![]() Still suspecting that there is something off about the pigs, Red recruits Chuck and Bomb to find Mighty Eagle, Bird Island's missing protector and the only bird who can fly. When he returns and shows everyone the other pigs, the birds accept Leonard's explanation that he only lied to see if Bird Island was safe for his simple-minded cousins. He finds more pigs hidden below deck, contradicting Leonard's claim that he and Ross are alone. ![]() They introduce the birds to various innovations, including a giant slingshot, but Red becomes suspicious of the pigs' motives and sneaks into Leonard's boat. ![]() The birds greet two green-colored pigs, the captain Leonard and his assistant Ross, who claim to be peaceful explorers bringing offerings of friendship. One day, a boat docks at the island's shore, damaging Red's house. Two of Red's classmates, Chuck, who is hyperactive and can move at hypervelocity, and Bomb, who can cause explosions with his anger and fear, try to befriend him, but he avoids them. When he accidentally causes a premature hatching of another bird's egg, he is sentenced to anger management class, which is the highest penalty allowed on the island. Red, an angry bird, has been an outcast from Bird Island ever since he was a hatchling due to his short temper and his huge, jet-black eyebrows. A sequel, The Angry Birds Movie 2, was released on August 14, 2019, co-produced by Sony Pictures Animation, who were not involved with this film. The film received overall mixed reviews from critics and grossed $352 million worldwide. The Angry Birds Movie was released in the United States and Canada on May 20, 2016. Sony Pictures Imageworks was responsible for handling animation services for the film. ![]() Rovio and Sony Pictures announced that they would spend roughly €100 million for the marketing and distribution of The Angry Birds Movie, surpassing the €8.5 million budget of Big Game (2014) to become the most expensive Finnish-produced film up to that point. The first image from the film was revealed in October 2014, with Sudeikis, Gad, McBride, Hader, Rudolph Dinklage revealed to be part of its cast at the same time. The film follows Red (Sudeikis), an outcast in an island of anthropomorphic flightless birds, as he suspects a newly arrived crew of pigs led by Leonard (Hader) of plotting an evil plan, and attempts to put a stop to them with the help of his newfound friends Chuck (Gad) and Bomb (McBride).Īfter the success of the Angry Birds Toons webseries, Rovio subsequently began development on an adaptation of the Angry Birds video game series, and would proceed to make a proper announcement in December 2012. It stars the voices of Jason Sudeikis, Josh Gad, Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Sean Penn, Tony Hale, Keegan-Michael Key, Bill Hader, and Peter Dinklage. The film was directed by Clay Kaytis and Fergal Reilly (in their feature directorial debuts) from a screenplay written by Jon Vitti and a story by Mikael Hed, Mikko Pöllä, and co-producer John Cohen. The Angry Birds Movie (also known simply as Angry Birds) is a 2016 animated comedy film based on Rovio Entertainment's video game series of the same name, produced by Columbia Pictures and Rovio Animation, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing. ![]()

