3/10/2023 0 Comments Visual itonerThe overall research question is: to what extent and in what ways can the sonic dimension be regarded as central for effective communication and persuasion in the spreading of conspiracy theoretical content? The purpose of the project is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the roles played by soundtrack elements – sound effects, music, voice, silence – in audiovisually mediated conspiracy- theoretical discourse. In 2023 I will start on a new research project titled Conspiracy soundtracks: The role of music and sound in audiovisually mediated conspiracy theoretical discourse (funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, 2023-2026). I am also the project leader for the research project Classical Music for a Mediatized World: Visual and Audiovisual Representations of Western Art Music in Contemporary Media and Society (funded by the Swedish Research Council 2018-2023): My ongoing research is concerned with questions of how traditional ideas and beliefs about classical music are reproduced, challenged and subverted in contemporary screen media fictions. The project issued in the monograph Andrei Tarkovsky’s Sounding Cinema: Music and Meaning from Solaris to The Sacrifice (Routledge, 2020). In the recently completed research project Tarkovsky’s Soundtracks: The Significance of Music and Sound in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Cinema (funded by Riksbankens Jubileumsfond) I examined the role and function of music and sound in the films of Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky. In my earlier research project Creativity and Justification: The Epistemology and Methodology of Critical Interpretation in Musical Research I focused on issues of methodology, epistemology and interpretation in relation to three disciplinary fields: historical musicology, film music studies and the philosophy of music. My research lies at the intersection between cultural theory, philosophical aesthetics, and audiovisual studies.

(For most other/older NI controllers the Midi templates are edited in Controller Editor instead.) Best to edit these from the KK software as per NI manual. Templates are stored in "Komplete Kontrol MK2 Settings.dat" and are evaluated through NIHIA. All other variations of using MIDI messages from the keyboard to learn/link to Reaper actions, plugin controls etc are possible just like with any other keyboard incl more advanced concepts like using MIDItoReaControlPath.Īnd the NI software allows you to create Midi templates to modify the Midi CCs, add names, create keybed zones, colors etc. map an action to one of the top row buttons. Maybe you simply forgot to enable control messages for your normal KOMPLETE KONTROL Midi Device in the Reaper options? You would do the latter if you want to have your MIDI CC buttons and knobs on the keyboard to act globally within Reaper, e.g. And you can do that on top of ReaKontrol, it coexists happily together with all the Reaper standard stuff. You can do exactly what you would do with any other MIDI controller. There are no limitations in regards to mapping actions to the S88, MIDI learn, MIDI link etc. I can't even map an action to a midi controller.unless I'm missing something. It is also the reason why - at least at this stage with the very simple structure we have - I do not see a reason for a dedicated installer. It takes care of the whole point of installing all required files properly. This leads me to installation in general: I am a huge fan of ReaPack! It should be the default way to install. However, once the dust has settled we might remove the message at startup and just leave the one when you invoke the function. Most people will not ever encounter the message anyway. In a nutshell: I stand by my decision to create these messages and "gently force" the user to do a proper installation. Although part of the ini that comes with the installation these actions do not even appear if people do not have the extensions installed. The same is true if people have no interest or idea how to take advantage of those customized actions & scripts that do not come natively with Reaper. However, recognizing that some user already encountered issues with the single file installation I think the switch to a slightly more involved philosophy justifies a message at startup if the installation was not completed successfully. Now, admittedly, the message at startup is "rubbing it in" because we still have the warning once you invoke custom actions. could also happen with a portable install when moving stuff around) rather than replace it with a default dummy. I want the user to know if the config file is missing (e.g. With ReaKontrol v1.0 the philosophy changes a little from "no user interaction necessary" (single file install, behind the scene csurf without any need for extra control surface config) to "user involvement encouraged" (additional file