the suggestion of the Scottish Education Department (SED). Popular science lectures for older children were then an established feature of the Christmas season in London…

Christmas Lectures for Young People

The RTC’s annual Christmas Lectures for Young People commenced in the early 1950s, upon the suggestion of the Scottish Education Department (SED). Popular science lectures for older children were then an established feature of the Christmas season in London, and the SED, feeling that ‘Scotland was lagging behind England in this matter’, approached the Director of the RTC, Dr (later Sir) David Anderson, in 1951 with the idea of providing similar lectures for secondary school pupils in the West of Scotland.[1] Anderson responded positively, and the first Christmas Lectures for schoolchildren in Glasgow and the West of Scotland, organised by the RTC in conjunction with the SED, were delivered on 3 and 4 January 1952. The presenter, Dr Charles H. Giles of the RTC’s Department of Technical Chemistry, addressed the theme of ‘Chemistry and Colour Photography.’

Having proved successful, the lectures then became a permanent feature in the RTC calendar, taking place every December. Lectures on two different topics, delivered by separate presenters, were offered each year, with both presenters repeating their lecture a second time so that as many children as possible could attend. In session 1953-1954, external academics from the University of Edinburgh and University College, Dublin were invited to come and deliver the lectures. However, it proved so challenging for them to arrange and rehearse their practical demonstrations at the RTC in advance that, in subsequent years, the speakers were selected solely from the staff of the RTC.

The Christmas Lectures for Young People were carried on by the RTC’s successor bodies, the Royal College of Science and Technology (RCST, 1956-1964) and the University of Strathclyde (1964 onwards). While their primary purpose was to inspire and instruct children in aspects of science and technology, the lectures also served to entertain, and the presenters often chose topics that would appeal to children, such as ‘Pests and Parasites’ (1954) and the aptly named ‘Combustion – Some Burning Questions’ (1958). The photograph above shows Dr P.T. Carter, senior lecturer in the Department of Metallurgy, explaining the principles of jet and combustion engines to some of the children who heard him speak on ‘Metals in the Service of Mankind’ in December 1956 (reference: OP4/191).

“Rebel Without a Fin”

Season 4, Episode 25 First US Airdate: October 13, 1990

A scientist creates a half-man, half-fish, and plans to mutate April.

The ninetieth episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is titled “Rebel Without a Fin”. Making his return as credited writer here is Michael Reaves, one of the best and most prolific contributors to the series during seasons two and three. The last episode written by Reaves prior to this one was “The Big Rip-Off" in December 1989.

We open with the Turtles making shifty faces at each other in the Lair, and it immediately becomes apparent that this show will also mark another return: Murakami-Wolf Dublin, the studio behind some of the most visually... remarkable episodes of TMNT handled most of this year’s syndicated run and are back at the helm here. A few crumbs of nice character work can at least be found as Splinter reprimands the Turtles for practicing their ninja moves in the living room, ordering them to go to the training area instead. This is easily the angriest he’s been all year, which is somewhat entertaining.

Remember Unbridled Technologies from “Bebop and Rocksteady Conquer the Universe"? That location makes an unlikely return here as probably the three hundredth evil scientist to debut this season crows about his “evolution accelerator”. This is Dr. Polidorius, a man who congratulates himself on his own intellect as a hatch opens up. From inside a green half-man, half-fish in a red speedo emerges. Polidorius informs the mutant that his name will be Ray – just “Ray” - and to his credit the fish-man immediately shoots this down.

Dr. Polidorius uses a comically oversized computer/monitor setup to illustrate his plan. For some bizarre reason he has a stick up his butt about the fact that humanity emerged from the sea millions of years ago, and now he’s looking to undo that. The scientist intends to set off a series of explosions beneath New York, providing the perfect home for his new race of fish people. Ray agrees to go along with this despite feeling completely indifferent to the entire thing.

April struggles to find a strong enough news story to appease Burne Thompson, so she decides to check in with the Turtles to see if they know of anything interesting going on. During her conversation with Leonardo, footage is seen from “Raphael Knocks ‘em Dead” of the Turtles wandering through the sewers. It’s an odd choice to crib from, given that said scene had its own weird editing problems and that Leo clearly isn’t holding a Turtlecom the entire time. It doesn’t help, also, that it’s obviously from a much more aesthetically pleasing episode than this one.

