The Legend of Futian
1230 Jianmu City
Author :Jing Wu Hen
Ye Futian and his party did not return to Qianye City after leaving Crimson River. They were still inside Crimson Dragon City.
This first major city of Crimson Dragon Realm was extremely vast, with many wonders and cultivation places that were not seen in other Renhuang realms. It was not only in possession of a battlefield like the Rising Dragon Platform, but also had other places of cultivation.
The land west of Crimson Dragon Realm was where Ye Futian and his party had gone. There were countless roads in front of them. These roads were like the branches of an ancient tree, extending to different places in every direction. A faint sense of heat was transmitted from the place.
On each ancient road, people coming and going. The place was filled with cultivators. People of the Saint Plane seemed to be everywhere as well.
Ye Futian looked forward and raised his head slightly to look at the sky. He saw something like a floating castle. It was boundless, reaching high above the sky. Even the holy will was unable to reach it.
The sun and its radiance shone down from the sky. Above the castle, divine golden birds could be seen flying in circles. Bright flames rained down, holier than one could imagine.
Standing next to all of it, Ye Futian and his party seemed incredibly small. When someone walked past them and set foot on one of the roads, it was as if they had stepped onto a branch.
"Is this the Divine Jianmu Tree?" Yi Xiaoshi whispered. One of the four legendary Divine Trees in the lore, the Divine Jianmu Tree could connect the heaven and the earth. It was able to reach the depths of the earth and high above the firmament so that heaven and earth were connected.
Each of his branches was an ancient road. Together, it formed thousands of ancient roads that led to Jianmu City, the city which lay in front of them.
The Crimson Dragon Army guarded Jianmu City. Standing above the void, they looked like an army from heaven.
Jianmu City was a holy place for cultivation. It was also one of the largest trading posts in Crimson Dragon City. To enter Jianmu City, payment of spirit stones of the Great Path was required. Otherwise, one was not eligible to cultivate in Jianmu City.
Furthermore, the price of admission was not cheap. Those who were weak and small in their cultivation simply could not cultivate for long in Jianmu City. Otherwise, Jianmu City would have become overcrowded a long time ago.
"Go and feel it," Ye Futian said. He walked over to the Crimson Dragon Army and paid the spirit stones required for everyone to enter.
The group of people walked forward and entered a boulevard inside Jianmu City. The boulevard was lined with a lot of buildings that seemed to be no different from those on the outside. However, when you looked up at them, you would see a stout tree branch supporting a road above it.
Furthermore, there was an extremely hot stream of air above the ancient tree like the flaming breath of the Great Path.
"Jianmu City reaches the sky and goes deep into the ground, absorbing the fire of the Great Path. The higher that Jianmu City reaches upward, the more prosperous the trading post will become. Many top forces have been taking shape inside Jianmu City over the years and taking root here. The more rooted they are, the more suitable for cultivation. It is said that, at the bottom of Jianmu, ordinary cultivators of the Saint Plane are unable to stay without getting burned up into ashes under the fire of the Great Path," someone behind Ye Futian said.
The one who spoke was Shen Jun, the former young master of Qianye City. He'd always been very dashing and elegant, but now he was more subdued. He was acting as a guide for Ye Futian and his group, introducing the background of the Crimson Dragon Realm to Ye Futian. After all, he'd grown up in the Crimson Dragon Realm and knew much more about it than Ye Futian.
Ye Futian nodded slightly, contemplating what kind of truth would be contained within the Three Thousand Realms of the Great Path.
In the Empty Realm, the will of space hung in the sky.
The Crimson Dragon Realm was more powerful than the space will of the Empty Realm. This Crimson Dragon Realm truly belonged to a world of flames. It was said that those who cultivated in the art of flames were extremely powerful.
"Let's go up first," Ye Futian said, then looked at Luo Fan beside him. "Fifth senior brother, let's go see if there is a fire of the Great Path that is suitable for your cultivation."
The number of flame cultivation methods in the Crimson Dragon Realm was endless. Many top figures had refined it into a special flame of the Great Path which integrated the Way into it. These flames were of great help to the future generations of cultivators. It could even be directly refined into the body. Learning to comprehend the Divine Path was of great help to one's cultivation.
Although similar to Ye Wuchen's Renhuang sword will, the fire of the saint was not as strong as the Renhuang sword will, so it was quite suitable for Luo Fan who was still a sage.
The higher one went, the more they discovered that the world of cultivators was destined to be unfair. All of this was unimaginable in the Lower World of the Nine States. How could one compare the speed and limits of cultivation?
"I'm embarrassed to trouble my younger brother for money to spend on it," Luo Fan said.
"That's right. After all, I, your younger brother, am also poor. If that's the case, let's just not go," Ye Futian said jokingly.
"Eh..." Luo Fan stared at Ye Futian with shock. He had not expected such a response from him.
"We are all brothers of the same master. Helping each other is a matter of course. Since the younger brother is so sincere, then I will gladly accept it." Luo Fan hugged Ye Futian's shoulder, internally cursing him for being so tight with his wallet.
The senior brother was clearly not as fortunate as the younger brother.
"Of course, if you something that strikes your fancy, please pick out whatever you want. By the way, choose a gift for Miss Xuan too," Ye Futian said with a smile. He'd been joking before.
"That's the spirit. Don't forget how nice I was to you when you were young!" Luo Fan exclaimed with a thumbs up.
Ye Futian's face was a picture of confusion. When he was young?
All right, perhaps 18 or 19 years olds could be considered young.
"Have you found a good place?" Ye Futian asked Shen Jun.
"What level do you want?" Shen Jun asked.
"The best," Ye Futian responded. Luo Fan's eyes lit up. When he looked at Ye Futian, he thought that his junior brother was even more handsome than ever.
"Heavenly Flames Avenue in Jianmu City is the most prosperous place for flame trading. Even Nirvana-level flames are not lacking there. Renhuang level flames have even appeared there once," Shen Jun said.
Ye Futian nodded. "Let's go to Heavenly Flames Avenue then."
"Okay, then we need to hurry." Shen Jun nodded. His body flickered as he led the way. Ye Futian and his team followed behind. They all traveled fast as they shuttled through Jianmu City.
Jianmu City was considered a renowned city for a reason. When all the areas above and below the surface, it was much larger than a city as large as Qianye City. Therefore, one could only imagine just how massive this ancient tree that connected the world was, or that it was still growing.
In Heavenly Flames Avenue was a huge, wide-open square where many cultivators gathered to trade.
There were a lot of shops in the square, many of them temporarily built by the cultivators. Outside of these shops were engraved signs displaying what items were available for trade. Of course, there were also some large, permanent structures that were used for long term trading.
The Tower of Heavenly Flames on Heavenly Flames Avenue, for example, belonged to a major force with many invaluable Flames of the Way.
At the moment, many cultivators were assembled in the Tower of Heavenly Flames. Ye Futian and his people had just arrived. There were many flame furnaces inside, all of which contained the Flames of the Way. Above the furnace, the name of the Flame of the Way, its grade, and its abilities were listed in great detail.
The cultivation of flames in the Crimson Dragon Realm was considered the epitome of the Crimson Dragon Region. The classification and grade of the flames here were finer than anywhere else.
"Purple Flame, unblemished medium-grade Flame of the Way, aggressive attacking power with a strong ability to break defenses." Ye Futian looked at a flame furnace. Inside, a purple flame was making a sharp sizzling sound. Tiny bolts of lightning could be seen inside the flame.
After cultivators entered the saint realm, if they majored in the flames, they would temper the flame of their Great Path, making them physical, multiplying their power, and refining them to contain great Swordsmanship.
"The fire of the Golden Flames, unblemished upper-grade Flames of the Way, aggressive attacking power with the ability to melt anything. Good for attacking, forging armors..." In yet another flame furnace, the golden flames shone brightly, lighting up the flame furnace with extremely bright golden flames.
"This would be more suitable for Gongsun Xuan, but she came from Divine Could Valley. Presumably, this grade of Flame of the Way would not be a great help to her," Ye Futian whispered. Gongsun Xuan's origin meant that she had tremendous spiritual resources of her own.
In addition, her grandfather had reached the Nirvana Plane. The Flame he possessed could be tempered into the Flame of Nirvana.
"The Flames of the Way in this area were artificially made. The Flames of the Way on the other side were formed naturally," Shen Jun explained. Of course, there was no absolute advantage or disadvantage to choosing either. It was all dependent on the person who refined the flame and the strength of the natural formation.
Ye Futian and his party continued their search for an even stronger Flame of the Way.
They came across another flame furnace. Inside, the flames seemed dim and ghostly like a shadow.
"The Ghostly Flame of the Way, Nirvana mid-grade. Possesses a strong sense of destruction. Its ability to burn and destroy souls was given by the Nether Saint Lord," said the line of writing engraved on the outside of the furnace. As Ye Futian walked past the Tower of Heavenly Flames, he felt a dizzying sensation and some interest.
The flames here were too strong. By comparison, the Unblemished Flames of Way did not appear so precious.
In fact, Ye Futian had also cultivated in flaming ability. Not just the flame, he'd also cultivated many other kinds of abilities and comprehended all kinds of will.
However, because many abilities were limited by magical powers, they were not strong enough. In fact, there was no absolute strengths or weaknesses between the kinds of will. Any kind of will could be cultivated to its highest level. Ye Futian wondered if he could pick up some of them to cultivate.
"Senior brother, choose the one that suits you," Ye Futian said to Luo Fan. Stronger was generally better, but it still needed to fit Luo Fan's ability to cultivate to be effective.
For example, for those with extraordinary birthrights, if their forefathers had cultivated certain kind of flames, or even passed them on into the life spirit, they could inherit them in the form of comprehension, saving themselves half the trouble.
"Beggars can't be choosers. Let's just make do," Luo Fan said casually. However, his action was pretty deft. He pointed at a flame and said, "That's it."
Ye Futian saw the grade of the flame he wanted and felt a pinch in his heart. He said, "Senior brother, you don't want to spare me any expense!"