installation which is user editable). "nag" message at startup if installation is not complete and another message on the keyboard's display once the function gets invoked "config file not found". Creating the ini if not found came in on 2nd place, but in the end I deliberately settled on the current implementation: i.e. I went through exactly those ideas too (incl supplying an installer). The ReaStash entry is updated to reaKontrol (OSX) v1.00 Note to myself/TODO: i have to support you on the manual regarding OSX as previously offered. Therefore a suggestion: If there is no reakontrol.ini in the user preferences folder: why don't we create one with the default settings? Other idea: why don't we just ignore the file if it's not there? Third idea: if there is no file, why don't we just set the default actions without a configuration file? Leads to the same situation - zero config. I don't like messages which are nagging me that i have to provide some data first before using something with basic functionality. Personally i like the concept of zero-config. Do you want to provide a general Win/OSX release at We can *maybe* synchronize the release and create one "release" pack at your central repository the next time? Just an offer. Some general questions about the release and the future: What should i do? Add it here? But it's not an API or control surface? Or is it a control surface? Do you have a link to the Windows-Entry so i can shamelessly copy it? Regarding ReaPack: I NEED HELP! Can't get into the magic. Yes but f4b7d introduced a small regression. What about publishing those also via ReaPack? I guess it's your turn now to build the OSX binaries. 3/10/2023 0 Comments Notability vs pdf expertInside each divider I have “groups” that hold notes in Notability. I use “dividers” to separate three top level categories of notes: Home, Work, and Scratch (a.k.a. Through a combination of folders and dividers I can create a moderately useful note organization. Organization and SearchĪ major difference between Notability and GoodNotes (and many other iOS note apps) is Notability’s global search and three level document organization. I’d love to see Notability expand on these options to link between dates and calendar events or even allow me to change the date with a calendar picker instead of typing. Tapping or clicking the date reveals surprisingly useful options. After typing a date string, it becomes underlined. There’s a curious option when working with date text in Notability. I add annotations with the handwriting ink around the outline and later export the entire thing to my note archive in DEVONthink. I find these particularly useful for meeting agendas. Number outlines are also well supported in Notability. Tab indents new items and they even support formatted text within checklists. On any of the supported Notability platforms, just select some text and set the format to checklist. The support for outlines and checklist is excellent and something that is one of the main selling point over GoodNotes. Simple formatting is the least of what I like about text in Notability. I don’t want to fiddle, I just want to call attention to some text or create an informative divider in a section. Still, the simplicity of having just three favorites is exactly how I work with text formatting in my notes. The same features exist on the iPhone and the Mac but the favorites do not sync, which is a bit of let down. Notability also adds an option to create three favorite formats to quickly apply to text. Notability makes it a lot more natural to jump between the two modes and provides some additional formatting options that actually keep me typing longer.Īs with the ink, there are limited text formatting options in Notability but what’s there is easily accessible and covers most of what I want to do. While I love handwriting in GoodNotes it always felt a bit awkward to type text. I try to avoid using too many colors and almost always use the same line thickness. There are plenty of ink variations in Notability for my needs. But the difference is slight and in my use not important enough to ignore the other application differences. It feels a bit smoother and more realistic to me. The ink system in GoodNotes is subtly better than Notability. But, I’ve switched to Notability since a recent update that adds handwriting recognition on top of Notability’s other more refined features. The advantage of GoodNotes has always been its excellent handwriting recognition and export. I often need a combination of diagrams, text, and plain old doodles for meeting notes. GoodNotes is a terrific app for handwritten notes. 3/10/2023 0 Comments Games angry birds space hdThe web browser game will work smoothly in Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Maxthon, Sea Monkey, Avast secure, and Avant Browser.Īngry Birds Space was developed by Disney, but you can also play the game online for free on.

