Sketches of quartier Blanqui in Tours.
by Myfrenchkitchen.In architecture, pen, pencil, sketchbook, statues, travel, watercolour.12 Comments on Sketches of quartier Blanqui in Tours.
I went into Tours today with a very low level of energy, trying to snap out of it. I succeeded in getting four sketches done, albeit a bit crooked. Even made a mistake in the spelling of "boutique", didn't really finish sketching rue avisseau and abandonned the lovely old church halfway…next time.
Blanqui is a tiny quartier, very quant, with only a boulangerie and poissonerie, a small family restaurant, a bar for café et journal, a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a market and old houses, which are mostly now appartements.
…la boutique de mon pére..
All sketches done in sketchbook with pencil, pen and watercolour.
Even low energy your artist spirit inspires, Ronell. I particularly love the boutique and the little statue of mother and child beside your lovely curly iron work.
I agree with Robyn about "low energy"!! Lovely sketches.
I particularly like the last one – perhaps the topic best suited your mood?
Even when you're tired your sketches vibrate with energy – I think it's the way you master the light. The colors are fabulous, and I love seeing them all tilted a little sideways – just adds to the humanity.
Why you dont show your sketchbook in the fool format instead of show just the detail? I think its more interesting, here and there, to show the all page of the book.
Lovely, Ronell! These really convey the atmosphere of a sunny day in Tours.
I agree with everyone else, Ronell—these are wonderful. I do know how you feel, though. Those low energy periods are inevitable, but frustrating. In this group, I especially like the wet on wet roof of rue Avisseau. The purples and reds in boutique de mon pere are gorgeous, too!
i'm very glade to discover my house by your sketch. efectively, i live at 32 rue Blanqui with the out stairs.

Heritage storylines
Dyer's madder and kilns
Stories Zeeuwse Ankers
You can hardly see it in the fields nowadays, but dyer's madder was once one of the most important (and most profitable) crops in Zeeland. Many villages had their own mill for processing dyer's madder. Dyer's madder was processed into red dye and the best dyer's madder… well, that came from Zeeland! Textiles (and therefore clothing) in the whole of Northwest Europe were given a gorgeous red colour with the help of dyer's madder from Zeeland.
The rise of the cultivation of dyer's madder
Madder yielded a lot of profit, however, growing and processing it was not such a straightforward process. It was already cultivated in the Middle Ages, but it was not until the seventeenth century, when grain prices plummeted, that there was a massive switch to the cultivation of dyer's madder. Especially farmers on Schouwen-Duiveland and Tholen dedicated themselves to the cultivation of dyer's madder, but the crop was also grown on the Bevelanden and in Het Land van Hulst.
Drawing of the madder plant with roots.
What made the cultivation of dyer's madder so challenging was that it required a lot of labour, capital and time. The plants had to be planted by hand, one by one ¬– a lot of manual labour was needed. They also had to grow for two to three years before they could be harvested, during which time they had to be properly and intensively cared for. Harvesting was hard work and also needed lots of people. The roots contain the source of the red dye and are sometimes 70 centimetres deep. This did not make digging them out (harvesting) any easier. Farmers who wanted to start growing dyer's madder had to make a large capital investment and wait a long time before the crop would yield any money. And just how much money that would be was not known at the time of planting. After all, the price rates could fluctuate a lot over several years.
Specialist processing
The cultivation of dyer's madder was already an intensive process, but the same was also true when it came to the processing of the madder roots. Specialist workers also turned up for this task. People from Tholen, and especially from Sint-Annaland, were renowned for their expertise.
Meestoof Willem III in Noordgouwe was built in 1863 (ZB, Beeldbank Zeeland, photo W. Helm, 1998).
Drying and processing in a kiln
The roots first had to dry in the sun and wind. Then they were taken to the kiln. Each village had its own kiln on Tholen. There were more than thirty on Schouwen-Duiveland in 1870. In the kiln,' they were first stored in the 'cold kiln'. This is where the dyer's madder lay until it could be processed further. Processing really started as soon as the dyer's madder went to the 'warm kiln', a kind of drying tower with four attics. A fire was lit underneath. New madder was moved to the upper floor in baskets. A day later, the madder was then transferred in a basket to a lower floor, until it reached the threshing floor. There, the madder was threshed by workers with threshers. The roots were then passed through a sieve. The shorter pieces were placed in barrels. The rest was spread out on a cloth on top of the eest or ast (a narrow, metre-long horizontal kiln) and dried out further. After that, the dyer's madder was pounded or ground into powder and sifted again. The powder was stored in large barrels and then the raw material was ready for transport.
More information about the cultivation and processing of dyer's madder can be found in this PDF with a detailed description of the processing by Jan Zwemer, or in this short video from the Canon of Zeeland.
Assessing the dyer's madder, painting by an anonymous artist, 1764 (Zeeuws Museum, KZGW).
Not all processed madder was of the same quality. The finest, light yellow powder was the best and the most expensive. The dark red powder was not as good in terms of quality. A thorough valuation procedure was involved. In Zierikzee, for example, the dyer's madder was inspected on the scales of the town hall. You can still see exactly how this was done in the Stadhuismuseum Zierikzee.
End of the cultivation of dyer's madder
Early in the 19th century, the cultivation of dyer's madder came under pressure when garancine was invented, an improved madder preparation. At that time, dyer's madder and garancine factories also started to appear in Zeeland. These caused a great deal of hindrance because of the smell of rotten eggs that they gave off and all of the waste that they discharged. This pollution did not last long, because in the same century, a cheap synthetic dye was invented which replaced dyer's madder. Incidentally, dyer's madder is gaining in popularity again nowadays. Clothes designers, who like to work with natural dyes, have given the cultivation of the plant a new lease on life and attempts are once again being made to grow it.

Not many kilns have survived, but in Kapelle, on the Ooststraat, you can still find Meestoof De Nijverheid. When this kiln was built, the heyday of the dyer's madder industry was already over. The madder kiln was therefore not used for processing madder for a very long time. The building served multiple purposes. It was used to store coal, and there was a basket-making shop. It became a national monument in 1966 and is now used as a residential home and office.
Meestoof De Kapel
Just outside of Zierikzee is another old kiln. The village of Capelle that once stood here was washed away by the waves during the 1953 flood disaster, although the factory was spared. Meestoof De Kapel was set up by a number of wealthy gentlemen in the early 19th century and rebuilt after a fire in that same century. When the market for dyer's madder collapsed, the building was still used for processing chicory. This substitute for coffee was particularly popular during the Second World War.

