Both have participated in specific drills, according to Malone, but have yet to progress to contact or anything live at practice. It’s a refrain Malone has said on several occasions, emphasizing how neither he nor the front office has put any pressure on either player to return. “It is also just as likely that they don’t.” “It is under the realm of possibility that Michael Porter and Jamal Murray return this year,” Malone said. Cousins is expected to be available for Friday’s game at Boston.Īnd yet as much as the Nuggets have endured, one can’t help but envision how dangerous Denver will be once they get healthy.Īs Malone was explaining the rationale for the team’s deadline patience, there was Porter working with developmental coaches on the far end of the court, going through shooting drills and raining in 3-pointers. Their need for a backup center will be filled, at least temporarily, with DeMarcus Cousins, whom the Nuggets’ signed to a second 10-day contract. Their attempts at finding a defensive wing weren’t hollow. Adding Bryn Forbes a few weeks ago addressed their biggest need - outside shooting.

So if anyone wants to get some better audio out of the Pi 4. It was - and that is what is in the picture. Then I wondered if the pulseaudio equalizer I use on desktop Linux, that was not available on Raspbian, was in Manjaro repo. Once Manjaro was running I noticed it had better audio through the 3.5mm jack, than Raspbian, and a bit of checking showed it was running pulseaudio without all the hassles that came ebout when I tried it on Raspbian. And because the person I replied to had mentioned Manjaro, I decided to test my suggestion. But after another discussion on the forum, where I suggested one of the Pi's great advantages over conventional computers is that one can simply write a new operating system to a spare SD card and within seconds, be running it. I meant to add, just in case you or anyone else wondered how I found this equalizer eventually, that I could not achieve it using Raspbian. I've changed the target to many of the options available, some of which contain the word pulseaudio but I don't hear the current setting. i've tried using vlc to play music and listen to the current equalizer settings but I can't point vlc at pulseaudio - it seems to only like alsa. vnc can't show you kodi because of the way kodi is displayed (using opengl i think). I think part of the reason for this is that i'm doing this headlessly - via ssh or vnc. This works but i'm unable to just tweak the equalizer and hear the effects immediately - I have to make a change, apply it and reboot. Kodi doesn't want to play with the alsa equalizer so i'm using the pulseaudio one. I've connecting it to an external dac via usb using kodi and it works fine but I want an equalizer. I've spent a fair bit of time fiddling with audio on my pi. Yeah, I have the audiophilia affliction to some did you solve the equalizer problem? That screenshot looks like it might be pulseaudio-equalizer-gtk but I'm unsure how to obtain that on my pi. Knowing system-wide parametric equalization is even possible on this architecture would save me a lot of time and give me a lot of encouragement because I'm afraid I'm not going to use the Pi much if I can't equalize. I've found scripts to convert configs (well, from REW settings to LADSPA at least) so that's no issue, but I don't have my Pi yet and have a lot of more fundamental setup to do before working on this. I'm not opposed to learning and don't expect a step-by-step guide, but there are so many possible ways to accomplish this, none of which I am certain would work on a Pi, that knowing which method to pursue would really help me out.įor one specific method, has anyone succeeded in getting LADSPA plugins working globally and with ALSA on a Pi? I need to convert my Equalizer APO settings to an equally powerful parametric EQ plugin. I need at least an 8-band (preferably more) system-wide parametric EQ to be always active on a Pi 4 running Raspbian or RetroPie. Peter Winch in Simone Weil: The Just Balance (Cambridge University Press, 1989) brilliantly connects Weil’s underlying philosophy to the linguistic philosophical tradition that clusters around Wittgenstein. For this, one must turn to several other recent books. Unfortunately, Gabriella Fiori’s book, though valuable, does not make Weil’s thought more accessible to academic interests. It requires sustained effort to master her thought sufficiently to connect it fruitfully to the issues theologians, philosophers and social and political scientists discuss. But probably the biggest reason