The moss will lead you a little bit towards the left to a small walkway. This is easily done by situating yourself directly opposite of it and then jumping across. You will reach a circular pillar that you have to jump onto. Once you get to other side, you have to go around yet another ledge, which is a little bit below your position. On the opposite side, leap across to the visible moss and keep going around the second ledge above. Go around it while still using the diagonal jump to save stamina. Now, follow it all the way up until you reach a ledge on the right. If you use your horse and jump off of him towards the wall of ivy, you will save even more stamina. To reach the secret garden, you have to locate the wall of ivy on the northeast side of the temple shrine. You could also search for white-tailed lizards as an alternative to gain stamina. Once he does this, let go of jump and you will scale the wall diagonally without using a large amount of stamina.īefore you decide to reach the secret garden, it is advisable to complete about 7 colossi for the sole reason of acquiring enough stamina to take on this task. When you grab a climbable wall (usually indicated by the moss growing on it), you have to hold jump and the left analog stick diagonally up until your character swings his arm, depending on what direction you tilted the analog stick. All you have to do is familiarize yourself with the diagonal jump. You do not need to beat the game 4 times to reach the secret garden.

Los juegos de la franquicia Pokémon fueron los más vendidos en la consola, siendo las ediciones Rubí y Zafiro, las que mayor ventas generaron. Lo que hizo que se portaran muchos juegos de Super Nintendo a GBA, como los juegos de Mario de dicha consola o los Final Fantasy. La Game Boy Advance contaba con un rendimiento de hardware comparable al de SNES. Durante la sexta generación de consolas Nintendo mantuvo su participación dominante en el mercado de dispositivos portátiles, siendo que el único rival importante fue la N-Gage, que nunca pudo compararse con la GBA. La consola fue un éxito en ventas, durante toda su vida comercial se vendieron 81,51 millones de unidades en todo el mundo. También señalaron la falta de luz de fondo del sistema que ocasionalmente interfería con los juegos. Tras su lanzamiento, IGN elogió las capacidades gráficas y la duración de la batería de Game Boy Advance, pero criticó la ubicación del botón lateral de la consola y señaló el alto precio.

If you want to bring back this retro motorbike game to your PC, it's now easier than ever: you only have to hit the download button to get hold of Road Rash once again.Game Boy Advance es una videoconsola portátil de 32 bits desarrollada, fabricada y comercializada por Nintendo como sucesora de la Game Boy Color. In fact, it was an advance in playability and graphics to what we saw a bit later in the first Need For Speed installment, the car racing game that definitely doesn't need any kind of introduction. The game was first released back in 1991 for Sega Mega Drive (known as Genesis in the USA) but some years later it was adapted to other platforms such as 3DO, PlayStation, Sega Saturn, and PC. The game took place on the typical Californian bidirectional road in which we had to worry about overtaking our rivals and also dodging the traffic by racing past it or avoiding it if it was heading towards us, in order to not end up on the ground. Motorbike races in which everything is allowed Road Rash allowed us to take part in motorbike races with rather loose rules, being able to know down our rivals by kicking them or punching them if we deemed it appropriate. We're talking about a rather successful game during the 90s'. 3/9/2023 0 Comments Pixel picker tool salsaj 2.3To pick a colour and its code, choose the desired format in the colour code format list, then point the mouse cursor at any pixel or a screen area and press the hotkey.

