Hence it is said, "Those who know the joy of Heaven during their life, act like Heaven, and at death undergo transformation like (other) things in their stillness they possess the quality of the Yin, and in their movement they flow abroad as the Yang. He overspreads the heavens and sustains the earth from him is the carving of all forms without any artful skill! This is what is called the Joy of Heaven. ![]() He is older than the highest antiquity, and yet is not old. Zhuangzi said, 'My Master! my Master! He shall hash and blend all things in mass without being cruel he shall dispense his favours to all ages without being benevolent. Being in harmony with men is called the joy of men being in harmony with Heaven is called the joy of Heaven. The clear understanding of the virtue of Heaven and Earth is what is called 'The Great Root,' and 'The Great Origin ' - they who have it are in harmony with Heaven, and so they produce all equable arrangements in the world - they are those who are in harmony with men. Doing-nothing, they are honoured in their plain simplicity, no one in the world can strive with them (for the palm of) excellence. (Such men) by their stillness become sages and by their movement, kings. With this retiring (from public life), and enjoying themselves at leisure, we find the scholars who dwell by the rivers and seas, among the hills and forests, all submissive to it with this coming forward to active life and comforting their age, their merit is great, and their fame is distinguished - and all the world becomes united in one. When with this a high position is occupied, we find the attributes of the Dis and kings,- the sons of Heaven with this in a low position, we find the mysterious sages, the uncrowned kings, with their ways. When this is understood, we find such a ruler on the throne as Yao, and such a minister as Shun. Vacancy, stillness, placidity, tastelessness, quietude, silence, and doing-nothing are the root of all things. Where there is that feeling of satisfaction, anxieties and troubles find no place and the years of life are many. Doing-nothing, they devolved the cares of office on their employes, Doing-nothing was accompanied by the feeling of satisfaction. From their stillness came their non-action. From their vacancy came stillness that stillness was followed by movement their movemerts were successful. Resting here, they were vacant from their vacancy came fullness from their fullness came the nice distinctions (of things). Therefore the Dis, Kings, and Sages found in this their resting-place. Vacancy, stillness, placidity, tastelessness, quietude, silence, and non-action - this is the Level of heaven and earth, and the perfection of the Dao and its characteristics. Such is the clearness of still water, and how much greater is that of the human Spirit! The still mind of the sage is the mirror of heaven and earth, the glass of all things. ![]() It is a perfect Level, and the greatest artificer takes his rule from it. When water is still, its clearness shows the beard and eyebrows (of him who looks into it). The stillness of the sages does not belong to them as a consequence of their skilful ability all things are not able to disturb their minds - it is on this account that they are still. Those who clearly understand (the Way of) Heaven, who are in sympathy with (that of) the sages, and familiar through the universe and in the four quarters (of the earth) with the work of the Dis and the kings, yet act spontaneously from themselves: with the appearance of being ignorant they are yet entirely still. The Way of Heaven operates (unceasingly), and leaves no accumulation (of its influence) in any particular place, so that all things are brought to perfection by it so does the Way of the Dis operate, and all under the sky turn to them (as their directors) so also does the Way of the Sages operate, and all within the seas submit to them. ![]() ![]() ![]() The colosseum map, Ix, includes zombie tigers and plate-armored brutes and an entire crowd of cheering onlookers.Īs someone with just a passing appreciation for Zombies, these sorts of visual hooks are my favorite. The Titanic map, titled “Voyage of Despair,” starts with the ship hitting the iceberg and then turns into a zombie-killing brawl across six or seven different decks. These are undoubtedly some of my favorite Zombies maps from a purely aesthetic standpoint. Treyarch’s “Aether” storyline continues for those who are invested in that lore, though to me the bigger draw is the new “Chaos” storyline-a pulpy time-traveling romp that takes players to the Titanic and to a Roman colosseum. Zombies at least stands on its own, and thus is less affected by the lack of a campaign this year. ![]() Instead of grenades you might have a grappling hook or a shield or even a dog buddy. Movement’s faster than in last year’s WWII, and Black Ops 4 brings back “Specialists” from the previous Black Ops game-basically hero-type character classes. Mechanically of course there are some Treyarch trademarks. None of it feels like “Oh yeah, Black Ops.” Some of them are repeats from previous games, but there’s no unified aesthetic. There’s one in some sort of luxury villa, one on a snowy mountain with a gondola, one set in Panama, one in the Vietnamese jungle, one in a little seaside bunker, a Far Cry 5-esque prepper compound with a bombed-out church. What I do know is that every multiplayer map feels like it comes from a different game. I don’t know what was planned for the Black Ops 4 campaign, I don’t know why it fell apart, and I don’t know whether the inclusion of Blackout mode was to blame. The answer is apparently: You don’t bother trying. Little ties the series together except for like, “Weird PSYOPs, man.” IDG / Hayden Dingman Every new ''generation'' of consoles the gaming quality takes a massive nose dive in every department except graphics.Without a campaign to tie it all together I wondered “How do you make it a Black Ops game?” After all, the first Black Ops took place during the Cold War, the second blended Cold War elements with near-future warfare, the third was some sort of virtual reality dreamscape. Corporate gaming is trash and always wiil be trash. It's been 5 months now since the game came out and the only ''updates'' they have done is too find news ways to get even more money from people with ''cosmetics'' (micro transactions). Not even a new map for the original storyline, Mob of the Dead ''remastered'' and 5 ''remastered'' come these scumbags are clearing milking the consumer for every last penny/cent they can get, it's disgusting and has gotten to the point where i don't even know if i want to continue playing computer games anymore. Not to mention it's been 5 months and still only one new map added to the game with the ''Black ops pass'' They took out main staples of the game like JUG for example and added in a new story line which no one cares about (and they continue to make the ''DLC'' maps come out for it) instead of continuing on the storyline that people have followed over 5 games now. Zombies mode is broken as anytime you get near a high round the game crashes. Multiplayer has the exact same problems as Blackout, sure it's been the same since BO2 anyway so no change there, but the one mode that always redeemed the game and never failed to deliver now finally has failed to deliver and that is Zombies. You can sneak up on people and shoot them in the back and it will still be the same, they actually turn around and kill you while you are forced to reload due to using all your bullets ''shooting'' them and either getting zero hit markers or unlimited hit markers the result is the same either way. Hit detection is either not working or if you're ''lucky'' it will be nothing but hit markers while you die from a few bullets from the people you are trying to shoot. ![]() ![]() Blackout Treyarch should just pack it in, Either they are targeting certain people for whatever reason or this is the worst COD ever made.

This project, entitled ‘Classical Improvisation’, was intended to be carried on in the form of the Master Research project, presented here. It all started during the academic year 2012-2013 with a small scale research under the flag of ‘KC teachers’ research’. This research project does not stand alone.

Dr Hans Fidom (VU University Amsterdam)ģ. ![]() Improvising on basis of 19 th-century music making Historically Inspired Improvisation - Improvising on basis of 19th-century music making. Drawing upon the theory of loci communes, I will work out an example of how I think Czerny’s book can still be a valuable source of inspiration today. Czerny turns out to presume skills that are no longer self-evident to musicians of today, while on the other hand issues which are nowadays important are not addressed in his text at all. It is interesting to compare such insights with original treatises on improvisation, especially Carl Czerny’s Anleitung zum Fantasieren auf dem Pianoforte (1829). I will analyse and comment upon this recording, developing the idea of musical ‘loci communes’ which enables us to connect improvisation with the interpretation of a score. In my essay, a recorded student improvisation will be taken as a starting point. In this way, improvisation has the potential to fertilize all our ‘musicking’ (Chr. ‘H.I.I.’ doesn’t necessarily aim for style imitations rather, it works the other way around: integrating what we can use from historical music practices into our own creative music making. I would like to propose the notion of ‘historically inspired improvisation’ instead, indicating improvisation which uses thorough knowledge about music making in the past as a source of inspiration. These terms are not without problems, though. An environment has been created which fosters the idea that improvisation is important for classical musicians, and a lot of experience has been gathered in teaching improvisation to those students.īut what precisely do we mean with the word improvisation? And how exactly do we argue that improvisation is important for the new generations of conservatoire students? Improvisation by classical musicians is often referred to as ‘classical improvisation’ or ‘improvisation in a classical style’. The Royal Conservatoire in The Hague (The Netherlands) invests in ‘classical’ improvisation. In order to become, like musicians from the past, creative performers who are able to enter into a living relationship with the music, learning how to improvise seems to be a valuable means. More and more musicians become aware of the artistic limitations of this approach. ![]() As a result of this attitude the musical languages of the common practice period have become dead languages, more or less like Latin and Ancient Greek, which are (with very few exceptions) no longer spoken actively but only translated into modern languages. This is usually a one way process: without a score there will be no music. The average modern classical musician, the performer of music from the common practice era, tends to perform from scores only, and to treat a score like a text that should be converted into sound as precisely as possible. ![]() ![]() ![]() This entry was posted in Products and tagged Gluten Free List, gluten free products, sunscreen.