for her marginal status is that she is a truly radical and original thinker whose thought does not immediately factor with academic theology or indeed with any field of study. In addition, the very first public notice of her was as a mystic, a label that has stuck to her, and academic theologians are not well disposed to mystics. When she was in New York City for several months waiting transport to England, she spent much of her time in Harlem, because she liked to be with those who suffered, rather than at Union Seminary. Perhaps Weil is neglected because she was not professionally trained in theology or personally acquainted with academic theologians. Paul Ricoeur is French, as are many deconstructionists, and they are taken very seriously. Some women, however, are read by theologians, but Weil is not a force even among feminist theologians. Possibly because she was a woman and was French. Why then is she still at best only on the edges of academic theology? Many of her works have had good publishers and translators. Her works are substantial in quantity - about ten volumes - and beautifully written. In our own day such writers as Robert Coles and Iris Murdoch have been profoundly influenced by Weil. Eliot, who not only wrote an arresting introduction to Weil’s Need for Roots but contributed to the cost of a headstone for her previously unmarked grave. She attracted the attention and admiration of André Gide, Albert Camus and T. In addition, her intellectual powers and education were of the highest order. If personal heroism is a recommendation, as it is in the case of Bonhoeffer, Weil’s credentials are impeccable. She once gave shelter to Trotsky (and is said to have argued him into the ground over the nature of social oppression), was a soldier at the front in the Spanish Civil War, sought dangerous service in World War II and served with the Free French in London. By working in factories and on farms she sought to understand how the oppression of work could be alleviated and the social hierarchy dismantled. She was a spokesperson on behalf of striking workers, a volunteer teacher in night schools for railroad workers, and an active trade unionist. This is especially strange considering the large amount of attention theology gives these days to social and political issues and Weil’s own passionate, often heroic involvement in social and political action. Though Simone Weil (1909-43) is read by many people from a wide variety of backgrounds and with a wide variety of interests, she remains a marginal figure in the world of theology. Reviewing a recent biography of Simone Weil, Professor Allen reflects on the power of her life and thought and her curiously marginal status among theologians.

While Japan’s coin making history stretches back over a thousand years, it’s not necessarily the oldest specimens that fetch the biggest prices. But by the time the hammer fell, the price was $1.92 million. The rarity of the coin meant that it excited huge interest from bidders when it was offered at auction in 2021. They assessed it as MS60, meaning it was in “mint state”, with 60 points out of a possible 70 for its quality and condition. It was graded by the independent coin assessors, the PCGS – the Professional Coin Grading Service. These may be graffiti, or they may have had a more official purpose: two other Obans of this type are known to have similar additions. And on the obverse (the front) there are several characters inscribed by hand on the lower left portion. These are known as “Kiri stamps”.īoth sides are signed in ink. This Oban is set apart from other kinds by the presence of three diamond shaped stamps on the obverse. And they were the largest denomination of the currency introduced by the military dictator, or shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu. Obans were oval gold plates – the word means literally “large stamped piece”. And there are only six known specimens of this type in existence. It dates from the Tensho era, in around 1588. This remarkable coin is one of the first Oban coins ever minted. So if you’re ready, let’s get started! Most Valuable Japanese Coins 1. And we’ll reveal just how much they were willing to pay. We’ll find out why collectors were so keen to secure them. We’re going to explore the most valuable Japanese coins to have changed hands in recent years. So it’s perhaps not surprising that there are some highly collectable specimens on the market today. The country’s first coin was struck way back in 621 AD. Japan’s history and culture stretches back many centuries, and that’s mirrored in its