Seven years have passed since the dramatic events in Antaloor brought the whole world to the edge of the abyss. If The Hero decides to fight Gandohar, it takes you to the beginning of the game where he is seen on horseback with Kyra (whichever side you pick, it makes no impact on the sequel, Two Worlds 2). If The Hero decides to side with Gandohar, he is last seen standing alongside him with his sister, Kyra. Eventually, he travels to Oswaroth and fights Reist Tungard and Gandohar (depending on whether you chose to fight him). Throughout the game, The Hero finds himself earning the trust of various clans, tribes, and even an orc to find out information on his sister's whereabouts.Īlong the way, The Hero uncovers the truth about his family's past and must find the five elemenents of his ancestor's key, that unlocks the tomb of Aziraal.īetrayed by Gandohar at the ritual to unlock Aziraal's tomb, he then travels to the nearby Necromancer towers and kill Gandohar's best men. When he discovers his sister Kyra is wounded, he searches an abandoned home in Thalmont for a place of rest, only to discover Kyra was captured by a pursuing Gandohar.Īfter months of searching, he is confronted by a villager of Komorin village named Tago, who directs him to the Village Elder of Komorin, and tells him Mercenaries wish to see him, thus beginning the main adventure of Two Worlds. He's first seen in the opening cutscene to the game, riding in a storm, on horseback with his sister Kyra, avoiding Gandohar. The Hero is the un-named protagonist of Two Worlds. It's a lovely bright airy space with plenty of seating on the main floor as well as an extra mezzanine level. We headed to the huge site inside the Arndale Centre, sandwiched nicely between fellow chicken chain Nandos and burger giant Five Guys. They've now got over 100 restaurants across the world, with the UK seen as a key market since opening up in Bluewater in 2020 and two opening in Manchester in the past year. Slim Chickens in the Arndale (Image: Manchester Evening News)Ī relative newcomer to the fried chicken scene, Slim Chickens was founded in Arkansas in 2003 by pals Greg Smart and Tom Gordon. Time for order? It seemed to take forever - presumably because of all those Deliveroos - a not very quick at all 11 minutes for fast food. Was there a queue? No queue at all, although the kitchen appeared to be really busy getting Deliveroo orders ready. Although it was the longest we had to wait for our bag of goodies out of the three restaurants. It's all very clean and new, and staff were helpful with how to order in terms of which flavours were spicy and which not-so-spicy. There's a larger seating area up the stairs, and we particularly liked the large neon bee and "Manchester" wall print making it nice and local. We headed to the recently-opened Wingstop on the ever-busy Piccadilly Gardens, although it was fairly quiet in the downstairs ordering area. Naturally, given its name, its famous for its wings - which you can choose in a variety of flavour combos. Wingstop was founded in Texas in 1994 and now has over 1.400 restaurants worldwide, with a rapid expansion here in the UK. Wingstop on Piccadilly Gardens (Image: Manchester Evening News) Time for order? KFC was the speediest of the three chains, with just 120 seconds between tapping my card to pay, to having the bag in my hand. There were a few people reading the menu still deciding, and a few others waiting for orders to collect. There is also the option to order at the till, if you prefer to pay in cash. Inside it was pretty quiet so we were able to order on one of the four touch screen points immediately. Instead, it has ‘Kentucky Fried Chicken’ written in full in quite a nice font on the side of the building. It doesn’t seem to carry the standard fast food chain’s branding of a red banner and white ‘KFC’ on the front, but is a little more discreet. We headed to the KFC branch on Piccadilly Approach to get our fix, where the compact branch could easily go undetected if you weren’t sure where to look for it. Famed for the tagline "finger licking good" and for its "secret" original recipe with 11 spices that it keeps firmly under lock and key. We decided to put them all to the test, ordering as similar menu items as possible in all three of the restaurants - choosing the sites closest to each other in Manchester city centre.įounded by Colonel Sanders way back in 1930, Kentucky Fried Chicken is one of the world's biggest and best known fast food brands. Read more : We went to Burger King, McDonald's and Five Guys in the city centre and the winner was a no-brainer But how do the three fried chicken giants really compare? The barbecue chicken treats from the USA are now well and truly embedded in UK culture, with the Texan hot wings of Wingstop and Arkansas treats of Slim Chickens seemingly keen to take a slice of KFC 's Kentucky-fried dominance. Both brands are now available at the Trafford Centre as well as in prime spots in the city centre - Wingstop on Piccadilly Gardens while Slim Chickens is in the Manchester Arndale centre. Slim Chickens and WIngstop have this year both opened four huge new Manchester sites amid rapid UK expansion. And it continues to grow in popularity here in Manchester with the recent arrival of two more US chicken chains to compete with the grandaddy of Southern-fried treats, KFC. America is famous for many of the world's biggest fast food chains, with fried chicken among the most popular exports. |