In the wake of ISIL defeat, US-led coalition looks to transform its mission
But US military officials stress the fight against ISIL is not over, and warn of a return to a more traditional insurgency
US defense secretary Jim Mattis leaves a luncheon meeting of senate Democrats on Capitol Hill in Washington. Michael Reynolds / EPA
With ISIL all but vanquished from its self-proclaimed caliphate in Iraq and Syria, the US-led coalition is transforming its mission.
Eager to avoid a repeat of 2011, when America completed its troop withdrawal from Iraq only to watch in horror as ISIL later overran swathes of the country, the coalition is focusing on what it must do to stop a re-emergence of the organisation.
US defense secretary Jim Mattis recently told reporters that the mission is now shifting towards stabilisation and making sure there is no space for a repeat of ISIL.
The Pentagon has said it will stay in Syria "as long as we need to".
"The longer term recovery is going to take a lot of effort and a lot of years after what (ISIL) did, because they forcibly kept innocent people in the midst of the combat zone, and that meant the residential areas took damage, the public areas – everything took damage," he said, adding that a most pressing need is to clear cities and terrain of innumerable bombs, mines and booby traps.
America hastily convened a coalition in 2014 after ISIL swept across vast tracts of Iraqi and Syrian territory, terrorising residents and leaving a trail of murder and atrocity in their wake.
The US military began bombing ISIL in August 2014 with the immediate goal of stopping them from reaching the city of Erbil and prevent them from carrying out a massacre against the Yazidi population.
Today, the coalition boasts 70 nations as well as international organisations like Nato and Interpol.
Though some alliance members are there in name only, bigger countries like Britain, France, Canada and Australia are lending a helping hand.
A state department official said some coalition members can play an increased role now that the main bombing campaign is over, including countering ISIL propaganda, sending in police trainers and providing funding.
Nicholas Heras, a fellow at the think-tank Center for a New American Security, said that ideally, "you are going to have different partners taking on many different aspects of the stabilising mission, the part that they do well."