Half a century ago the first victim of mercury poisoning was found: this was Minamata disease, Japan's most serious pollution-related illness in the postwar period. Today, Minamata City in southern Japan, once stigmatized by the disease, is one of the most environment-conscious cities in the world. In a full-fledged effort to build a city founded on environmental protection and not to forget the lessons learned from Minamata disease, the city has promoted a "Minamata Environment Regeneration Project" since 1990. In 1992 it also declared its intention to become a model environmental city, creating the "Minamata Environment Award," for recognizing people who have created eco-friendly and health-conscious products as "Environment Masters."
After several rounds of civil lawsuits, the issue of legal responsibility for Minamata disease was finally resolved about half a century after its discovery in 2004, when the Japanese Supreme Court ruled that the national government and Kumamoto Prefecture were jointly responsible for the cause and spread of Minamata disease. However, many problems, such as care for aging patients, still remain. The city will hold a memorial ceremony and various other programs in order to re-examine the issue from several perspectives, including memorials, lessons, community welfare, and promoting "moyai," a local term for cooperation meaning "tying boats together."
Minamata disease, once widespread around Minamata Bay, is counted among the most notorious pollution-caused diseases. It is a neurological disease caused by ingesting toxic methyl mercury, which was contained in wastewater discharged from a local chemical corporation into the Yatsushiro Sea, an inland sea. This chemical accumulates and becomes concentrated up the food chain, in fish and ultimately in humans who ate fish daily. The first patient was reported in 1956, and the disease was officially certified as a pollution-related disease by the government in 1964. As of February 2002, 2,265 victims of the disease had been officially certified under the Law Concerning Pollution-Related Health Damage Compensation and Other Measures.

But what she learned was much more valuable; She had potential, and was now determined to turn her life around!
Wellington soon learned that she was good at network marketing, a type of business opportunity that is very popular with people looking for part-time, flexible businesses, and giving people an opportunity to run their own business.
She then joined Total Life Changes, and started restoring peoples' lives. She has been on a quest to out hustle every network marketer in the business, and the results are in.

John Miller was a kind and generous patron to many good causes, frequently supporting museums, churches and schools by the donation of paintings that could be auctioned, raffled or sold on behalf of the relevant mission. Taking an essentially religious perspective on life, John played a significant pastoral role in Anglican activities in Cornwall in later years.
Arriving in Cornwall in the 1950s with his long-time friend, colleague and partner Michael Truscott, John's architectural skills were immediately put to use in the re-design and adaptations made to the Newlyn Art Gallery. His style in painting changed dramatically over time, from early figurative landscapes of great beauty and detail to later abstract sea and landscapes of vivid blocks of colour depicting the horizon where the sea meets the sky.
An extensive collection of his work was donated by his estate, after his death in 2002, to be housed in the Sunrise Centre at Royal Cornwall Hospital, Truro, 15 of which are illustrated in the Public Foundation Catalogue review of work by artists held in public collections (pp165-7). All of the illustrated works are untitled and represent his style in later life.
John was a lay canon at Truro Cathedral, and the creator of the large mural painting there: Cornubia-Land of the Saints.
His work was extremely popular, and he had many imitators. It was not unusual to find a John Miller seascape on the back wall of a soap show such as Coronation Street, or a china mug at a local coffee shop.

Father's Fields
Father's Fields" is a country song that evokes the struggles and heartbreak of the present generation breaking away from the family traditions and hardships of farm life.
The original idea is Dan's, from memories of his own childhood growing up in what was then a rural part of New Jersey, the "Garden State". This song is one of Dan's personal favorites.
The original lyrics and music were written around 1995 by Al Curving and Dan Laurie, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in 1998 as part of the album "Slices of Life in Story 'N Song – Vol. 3" and revised in 2009 to this version.


DYLAN SELLERS (Producer) was born in Los Angeles, studying first at the University of California at Berkeley, and then Hastings Law School, graduating with honors from both. He became a successful entertainment attorney at the firm of O'Melveny & Myers, but decided that it would be more fun to work in films rather than just legally represent them.
Sellers joined Touchstone Pictures as a Creative Executive in 1987 and ascended to the position of Vice President, Production, at Simpson/Bruckheimer Productions in 1988, and then President of Lee Rich Productions in 1991. In 1993 Sellers joined Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation as Executive Vice President, Production, overseeing such films as "Kiss of Death," "The Edge," "The Crucible," "Nine Months" and the smash hit comedy "There's Something About Mary."
In 1996, he decided to take a hiatus from the industry and spent a year traveling throughout Southeast and Western Asia, including five months in India.
Sellers has served as producer on such projects as Walt Disney Television's "You Ruined My Life" and the features "The Great Panda Adventure," "Big Bully," "The Paper," "Passenger 57" and "Out to Sea." Sellers makes his home in Los Angeles with wife Wendie Margolis and their five-year-old daughter, Natalie.

Former executives at Valeant and Philidor found guilty in multimillion-dollar kickback scheme
by Eric Palmer |
A former Valeant executive and a former executive of its mail order division Philidor were found guilty of defrauding the drugmaker out of millions of dollars. (Valeant)
A jury in New York on Tuesday found a former executive of mail order pharmacy Philidor Rx Services and a former Valeant Pharmaceuticals executive guilty of defrauding the drugmaker in a multimillion-dollar scheme, for once putting the New Jersey drug company in the unusual role of a victim of dirty dealings.
Gary Tanner, a former senior director at Valeant, and Andrew Davenport, the former head of the now-defunct Philidor, were convicted of fraud and conspiracy, Reuters reported.
Attorneys for the men told Reuters they would appeal.
Valeant has often found itself defending its sales and pricing tactics to investigators and congressmen. In fact, the once-high-flying Valeant ran into scrutiny in the fall of 2015 after short seller Citron Research detailed the drugmaker's relationship to Philidor. But during the two-week-long trial, federal prosecutors painted Valeant as the victim of a fraud.
RELATED: Feds hit former Valeant, Philidor execs with multimillion-dollar fraud and kickback charges
They presented evidence showing that Valent's Tanner passed inside information to Davenport to inflate Philidor's business as the drugmaker's primary pharmacy partner. For his role, Davenport kicked back $9.7 million to Tanner when Valeant decided to buy Philidor. Davenport reaped $40 million for himself.
Philidor is now shut down and Valeant is working to move past its problems. Part of that effort involves changing its name in July to Bausch Health Companies, leaning on the goodwill of its Bausch & Lomb contact opticals business.

