Using her last dollars, she bought a ticket on a cattle boat and sailed to Europe in eighteen ninety-nine. In a short time, she was out of work and poor once again. But soon it was hard to find jobs that paid her enough money just to survive. Sometimes Isadora Duncan was paid to dance in the homes of wealthy people or at parties they gave in their gardens. She did not dance alone on the stage and could not become the “star” of the show. But she had to dance as she was directed to do. She found work in several dance companies or groups of dancers. She thought dancing in these two large cities would help her career. When she was eighteen years old, Isadora urged her mother to move to Chicago and then to New York. She also visited local libraries to read the works of Shakespeare and to study about the ancient Greeks. She continued to teach dancing classes, mostly to young girls. Isadora spent most of her teen-aged years in the San Francisco area. She wanted people to see her body as she ran across the stage. When she danced, Isadora Duncan wore very thin clothing. She said this was like waves in the ocean, or trees swaying in the wind. Isadora liked to move her arms and legs in very smooth motions. She said ballet was “ugly and against nature.” She wanted her “modern” dance style to be free and natural. She said that ballet dancers had too many rules to follow about how they should stand and bend and move. She thought dancing should be an art, not just entertainment. The kind of dancing Isadora wanted to do was new and different from other dances at the time. And she wanted to live by her own rules, not by what other people thought was right or wrong. Isadora wanted to make dancing her life’s work. She said it restricted her from dancing and thinking about the arts. Young Isadora believed this was all the education she needed. Mary Duncan taught her children about music, dancing, the theater and literature. She began teaching when she was only five years old. Isadora taught dance lessons to local children to earn extra money. Isadora and her brothers and sister were raised by their mother, Mary. Her parents’ marriage ended in divorce when Isadora was three years old. JIM TEDDER: Angela Isadora Duncan was born in San Francisco, California in eighteen seventy-seven. Today Jim Tedder tells about modern dancer Isadora Duncan. MARIO RITTER: I’m Mario Ritter with PEOPLE IN AMERICA in VOA Special English. I’m actually deadening out the high E also and then resolve take the pinky off.Or download MP3 (Right-click or option-click and save link) I’m hitting the base note and the rest of the chord. Now we’re gonna reach the thumb over and play the base note there on the 7th fret and I like to deaden out the 5th string partly again why it sounds differently on the bar chord. Then to make it suspended, I put the pinky down on the 9th fret that’s on the third string, that’s suspended, pinky off is regular B chord. I’m using the 9th fret from the third, the 8th fret you can see that probably, second finger and first finger is on the 7th fret second string. We’re gonna play it this way – third finger on the 4th string, second finger on the third string and first finger on the second string. It actually has a 7th in it that’s why it sounds slightly different and then when I resolved, I take my pinky off and that makes the actual B chord. I’m just (1:54) on the 7th fret, put my pinky over there on the 9th fret on the 4th string and that’s a BSus4. As a matter of fact, there’s nothing wrong with playing like this (strumming) or suspended (strumming) resolution. It looks like this with the pinky right there as the 4th when you take it off it’s a third but the (1:42) is just slightly different than Pete Townshend. By the way, we’re making a B suspended 4 and this is a bar chord. We’re gonna put the third finger on the fourth string that’s the 9th fret. In this case it sounds more like The Who so look at the chord. ![]() I prefer not to develop the habit of always have to make a bar chord this way cause it limits me but its fine when I can play a regular bar chord like this and I can reach over just for more variety. Now it’s a good point that there is no absolute wrong or right. Now I taught in videos in the past I don’t like to reach my thumb over the neck but in this case if you wanna sound like Pete Townshend you’ll gonna have to do that. ![]() The real way Pete Townshend plays it in The Who is by sticking his thumb over the neck and playing the base note with his thumb. In the past I’ve shown you the D suspended 4, A suspended 4, E suspended 4 these were all open chords. 1:42 Edit Okay so this is a little more complex suspended 4th chord. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But this comes without any loss of quality. The new variable line-width approach to slicing means fewer toolpaths, which means shorter print times. With the new slicing engine in Ultimaker Cura 5.0, however, print quality and printing speed have both been improved. And if you want to improve the quality, it usually comes at the cost of speed. If you increase the speed, you reduce the quality. With 3D printing, there’s normally a trade-off between speed and quality. Faster Printing Without Sacrificing Quality Instead of trying to make objects a specific dimension by combining lines of a fixed width, Cura now has the flexibility to vary the line width to achieve the exact dimensions needed without compromising quality. In addition to being a more efficient toolpath that results in shorter print times, this approach also improves strength and dimensional accuracy. You can clearly see the difference between Cura 4.13 and Cura 5.0 here. ![]() In the image below, red indicates outer walls, green indicates inner walls, and yellow indicates infill. With Cura 5.0, the line width is adjusted to minimize gaps and to avoid those tiny bits of disconnected infill. With older versions, Cura would maintain a constant line width and would try to fill in gaps the best it could with infill. The most notable change is the incorporation of variable line widths. They made optimizations to the algorithms that result in higher print quality, stronger prints, and shorter print times. A New Slicing Engine with Variable Line Widthsįor Ultimaker Cura 5.0, the Ultimaker team completely redeveloped the slicing engine. In this video, we take a look at the exciting new features in this release. Ultimaker Cura introduces an entirely new slicing engine that offers higher-quality, stronger printed parts with significantly reduced printing times. We’re going to take a look at those specific changes in this video below and we’ll show you some comparisons of the old slicing engine versus the new one. With version 5.0 they have completely redeveloped the slicing engine in a way that offers immense benefits for existing 3D printer users. Ultimaker Cura has always been a big part of that because the Ultimaker team has done a great job of doing regular updates and continuing to introduce great new features. You know one of the things that have always excited me about 3D printing is the fact that you can invest in a 3D printer and then it continues to get better over time as new materials are released and software continues to get better. As of the date of this post, Ultimaker Cura 5.0 is still in beta, so depending on when you’re reading this, the stable release may or may not be available. It’s here! Ultimaker Cura 5.0 is finally here! This exciting release introduces an entirely new slicing engine and offers major improvements for existing 3D printer owners. ![]() ![]() ![]() Eleanor Of Aquitaine - England and France He mass-produces cavalry instead of infantry, making him more suited to decisive battles than city sieges, but that suits him just fine thanks to the Byzantine Taxis ability.īasil requires an aggressive play style that steers toward a Domination or Religious Victory, but his Tagma and Tanks are more than capable of getting the job done. This Byzantine Emperor plays similarly to Lincoln, but with a much heavier focus on Religion. Each is still perfectly capable of reliably winning games, either through a flexible approach or by focusing on a single Victory Condition Basil These Leaders are still among the game's most powerful, but didn't quite make the cut for top five. He takes a little while longer to get going than the other S-Tier Leaders, but once he does, watch out! Why not get bonuses for both? Yongle's Lijia ability lets him build a juggernaut of an economy on the backs of large cities. Yongle - Chinaįood is vital, and Production more so. Without Production, you can't do much else, but as Victoria proves, if you have an overabundance of Production, you don't need much else!Īs long as she can keep her population growing, Victoria can quickly build anything and everything that she might need. Production is the single most important thing in the game, and the new version of Victoria released in the Rulers of England pack excels at making it. If you're playing on Deity and Khmer is on the map, always expect them to be one of the top contenders thanks to their amazing confluence of bonuses! Victoria (Age of Steam) - England The Khmer Domrey is a fantastic mid-game unit, letting Jayavarman conquer or protect territory as he wishes. His ability to build enormous, populous cities bolstered by his Religion makes him much more versatile than the game's other Faith-focused Leaders. There's no leader better at feeding their people than Jayavarman. Keeping the peace and building large cities lets Amanitore easily pursue any Victory Condition she likes, further solidifying her place among the top five. Nubian Pyramids can rack up incredible tile bonuses if the surrounding area is correctly developed, so its no wonder that Nubia is a common pick.Īmanitore also has built-in defenses against early Barbarians, thanks to the incredible Pitati Archer. The Queen of Nubia is the best pick for players who like to carefully plan out their cities. If you're going for a Domination Victory, you can't do better than the man in the stovepipe hat! Amanitore - Nubia With Industrial Zones that churn out state-of-the-art melee units every time they get a new building, Lincoln has the ability to fight and win nearly any war he chooses.