![]() ![]() We know birth, death and rebirth, yet were never born and will never die. We feel pleasure and pain, and yet can sense a separateness from pleasure and pain. We don’t see ourselves here, however, we see ourselves there in the glass! We’re both on the wheel of life and death, and off it, simultaneously. It’s like seeing one’s face in any mirror-there we are in the glass, but we know we’re not there, we’re really here in front of it. Though it seems real while it’s happening, these ups and downs are just a mirage-true in one sense, but not in another. It’s all just an image of our lives, our minds. The figure of death holds up the mirror so that we can see our own reflections. Blindness to what we are leads to self-centred acts, which leads to self-centred consciousness, which leads to believing in ‘me’ and ‘mine’, which leads to regarding the six bodily senses as personal attributes, which leads to the belief that it is ‘me’ making contact with ‘you’ or with some other ‘thing’, which leads to feelings of ‘like’ or ‘dislike’, which leads to craving, which leads to grasping, which leads to striving, which leads to a sense of being in the world, which leads to identifying with the decaying process, which leads to identifying with death, which leads to the ignorance which created the action which created the consciousness which created the name and form which created the six senses. Death, therefore, leads on again to ignorance, karma. These twelve represent a complete life, but the links are attached to each other into a chain because there is no first cause, no beginning, and no ending of existence. Every aspect of life is linked to a cause and a result. Each link represents something specific-one is ignorance, and this is linked to karma (action), and sequentially on it goes to consciousness, name and form, six senses, contact, feeling, craving, grasping, becoming, birth, decay and death. ![]() According to the teachings of Buddhism these twelve just goes round and round. The rim of the wheel, the tyre, is a chain of events known as ‘the twelve links of dependent origination’. ![]() Remove one and the axis will collapse, bringing the wheel crashing down. It is these which make the world go round. These three represent the greed, hatred and delusion that dogs our lives. We find ourselves first in one condition and then in another-suddenly, often, without warning.Īt the hub of the wheel are three creatures-a pig, a snake and a cock-each biting the tail of the other. This is one of the basic points of this teaching it shows us how easy it is to go from one state to another, or how impossible it is to remain in one of them, whether we want to or not. The realms are transitory and relate to feelings and conditions of mind. And when we’re not obsessed or taken over by any extreme states of mind, we reside in a fairly harmonious, balanced state as a so-called sane, human living. Sometimes also jealousy takes us-we want what someone else has, and we want it now, or we at least wish they didn’t have it, anyway. From time to time, we’re also in heaven where everything seems to be just perfect, for the moment. Occasionally-or more than occasionally-we enter hell and suffer the torment of grief, fear and anguish. Or, we’re like animals-we live just for our own basic needs all the while, unconcerned with the needs of others. Sometimes we are like hungry ghosts-we can’t settle in our place we always want something, or more of something-hungry for this or that. In each, the Buddha is portrayed offering an escape, because none of these situations is totally satisfactory, not even the tranquillity of heaven. There are six realms within this wheel-a heavenly realm a realm of jealousy an animal realm a hell realm a realm of hungry ghosts and a human realm. There is no physical face staring back at us, however, instead the reflection is of the experiences in our lives-all the possibilities open to us-in the form of a wheel. He is shown holding up a great, round mirror. The first thing that one notices in these vivid Tibetan scrolls ( thangkas), is the a large character representing the Lord of Death. It has everything in it as far as the Buddha’s teaching is concerned, and the Tibetans, among others, have used it since time immemorial. Most will agree, I am sure, that the Wheel of Life never loses its value as an object of contemplation. I was therefore prompted to write this short introduction a s a reminder of this fascinating teaching-aid. I received an interesting piece recently by Jamie Gargett-which follows this preamble-about the realm of the hungry ghosts on the Wheel of Life. ![]() ![]() ![]() The plot features key moments in Batman's career, such as his first encounter with the Joker, and the beginning of his partnership and friendship with Jim Gordon.

For simple tables, kable() should suffice. When writing out an HTML table, the caption must be written in the tag. Tables By default, R Markdown displays data frames and matrixes as they would be in the R terminal (in a monospaced font). You have to be very careful about the portability of the table generating function: it should work for both HTML and LaTeX output automatically, so it must consider the output format internally (check knitr::opts_knit$get('')). Markdown.Rmd is Rstudio’s special blend of Markdown (a text rendering language) is the more generic Markdown file type. If you decide to use other R packages to generate tables, you have to make sure the label for the table environment appears in the beginning of the table caption in the form (\#label) (again, label must have the prefix tab:). To be able to cross-reference a Markdown table, it must have a labeled caption of the form Table: (\#label) Caption here, where label must have the prefix tab:, e.g., tab:simple-table. You can use any types of Markdown tables in your document. What knitr::kable() generates is a simple table like this: Pandoc supports several types of Markdown tables, such as simple tables, multiline tables, grid tables, and pipe tables. Knitr :: kable( iris, longtable = TRUE, booktabs = TRUE, caption = 'A table generated by the longtable package.' ) TABLE 2.4: A table generated by the longtable package.

There are ~50 scripts currently bundled in SNT. Script parameters are typically used for simpler routines. SNT Scripts are intentionally written in multiple languages to demonstrate flexibility, but the majority is written in Groovy and Python (Jython), for no other reason that those seem to be the most commonly used language by its developers.