All players at this level must be in the given grade range during the current school year. It is recommended that when multiple teams exist within a program, the program should consider physical size, skill, and maturity when organizing teams.
All players will be assigned to a team based on their grade level. The Board may, at its discretion, and based on individual circumstance allow players 3/4 level thorugh grade eight to "play up." Per NSYL rule 4.2.5. This requires parental consent, approval from the Coach based on skill level, and Board approval prior to the start of the season. "Playing up" in this context means fully joining (for practices and games) the team above their level.
As our program grows at all levels, youth coaches may occasionally need players from the grade just below their level to join their team for a game. For example, a grade 5/6 coach may need a 4th grader to join his team for a game due to low numbers. The 5/6 coach in this example would communicate with the coach of the grade 3/4 team to identify players that they both feel could play safely and competitively at the higher level. The 3/4 coach would then talk to the parents of the player and secure their permission.
Per Washington High School Boys Lacrosse Association (WHSBLA), no 8th grade boys are allowed to play up at the high school level for any reason.
Per North Sound Youth Lacrosse (NSYL) league rules, only players one grade below a given level are allowed to play at that level (ex. – a 6th grader could play in a 7/8 game, but not a 5th grader).

Maldives accuses MEA of 'distorting facts' after India expresses 'dismay' at extension of emergency
India has said that it was dismayed that the Maldives government has extended emergency for 30 more days.
Maldivian president Yameen Abdul Gayoom | &nbspPhoto Credit:&nbspIndiatimes
Male: In a scathing statement, the government of Maldives on Thursday slammed India for 'distorting' facts regarding the political crisis in the country after the Ministry of External Affairs said that it was 'dismayed' that the Maldivian Parliament accepted President Abdulla Yameen's recommendation to extend the state of emergency in the country.
"The government of Maldives takes note of public statements issued by Government of India that ignore the facts and ground realities with regard to the ongoing political developments in the Maldives," the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Maldives said.
"The assertion by the government of India that the extension of the State of Emergency by the People's Majlis was unconstitutional is a clear distortion of facts, which ignore the Constitution and Laws of the Maldives," the statement added.
India expresses 'deep dismay' over extension of emergency in Maldives
Addressing the media on Thursday, spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs in India, Raveesh Kumar had stated that it is India's sincere desire that the situation in Maldives returns to normal.
"India didn't see any valid reason for the extension of emergency. We continue to watch the situation and continue to urge the government of Maldives to release the political prisoners, release Chief Justice, implement SC orders and restore normal functioning of institutions of democracy," Kumar stated.
The MEA added that it was dismayed that the Maldives government has extended emergency for 30 more days.
Maldives seeks foreign help to investigate arrested judges' wealth: Envoy
The declaration of emergency earlier this month in the archipelago, known for his turquoise waters and beaches, saw the nation plunging into a political crisis.
President Yameen declared emergency on February 5 after the Supreme Court ordered the release of a group of Opposition leaders, who had been convicted in widely-criticised trials. Among them, was exiled ex-president Mohamed Nasheed. The court said his trial was unconstitutional.
There has been international condemnation of the Maldivian government's moves, including the imposition of emergency.

Cleveland, Host City Of GOP Convention, Extends Transgender Protections To Include Bathroom Use
With just days before the opening of the 2016 Republican National Convention, Cleveland, the host city, has extended its transgender protections to include bathroom use.
Cleveland City Council on Wednesday voted unanimously to allow transgender people to use the bathroom of their choice.
In 2009, city leaders approved legislation that prohibits discrimination based on a person's gender identity in employment and public accommodations.
A draft of the Republican platform to be voted on next week state's the party's opposition to such laws, and by extension its support for North Carolina's controversial law that restricts transgender bathroom use.
LGBT rights groups applauded the move.
"While national Republican leaders are doing everything possible to relegate LGBTQ people to second-class citizens, the Cleveland City Council is standing up and sending the world a different message – that Cleveland is a welcoming city and won't tolerate discrimination against transgender people," said JoDee Winterhof, senior vice president of policy and political affairs at the Human Rights Campaign (HRC). "We commend City Council members for setting a pro-equality example for other cities and states by soundly rejecting the dangerous, fear-mongering rhetoric many anti-equality activists are peddling across the country."
"Cleveland is now a world-class city with laws that foster a culture of inclusion," said Alana Jochum, executive director of Equality Ohio. "When the world is watching Cleveland on television, whether it's the NBA Finals or the Republican National Convention, they're seeing a city that is welcoming of LGBTQ people."

Cowboys Super Fan "Crazy Ray" Dies At 76
Saturday, March 17th 2007, 8:08 pm
DALLAS (AP) _ Wilford ``Crazy Ray'' Jones, the boisterous Dallas Cowboys fan who energized crowds with his cowboy getup and sideline cheerleading for decades, died Saturday. He was 76.
Jones died about 11:30 a.m. at his home, said Tracy Moberly, a friend of the family. Diabetes and cardiovascular disease were listed as the causes of death, according to the Dallas County medical examiner's office.
Known as the Cowboys unofficial mascot, Jones entertained fans with sideline antics and magic tricks while wearing his signature chaps, six-shooter and blue vest.
Though he was not paid by the Cowboys, he was given a special parking space at Texas Stadium and granted all-access at home games.
``He touched thousands of lives and generations of football fans,'' Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on the team's Web site. ``He will remain an important part of this team's heritage and family for as long as fans go to Cowboys games and feel his spirit.''
Crazy Ray Jones, who had a leg amputated in 1997, had battled ailing health in recent years, including five heart bypasses and a stroke. Friends had set up a Web site _ www.savecrazyray.com _ seeking donations to help the family pay for medical and utility bills.