With the Turtles unable to find much of interest going on beyond a pizza coupon that’s washed up in the sewers, April is left to her own devices. She adopts her model sheet pose as she informs Irma that she’s off to cover the only thing in town that’s halfway newsworthy, the opening of Donald J. Lofty’s new condo building. (Irma says nothing, having been effectively benched for this entire season beyond the two episodes with Howie.)

Ray checks in via his smart watch with Dr. Polidorius, informing him that the first set of underground explosives have been put in place. Meanwhile April is at her most socially conscious – and scathing – as she vents while on location at Lofty’s new building, pointing out that the last thing New York needs is “another high-priced yuppie reservation”. Vernon actually agrees with her for once, condemning the place as tacky and declaring that he wouldn’t live there even if he was paid to.

April catches a glimpse of Ray emerging from beneath a manhole and mistakes him for one of the Turtles. Realising this is someone else entirely she heads underground to investigate, informing our heroes of her find before almost instantly being caught by Ray. The Turtles break into a seriously janky-ass run cycle for all of about ten seconds before finding April’s Turtlecom lying on the ground.

Act two opens with Ray carrying April and saying nothing. The show then cuts to a repurposed shot of some water running through the sewers. Raphael is seen talking before the reused animation of Leonardo guiding the other Turtles around appears again. We eventually pan to a lingering shot of the bombs set up by Ray, and MW Dublin make a point of squeezing a few extra seconds out of this as it means they don’t have to actually animate anything appearing on-screen.

Ray dumps April on the floor of the lab at Unbridled Technologies. Dr. Polidorius decides to use this to his advantage, declaring that April will look lovely after her “genetic code has been combined with that of a TUNA’S!” Down in the sewers, the Turtles search for their friend and make some frankly horrific faces. Once again though there are a few brief moments where the characters become expressive and fun to look at, with Raphael attempting to wisecrack while Leonardo has clearly had enough of his shit.

April tries to make an escape, but is intercepted by a still-nonchalant Ray and placed into the evolution accelerator. Cut to... that same sewer water animation from earlier for a second time. What the hell?

Ray sets up more explosives and again checks in with Dr. Polidorius. The mutant tells his creator that after thinking about it, he doesn’t want to have to live in a city with other fish people as he likes his privacy. Polidorius is angered by this and, in an odd animation choice, props himself up atop the back of a desk chair. He rants and raves for a bit. Ray, however, couldn’t care less, and having finished up the job, returns to the lab.

The sewer water animation then appears for a third time. This is followed by the Leonardo leading the others through the sewer animation AGAIN. Okay, this is actually getting pathetic now. Things don’t improve a great deal as the Turtles encounter Ray, and having figured out he’s responsible for April’s kidnapping, a battle ensues. The new mutant hits Michaelangelo with an electric bolt – a power he was granted from the electric eel – before hitting Leonardo with the quills of a scorpion fish. He uses his tail to hurl Donatello into a wall and turns Raphael’s own sai blades against him before making his escape, swimming off into the waters of the sewers.

Our heroes pursue Ray in an underwater sequence that’s surely right up MW Dublin’s alley, as it means they don’t have to worry about mouth movements or walk cycles. The Turtles eventually find the water filled with ink (“just like a squid!”), preventing them from pursuing the indifferent mutant any further.

Vernon checks in from the news van with Burne, informing him that Donald J. Lofty is arriving in his helicopter for the opening ceremony of his new building and April is nowhere to be found. Burne is distraught, declaring that even his ulcers have ulcers.

A technical hiccup leads to April briefly being escorted out of the evolution accelerator. This provides her with an opportunity to send a distress signal to the Turtlecoms before again attempting to escape. Dr. Polidorius catches her, however, and pulls out a gun – presumably a laser weapon of some sort. He marches her back into the chamber, but the signal has now reached the Turtles, who almost instantly arrive in the lab and confront the villain. Raphael speaks for us all as he expresses his disappointment at having to battle “another mad scientist!” That’s how played out this trope has become this season: it’s a crutch that even the writers are sick of.

The Turtles demand Dr. Polidorius free April, none of them able to correctly say his name. The stand-off is interrupted by the arrival of Ray, who again zaps our heroes, knocking them into a wall. Somehow in the next shot the team are standing again, and the scientist traps them in an energy cage before activating the evolution accelerator.

