The most obvious reference point for Stumptown is the terrific 1974-1980 NBC drama The Rockford Files, where James Garner played a PI who found himself constantly taking cases among the scumbums of LA. It was a crackerjack show with a great lead performance, a scuzzy vibe, and some strong mysteries.
The nomenclature around autonomous vehicles and self driving cars can be confusing — the most common reference point is the government's defined levels of vehicle autonomy: Last year 38,300 people died in car accidents in the U.S. and Americans wasted a whopping 6.9 billion hours of unproductive time stuck in traffic in 2014.
"It's all user-generated content so it generates a steady stream of screenshots/videos/etc, posted across social media, it's free so it still attracts constant waves of fresh visitors, and lately, it's a reference point (or cautionary tale) for the new wave of VR platforms," Au told me in an email.
"English country gardens are frequently a reference point – sensual, elegant and gentle," Said Cyrus, Creative Director of the house, tells PEOPLE, adding that he finds inspiration in his every day life: "What I do never feels like work, it's a joy and a passion and I'm thinking about design ideas 24/7."
We were also following a BMW lead car, meant to simulate a convoy between a "Mom" and "Dad" en route to a party at "grandma's house," but it's just as likely the lead car was there to block for the self-driving vehicle, and provide a reference point for it to easily track, too.
QHD+ simply tacks on an extra few rows of pixels to the familiar Quad HD, with the new LG Display panel stretching out to 2880 x 1440 resolution (yes, 2:1 would also be an accurate way of addressing the screen ratio, but the ":9" is a helpful reference point to more familiar aspect ratios).
Furthermore, as the U.S. shapes its priorities for the dialogue, knowing more about inroads that our trading partners may be making in their own dialogues, agreements or ongoing negotiations with China — including the ongoing negotiations for the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) between China and 15 other Asian countries — is an important reference point.
It's so well-known that it remains a cultural reference point even today, more than a century after Swann's Way was published: To say that something is your "madeleine" is shorthand for any sensory experience that brings back a flood of childhood memories (even though mounting evidence suggests that Proust's version may have just been soggy toast).
As consistently as she has stuck to her agenda, she has stuck to her separates: couture denim — this season in patchworks of different faded washes and weaves — and Dior-branded underthings: big pants and little bras, reimagined in wide marinière stripes (or jailhouse ones, depending on your reference point), most often worn under sheer tulle ballet skirts.
He's risen from cult figure to cultural reference point on "The Simpsons" to committing what he now calls his biggest blunder during the course of the A.P. lawsuit when he lied to his lawyers about exactly which A.P. photograph he used as the source of the "Hope" image and deleted files from his computer to cover up the truth.
It starts with a perpetual pattern of diamonds that appears to flow obliquely through the frame (up and to the right), but when a moving background pattern is introduced, giving your brain an additional reference point, the diamond pattern then appears to drift from the left to the right side of the frame, when in reality the animated pattern's movements remain static.
For many whites, Cherlin writes, their main reference group is their parents' generation, and by that standard they have little to look forward to and a lot to lament Less well-educated blacks and Hispanics have not experienced the income gains of the college-educated of all races, but they do see their lives improving when their parents are the reference point.
It usually works to their benefit, because they have preyed for years on people who either don't have the right education or knowledge base to understand complex issues like this, or to the crowd who won't back down because they reference the Bible, as though the Bible is really a book we should be using as a reference point for kindness and law.
Given, for example, the #MeToo movement and the global explosion of women demanding parity and recognition in the workplace and an end to sexual harassment, a phenomenon that apparently leads inexorably to the memory of the power suit, in all its big-buttoned, shoulder-padded glory — the most obvious recent reference point for armor to be donned on the corporate battlefield.
In this vein, the Declaration of Independence can serve as a reference point for the international community, which is evaluating a human rights system that is fast becoming a global technocracy; for human rights experts, who may have forgotten the roots of the human rights movement; and for oppressed people, who seek to hold accountable leaders who abuse their basic human rights.
"The situation is still evolving hour by hour," a deputy mayor of Paris, Colombe Brossel, said at a news conference at City Hall, adding that the authorities estimated that it would take at least a week or more for the water to recede to normal levels, which are typically three to six feet above the standard reference point for measuring the height of the river.
It's become de rigueur to compare Baltimore movies to "The Wire," but it's an unavoidable reference point here, not least for the scene in which an officer ventures inside a vacant house that's become a drug den or because we see a bit of Dante Barksdale, an anti-violence outreach coordinator whose uncle was said to be an inspiration for characters in the HBO series.
This is not an uncommon tactic in war films, giving viewers an individual human reference point or two to latch onto among seas of faceless troops, but Whitehead evokes such naked vulnerability and fear in such a short amount of time, establishing the emotional as well as physical stakes facing the troops on that beach with little more than a series of increasingly panicked looks.
The founders are hoping that with enough momentum, the Riz test will ultimately be a repository where folks can see how many movies and TV shows pass and/or fail (and how badly they fail) the test, and a hivemind that serves as a cultural reference point to ultimately also be able to influence the industry into creating better, more complicated, and diverse Muslim characters on-screen.
It is the influence of drugs, the many visual instances of them in the work — a bag of shrooms or the glass bottles that indicate the extraction of DMT — and the artist's use of them as a titular reference point from "We Ate the Acid" and the alpha-numeric that iterates the statement in reverse, to LSD WORLDPEACE at Slow Culture that opens the work, justly or unjustly, to mockery.
While most inventions generated will be nonsensical, the cost to computationally create and publish millions of ideas is nearly zero – which allows for a higher probability of possible valid prior art...The particular Creative Commons license was chosen to prevent commercial use of the text along with restricting derivatives, since the point of the prior art is to be publicly published unmodified as it is to be a valid reference point.