Sounds and patterns: Two easy to use drop-down menus are the Content Library to download new sound banks (sounds), and the Pattern Manager to select MIDI loops/patterns and dump them to the Piano roll.
The FPC interface consists of three main zones - Main Pad Properties (1), Layer Properties (2) and the Pad Matrix (3), as described below. The interface can be resized by Left-clicking the left or right edge of the plugin and dragging horizontally to hide/show the layer controls.
Larger interface - Drag on the lower-right corner.
Load samples - Drop on Pads from the Browser or File Explorer window.
Play sample regions - Right-click the sample preview display and choose 'Select region'.
Random-layers - Switch on the Random layers button and overlap velocity ranges.
Select Pads/samples - By playing them.
Touch control - Select bank A or A+B from the Layout control (Gear icon).
Layout Control - allows you to swap between three modes. 1. As shown above. 2. Pad-Bank A view. 3. Pad Banks A+B view. The two Pad-Bank modes are designed for playing FPC on a touch-screen. You can click and drag on the plugin window to resize Pads. Click the control to cycle between the three views.
Pattern Manager - opens a tree-menu showing a list of percussion loops (MIDI data) that when selected load into the FPC channel as a Piano roll. Selecting a new pattern from the menu will replace the currently selected pattern.
This panel shows the currently selected Pad. To select a Pad Left-click on down arrow to the right of the Pad Selector or Left-click the pad on the play-pads. NOTE: You can play Pads without changing the selected Pad by using the right-mouse button.
Pad selector - (Showing Pad 1/32) The arrows allow you to change the selected Pad.
Bank A / Bank B - Quick access to all Pads (sounds) from Banks A and B.
Change color - Select a new color for the Pad.
Change icon - Change/add an icon for the Pad.
Load preset - Loads an FPC preset.
Save preset - Saves an FPC preset.
Clear pad - Reset the Pad to an empty, default state.
Import DirectWave program - FPC can only import .dwp files (DirectWave programs), not banks. The root note is used to map DW zones to FPC Pads. Only the first 32 Zones/Pads will load, root notes in excess of 32 are ignored. FPC only imports zone pan and tune along with the wave file.
Save entire kit as pad presets - Saves each Pad as a separate FPC Pad preset, allowing you to share Pads between kits.
Save all wav files - Exports all the wave files used in the preset.
Export kit as SFZ file - Exports kit in rgcAudio's SFZ format.
Save for FL Studio Mobile... - Save to .dwp (Monolithic format), compatible with FL Studio Mobile's DirectWave sampler.
default - Matches the Akai MPC™ series unless it has been overwritten with your own layout. Note that if you want a particular layout to load each time FPC is opened, you will need to 'Use current layout when changing presets' first (see below).
padKontrol - PadKontrol preset (custom controller).
trigger finger - Trigger Finger preset (custom controller).
(none) - FPC will use the note layout saved in the song/preset opened.
Use current layout when changing presets - Prevents the current note layout changing when you select a new preset.
Save note layout - Saves the Pad to MIDI note relationships (layout).
Load note layout - Loads the Pad to MIDI note layout presets.
Map notes for entire bank - Starting from Pad 1 (lower left) each MIDI note that is played on your controller will be automatically linked to the next FPC Pad (Pad 1-16 or 17-32 in sequence). Clicking on the option selects the first Pad in the bank. There are three ways to cancel the auto-link process: 1. Change the note value for a Pad, 2. Change the Pad or 3. Select "Cancel Map notes..." in the Pad menu.
Pad name box - Shows the Pad name, which you can change by Right-clicking the box and entering new name in the window that pops up.
Volume, Pan & Pitch - Sets the Pad volume (left), Stereo Panning (middle) and Pitch (right). NOTE: When pitching samples the Mixer > Resampling quality setting will affect CPU usage.
Mute button - Mutes the current Pad (active when green).
Solo button - Mutes all other Pads except the current Pad (and any other solo Pads) (active when red).
Scale volume button - This option should usually be enabled, unless you want to handle velocity changes entirely with multiple velocity-sensitive layers (see Layer Properties below).
Bank A/B - There are two banks X16 Pads available per patch.
Last hit - Assigns the last triggered MIDI controller key to the current Pad.
Learn - Assigns the next triggered MIDI controller key to the current Pad.
Map notes for entire bank - A 'Learn mode' that steps through all the Pads in the bank. Assigns the bottom left Pad first and works its way to the top right Pad. You will need to trigger 16 MIDI keys to assign all Pads.
Show GM note names - Shows/hides the General MIDI note names.
CUT Group / Cut BY - Use CUT and BY to use one Pad to cut (stop) notes playing on another Pad. The CUT box sets the cut group the selected Pad is in. The second box BY sets which group will cut the current Pad. Use these controls to make more realistic drum kits, where an open hi-hat is cut by a closed hi-hat, for example. To make a Pad cut itself, set the CUT and BY values to the same number. To change values, Left-click in the box, hold and move the mouse up and down.
Output - The Output Offset adds a Mixer Track offset value to the selected Pad, this allows independent or grouped mixer tracks to be used by the FPC Pads. The offset is relative to the Mixer Track number the plugin is assigned to at the Channel Settings. For example, if FPC is sent to mixer track 1 and the offset for a given Pad is 2, then the sound from that Pad will appear on mixer track 3. If the plugin wrapper is set to track 5 then the Pad will appear on Mixer Track 7. To disable the offset set the display so that it shows '--'.
Each Pad can contain multi-layer samples so that different Layers respond to specific velocity ranges. This can be useful for creating realistic acoustic drum kits. Use the Layer Properties view to create and edit the Layers of the currently selected Pad.
Select - Click this button to mark the channel as selected. This is required for some operations, like browsing for a new sample, move up/down, delete, display in the large sample preview (in the bottom) and the reverse playback switch.
Volume Knob - Sets the volume of the Layer.
Pan Knob - Sets the stereo panning of the Layer.
Layer Tune Knob - Allows you to offset the pitch up/down (faster/slower playback) from the original playback speed of the sample. The knob ranges from -1 to +1 octave pitch shift.
Mini Sample Preview - Displays the loaded sample (if any). Click to preview the sample.
Velocity Range - Sets the active velocity range for the Layer, i.e. the velocity values at which the Layer's sample will play. The velocity is mapped from minimum (left) to maximum (right). Drag the velocity-range end-point handles to define the active velocity region. Overlapping layers will play together when the Random layers switch is deactivated. NOTE: The Lock Layers switch must be disabled to overlap Layers.
Create (Layer) - Adds a new, empty Layer at the bottom of the stack (use the scroll bar down the right side of the window to access Layers that are out of view).
Delete (Layer) - To delete a Layer, select it by clicking the Layer's Select button and then click Delete .
Spread Even - Spreads the Layer velocity ranges evenly, from min to max input velocity, without overlap.
Lock Layers - Locks adjacent Layer's end-point ranges together to prevent overlapping (one sample will play at a time for any given velocity).
Velocity range preview - Click on this bar to play the Layers according to velocity input from low (left) to high (right).
Cycle - Each Layer in the velocity group will be played, in turn, each time that velocity group is played.
Random - Layers are played at random from the velocity group.
Random (avoid previous) - Layers are played at random from the velocity group, with the restriction that the same Layer will never be played twice in a row. Random selection can sometimes cause a singe Layer to be played repeatedly, defeating the purpose. This random option can help to avoid obvious identical hits with repeated fast playing of a Pad.
TIP: Generally the Random function is designed to select from a number of samples played at similar velocities, with subtle and natural variations between them caused by human inaccuracies or left/right hand variations. Layer randomization eliminates the artificial and mechanical sound often associated with a single sample rapidly played. You will find however by equalizing the volume of a number of Layers (use the Layer Volume knobs) played at even very different velocities, natural playing can be 'faked' with only a few sample Layers.
Load a sample - Click the Browse button (on the left in the Sample File controls (see screenshot above) and select a sample.
Reverse - To reverse a sample, select the Layer and click the Reverseoption at the bottom of the interface.
To reorder Layers - Select the Layer and use the Move Up/Down buttons at the top of the interface.
Preview - To hear how your Pad will sound at various velocities click the Full Pad Preview bar at the velocity value you want to preview. Velocity is indicated by the vertical bars - lower velocities to the left and higher velocities to the right.
Load - Opens file browser to load a sample into that Layer.
Edit - Opens sample in Edison.
Edit in new window - Opens sample in a new instance of Edison.
Show in browser - Opens the folder in the FL Browser where the file is located and highlights the sample. Then in the Browser, F5 and F6 will cycle through samples in that folder and select them into the selected layer in FPC.
Select region - When samples have region data embedded (some drum loops for example) you can select the region to play. Sample markers can also be selected and the sample will start playing\ from that point.
There is a Volume and Pan Envelope for each Pad. Use the selector on the right side of the Envelope window to change between them. Envelopes are not active until enabled, as shown below.
The Envelope editor provides a "classic" ADSR envelope & the power of unlimited spline segments. Left-click and drag node/curve points in order to change the Envelope shape. Right-click the envelope area to add nodes.
Enable/Disable Switch - To use an envelope/mapping, enable the LED at the bottom left of the editor (see the hand-pointer on the screenshot above).
Open state file / Save state file - Opens/saves envelope states. Several different pre-defined state files are available.
Copy state / Paste state - Use this to copy and paste envelopes, usually between instances of the EQ editor across open plugins.
Undo - Undoes the last envelope edit.
Undo history / Last reset - Shows the editing history since the last reset.
Flip vertically - Inverts the current envelope.
Scale levels - Opens the Scale Level tool.
Normalize levels - Scales the envelope so the highest and/or lowest levels reach +/- 100%.
Decimate points - Opens a simple tool that allows manipulation of the number of control points in the envelope (useful in conjunction with Analyze audio file).
Filter - Opens the Envelope Filter tool (useful in conjunction with Analyze audio file).
Smooth up - Opens the Smooth Up tool that allows smoothing of the envelope shape (useful in conjunction with Analyze audio file).
Smooth up abrupt changes - Quick removal of 'spikey' or sudden changes in the envelope.
Turn all points smooth - Preset filter to quickly filter the envelope.
Create sequence - Opens the Envelope Sequencer tool.
Analyze audio file - Open, analyze and replicate the volume envelope of an input sound file. Drag and drop audio files directly on the Envelope editor for automatic analysis.
Background gradient - Flips the background gradient shading vertically.
Freeze - Enable this switch to lock the envelope curve to its current setup. This feature is helpful in protecting the spline structure of an envelope from accidental edits (it also hides the handles, providing a clear view of the shape).
Snap - Enable this option if you want the control points to snap to the nearest step in the timeline while dragging.
Slide - Enable this option to preserve the relative distance between a dragged control point and all control points following it (this option is enabled by default).
Left-click - Allows you to hear the samples loaded on that Pad AND changes the Layer Properties to match that Pad. The vertical position clicked affects triggered velocity. Top = low velocity, bottom = high velocity.
Right-click - The Pad will preview the samples without changing the Layer View to that Pad.
Ctrl+Right-click - Opens the Pad menu. Individual Rename/icon/color and Preset options.
Middle-click - Opens the rename, icon & color pop-up for that Pad.
Dragging a sample - onto a Pad (from the Browser) will load it in the selected layer of the Pad.
Pad numbering - Pads are numbered from bottom-left to top-right so that the bottom row are Pads 1,2, 3 and 4, the second from bottom row are 5, 6, 7 and 8 and so on, to the top right Pad 16 (i.e. Pad 1 is bottom left, Pad 16 is top right).
Pad presets - These are sample/layer setup files. To select without previewing, click the Load preset button. The Previous and Next buttons allow you to switch between alternative setups for the Pad used (if available). Each drum kit may include several different samples for each Pad.
MIDI key assignment - The settings for both the MIDI key assigned to each Pad and the cut groups for the Pad are set in the Main Pad Properties (1). change access to all Pads (sounds) from Banks A and B using the Bank A / Bank B switches.
Clear FPC - From the Wrapper menu select 'Presets > Empty' before you start building your new Kit (that is, if you want to start from a clean slate). One of the many advantages of the 'Empty' preset is that the Pads are already assigned to the appropriate General MIDI keys. Just make sure you drop your samples on the appropriate Pad.
Samples in folders in the Browser - If you are loading the samples from the Browser, nothing extra needs to be done at this step.
Samples dragged from Slicex or Edison - If you are dragging samples from Slicex or Edison and dropping them on FPC, then you should first set the Project General Settings Data folder to the location where you want to save your 'dragged' samples (and so save the FPC Kit samples). If you don't set the Data folder the default save location will be in the FL Studio installation folder ..\Program Files\Image-Line\FL Studio\Data\Patches\Sliced beats. Make sure any Data folder location you choose is visible from the Browser's Extra search folders, otherwise FPC will not be able to locate the samples next time you load the Kit.
Load your samples - Drag the samples from the Browser and drop on the Pad/Layer you want.
Set-up your Kit - Make any changes to envelopes & velocity-splits etc., as required. NOTE: you can reassign the MIDI key using the Play Key/Octave setting. Left-click to open.
Save a FPC preset (.fst) file - Use the wrapper menu to save a .fst file (Save preset as) to the location where you want to save the FPC kit (preset).
Reload the kit to test - When the FPC preset is loaded, FPC will locate the samples in the Browser Extra search folders.
NOTE: It is important that all samples used in the FPC Kit have unique names, otherwise FPC will load the first sample with the same file name it finds in the Browser. E.g. Don't use 'Kick1', 'Kick2' etc. It's highly likely samples with the same name exist elsewhere. Use something descriptive like 'Crunchy_Slicex_Kick1', 'Crunchy_Slicex_Kick2' etc.