Down but not out: ISIL will regroup and rise again
With ISIL now cleared from 98 per cent of the terrain they once held, nations like France and Australia have begun pulling some military assets – including planes and artillery – from Iraq and Syria. Pentagon has said the tapering off of bombing missions means it has more resources to fight Taliban in Afghanistan.
But the coalition is keeping an indefinite presence to help Iraqis get the support and training they need, and to protect the Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) who fought against ISIL in Syria.
"If we were to repeat the mistakes that we made when the Iraq war came to a close then we are very much likely to see a repeat of the tragedies that followed," warned Steve Warren, a retired Army colonel who was top spokesman for the coalition between 2015 and 2016.
"They need to morph into a stabilization force, there's no question."
America has about 2,000 troops in Syria and more than 5,000 in Iraq, augmented in both countries by coalition members who have provided commandos and military trainers.
But where Iraq now has a cohesive military and some degree of political stability, Syria is mired in civil war and president Bashar Al Assad is working with Russia and Iranian militias to maintain control of areas once in the hands of rebels or ISIL.
That means the United States must keep boots on the ground in Syria to protect SDF fighters. "Unless we want to cede eastern Syria to the Iranians, (the coalition) needs to be there," Warren said.
"Not necessarily the US – it's other partners who have skin in this game, which includes every country in Europe," he added, referring to the refugee crisis that has gripped the continent in part because of Syria.
Additionally, extremist groups the world over are rebranding themselves under the ISIL banner, meaning the anti-ISIL coalition will have a role beyond the Middle East, including in African nations.
Last year, four new African nations signed up to the coalition – Djibouti, Niger, Cameroon and Chad.
"Pre-existing terrorist organisations like in the Philippines, like in Bangladesh, like in the Sinai and Afghanistan, they have basically rebranded themselves and started flying the ISIS flag in order to gain attraction and resources," Mr Mattis said, using a different acronym for ISIL.
US military officials stress the fight against ISIL is not over, and warn of the jihadists in Iraq and Syria returning to a more traditional insurgency.
"Their repressive ideology continues. The conditions remain present for Daesh [Arabic acronym for the group] to return, and only through coalition and international efforts can the defeat become permanent," coalition commander Lieutenant General Paul Funk said.

I have started working with Oracle and I was recently tasked with importing a data pump export to a different schema. Once all the required roles were created and the correct REMAP_SCHEMA option was sorted out* I was left with one interesting problem. Everything remapped properly except triggers. The trigger name was remapped correctly but the target table still referenced the old schema.
I'm surprised that something this obvious would go unfixed.
Lately, I have been experimenting with different storage engines. MongoDB is interesting, especially to the developer in me, the ability to get JSON objects in one simple call is attractive. Most recently, with a little help from Tom I have setup Oracle 11g Express, simply to get a feel for how it operates.
I explored Oracle's Application Express, but being more of a command line guy, I ditched that and started poking around with SQL*Plus. After figuring out how to view tables (SELECT * FROM CAT instead of SHOW TABLES) etc, it felt much like learning a new programming language. The main concepts are similar to other RDBMS's and it ends up being more about learning the semantics than new concepts. Sure, some things are different, but if you know SQL, you can get around in Oracle - at least from a data perspective.
With little difficulty, I was able to install Oracle 11g Express, create a user, grant privileges, create tables, and insert data. I then installed php-oci8 and pulled out the data.
To become a true Oracle DBA, however, and learning how Oracle is working behind the scenes, creating clusters and other administrative tasks - that will take time and perhaps a few courses.


The input device used for games, the game controller, varies across platforms.Common controllers include gamepads, joysticks, mouse devices, keyboards, the touchscreens of mobile devices, and buttons, or even, with the Kinect sensor, a person's hands and body.In common use a "PC game" refers to a form of media that involves a player interacting with a personal computer connected to a video monitor.Personal computers are not dedicated game platforms, so there may be differences running the same game in different hardware, also the openness allows some features to developers like reduced software cost, increased flexibility, increased innovation, emulation, creation of modifications ("mods"), open hosting for online gaming (in which a person plays a video game with people who are in a different household) and others.As of 2015, video games generated sales of USD 74 billion annually worldwide, and were the third-largest segment in the U. entertainment market, behind broadcast and cable TV.Early games used interactive electronic devices with various display formats. Inspired by radar display technology, it consisted of an analog device that allowed a user to control a vector-drawn dot on the screen to simulate a missile being fired at targets, which were drawings fixed to the screen.Players typically view the game on a video screen or television or computer monitor, or sometimes on virtual reality head-mounted display goggles.
The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device, but as of the 2000s, it implies any type of display device that can produce two- or three-dimensional images.In the 1990s and 2000s, some arcade games offered players a choice of multiple games.In the 1980s, video arcades were businesses in which game players could use a number of arcade video games.Computer Space was followed in 1972 by the Magnavox Odyssey, the first home console.Modeled after a late 1960s prototype console developed by Ralph H.
The Embassy encourages that, especially you have a sponsor that will fund your trip, or if you have other documents that can help provide proof of your economical or social ties within the Philippines (example: pay slips, real estate properties, land title, etc.). Most of the Schengen member countries would need you to show that you have at least EUR 50 (Php 2,500 ) per day of your stay. Apart from the fact that it's required, it's always good practice to get travel insurance for your trip.

An Israelian tourist has sustained head injuries after being hit with a glass bottle by a young Thai man last week, allegedly over an issue of 'jealousy' in Krabi. You guessed it, over a love-interest.
Koh Phi Phi Police were notified of the tourist's injuries following last week's attack.
Police arrived at a restaurant to find an injured male tourist identified as 30 year old Dani Isrirulnikov, an Israeli national. He had sustained a head injury. He was transferred to hospital for treatment.
Local witnesses told police that the incident happened in the early morning. The suspected attacker has been identified as 24 year old Premanan Kongpoon from Phang Nga.
Mr Isrirulnikov, who was walking along the road stopped to chat with Premanan. After that they started arguing. Premana used a glass bottle and hit Mr Isrirulnikov's head. After that Premanan sped away.
Premana was jealous that Mr Isrirulnikov had talked with his girlfriend. It has not been reported what may have been said between Mr Isrirulnikov and the girl. Premanan was later arrested by Koh Phi Phi police.

Le cissexisme ou cisgenrisme est un système d'oppression qui considère que toutes les personnes sont de leur genre assigné ou de considérer que les personnes trans sont inférieures aux personnes cis.

Cissexisme
Le cissexisme est une forme d'oppression qui cible l'identité de genre et qui établit comme préférable la correspondance entre le genre et le sexe déterminé à la naissance.

