Sound effects
Dec 6th
Sound effects or audio effects are artificially created or enhanced sounds, or sound processes used to emphasize artistic or other content of films, television shows, live performance, animation, video games, music, or other media. In motion picture and television production, a sound effect is a sound recorded and presented to make a specific storytelling or creative point without the use of dialogue or music. The term often refers to a process applied to a recording, without necessarily referring to the recording itself. In professional motion picture and television production, dialogue, music, and sound effects recordings are treated as separate elements. Dialogue and music recordings are never referred to as sound effects, even though the processes applied to them, such as reverberation or flanging effects, often are called “Sound Effects“.
Cobra a lifeline for firefighters:
Dec 6th
The word Firefighting may be simple to pronounce, but it involves lot of risk. Firefighting is the act of extinguishing destructive fires which leaves firefighter’s life in vain. Day by day lot of new technologies has been introduced for the comfort of firefighters during operation. So a new technology has been implemented by Sweden. The technology was a named as Cobra which helps the firefighters to stay outside the line of fire. If one compares it with other technologies then they feel the ultimate difference. In cobra the firefighters will approach the fire from different angle. The technology in this device was shaped in such a way that a water gun weighing ten to fifteen kilograms is connected to a high pressure hose. This has the capacity to pump about sixty liters of water per minute, at pressure of 300 bars. The Cobra works in the clever way of ‘spitting out a mix of water and ion oxide’ at considerable rate. Grow thick anodyne flowers. The powerful hose can slice the stone walls of about five centimeters in a span of about 5 to 6 seconds. The hose has a power with which it can even slice the steel doors. So using this wonderful technology a small hole can be penetrated in the wall of the burning building from outside. With the hole water can be sprayed, to increase the firefighter safety. Cobra is the powerful equipment with simplicity and provides safety to the firefighter’s work. If advantage of using cobra is understood then without any doubt it is a precious asset in the field of firefighting.