"To ensure children are born healthy is to give them the best possible start in life. It is immensely encouraging to see countries succeed in eliminating mother-to-child transmission of these two diseases", said WHO Director-General Dr Margaret Chan. "This is a tremendous achievement – a clear signal to other countries that elimination is possible and that the world is on the way to an AIDS-free generation." Ending the epidemics of AIDS by 2030 is a key target of the Sustainable Development Goal on health and well-being.
"Every child growing up free from HIV thanks to antiretroviral medicines is a testimony to the progress the world is making in eliminating mother-to-child transmission of HIV," said UNAIDS Executive Director, Michel Sidibé. "As we meet in New York at the High-level Meeting on Ending AIDS to plan the next, crucial phase of the response to HIV, we will draw upon the successes of these countries to highlight the extraordinary achievements that can be made through the rapid expansion of access to life-saving treatment."
"This is a success for these countries and a celebration for children and families. We expect that these achievements will inspire many other European countries to seek validation that they have ended mother-to-child transmission of HIV and syphilis", added Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Regional Director for Europe. "It is only by ensuring truly universal access to HIV and syphilis prevention, treatment and care for all, while respecting individual rights, that the HIV and syphilis epidemics in children will be eliminated".
"After two decades of intensive efforts in the Region, we now have validated proof that it is possible to realize the right of all children to be born HIV-free. As we move forward, it is important that children have equitable access to services that can help them thrive and develop in a supportive family environment, with their mothers alive and nurturing their well-being", said Marie-Pierre Poirier, UNICEF Regional Director for Europe and Central Asia.
"The remarkable achievements of these countries in eliminating HIV and syphilis transmission to infants underscore the importance of robust maternal health services," according to Dr Babatunde Osotimehin, Executive Director, UNFPA. "Only by offering pregnant women integrated HIV and syphilis care as part of a rights-based, comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health services, including family planning, can we truly keep the mother–baby pair alive and thriving." The validation process for the three countries was conducted by WHO in collaboration with UNAIDS, UNICEF and UNFPA.
The reduction in the number of new cases of HIV and congenital syphilis infections among children is one of Europe's successes in its response to HIV and sexually transmitted infections in the past few years. Mother-to-child transmission accounted for just 1% of new cases of HIV infection reported in 2014 in the WHO European Region.
Ensuring that pregnant women living with HIV and their children have access to antiretroviral therapy lowers the risk of mother-to-child transmission of HIV from up to 45% to 1%. Up to 95% of HIV-infected pregnant women receive antiretroviral therapy in Europe – the highest percentage globally, and more than 70% of infants of HIV-positive women were tested within 2 months of birth.