Pour Julia Serano, le cissexisme désigne le refus d'accepter l'identité des personnes trans comme étant aussi légitime que celles des personnes cisgenres. Elle distingue .

Le sociologue Emmanuel Beaubatie propose également d'utiliser le terme « cissexisme » pour qualifier les discriminations transphobes. Pour lui, ce terme permet, d'un point de vue sociologique, « de montrer qu'il n'y a pas une peur irrationnelle et individuelle des personnes trans, mais des violences liées au genre, qui structurent la société dans son ensemble ».

Cisgenrisme et cisnormativité
Certaines recherches, inspirées des critiques qui ont été faites à la notion d'homophobie et son remplacement par d'autres notions, comme celle d'hétéronormativité ou d'hétérosexisme, ont critiqué la notion de transphobie pour son caractère individualiste et pathologisant, ancré dans la phobie individuelle plutôt que la dimension structurelle de l'oppression des personnes trans. Des termes comme cisnormativité et cisgenrisme servent ainsi à remplacer la notion de transphobie. Alexandre Baril écrit : .

Why It's So Hard To Cure HIV/AIDS - Janet Iwasa
In 2008, something incredible happened: a man was cured of HIV. In over 70 million HIV cases, this was a first, and, so far, a last, and we don't yet understand exactly how he was cured. But if we can cure people of various diseases, like malaria and hepatitis C, why can't we cure HIV? Janet Iwasa examines the specific traits of the HIV virus that make it so difficult to cure.

You could have a nice design, decorative swimming pool liners and add separate fencing if needed. Having a soothing area besides this, is something that requires no mention, right? With beautiful swimming pool landscaping ideas you could have a great looking space in your yard.
Saw the tiny bridges, always capturing your attention in the pictures of landscapes and backyards? Then you will want to have one in your yard? This is one of the better backyard landscaping design ideas which you will like to implement. A small bridge with solid wood fencing and huge rocks put below this is sure to capture everyone's attention. You are able to consider adding a wonderful waterfall here and use rock art or natural stone sculptures for further beautification.

It's Midi bass lines for me. My bass playing defeated me.
Discussion in 'Recording In Progress' started by burntfrijoles, Apr 14, 2018.
Studio One has a feature called Audio Bend which can quantize notes in an audio track. Your DAW probably has a similar feature which might be more accurate than nudging the entire track.
I create the backing track from ratch. First I lay down a drum track using a loop or EZ Drummer preset. Next I lay down rough rhythm guitar track using an acoustic or electric. I usually add a bass track or my own vocal track (as a guide) next. Then I redo the rhythm track. Sometimes there are multiple guitar rhythm tracks. I repeat the process until I have everything but the lead and fills. There's my backing track. I can then play whatever I want. Sometimes it's as simple as drum and bass backing track. I occasionally add a keyboard track as well.
For example I recently did a back track for David Gilmour's cover of "Don't". It was just drum and bass. Previously I created a backing track for Dire Straits' "Lady Writer". I has drum, bass and rhythm guitar.
Most of the time the backing tracks are pretty straight forward and I do fine with simple bass lines. It's the bass lines where the groove is more complicated that I find difficult.
The backing track serve only to accompany me playing the guitar.
This sounds a lot like what I enjoy doing with home recording. Creating accurate backing tracks — any way I can — then layering in multiple guitar parts played by me, to try and recreate my fav classic tracks from various bands, albeit with some variations to suit my preferences (and playing skill). It's a lot of fun.
I also try and do the bass parts myself on a real bass, and it is a challenge sometimes, but I find myself liking the bass more and more.
I would much prefer to record the bass myself. In many cases, only another musician would hear the timing issues. It's just that I would like to be better. In truth I will probably still attempt playing bass but I will not hesitate to jump to "drawing" the bass lines in midi if it improves the track.
I have a catalog of backing tracks from old issues of Guitar Techniques and Total Guitar. Some of them are excellent while others are meh. I like the challenge of creating them myself with an arrangement that suits my needs and skills.
but then it's no longer a person playing an instrument; it's no longer you making music. It's no longer anybody making music, it's just click/snip/cut/paste "let the computer do it". Why would you even bother to record it?
no offence partner but you touched a nerve. let me see if I can change your opinion... when beethoven wrote on the staff was he still a musician? answer - yes. even if he never played the part.
I think folks think of midi like 'oh you just click down notes and it plays' but I can tell you firsthand that even with top notch sound libraries... it takes some serious skill to make it sound like a human or rather NOT like a computer. The piano-roll/staff/etc is an instrument unto itself. Plus learning to write on it actually makes you a better musician. I freq find myself writing bass lines and going back to record actual bass over them and having to raise my musicianship to even come close. I freq write drum parts and have to learn how to write fills like a drummer. It has taught me how even when I thought I was in time before - there is being in time and there is being 'in the pocket'.
I almost never use loops, but I listen to bands like the chemical brothers and am in awe of what they can do. Not saying I'm great, and not saying that half of what you said isn't true when it comes to just dragging ten loops into a track and hitting play... but there is a lot of grey area in the middle.
ps, look at me! There are also some canned MIDI and audio loops in there. Some of it was done with a tracker or algorithmic music software.
That's as much effort as I put into anything for a long time, 15 or 20 years. Now it's all I can do to record a loop on my Jamman! I'm goofing around with new things but have barely gotten to recording any of it. Maybe soon!
What I really want is some software thing that could pick out the rhythm of a guitar loop that was "x" bars long and line up timing and dynamics of a MIDI drum track. But I haven't found that yet. Somebody let me know if I'm missing something.
Getting together with a bad drummer - or just the wrong drummer - isn't going to do much for your skills or inspiration. Whereas learning to program parts gives you a good idea of how everything works on its own and in the mix.
I used to do that with ReCycle back in the day. Cakewalk had a similar feature too, groove quantization based on audio loops.
Hmm, I have SONAR, and I must have tried that at some point. The example here shows beat matching of two audio loops, which might work. Seems like if I could get a rhythm framework in MIDI derived exactly from my rhythm guitar riff, it would be easier to flesh it out or see how different styles would "hang" on that framework.
The piano-roll/staff/etc is an instrument unto itself. Plus learning to write on it actually makes you a better musician.
This is very true. I can't read music but I've had to learn time notation to build my accurate bass tracks (or keyboard tracks). I've found that I can now come pretty close to drawing the correct timing on notes when I have to create the lines from scratch.
I started off using loops but have just taken matters into my own hands to make the drum tracks fit the song with fills etc.
Logic Pro drummer has an option to sync with another track that you nominate. It's very easy.
Actually that's a fine idea. Thanks. I will find a project where I am displeased with the bass (that will be easy) and see how much I can correct by using "nudge".
Have you used the beat mapping function in Logic? If not you may find it very helpful for pulling your lines into shape.
I've had much the same experience. I can predict the piano roll for 90% of my bass or drums or horns. this has made me sharper in my playing as I can see the spacing. I get a pretty good feel for velocity/accent as well. after 20 years... there's still room to improve but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I looked at some Logic Pro tutorial videos. I see that it is good at following tempo changes which is fine. What I'm more curious about is at a finer time slice - supposing I give it a 4-bar loop of rhythm guitar which is syncopated somehow and not boom boom boom on the beat. Is it going to be able to make a "square" MIDI drum part follow the feel of the guitar loop?
Probably not. I usually choose a drum pattern that fits the feel I'm looking for. I use the sync button to lock the kick drum into e.g. the bass line, but it could be done with a rhythm guitar also. But you have to start with a drum pattern that is close to the feel you want.
I'm a good bass player but in home recordings I often have trouble with latency. I find that taking steps to reduce latency helps--for example, eliminate any time based or CPU intensive effects.
I use studio one and was just learning about this exact thing, fixing timing issues with tracks without losing the feel or natural vibe. It's a fairly simple process and would imagine as others have stated that it's similar in other daws.
I just have to take the time to walk through the process with "youtube" and get the commands under my fingers.
Last night I was just looking at mini midi controllers - akai & alesis - so I could use the resident drum and other sounds in studio one. I always looked at midi as a imenatrable, shrouded mystery - after some research looks pretty straight forward and could be a lot of fun!
At least the looper lets me capture an idea, but looking for a loop or pattern (especially the more you have, and I have a lot) kills my creative flow big time. Then you think about playing with a real drummer (if they are any good)... you say "play along with this"... and they do.
Take some lessons. As a guitar player you probably know where the notes are but not how to play them.
When I do demos I'll do the real drums and bass myself. It's much faster and the results are usually much better.
I'm almost 60, so taking drum lessons, while a great idea, is something I have to file under "probably not gonna happen" (assuming that's what you meant). And it isn't because I'm old and feeble and can't get up (yet). It's because my plate is so incredibly full with both responsibilities and creative pursuits that in order to make progress in any one area I have to give up other things (such as converting old tube amps to guitar amps, something I thought I'd pursue about 5 years ago before I became a DSP weenie). Making home demos that sound like a band playing real music is a goal that's starting to fade into the distance.
I'm just surprised that there isn't much in the way of software assistance because I'd think that a lot of guitar players would want the same thing: "find a MIDI drum pattern or loop out of the thousands I have that mostly fits the feel of this reference audio loop". I tried "Audio Snap" in SONAR, don't remember getting much of anywhere with it, and when I checked the SONAR forums on the subject, it seems like a lot of effort to do even that. Before I had kids I was able to spend 3 or 4 hours a night chipping away at my crazy DAW creations.
I was more talking about a few bass lessons, not a full course of study. Sitting down with a bass instructor a few times can help someone as a guitar player approach the instrument more as a bass player.