currency. Key Cleaner helps to fix problem areas when performing a chroma key, especially in detailed regions such as hair. Visual effects artists receive some new tools with new keying effects, such as the new effects, Key Cleaner and Advanced Spill Suppressor. The 2014 update is filled with new tools and workflow improvements across all of the Creative Cloud applications. Moreover, a mask generated in Premiere Pro can be brought into After Effects for further adjustments and more effects through the Premiere Pro interchange. Now this type of operation can be performed on a single clip with multiple masks and multiple effects. In the past, users would layer up duplicates of a single piece of footage, create masks for selecting specific regions of the clip and then apply the effects to only the masked layer. Users are able to assign effects to masks on a piece of footage. Users can assign text layers to be Live Text fields when imported into Premiere Pro.Ī feature that is now found in Premiere Pro is one that is now also found in After Effects. Most notably is the increased integration with Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Adobe After Effects CC 2014 UpdatesĪdobe After Effects CC 2014 received several upgrades to improve performance and efficiency, as well as a couple of new tools. Features such as this, and the increased efficiency of the direct link between Premiere Pro CC and programs like Speedgrade CC, definitely give the video editor more time to work on their projects as opposed to wrangling their tools. The new Master Clip effect feature allows the video editor to apply an effect once to a master clip and that effect will carry over to each instance of the clip in use throughout the editor’s timeline. If a video editor needs to perform greater visual effects than what Premiere Pro can handle on a selected mask, the clip and mask can be sent to After Effects CC for further and more developed work. Meaning, users no longer need to stack duplicate footage when using masks and effects together. New to the Adobe workflow is the ability to apply effects to the masked region of the clip. Users can make a selection with a mask and have that mask track with the footage. Screen grab of Premiere Pro CC Masking and TrackingAnother feature video editors will find useful are the new Masking and Tracking tools in Premiere Pro. This is highly beneficial for video editors who work on productions that require the frequent use of lower thirds and title templates. Then the editor can change the text inside of Premiere Pro without having to open the After Effects project. A video editor can place an After Effects composition as Live Text template into a Premiere Pro timeline. A Live Text template is set up in After Effects, with designated text fields for use in Premiere Pro. The first being new Live Text templates from Adobe After Effects CC projects. Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 UpdatesĪdobe put several new features into Premiere Pro CC, allowing the video editor to remain in Premiere Pro to perform common, routine tasks that previously had to be executed outside of Premiere Pro. Likewise, the interoperability of tasks begun in Premiere Pro now carry over into other programs, such as After Effects, to increase the efficiency of specialized tasks that can only be performed in a particular program. New features and increased functionality for common tasks were added into Premiere Pro CC to decrease the amount of round tripping needed between Premiere Pro and the other apps. Adobe increased the efficiency and reliability of the dynamic link between Premiere Pro and the other video applications, such as Adobe After Effects CC and Adobe Speedgrade CC. The majority of Adobe’s updates to the video apps surrounds the use of Adobe Premiere Pro CC as the central editing hub for the Adobe video workflow. On June 18, Adobe rolled out the latest version of Creative Cloud, Adobe Creative Cloud 2014. The question that loomed for many users was whether or not there would be multiple versions of the software, and the answer is yes, there will be versioning of the Creative Cloud. Updates don’t require an additional cost or fee, and occur quite frequently. One of the advantages of a Creative Cloud subscription is that the user gains immediate access to updates as they are rolled out. This year, users of Adobe Creative Cloud learned more about how Adobe is handling upgrades to Creative Cloud applications. syx file with a hex editor, replacing the part at address 0004h "70 30" with "70 20 60" (= load, into current settings memory).