Cazenove Charities is pleased to sponsor the 17th edition of the NCVO Almanac. Since its launch, the Almanac has provided strong evidence of the significant contribution made by the voluntary sector. This year's edition therefore serves as an important reminder of the depth, breadth and impact of the sector, at a time when its credentials are being questioned.
We are the trusted partner of 900 charitable organisations with the responsibility for helping each of them achieve their own investment objectives, whatever their size and purpose. Whilst investment income only represents about 7% of the sector's total income, it is often an important component of those organisations that have endowments and this research suggests that over 63% of voluntary organisations had some form of investment income. However, it is the wider picture that remains so impressive and important, with charitable spending increasing year on year in the face of a falling proportion of this income coming from government. The sector also employs about 880,000 people, around three fifths the size of the NHS workforce.
We are delighted to continue supporting the Almanac and trust that you will find the data and analysis both interesting and helpful in support of your individual organisations and the wider voluntary sector.

Movies #Furious8: "Straight Outta Compton" Director Confirmed To Helm
#Furious8: "Straight Outta Compton" Director Confirmed To Helm
The "Fast & Furious" franchise has just welcomed a new family member.
After days of speculation, director F. Gary Fray confirmed via Facebook and Twitter that he is attached to helm the 8th instalment of the "Fast & Furious" series.
Cant ask for better partners than Vin, Neal & Universal. Excited to bring u the next chapter of the #FastFamily saga pic.twitter.com/zRGre14kKO
— F Gary Gray (@FGaryGray) October 8, 2015
Gray became one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood after the massive success of this year's American biographical drama film, "Straight Outta Compton".
Variety previously reported that Gray was among the 4 directors that have been eyed by the studio to helm the 8th film. The other 3 directors are "The Guest" director Adam Wingard, "Now You See Me" helmer Louis Leterrier, and Will Eubank
On 6th October (Tuesday), "Furious 7" star and producer Vin Diesel posted a photo of himself with Gray on his official Facebook page, hinting strongly that Gray is his choice to direct "Fast and Furious 8″.
Source: Vin Diesel's official Facebook page
As expected, Gray has been chosen to take over from James Wan, who helmed "Furious 7″.
Rumour has it that Gray has also been eyed to direct Marvel's "Black Panther", which will be released in February 2018. Now, it's unclear whether he is still in the running for the Marvel movie due to his commitment to the 8th "Fast & Furious" film.
According to Diesel, "Furious 8" is set to take place in New York City and will begin filming in spring next year. Pre-production is expected to begin next month.
"Furious 7" currently sits as the 7th highest-grossest film of all time (worldwide) and is still in theatres.

"Furious 8" is set to be released on 14th April 2017.
Though it won't ever be the same again without Paul Walker, we can't wait to see the next film!