Sometimes when you sit in the comfort zone and watch a movie, you see the celebrities smiling before the cameras and granting interviews, one will never recognize or appreciate the efforts put in by them. They all deserve the praise.
A whole lot goes into a successful movie and what goes on behind the scenes are very important. From what the actors and actresses eat and drink, where they sleep, where they change their costumes etc.
But on this fateful day, our focus is on the disdainful scene we came across on the Venus Films set at the A&C Shopping Mall at East Legon, where two known stars-Jackie Appiah and Adjetey Annan were caught using the car park as their own changing room.
For Adjetey Annan who didn't see anything wrong said it was "Asaba style" as called in Nigeria. He went on to justify his act that such occurs everywhere in the world.
For Jackie Appiah who recently emerged as the best actress at the Africa Magic Viewer's Awards choice in Lagos did not condescend too low as a woman but tried to maintain a little bit of privacy by changing in the car.
Imagine the stress and humiliation these two had to pass through all because Venus Films couldn't provide a common mobile truck which could house the bathrooms, changing rooms, and also double as offices for crew members.
A lot more needs to be done to help our movie industry behave professionally because it is not wise to premier a movie at the Silverbird cinemas, creating the impression that it was of high standard when the actors were totally ridiculed on set.
Jackie Appiah & Adjetey Annan ridiculed on set 0 out of 5 based on 0 ratings. 0 user reviews.

Q: Xcode4 "Build Finished" HUD I'm searching for a library which implements something like Xcode 4's HUD which displays when a build is finished and such things.
Can someone give me a link or some hints how to implement it?
To clarify it, I'm searching for something like MBProgressHUD
Please don't suggest Growl, it's not appropriate for my utilisation.

To clarify it: I'm searching for a Mac OS X (Cocoa/Quartz) library, not for iOS.

A: I don't know of any libraries, but it would be fairly straightforward to do it yourself. Create a borderless, non-opaque, floating window and set your own custom NSView subclass as its content view.
You can then use Cocoa's excellent drawing classes to draw the thing. For example [NSBezierPath bezierPathWithRoundedRect] will make a rounded rectangle very easily, then you can fill it with a transparent grey and composite some text and an image with shadows  and so on, in a few lines of code.
It's a bit of work, but maybe not as much as you might think.

A: ATMHud may fit your needs (source).