Normally this is where someone would step in to get April out of trouble at the last second – perhaps one of the Turtles would hurl their weapon at a control panel and blow it up. Today, however, things play out differently, with April emerging from the machine as a half-woman, half-fish mutant. The initial reveal is handled poorly, as we barely get a glimpse of her before the show fades to black for the final commercial break.

The concluding act opens with April furious at Dr. Polidorius, who insists his changes are an improvement and that she’ll “be getting fan mail from dolphins in no time!” He goes through his plan to sink New York for a second time for the benefit of the Turtles – and for any viewers only now tuning in. Raphael finally gets around to hurling his sai at a nearby fuse box, disabling the energy cell and setting the team free.

Dr. Polidorius is able to escape via a trap door. Racing against time, the Turtles set about going through the sewers and disabling his explosives. The team learn that the last set are placed beneath the new Lofty building and use April’s new-found Sonar powers to confront Polidorius and Ray, both of whom are hunkering down in a secret hideout. They’re not fast enough to stop the detonation of the last set of explosives, however, and as Vernon and a new cameraman report on the opening of the Lofty complex, it’s seen sinking into the water.

In an unusually hands-on move, April manhandles Dr. Polidorius, knocking him against a control panel that opens the emergency floodgate controls. The Turtles head to the surface, with April dragging the scientist along for the ride. Ray witnesses all this and opts to stay behind, preferring not to be involved. On the way up, the team spot Donald J. Lofty and Vernon sinking into the water and rescue them, heading up into the building and shutting the water out.

Lofty laments that he’s “ruined” now that his condominiums are filled with water. Raphael jokingly suggests that they’d make great aquariums, an idea that the property developer is thrilled about. He commends the Turtles, declaring they’ve “done it again”. When he asks how he could repay them, the team respond that he could get them to the Unbridled Technologies building so they can make Polidorius change April back to her normal self.

Wait, THAT’S what they want, just that? The Turtles already own multiple forms of transportation - wouldn’t it have been better to ask for a share in the profits or royalties from this new venture Raphael thought up? As long as we’re asking questions, what happened to the crowd of people who were present with Lofty and Vernon at the opening? Did they somehow get to safety, or have they all drowned and we’re just going to gloss over it?

Ray is briefly seen swimming around one last time. He attempts in vain to have a conversation with some fish, asking them where he can find the nearest sea bed. None of them want anything to do with him, but he’s happy to be in a place he can call his home. (By which I mean... I dunno, just the sea in general?)

The Turtles do their standard loose ends wrap-up in the living room of the Lair. Leonardo declares that he has a feeling they’ll run into Ray again, which given the staggering number of characters introduced this season who have been immediately abandoned seems wildly optimistic. On TV, Donald J. Lofty is shown to have converted the sunken condominiums into the Lofty Depths Aquarium - and all of this is said to have happened over the course of a single day. The now human-again April sings Lofty’s praises, calling him a “clever financier” even though she knows it was really Raphael’s idea. This is a hell of an about-face from her given that she was clearly hostile toward Lofty and his developments early in the episode.

The Turtles console themselves about not getting credit. Michaelangelo makes some half-hearted quip about how Lofty is just “a big fish in a little pond” to see us out.

This is the final appearance of Donald J. Lofty in broadcast order, and presumably was intended to be either the second or third of his three showings as he tells the Turtles they’ve “done it again” at the end. He made a similar remark indicating his prior history with the team in “Slash - The Evil Turtle from Dimension X”, so it seems “The Big Zipp Attack” was intended to air before either of these episodes.

Lofty’s presence here also suggests some heavy lifting was being done by David Wise in his capacity as one of the show’s Executive Story Editors, given that Wise was the credited writer for the character’s other appearances. The simplest explanation would be that Wise had the bones for this concept in place and assigned the script to Michael Reaves, and given the... contentious development of this adventure I can see why he might have wanted to offload it to a trusted set of hands.