This little PC supports up to a Core i9-10880H processor
by Brad Linder
Posted on October 16, 2020 at 11:56 am
4 Comments on This little PC supports up to a Core i9-10880H processor
Chinese PC maker TOPTON is selling a tiny desktop computer that measures just 5.9″ x 5.7″ x 2.6″ but which packs support for a lot of horsepower. It's available with several processor options, but the top of the line model is powered by Intel's 45 watt, 8-core, 16-thread Core i9-10880H Comet Lake CPU with a 2.3 GHz base frequency and support for turbo boost speeds as high as 5.1 GHz.
The TOPTON mini PC is available from AliExpress for $342 and up. The starting price is for a barebones model with an Intel Core i5 quad-core chip, but you can upgrade to the Core i9 processor for an extra $184 or add memory and storage if you need them.
Under the hood, the system features two M.2 2280 slots with support for NVMe storage, a SATA 3.0 connector for a 2.5 inch hard drive or SSD, two SODIMM slots for up to 64GB of dual channel DDR4-2666 memory, and an M.2 2230 slot for a wireless module.
The company says you can connect up to three 4K displays using three of the laptop's ports:
HDMI ([email protected])
DisplayPort ([email protected])
USB-C ([email protected])
Other Ports include:
2 x Gigabit Ethernet
1 x 3.5 mm audio
If you were hoping for a fanless computer, this ain't it. TOPTON does say that the computer's copper fan offers "silent" heat dissipation, but I wouldn't bank on that.
Note that the base price for the computer does not include a wireless card, but you can add an Intel AX200 WiFi 6 & Bluetooth 5.1 card for an extra $20… but you have to jump through some weird hoops.
There's a link at the bottom of the AliExpress page that takes you to another page where you can add money to your order in $1 increments until you hit the target amount and then you need to leave a note to say which upgrade you want (other options include up to a 2TB hard drive, a mouse and keyboard, or "genuine OEM license sticker.")
So yeah, that's a thing.

I really wish this had a Thunderbolt port so at least one had the option to have an eGPU. The ability to upgrade the processor and RAM is nice (unlike the one you posted yesterday) but I guess that's the balance in price, etc.
Some Guy says:
Plugging a NUC into an egpu seemed kind of silly to me (it's like building a desktop but with everything connected with USB cords), so I had to check if it was cheaper somehow.
On the high end, building a PC with a plain old microatx motherboard is cheaper, than plugging this thing into an EGPU. You can get a comparable build for $910, and that doesn't include the price of the GPU case and it's power supply.

On the low end, a comparable build is still a bit cheaper than the topton, and that's still not including the price of the egpu case.

Need a mini pc for travel/work (a laptop would not work for the scenarios I'm speaking of) and would like to bring it home and connect it to an eGPU for work (where a more powerful desktop GPU is more desirable than a laptop one) and play. And of course one can build a micro ATX PC for cheaper. But thanks for stating the obvious
Paul Chen says:
If that's all you need, you can get nvme to pcie adapter. It's 20 bucks on Amazon. You'll lose the hot plugging features of tb3, but it's not like the pc itself is on batteries. TB3 egpus have an overhead that nvme to pcie does not have, you. The only other thing is that it won't look elegant .

Opifex Hutton, 1902
AUSTRALASIAN REGION
Culicinae
Aedini
Generic abbreviation: Op.
Type species: Opifex fuscus Hutton
Etymology: not stated. [worker or artisan (L)]
Despite there being only two species in the genus Opifex—both endemic to New Zealand—they are sufficiently distinct as to be placed into two separate subgenera: Nothoskusea (Op. chathamicus (Dumbleton)) and Opifex (Op. fuscus Hutton). Opifex chathamicus is endemic to the Chatham Islands and is by far the largest mosquito in New Zealand. It is very rare and recognized by their dark-scaled abdominal sterna with basal lateral pale patches and a pale apical median patch on some segments. Opifex fuscus Hutton is found on the North and South Islands, the Snares Islands and the Kermadec Islands.
ADULT (illustrated): Head: Antenna with a fully developed scape behind pedicel; vertex and occiput with short setae instead of erect scales; eyes widely separated. Wing: Subcostal vein short, with numerous basal setae. Legs: Unguis (U-I) long (Op. fuscus). Abdomen: Seta 6-I–V with ≥3 branches.
LARVA (not illustrated): Thorax: Seta 9–12-T reduced, single. Abdomen: Seta 7-I with ≥2 branches. Terminal segments: Saddle small; pecten spines few to absent.

All Opifex DNA sequences
Immature Op. chathamicus have been found in fresh to brackish water rockpools at or above the high tide line, at only three localities on the Chatham Islands. Opifex fuscus females are autogenous and oviposit in brackish to super-saline coastal rockpools, with a preference for sites that are occupied by conspecific immatures, perhaps related to mating.
Opifex males wait at the larval habitats and upon locating a mature pupa, the males grasp the respiratory trumpets with their extensive fore tarsal claws, waiting for the pupal case to split. If the emergent adult is a male, contact is broken; if female, copulation begins, even before the female has emerged from the pupal case. Oviposition is generally staggered over 3–12 days.
Although only eight adults of Op. chathamicus have ever been captured in the wild, all were collected in connection to people. Two females were collected at human bait on South East Island, one female indoors 2km from the coast at Wharekauri, and five specimens collected indoors at 22:00, southeast of Waitangi, some 5km from the shore. Wharekauri is 2km from the shore and Waitangi is more than 5km from the coast, suggesting that Op. chathamicus are either very strong flyers, or their preferred larval habitats may be less restricted than originally thought.
Although Op. fuscus primarily feeds on sea birds, it is a well-known nuisance to fisherman, and can deliver a painful bite. Experimentally, Op. fuscus is a competent vector for several alphaviruses.