Bankers Capital International has developed a Business Continuity Plan on how we will respond to events that significantly disrupt our business. Since the timing and impact of disasters and disruptions are unpredictable, we will have to be flexible in responding to actual events as they occur. With that in mind, we are providing you with this information on our business continuity plan.
If after a significant business disruption you cannot contact us as you usually do by phone at 212-298-3500, you should contact the entities in which you have invested directly for instructions on how you may access investment information, invest additional funds and or provide you with prompt access to funds and securities.
We plan to quickly recover and resume business operations after a significant business disruption and respond by safeguarding our employees and property, making a financial and operational assessment and protecting the Firm's books and records. In short, our business continuity plan is designed to permit our Firm to resume operations as quickly as possible, given the scope and severity of the significant business disruption.
Our business continuity plan addresses: data back up and recovery; all mission critical systems; financial and operational assessments; alternative communications with customers, employees, and regulators; alternate physical location of employees; critical supplier, contractor, bank and counter-party impact; regulatory reporting; and assuring our customers prompt access to their investments if we are unable to continue our business.
Since you invest directly, the entities in which you have invested are responsible for those records they maintain on your behalf. Additionally, when you invest with our assistance, we take steps to assure that you have paper or electronic copies of everything that you have signed and or obligated your self to, which results in your having access to essentially the same records as us, should you be unable to contact us during an emergency situation. Finally, while most transactions done through us are not time sensitive, every emergency situation poses unique problems based on external factors, such as time of day and the severity of the disruption. Thus, while each entity with which you have invested desires to restore its own operations and be able to complete existing transactions and accept new transactions and payments within a short period of time, your orders and requests for funds and securities could be delayed during this period.
Significant business disruptions can vary in their scope, such as only our firm, a single building housing our firm, the business district where our firm is located, the city where we are located, or the whole region. Within each of these areas, the severity of the disruption can also vary from minimal to severe. In a disruption to only our firm or a building housing our firm, we will transfer our operations to a local site when needed and expect to recover and resume business within four hours. In a disruption affecting our business district, city, or region, we will transfer our operations to a site outside of the affected area, and recover and resume business within one business day. If the significant business disruption is so severe that it prevents us from remaining in business, we will assure our customer's prompt interface with the respective companies and entities that have provided investment products to you, through us.
If you have questions about our business continuity planning, you can contact us at 212-298-3500.
This plan is subject to modification, an updated summary will be promptly posted on our Web site and customers may alternatively obtain updated summaries by requesting a written copy by mail.

Guilderland denies chicken request
by John Purcell
Neighbors won the battle in one man's request to keep chickens, but the war of backyard pet politics is not yet over in the town.
The Guilderland Zoning Board of Appeals on Wednesday, May 21, denied Dale Owen's request to keep chickens behind his family's house on Mohawk Drive. Board members voted 2 (yes) to 1 (no) on the request for interpretation allowing Owen to keep laying hens. Since there were only three voting members, Owen needed unanimous support for approval.
Owen said he was "a little surprised" his request was denied. When asked, he admitted "a little part" of him wished he had just built the coop without going before the board. Although he said he would never consider taking that approach.
"I don't think my neighbors are mad at me, but I think they would be in that case," he said. "That never crossed my mind."
Several neighbors had spoken out against the request, fearing negatives outcomes could result. Residents not in Owen's neighbor had expressed support for his request and chickens being allowed in residential neighborhoods townwide.
Zoning Board Chairman Peter Barber previously recused himself from discussions and casting a vote on the application because he lives in Owen's neighborhood. This left Owen needing three of the four remaining members to vote in favor.
Owen's application had been scheduled for the May 21 meeting because the remaining board members said they would be able to attend, but one member, Sharon Cupoli, was absent on the day of the vote.
Spotlight News was not immediately able to find out why she wasn't at the meeting. Board member Thomas Remmert, who acted as chairman for the application, said after the meeting he was not aware Cupoli would be absent. Barber, near the end of the meeting, indicated he also was surprised Cupoli was absent.
Board member Sindi Saita voted against Owen's request. Saita said the neighbors' strong opposition led to her decision.
"There was such strong support of neighbors, six out of eight, who said they did not want that exposure," Saita said. "I sat through the neighbors across the street and next door saying, 'We are not happy.' They didn't want the noise; they didn't want the smell; … they didn't want everything that comes along with it."
Saita said she lives in a "planned urban development" that does not allow chickens, which was a part of the reason she chose it.
Saita started serving on the board in January so she had not voted on the two prior backyard chicken requests, which the board approved. Both of those requests though enjoyed wide support from surrounding neighbors.
Guilderland town code does not explicitly allow or disallow the keeping of chickens, so zoning board members review requests on a case-by-case basis.
Another difference between Owen's request and the two previously approved, was that in the earlier cases, the chickens were already on the property.
"I think what got lost in all of this is that … everyone was on the same side of the fence," Owen said. "We are all kind of in agreement of what we didn't want."
He said he didn't want to smell chicken feces, hear lots of noise or not properly care for the chickens.
"They didn't want the chance it may not shake out that way," he said.
Owen's only hope to keep chickens on his property is for the Town Board to approve changes to the zoning code.
Town Code revisions are ongoing through the Zoning Review Committee, with its members unanimously in support of allowing chickens into the zoning code. The change would allow up to six chickens on residential zoned land and outline a set of conditions.
Remmert said the Town Board could take up proposed Town Code revisions in June or July, but the process could likely last several months before any changes were approved.

"She'll Be A Credit To The Crown": Kate Middleton Wins Hearts As She Interacts With The Public
Kate Middleton was out and about during the recent Leicester City walkabout, and while paying her respects to the club's owner, Kate won over the public with her charm.
Kate fascinated the public as she shook hands, exchanged simple greetings, and engaged in pleasant conversations with everyone in attendance. Her conduct at the walkabout ignited cheery talks that she is a credit to the crown, as she is extraordinary, delightful and a wonderful Queen-to-be.

Kate, who is currently the Duchess of Cambridge is on track to become Queen Catherine in the line of succession when her husband Prince William becomes King. While the possibilities of her becoming the Queen are still far-fetched at this point, it appears that the Duchess is set on winning the hearts of Britons with her charisma.
"She'll be a credit to the Crown!"
For people who saw pictures and videos of Kate interacting with the public, her natural charm was delightful and it was easy to see that she is indeed, a credit to the crown.
Kate at today's @LCFC walkabout pic.twitter.com/dtf1oQusJ7
— Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) November 28, 2018
Some people noticed that Kate was very natural in her demeanor, a fact that showed her inborn charm, a distinguishing characteristic that is not associated with most reserved royals.
I love how natural and relaxed Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge always sees and is when she's interacting with the public in the walkabouts. pic.twitter.com/BnRUVOVl48
— Isa (@Isaguortiz) November 28, 2018
To others, Kate's demeanor was simply heartwarming as she brought sunshine despite the day's somber mood and cold weather.
Leaves a smile on my face and makes my heart warm with love!
— Harini Chandrashekar (@c_harini) November 28, 2018
What about Meghan Markle?
Well, seeing Kate Middleton wholeheartedly embrace her role as the future Queen had others theorizing where all this leaves Meghan, whose husband, Prince Harry, is sixth in the line of succession.
For Meghan, whose chances of ever becoming the Queen are slim and just a far-fetched dream, to say the least, an ascension to the throne could introduce many changes to the royal household.
If Meghan is the Queen, the public will surely see more interviews, changes in fashion, and probably even more handshakes, since, just like Kate, she's very interactive with the public.
Nevertheless, the Duchess of Sussex is very happy in her current title and is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first child with her lovely Prince charming.