Updated by Matt Arnold: Unless there are any more surprise DLC packs, it's safe to say that Civilization 6's leader lineup won't be getting any more changes. This was a tough list to make, as there are a lot of leaders in Civ 6 now and most of them are quite good!

Animal Crossings Wildlife Crossings Bridges For Animals Animal Bridges In The World EcoductAbout VideoHello Friends, welcome to my Youtube channel Tr. To passing motorists, the overpasses look like any other highway bridge. The most common forms of wildlife crossing are bridges and overpasses, tunnels, viaducts and culverts. The primary culprit: roads and highways.īighorn sheep near an overpass on U.S. Banffs first two wildlife overpasses were built in 1996 at a cost of 1.5. Scientists have already found that mountain lions in Southern California are becoming inbred because of lack of genetic diversity. Wild animals in Southern California soon will have more turf to roam thanks to the world’s biggest wildlife crossing, which will span 10 lanes of Highway 101 in northwest Los Angeles to close a. If they can’t do that, their mating options will be limited, resulting in a less diverse mix of genes and, over time, an inbred population. For one thing, roads may also thwart their pursuit of shelter, food and water.Īnother issue: animals that find their path blocked by a highway or tall fence might not be able to reach others of their kind. In the case of grizzly bears, he said it can be about five years before they feel comfortable using an overpass, while elk have been known to use an overpass before it’s completed. Even when no collision happens, roads and other human-made obstacles threaten wildlife at the population (and potentially even species) level. Of course, while tragic, these traffic fatalities are only an acute manifestation of a much larger problem (black bears actually do their best to steer clear of cars and trucks-research suggests they're well aware of the dangers of crossing roads, and try to pick less-busy areas with lower speed limits). ![]() ![]() ![]() Executive Offices Show submenu for “Executive Offices””.Administration Show submenu for “Administration””.I’m grateful each and every year on this anniversary for the opportunity to remember how so many citizens, young and old, from all walks of life and all stations, responded with a powerful, enduring determination to help America recover and rebuild – and how, to this very day, this memory can serve to remind us that even in the darkest of days, Americans face a future of hope, that the fundamental American values of decency, fortitude, generosity, and strength will help us carry on and keep this region, this state, and our nation strong. On this 21st Anniversary, I also join in recalling how so many emergency services volunteers, not-for-profit organizations, school classrooms, business leaders, and individual citizens and communities from across the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes regions responded in such strong, uplifting ways in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks. The Veterans Crisis Line can be reached by calling 988 (then press 1) or texting 838255. The nation’s Veterans Crisis Line is available around the clock to connect with caring and qualified responders with the Department of Veterans Affairs, many of whom are veterans themselves.

We know that too many of America ’s veterans are struggling today, in crisis, and, tragically, too many of these heroes are taking their own lives. ![]() As events continue to unfold across the world, our veterans and their families must know that as a nation, we value, we respect, and we honor their remarkable service and sacrifice.Įvery day they remind us that America ’s fundamental values cannot be overcome, and we thank them. We reaffirm our pride in this nation’s servicemen and servicewomen, and we keep all of them and their families in our thoughts and prayers – including those young men and women whom we’ve lost from here at home, and their families, friends, and loved ones. We pay tribute, again, to the heroic bravery, courage, and selflessness of the rescue and recovery workers – the firefighters and police officers, every first responder and every citizen who gave their lives, and those who spent week after week after week at Ground Zero in homage to the ultimate sacrifice of their fellow men and women. So we honor the memory of 9/11's victims and continue to keep their families in our prayers. During this 21st Anniversary year, we will share the history and lessons learned with a new generation, teach them about the ongoing repercussions of the 9/11 attacks, and inspire the world with memories of our fortitude, strength, and resilience.”įrom east to west, from north to south, Americans will undertake their responsibility and duty as citizens to remember Septemat the memorials that dot this great land of ours - like we have since that day, and like we always must.įor this generation, to this very moment, September 11th evokes such a difficult mix and range of emotions, yet one of the most powerful reminders of all is this one: we are Americans and above all else, in the toughest of times, we will ultimately stand together in aid, in comfort, and in determination. ![]() Today, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum stands as a beacon of healing and renewal – a physical embodiment of the compassion we showed to one another, the resolve we demonstrated to the world, and how, in the face of unfathomable loss, we rose as one.

