That’s pretty powerful.”Īs the Guardian reported, Birx “remained silent. “So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. ![]() Trump said: “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. On Thursday 23 April 2020, William Bryan, undersecretary for science and technology at the Department of Homeland Security, discussed a study of effects on the coronavirus from sun exposure and cleaning agents – as applied to surfaces, not the human body. Trump even took the drug himself, before the Food and Drug Administration revoked emergency use authorization, citing concerns about side effects including “serious heart rhythm problems” and death.Ītlas’s reference to “drinking disinfectant, ingesting bleach and using UV light” is to the events of a memorable White House briefing when again it was Trump’s pronouncements that went wildly awry – not those of his officials.

They were there as the sole medical input into the taskforce, generating the entire advisory output to the states.” Atlas’s book is replete with attacks on both.ĭescribing the fight against Covid before he came to the White House, Atlas accidentally sideswipes Trump when he writes: “Birx and Fauci stood alongside the president during headline-dominating debacles in the Brady Press Room about using hydroxychloroquine, drinking disinfectant, ingesting bleach and using UV light to cure the virus. Both were senior members of Trump’s Covid taskforce. Fauci has served seven presidents as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Speaking to Fox News, Atlas promised to “expose the unvarnished truth” about Trump’s Covid taskforce, including “a shocking lack of critical thinking about the science … a reckless abuse of public health and a moral failure in what should be expected from public health leaders”.īirx, an army physician, is a longtime leader in the fight against Aids.

Thus our velocity can be found by the formula We talked about the increase in speed which is equal to the amount of g in a second. V=g.t where g is gravitational acceleration and t is the time. Look at the given example below and try to understand what I tried to explain above.Įxample The boy drops the ball from a roof of the house which takes 3 seconds to hit the ground. Calculate the velocity before the ball crashes to the ground. We have learned how to find the velocity of the object at a given time. Now we will learn how to find the distance taken during the motion. I give some equations to calculate distance and other quantities. Galileo found an equation for distance from his experiments. Using this equation we can find the height of the house in given example above. Let’s found how height the ball has been dropped? We use 10 m/s ² for g. I think the formula now a little bit clearer in your mind. We will solve more problems related to this topic. Now, think that if I throw the ball straight upward with an initial velocity. When it stops and falls back to the ground? We answer these questions now. Picture shows the magnitudes of velocity at the bottom and at the top. As you can see the ball is thrown upward with an initial v velocity, at the top it’s velocity becomes zero and it changes it’s direction and starts to fall down which is free fall. Finally at the bottom before the crash it reaches its maximum speed which shown as V’. We have talked about the amount of increase in the velocity in free fall. It increases 9,8m/s in each second due to the gravitational acceleration. In this case, there is also g but the ball’s direction is upward so the sign of g is negative. Thus, our velocity decreases in 9,8m/s in each second until the velocity becomes zero. At the top, because of the zero velocity, the ball changes its direction and starts to free fall. Before solving problems I want to give the graphs of free fall motion.Īs you see in the graphs our velocity is linearly increases with an acceleration “g”, second graphs tells us that acceleration is constant at 9,8m/s², and finally third graphic is the representation of change in our position. At the beginning we have a positive displacement and as the time passes it decreases and finally becomes zero. Now we can solve problems using these graphs and explanations.