Using the built in camera, I can hold up the ISBN bar code. The program allowed me to set up my Library and use a checkbox “Sold” for books I am donating and/or selling. There are too many new titles on my Wish List!īookpedia and the iSight camera on my new iMac have made relatively quick work of a big task. I am always trying to remember, “Have I read that before?” and I was tired of buying duplicate copies. I didn’t want to move along old books until I had cataloged them in some way. My major roadblock to previously cleaning up my books was rooted in good old sentimentality. With another half hour or so for re-shelving, I am beginning to see progress. I’ve been chipping away at the stacks for the past week and this morning cataloged 71 books in just over an hour. I have one wall of bookcases that were double-stacked with books from my past and present lives as student, teacher, writer, researcher, and reader. Bookpedia book cataloging software is helping me tame the monster in my home office. But it does work, and the integrated iOS and MacOS apps and web exporting make it handy to use on all our devices.Most Januarys I get a surge of energy to whip my chaos into shape. (And Michael Palin’s HIMALAYA is in the Office on 6-6).īookpedia has some shortcomings. The whole shelving system is a grid, and Bruji tells me that Eric Valli’s stunning photo book, HIMALAYA, is on shelf 3-4 - meaning, column 3 from the left, row 4 from the bottom. It doesn’t really matter how the books are organized, because I can query Bookpedia, go to that shelf, and find it fast enough.īecause we live in a loft, we built a whole wall system, about 18 feet high, in which the books are grouped by color (which does help me: I remember the color of most of my books pretty well), and we push the books to the back so that knickknacks can be piled in front. Bruji searches through a list of international databases (from Amazon to the Library of Congress and other z39.50 servers), and with a little extra help from Bing or Google image search you can usually find the best cover image and resolve the cataloging bits in a minute or two per book. ![]() Well, until that bit of imaging/AI/webwork is implemented, it’s easy enough to peck in the titles myself. Hey, wouldn’t it be great if you could capture your whole library the way Jeff Martin did with the Strahov Monastery, by shooting a gigapixel image and then using a bit of smart image analysis code to grok all the book spines, index the room, and be able to zoom into each book in the image, click on it, and read a digitized copy on the web? And then I can go through a shelf and add each book by looking up title/author bits. So, I use my iPhone (running iOS 6+) to take a panoramic photo of each shelf, swiping it slowly across so that all the book spines can be read. If your books are new, just scan the ISBN barcodes with the iPhone, zipping through as fast as you can wrangle the books. To build the catalog, we scan a shelf at a time, and add a “Location” field to note which physical shelf it is (e.g., “Upstairs 1-4 is bookcase 1, shelf 4”). Both will get you the book’s cover image and catalog information. There are two methods of input: you can scan a book’s ISBN barcode with the iPhone running Pocketpedia or, you can search for the book (any bit of author/title/ISBN/description), and then resolve the right result. A companion iPhone app, Pocketpedia, syncs with the database so you can keep your whole library catalog handy. Bookpedia runs on a Mac and keeps a database that’s easy to share across your machines, or export in various ways (e.g., put all of your library’s book covers on browsable web pages). We use Bookpedia, by, to index our library. In fact it can be a problem with only a few hundred books. When your home library swells to 3,000 volumes (as ours has), finding a book can be a problem. ![]() ![]() ![]() While brands might differ when it comes to quality, scientific research shows that pure grapefruit seed extract can kill all kinds of infectious microbes and even helps combat common health issues like candida and athlete’s foot. Without a doubt, if you’re going to use a grapefruit seed extract product, you should always read ingredients lists carefully and make sure that you buy from a reputable company. ![]() Grapefruit seed extract, especially when used internally, can be somewhat of a controversial supplement due to a lack of human studies as well as evidence of adulteration of grapefruit seed extract. The main controversy stems from study findings that some commercially produced grapefruit seed extracts contain harmful ingredients like benzethonium chloride and triclosan. Practitioners of alternative medicine say grapefruit seed extract possesses antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties and recommended its use for the treatment of candidiasis, earaches, throat infections and diarrhea. Grapefruit seed extract actually has a different set of benefits almost entirely, but some of them do overlap with the incredible abilities of grapefruit essential oil. This makes sense, considering grapefruit benefits include weight loss, cellulite reduction and immune system enhancement. What if I told you that those grapefruit seeds, particularly in grapefruit seed extract (GSE) form, actually might hold a wealth of health benefits. When you eat a grapefruit, what do you do with the seeds? I’m guessing you spit them out or remove them from the start. ![]() |