W Series liveries unveiled ahead of final driver test
The W Series has unveiled the liveries it will use during its first season of competition ahead of the final driver selection test this weekend.
The series will be holding an "intense" four-day test at Spain's Circuito De Almeria starting on March 23, which will see the new 2019-spec Tatuus T-318 race car making its debut.
The cars feature five different liveries which include five separate "extrovert" colours in yellow, white, purple, black and red.
"Each combination allows space for prominent positioning of the driver's name and national flag, as well as her own race number, as specifically chosen by each driver, once the final grid has been finalised."
28 drivers will be taking part in this weekend's test where only 18 will be selected to take part in the all-female racing series, which will support the DTM series at six rounds in 2019, starting with Hockenheim in May.
The champion takes home a $500,000 prize fund, with another $1m in prizes up for grabs.
Speaking about the final test, W Series Racing Director, Dave Ryan, said: "It'll be much more of a race-focused programme than before.
"Obviously we'll be recording lap-times, and the drivers' pace will be important, but we'll also be looking at their rate of improvement throughout the test, and the ability of each driver to work technically and productively with engineers and mechanics, in addition to their stamina and consistency over longer runs."

Abstract: Word Embeddings are able to capture lexico-semantic information but remain flawed in their inability to assign unique representations to different senses of a polysemous words. They also fail to include information from well curated semantic lexicons and dictionaries. Previous approaches that integrate polysemy and knowledge bases fall distinctly under two categories - retrofitting vectors to ontologies or learning from sense tagged corpora. While these embeddings are superior in understanding contextual similarity, they are outperformed by single prototype word vectors on several relatedness tasks. In this work, we introduce a new approach that can induce polysemy to any pre-trained embedding space by jointly grounding contextualized sense representations with word embeddings to an ontology and a thesaurus. Along with word sense induction, the resulting representations reduces the effect of vocabulary bias that arises in natural language corpora and in turn embedding spaces. By grounding them to knowledge bases they are able to learn multi-word representations and are also interpretable. We evaluate our vectors across 12 datasets on several similarity and relatedness tasks along with two extrinsic tasks and find that our approach consistently outperforms current state of the art.

Studies have shown that conservative bloggers cite other conservative blogs and include links to them in their blog rolls; liberal bloggers likewise segregate their references and citations. This point Cass Sunstein makes in Infotopia: How Many Minds Produce Knowledge (Oxford 2006) at 190.
A test of this proposition would be the set of blogs I have identified as written by current or former in-house counsel on law department operations (See my post of Jan. 28, 2009: law department management blawgs with 11 references; May 16, 2011: blawgs by in-house lawyers past or present with 16 references.).
If someone assembled all the blog rolls of the site and counted them, it would probably show a core of blogs that frequently cite and link to each other as well as a long tail of infrequent sites.

Az üldözött királypárti (eredeti címe The Proscribed Royalist, 1651) a brit Sir John Everett Millais festménye, amelyet 1853-ban festett.

A kép egy fiatal puritán nőt ábrázol, aki az 1651-ben vívott worcesteri csata után menekülő, királypárti nőt próbál elrejteni. A csata során II. Károly angol király vereséget szenvedett az Oliver Cromwell vezetése alatt harcoló köztársaságpárti seregtől.

A királypárti egy tölgyfa üreges törzsében próbál elbújni, ami szintén utalás történelmi eseményekre: a vesztes csata után II. Károly maga is egy fa törzsében elbújva próbált menekülni üldözői elől a csata után.

Millais a képet a kenti Hayes-ben festette, ahol a helyszínen található tölgyet a helyiek elnevezték "Millais Oak"-nak.

A női alak modellje Anne Ryan volt, míg az üldözött királypártit figurához a preraffaelita festő, Arthur Hughes állt modellt. A festményt Lewis Pocock (az Art Union tiszteletbeli titkára) rendelte meg Millais-től.

William John Sutton (19 January 1859 – 9 May 1914) was a timberman, geologist, mineralogist, assayer, surveyor, lecturer, explorer, pioneer and promoter of Vancouver Island, British Columbia and stood twice in B.C. elections.

Biography
Sutton was born in Kincardine, Ontario, and was the first of six children born to William Sutton (1828-1893) and Sarah Keyworth (1834-1905); his father emigrated from Dent, Cumbria in 1850 and his mother from Tuxford, Nottinghamshire in 1852. At the age of 33 years Sutton married Helen Annie Fox (1852-1932) who was born in Sheffield and ran the family cutlery store in Victoria. They did not have children.

Education
Sutton attended public schools in Kincardine and Walkerton followed by a year at Trinity College School, Port Hope, Ontario (1873-1874).  He then went to Sibley College of Mechanical Arts, Cornell (1874-1876)] but dropped out after completing two years to take a short business course at Hamilton Business College before attending the Columbia School of Mines (1876-1877). In 1895 he took a special course in chemistry, mineralogy, petrography and geology, at the Michigan School of Mines, following which he became assistant teacher helping various professors in metallurgy, assaying, biology, zoology, palaeontology, mineralogy, crystallography, petrology, lithology and geology. Alongside his teaching he completed his degree with a 54-page thesis entitled Geology of Penokee-Gogebic Iron Bearing District in 1898 and was awarded an E.M. (Mining Engineer) degree.