Įxample John throws the ball straight upward and after 1 second it reaches its maximum height then it does free fall motion which takes 2 seconds. Calculate the maximum height and velocity of the ball before it crashes the ground. (g=10m/s²)Įxample An object does free fall motion. Calculate the velocity of the object after 3 seconds and before it hits the ground. Two examples given above try to show how to use free fall equations. We can find the velocity, distance and time from the given data. Now, I will give three more equations and finishes 1D Kinematics subject. The equations are įirst equation is used for finding the velocity of the object having initial velocity and acceleration. Second one is used for calculating the distance of the object having initial velocity and acceleration. Third and last equation is timeless velocity equation. ![]() Lawrence now does the voice of Plankton and writes for SpongeBob. Derek worked on that, as did Doug Lawrence, both as a voice and a writer/storyboard guy. He and I met there, as did a few other guys who would go on to become seminal in the birth of SpongeBob. Steve was the creative director on that, and it was my first voice-over of any significance. We worked together on Rocko’s Modern Life, a Nicktoons show created by Joe Murray. Tom Kenny, voice of SpongeBob, 1999-present: My involvement with SpongeBob came about through my involvement with Steve Hillenburg. Just as importantly, Hillenburg had become acquainted with the coterie that would help him bring his vision to fruition. “I was just blown away” The odds of a property getting picked up and produced are remote, but Stephen Hillenburg had honed his chops on the critically acclaimed Rocko’s Modern Life. Telling the story of any animated property inevitably involves a narrative comprising many people who often play unsung but key roles in giving a show its character and sensibility. Hogan’s Alley spoke with some of those people who offered their insights and reminiscences about their experiences in animating the world’s most famous sponge. (Hillenburg retains a role as executive producer, though he no longer orchestrates every detail of the show as he had during the first three seasons.) However, Hillenburg and creative director Derek Drymon chose to leave the show, allowing other hands to take the wheel. 19, 2004, was a popular and critical hit, and a fourth season was announced. At the time, no one knew if more SpongeBob episodes would be forthcoming. Hillenburg announced that he was putting the series on hiatus while he focused on the theatrical movie. SpongeBob’s first era ended in 2004 with the conclusion of the third season. (Only later would the broadcaster learn that the program was also popular among college students in various states of sobriety and among gay viewers-but more on that later.) The series started strongly (in a vote of early confidence, parent network Nickelodeon aired its debut immediately following the broadcast of its highly rated Kids’ Choice Awards), and it found a loyal audience among children as well as adults who appreciated its whimsy and slyly deceptive sophistication. The first period began with its debut on (though Hillenburg had been developing the concept for years some evidence shows it had been gestating since 1986). SpongeBob’s evolution can be broken broadly into two distinct periods: prior to the movie, and after it. To this day, long after Hillenburg handed his characters off to others, that approach remains the show’s credo. From the beginning, Hillenburg emphasized that the stories should focus on the characters, never striving for the archly ironic, self-aware cool that might fleetingly catch viewers’ fancy but which inevitably wears out its welcome. They bought into Hillenburg’s vision of SpongeBob as the eternal child who could see only the bright side of even the most oppressively punishing situation and who finds only the good in the most ill-intentioned people. On that program, Hillenburg became acquainted with the group of people who would become central to helping him realize his vision of a porous protagonist and his subaquatic friends, chief among them Derek Drymon, Nick Jennings and Tom Kenny. But his passion for animation led him to a role as creative director of Joe Murray’s cartoon, Rocko’s Modern Life. The comic book featured a sponge named Bob that was the first incarnation of the spongiform sprite. Hillenburg, a marine biologist by training, created Intertidal Zone, a comic book for his employer, the Ocean Institute. SpongeBob’s rise to animation’s pantheon, not to mention his longevity, made his creator Stephen Hillenburg very wealthy and practically a household name, thanks to SpongeBob merchandise bearing his signature. If the formula-a goofy naïf and his eccentric fellow-travelers-sounded standard, its execution was anything but: The character’s indomitable optimism and childlike joy set him apart from characters whose appeal is predicated on an aspirational attitude of cool. When the first SpongeBob SquarePants episode (“Help Wanted”) aired on May 1, 1999, it did so with little fanfare. It’s SpongeBob’s ocean we just swim in it. Tom Heintjes gathered insights and reminiscences from some of the people behind SpongeBob SquarePants to illuminate the making of a cultural phenomenon. More than a decade has passed since Stephen Hillenburg’s porous protagonist established Bikini Bottom as a must-see outpost of popular culture.