Like Mona Lisa before him, Ray is the end result of the then-ongoing power struggles between Murakami Wolf Swenson and Mirage Studios. Originally MWS intended to introduce the character of Man Ray (AKA Ray Fillet), who had made his debut in the Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comics in October of 1989 as a heroic ally of the Turtles. The animated version was planned to be a villain, which led to objections from his creator Ryan Brown, as well as from writer of the Archie series Stephen Murphy. This apparently stemmed in part from the prior introduction of Leatherhead, whose depiction in the TV series differed greatly from that character’s prior comic characterisation.

The replacement character we got – known simply as “Ray” - seems to have been the end result of this tug-of-war, his blasé attitude to the villainous antics of Dr. Polidorius perhaps stemming from concessions made through rewrites in unsuccessful attempts to appease Brown and Murphy. What we end up with is this fascinating quasi-antagonist, a guy who’s unique amongst TMNT characters in that he doesn’t even want to be there. Despite Leonardo’s remarks, it’s clear that any hopes on the parts of MWS that Ray would be a recurring character were quickly abandoned, and that he turned out to be more trouble than he was worth.

Dr. Polidorius is yet another worthless mad scientist villain, a concept that even the show itself is now acknowledging has been run into the ground. His design is goofy, his motives are ridiculous and no amount of lampshading will make his name any less awful. Alan Oppenheimer (Skeletor from “He-Man and the Masters of the Universe”, Seaspray from “Transformers”) does his best to elevate the material given to him here in what would sadly be the veteran voice actor’s only TMNT appearance, and inevitably, the only one for the character of Polidorius.

There’s no getting around the fact that the fourth season of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles suddenly becomes much more fun to watch once you get past the long stretch of syndicated episodes cobbled together haphazardly by MW Dublin. Now they’re back, and while this is far from their ugliest offering - “The Turtle Terminator” looked much worse – it’s clear that serious issues affected the production of this episode that presumably weren’t related to the scuffles over the Ray character. To try and patch things over using the same pre-existing piece of footage three times in the same episode is unbelievable, to then take a second old animation sequence and use it three times over as well is worse still. Even small children watching the show would surely notice Leonardo walking through the same tunnel again and again.

I really want to see the animators working on these episodes improve, and will continue to point out the moments where they actually excel – Leonardo and Raphael’s interactions here being a clear example. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that the next episode, “Rhino-man” - also handled by the Dublin team – will be a step up.

I did make it through a crisis intake......I made it out of the your on uncle toms cabin program to the confessions that it was a suicide program...out to the school of life....but if I was in the woods in any way voices kept harassing me to kill myself

I told police I was really fatigued they kept placing me in this hare krishna program for felons with a lot of time in the meat industry and they wanted me to serve some bodies punishment

I explained I didn't have adequate food and water and these scary people from every imaginable company kept rolling by in their kept fantasies and leaving me by the side of the road like none of it has any community fund obligation

So I had to infer the voices to kill myself were related to the neglect and those were mafia parties intent on using me to kill guys

It was like all winter long of housing always having an inappropriate party with no obligation to do anything at all for homeless people then after neglect a lot of gun related threats

So I was like look nigger selling liquor down the way and expecting me to publicly defecate and build your wood house I'm really tired of your attitude and your mean creepy tan faggots that can never help anyone with a common courtesy

Dian fossey I don't care about liquor freaks saving something out there from my people....if you must know if I could let people develop that area near the welk i would

If I don't have to trap people by the coast line I would

I told police there may be are nano technologies out there...I don't know if it is my mentality there maybe are documents to keep people trapped near the coast line

Natives report people coming out around them to suicide so

They asked me if I wanted to harm people so I said according to universiteit Leiden homeless people have a right to enlist in militaries and commit terrorist acts...people so abandon the issue right to retaliate is allowed...so some programs manipulate that right with torture with tools but I'm not actually aware of what I would be targeting so don't act without evidence of what did it....

I am a mental so I'm not aware of what to target and feel to manipulated to do so if you ask me the compass program creates suicide bombers and they break HIPPA laws they know I studied with Ruth mas and called me a suicide bomber

Because I can retaliate no your housing has too many hazards and you need to leave

They asked me what I would do if money wasn't a problem so I said I would go to Dublin to learn the universe bomb threats housing terrorism is to become a Chicago based philanthropist and approve everyone for free stuff they like and prefer yes we see your insurance claim

Doomsday is more relevant then simm theory

People tried to earthquake and blow up a lot of my birth city