Timberman
At the age of 18 years he set up an assaying business in Victoria, Vancouver Island but was forced to close it due to lack of interest and joined his father's lumber business.  His father was the first to obtain a timber licence from the government for 7,070 acres of land at Cowichan Lake. He built a sawmill at Snug Creek, Mahoney's Bay (now Genoa Bay). William John, known to his family as Will, ran his father's lumber business for ten years whilst his father was sheriff of Bruce County, Ontario.

Political ambitions
Sutton stood in two elections for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. His first attempt was in 1887 after the death of Premier William Smithe when he stood for Cowichan but was narrowly beaten by Henry Fry. The second attempt was in 1894 when he stood for Cowichan and Alberni but was again narrowly defeated by Major J.M. Mutter.

Government assayer
After tragedy struck the Sutton family when his cousin Alfred was accidentally shot, the sawmill was closed down and Will was appointed Government Assayer (1887-1889).  A report he submitted to the Minister of Mines in 1888 includes a list of 35 examples of economic minerals found in the Province. An article in The Colonist describes his work as Government Assayer. Will was forced to resign to sort out his father's lumber business but under his management the assay office "had been converted to a model of its kind." Shortly after leaving his post he facilitated the sale of the family lumber business.

Phrenology and grave robbing
William John and his brother James Edward, were both keen phrenologists and had given several lectures in Victoria on the topic. In connection with phrenology they both began robbing the graves of First Nation people on Vancouver Island to sell the skulls to the American phrenology market. On hearing about their collection of 75 skulls Franz Boas, the 'father of American anthropology' bought the collection. Boas employed the Sutton brothers to collect more. Altogether the Sutton brothers provided Boas with about 200 skulls and skeletons. Boas used the skulls from the Northwest Coast to challenge the scientific idea of a 'pure race.' Franz Boas then sold the remains to Rudolph Virchow's Pathological Museum in Berlin and the Field Columbian Museum in Chicago.

Sutton Lumber and Trading Company
The Sutton Lumber and Trading Company Limited was incorporated in 1893 with $100,000 and William, William John and James Edward Sutton were the first trustees. They acquired 2,500 acres of timber land in the Clayoqout District and West Coast of Vancouver Island, some of which were Crown granted and some held under timber leases from the Crown. William John and James Edward were amongst the first white settlers in Ucluelet where they built the first general store and sawmill. The company was eventually sold to W. H. and A. F. McEwan of Seattle, the principals in the Seattle Cedar Lumber Manufacturing Company. Sutton continued to own and manage the Ucluelet Mercantile Company Sawmill until his death.

Geologist for James Dunsmuir
On his return to Victoria in 1900 Sutton took up the post of geologist for the coal and rail baron James Dunsmuir. In this position he worked for both the Wellington Colliery Company and the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway as well as being James Dunsmuir's personal geologist and in this role he travelled around British Columbia and further afield looking for opportunities to expand the Dunsmuir empire.

Sutton surveyed and geologically mapped much of Vancouver Island as the Wellington Colliery Company owned the coal rights under a large portion of the Island. As part of the Canadian Geological Survey, Sutton surveyed the central part of the eastern coast of Vancouver Island in July 1909. He remained with the Company when they were taken over by Canadian Pacific Railway until his death in 1914, from a heart attack, whilst running a survey line for a road being constructed in Ucluelet.

Treasure Island
Sutton gave several public lectures on the natural wealth of Vancouver Island, including delivering a paper, The Geology and Mining of Vancouver Island, to the Geological Society in Manchester in 1903. He became a leader in the movement to promote the Island to the rest of the world and was instrumental in the establishment of the Vancouver Island Development League being elected to first vice-president of the Victoria branch of the League in 1911 and 1912.

Forest preservation
William John Sutton was one of the first to advocate preservation of the forests in British Columbia.  He gave evidence to several government commissions (1905, 1909) and in 1910 published, as a member of the Natural History Society, a booklet, Our Timber and its Conservation, in which he described 18 commercial species of forest trees. He argued that timber resources in British Columbia were comparatively limited and was critical of current government practice in regard to land leases and taxes. He recommended the government establish a forestry commission identifying key areas for research. He used his booklet to submit evidence to the Fulton Royal Commission on Timber and Forestry and some of his recommendations were accepted by the government. He gave further evidence to an Assessment and Taxation Commission in 1911 as well as to the Forestry and Conservation Convention in Vancouver in January 1914.

Strathcona Park
As a member of the British Columbia Board of Trade, the Natural History Society and the Vancouver Island Development League, Sutton played an important role in helping to facilitate the establishment of Strathcona Provincial Park.

Respected scientist
In his final years Sutton became a powerful person in British Columbia.  He was Chairman of the Western Branch of the Canadian Mining Institute and vice-president of the Canadian Mining Institute (1914); as well as being a Fellow of the Royal Geological Society of London. He sat on the Board of Trade, and had been president of the Natural History Society (1912). He campaigned for a well-equipped seismological station at Victoria (a new Meteorological Station was built at Gonzales Height, Victoria in 1916) and was also a founding member of the Royal Astronomical Society in Victoria, being a member of the executive committee and instrumental in forming the Centre in Victoria.

Pacific Museum of Earth, Vancouver
Sutton is credited with identifying 35 notable occurrences of minerals in Canada, see A List of Canadian Mineral Occurrences, Robert A.A. Johnson, 1915. His unique collection of minerals and fossils was one of the founding collections of the Geology Museum of the University of British Columbia at the Beaty Biodiversity Museum and is on show at the Pacific Museum of Earth, Vancouver.

Name lives on
William John Sutton's influence on Vancouver Island is visible in the places named after him, such as Sutton Pass, Sutton Boulders, Lost Shoe Creek and Sutton Rock; as well as the Sutton Limestones.

Photograph album
His wife, Helen Annie, outlived Sutton by 18 years; she compiled an album of some of his photographs which her sister presented to the archive at the Royal British Columbia Museum in 1933. There are 57 photographs including geological features, First Nation villages, Cowichan Lake and river; and several 'ghost' towns on mainland British Columbia.

Family legend
William John Sutton was well known in his lifetime, but has since been forgotten. He comes from a line of legendary Suttons.  His father William Sutton built the first grist mill in Kincardine, Ontario and became the first sheriff of Bruce County only to be sacked after 25 years. It has been suggested his grandfather, Richard Sutton, was a role model for Emily Brontë's Heathcliff.