After two months I have actually canceled my Spotify subscription. I subscribed to Amazon HD and have never looked back. ![]() Loved the sound quality upgrade of Tidal but hated loosing access to so many tracks. sure it all depends on your listening preferences but here is my take. Myself and many others feel like that if you factor in the time and money saved by using a High Res streaming service it is hands down one of the best monthly "investments" you can pay for in this hobby to keep your ears happy and your life simple.But if you give it a honest trial, I think you will have a hard time going back. Or you do not listen to many new albums per month then it might be a better value to not have a streaming service. Do I plan on shutting down my media server? No! Do I still buy albums? Indeed!! There are a few albums that simply are not available on a streaming service.Unless I were to sacrifice the quality and variety of listening that I currently enjoy. Is collecting fun? Yes! Is a large collection of physically owned media awesome? Absolutely!! But if I were to cancel my music streaming service I would spend many more hours slaving away hording and organizing than actually listening.By using a streaming service I have discovered a whole new world of music that otherwise I would have never known existed. By listening to curated playlist and the variety of artists radios offered by a streaming service I have discovered more music that I enjoy than I ever imagined was possible.If I were to cancel my music streaming service, my monthly bill would be astronomical if I were to continue enjoying the wide variety of content I currently listen to each month. I currently listen to a lot more than two new albums per month. To me this is around the equivalent of two new albums. The cost of a High Res streaming service varies, but in general $15-$25 is a standard monthly rate.Not to mention that server maintenance / cost and network issues are never fun. I simply no longer have the time that it takes to keep a large personal collection organized.Here is how I justify paying for a streaming service. I have collected albums and maintained a personal Subsonic server for years. Neither! With all that money you are throwing away each month, you could be building a physical record and cd collection that you can call your own. And for me, Tidal Connect sounds “cleaner” than Airplay through Quboz due to, what I can best communicate, interpretation of a lower noise floor. Tidal Connect is also much more responsive than using Airplay, which seems to have a lag when skipping songs, music selection, and volume control through Quboz. The ability to stay within the Tidal app to control my streamer (volume, create playlists, discover new artists) vs using the streamer’s user interface (limited related artist data) is not only convenient, but much more enjoyable. Tidal Connect, like Spotify Connect, really is a game changer for me. Qubuz’s greatest feature for me has been the ability to look up an artist’s label, as well explore Qubuz community members playlist - Tidal does not have either of these features.ģ. With this said, music consisted of some pretty deep and eclectic tracks.Ģ. The same playlist was transferred in its entirety from Spotify to Tidal. When transferring a playlist of 240 songs through Soundiiz from Tidal to Qubuz, roughly 30 songs couldn’t be found on Qubuz. Still experimenting, but here’s been my experience:ġ. Given all the praise for Qubuz’s sound quality on this forum I thought I would be adding this service. For the past month I’ve been comparing sound quality and selection between Qubuz and Tidal through an MQA capable streamer. I’ve used Spotify, Deezer, Amazon HD, and Tidal over the years. Fully balanced set up (Nordost) with AQ power cables. Lumin D2 -> Parasound P6 -> Elac Navis ARF 51’s. But do I get the best quality content for the same price? Yes. Is the Qobux UX any better? No, in fact it’s slower. Now is there an improvement in sound quality? No not really. Same with many other artists/albums I love. So I was going to purchase them in higher fidelity on HD Tracks, but learned that Qobuz had them at the highest fidelity. All of the albums on Tidal are CD quality. Here’s an example: Was very excited that the band Tool FINALLY added their collection to streaming services. Today, I tried Qobuz for the first time and I’m blown away by the selection of 24bit 96khz files compared to Tidal. All of my source, preamp, and dac purchased had the prerequisite that they must be MqA compatible. I’ve been a die hard advocate of MqA and Tidal for the last few years. Yes I realize the Qobuz is misspelled in the title but I can’t figure out how to update it. ![]() |