Unfortunately, the CZ-101 is really weird. But no settings option is available to hide this as well as select the default canvas size or whether to automatically show the Open dialog box.ĥ. It would be so nice if Gravit Designer could just simply show a blank canvas on opening the app rather than a startup window where you must decide the size of the canvas, or whether you just want an unlimited blank canvas size (should be default), or to Open a File (we already have it in the File menu and through Command O). If you have spent any time with the more refined apps such as Affinity Designer, you will know what I mean.Ĥ. If you use this app for the first time, you might easily be forgiven into thinking the app has crashed given how long it takes to perform certain operations without any indication of what it is doing. The window of the app will look like it is frozen because you can't do anything. In Gravit Designer, should an operation be performed that is likely to take a long time (and it will take a long time even for a document with a few slaps of text on the page and nothing else), you won't know what it is doing. For example, in any other app, you can export to PDF, EPS, SVG, JPG etc fairly quickly, and should there be a delay, a progress bar pops up telling you where an operation is at, and preferably with a little extra information about what exactly is it trying to do when a user has to wait. The biggest gripe with Gravit Designer is the lack of progress bars with a message explaining why there are delays in performing certain common operations. Otherwise you have to know where the buttons are by spending time leaning this app.ģ. The buttons across the top arranged in groups of four should have a general category mentioned to describe each group of four buttons primary purpose as in Affinity Designer (in fact, I think this is a direct take from Affinity - nothing wrong with this personally). The dark theme should be default (looks professional).Ģ. For example, Gravit Designer would be a much more useful app if it could do the following:ġ. Once you have used the other well-known apps, you would sometimes wish there was a little more refinement. Some great illustrations can be had from this app at a cost that makes Adobe Illustrator look expensive and Affinity Designer look like it is asking a little too much money from users. And once you get used to the interface and where everything is (sorry guys, it is not quite as familiar as with Adobe Illustrator or Affinity Designer - the latter is probably the closest thing to looking a bit like Gravit Designer's UI), this app can do some amazing things.

Ulee's Gold, a film about a tupelo honey farmer.The fruits conform to a kind that is common in the Paleogene, formerly called Palaeonyssa. Fossil record įruits conforming morphologically and anatomically to Nyssa have been identified from the Campanian of Alberta, Canada. In a good harvest year, the tupelo honey crop produced by a group of specialized Florida beekeepers has a value approaching $1,000,000. The honey is produced wherever tupelo trees (three species) bloom in southeastern USA, but the purest and most expensive version (which is certified by pollen analysis) is produced in this valley. The Apalachicola River in the Florida Panhandle is the center for tupelo honey. Monofloral honey made from the nectar of Nyssa ogeche has such a high ratio of fructose to glucose that it does not crystallize. In Florida, beekeepers keep beehives along the river swamps on platforms or floats during tupelo bloom to produce certified tupelo honey, which commands a high price on the market because of its flavor. They produce a very light, mild-tasting honey. Tupelos of the species Nyssa ogeche are valued as honey plants in the southeastern United States, particularly in the Gulf Coast region. The Ogeechee Tupelo, sometimes referred to as the Ocheechee Lime, which is native to Georgia and north Florida produces an edible fruit in the form of a sour, oblong drupe. Tupelos are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including Endoclita damor. Tupelos are popular ornamental trees for their mature form, shade, and spectacular autumn leaf colors. In the past, the hollow trunks were used as " bee gums" to hold beehives. The wood can be readily pulped and is used for high-grade book and magazine papers. In commerce, it is used for shipping containers and interior parts of furniture, and is used extensively in the veneer and panel industry for crossbanding, plywood cores, and backs. It power carves excellently and holds good detail in the end grain. Tupelo wood is used extensively by artistic woodcarvers, especially for carving ducks and other wildfowl. The city of Tupelo, Mississippi, is named for this tree. This tree should not be confused with the tulip poplar, Liriodendron sp. The name tupelo, the common name used for Nyssa, is of Native American origin, coming from the Creek words ito 'tree' and opilwa 'swamp' it was in use by the mid-18th century. The genus name Nyssa refers to a Greek water nymph. Other species are found in eastern and southeastern Asia, from China south through Indochina to Java and southwest to the Himalayas. Some of the species are native to eastern North America, from southeastern Canada through the Eastern United States to Mexico and Central America. Most Nyssa species are highly tolerant of wet soils and flooding, and some need such environments as habitat. In the APG IV system, it is placed in Nyssaceae. It is sometimes included in the subfamily Nyssoideae of the dogwood family, Cornaceae, but is placed by other authorities in the family Nyssaceae. Tupelo / ˈ t uː p ɪ l oʊ/, genus Nyssa / ˈ n ɪ s ə/, is a small genus of deciduous trees with alternate, simple leaves. Not to be confused with the tulip tree, Liriodendron tulipifera. |