Still owned by the Ramos family, its founders, the Miramar began life in 1948 as an almacén, or bulk-goods grocer, and its endurance qualifies it for the city's recognized list of cafes — or bares notables. In 1998, Buenos Aires legislated this official designation for bars, cafes, billiard halls and confectionaries whose antiquity, architecture or historical significance make them worthy of note and of preservation efforts.
The annually expanding list (now more than 50) includes some magnificent and famous cafes, like Las Violetas and Tortoni with their beveled mirrors and polished-wood bars — cathedrals where tourists gather to worship legends like Carlos Gardel, a tango crooner who died in a 1935 plane crash and "every day sings a little better," it is said. But other bares notables are humbler, and it is there, amid the worn interiors like that of the Miramar, that you can find the traditional menus designed to please Argentines, whose melting-pot cuisine has a marked Italian influence. The food is home-cooked good, abundant and, with the favorable dollar-to-peso exchange rate, inexpensive.
Like the Miramar, El Preferido de Palermo, in the Palermo barrio, opened as an almacén in 1952, when its founder, Arturo Fernández, arrived from the province of Asturias on Spain's lush north coast. The grocery, with shelves of canned eel, olives and good wines, remains, sharing tight space with trendy orange-and-green tables where a limited menu is served to Palermo's young and hip.
A photo of Francis Ford Coppola graces the counter, but the barrio's real luminary, Jorge Luis Borges (the street bears his name), lived across the way from 1901 to 1914. A wider menu is served in the connecting main restaurant, warm with red-and-white tablecloths and wrought-iron chandeliers. A must-try is the fabada asturiana (30 pesos for two people, or $7.75 at 3.87 pesos to the dollar), a time-honored recipe known to call for "ear of pig." El Preferido's version (no ear) is a steamy casserole of creamy-textured favas tossed with morcilla (blood sausage), fresh pork, pancetta and chorizo.
It's much farther from downtown Buenos Aires to the pretty, tranquil barrio of Villa Devoto — about 30 minutes by taxi. But make the trip anyway, for the broad-canopied rosewood trees shading the avenues and for the gargantuan picada (56 pesos per person) at Café de García, opened in 1937. A food saga told in about 30 items, the picada is a kind of gastronomical parade of small dishes, paid for in one overall price. Take in the scene as you wait for your dinner. A Boca Juniors T-shirt signed by Diego Maradona joins accordions, cue sticks, wineskins, firearms and numerous vintage items on shelves and yellowed walls. This is a Quilmes-beer-on-tap kind of cafe. Mineral water comes in old-fashioned soda siphon bottles. "You choose the drink, I take care of the rest," Rubén García instructs first-time customers as he skirts billiard tables.
One Saturday night last April, the picada began with a basket of tantalizingly crisp potatoes. Small plates and crocks arrived in pairs and included vitel tonné, a cold veal dish defined by a cream sauce spiked with anchovy, capers and tuna. The array was dizzying — herbed meatballs, empanadas and other savory pastries, stewed squid, roasted peppers, olives, garlicky beans, fish, dessert and a chalice of sparkling wine. Espresso drinks were set before a party of five men whose interest alternated between the soccer game on an overhead TV and free plates of pan dulce (fruit cake) and nougat candies. They chatted and nibbled in slo mo.
Like Café de García, Café Margot, in a 1903 building, is a reference point to its barrio — in this case Boedo, an artist refuge that was home to the tango lyricist Homero Manzi. Local sculptors' works rise from the busy sidewalks, and the cafe exhibits artwork in its rustic brick interior. Hams and salamis dangle over the bar, but the specialty here is turkey, which reportedly brought visits by Juan Perón. It's offered in more than 30 ways (for about 13 to 19 pesos), including in escabeche, a confit of dark meat in a tangy vinaigrette.
This is also a good spot for matambre — the name, an amalgam of matar and hambre, means "kill hunger" — and the dish, made with flank steak, was favored by gauchos who roamed the pampas with it strung to their saddles. Most Argentine households have a recipe for matambre that is filled, jelly-roll fashion, with carrots, herbs, spices, garlic and hard-cooked eggs.
San Telmo, the oldest part of Buenos Aires, boasts seven bares notables, including a bohemian haunt called Británico, a prime scene in Tomás Eloy Martínez's novel "The Tango Singer." Most cater to young customers looking for hamburgers and fries. But the most rundown and least self-aware, La Coruña, which clings to a corner of the San Telmo market, is where you'll find the uncompromising grub that feeds local laborers: lentil stew, sardines, hake fillet, liver and onions, vegetable omelet, kidneys à la Provençale — all between 9 and 13 pesos.
Carmen Moreira, daughter of the family that has owned the cafe since 1961, sets the food on milk-glass plates before customers sharing the long tables. It's straightforward unadorned cuisine but an experience to savor, like the magical realism of a Borges story, from many angles.

Troll Charles Johnson banned from Twitter
By DYLAN BYERS
Charles Johnson, a California based blogger and well-known political troll, has been permanently banned from Twitter after asking for donations to help "take out" an activist who's been protesting the recent police shootings in Baltimore and Ferguson.
Johnson was suspended on Sunday after soliciting support to "take out" DeRay McKesson, a civil rights activist. Johnson and his lawyers argue that he is a victim of censorship, and have threatened legal action. "Twitter doesn't seem to have a problem with people using their service to coordinate riots," Johnson wrote on his blog Sunday. "But they do have a problem with the kind of journalism I do."
A self-described "radical" and "revolutionary," Johnson is known for ginning up controversy with false accusations. He wrongly accused two New York Times reporters of revealing the address of the police officer in the Ferguson shooting. He wrongly accused another Times reporter of posing for Playgirl. He wrongly claimed that Sen. Cory Booker did not live in Newark when he served as that city's mayor. On one occasion, he was temporarily suspended from Twitter after posting photos of someone he claimed had been exposed to Ebola. His most high-profile moment came when he rightly cast doubt on the Rolling Stone article about the University of Virginia rape accusations. Then he threatened to expose the student who made the accusations, attacked her on social media and published a photo of a woman he thought was her -- but wasn't. Johnson has also suggested that President Obama is gay.
Writing of Johnson in December, the late media columnist David Carr summarized his efforts thusly: " In general, he has a knack for staking an outrageous, attacking position on a prominent news event, then pounding away until he is noticed. It is one way to go, one that says everything about the corrosive, underreported news era we are living through."
Johnson was noticed for the last time on Twitter when he requested funding to "take out" McKesson. Though as The Washington Post notes, "This does not, alas, mean we've seen the last of Chuck Johnson, uber-troll extraordinaire. Banned by Twitter, he can simply take up residence elsewhere — say Facebook, where he purportedly maintains a personal account, or Reddit, where he's promised an upcoming AMA."
