![]() A tape recorder would have been a better, more accurate method. Some technical information was difficult to note down accurately . Rarely did I have time to transcribe a direct quotation, so relied on my own fairly rapid paraphrasing, which risks changing the meaning. For example, the notes were not a direct transcription of what the subjects said but consisted of pertinent or interesting information. ![]() However, the reliability of jotted notes alone can be questionable. Not all the information I recorded was relevant but noting what I found informative contributed to my ability to form an overview on re-reading. I found the note-taking process itself helpful, as it ensured that I listened carefully and decoded information. I took some direct observational notes recording what I saw where this was relevant to the research questions and, as I was aiming to get a sense of the culture and working environment, I also made researcher inference notes . They consisted of jotted notes and mental triggers (personal notes that would remind me of specific things when it came to writing the notes up). The field notes were written by hand on lined paper.

While incompatible drivers are the number one culprit of black screen issues, there are also certain applications that may lead to such problems. ![]() In the case of known issues, Microsoft updates the Media Creation Tool to report of possible compatibility problems during the upgrade, so you could use this upgrade method to make sure everything goes as planned. In the case of the October 2018 Update, Intel hardware, in particular, has experienced this kind of problems, and the parent company has even released new drivers specifically optimized for version 1809.ĭetermining whether your drivers are ready for a new OS version isn’t an easy thing, but before the update, you could just check your manufacturer’s website to see if there are any known issues reported.Īlso, if newer drivers are released, you should download them too, as the older the drivers, the bigger the chances for a black screen to happen. Graphics drivers are the ones that need to be optimized for new Windows 10 versions, and in the past, we’ve seen many systems hit by such issues. Incompatible driversįirst and foremost, drivers that aren’t compatible with the new OS feature update are most often the culprit of such bugs. Since the October 2018 Update is no longer available for download, Microsoft has more time to investigate these bugs, though the company’s workarounds don’t always come in handy to everyone.įixing black screen bugs in Windows 10 version 1809 comes down to three different possible reasons triggering the bug, and we’re going to detail them all below. One of them is a black screen glitch that appears to happen on a small set of computers for now, though it goes without saying that only a few PCs can be affected given that the rollout has already been halted. ![]() The experience with Windows 10 October 2018 Update, also known as version 1809, has so far been far from flawless, and aside from the critical issue leading to user data removal, there are many other small bugs in this OS feature update. ![]() Check the price history of the game to determine how good the deal is in relation to historical low offers.

I had decided that the only way was to use tags in order to short the books the way I wanted but while I was playing with Mantano reader I found out that besides tags they also can show up the folders the books are in!

BookFusion is the best cross platform eBook reader and manager with cloud sync that allows you to easily read, organize and manage your eBooks across all. But I find the lack of modern shelve-like UI annoying. Is there a way, an app or something that will allow me to sync books directly to categories on the tablet? or create multiple shelves? For example to have a folder "cooking" and a folder "literature" on the tablet and on dropbox (for example) and sync to the tablet and show up immediately on their respective categories on the ebook reader? or any other application?įBreader was actually my first thought as you can define a folder and then it automatically scans the folder and imports the books (in contrast to most reader that you have to press the button first). I suppose a work around would be tagging but due to the different formats and many files I would prefer to avoid that (not to mention that tags usually do not show up nicely (like in shelves) on the ebook reader) the same goes with most ebook readers that I know. I found out that Mantano reader supports categories but as far as I can tell only manually.

Only the C73R missense mutation is common, occurring in approximately one-third of the CEP alleles studied, whereas the other mutations have been detected in only 1 to 3 presumably unrelated families. These include 24 missense mutations, 1 nonsense, 2 splice site (c.63 + 1G → A c.245-2A → T), 2 deletions, 4 insertions, and 1 complex rearrangement. To date, 38 mutations have been identified in unrelated CEP patients (Human Gene Mutation Database ). The approximately 34-kb human URO-synthase gene ( UROS), located at chromosome 10q25.3-26.3, has 10 exons and 2 alternative promoters that generate housekeeping- and erythroid-specific transcripts 5 that express the same enzyme polypeptide of 265 amino acids (molecular mass ∼ 29.5 kDa). Light activates the photocatalytic URO I and COPRO I isomers, resulting in tissue damage and the formation of bullous cutaneous lesions that rupture, often becoming infected, and lead to bone resorption and cutaneous deformity. The released porphyrins accumulate in tissues and bones and are excreted in the urine and feces. An excess of URO'gen I and COPRO'gen I and their oxidized forms, uroporphyrin (URO) I and coproporphyrin (COPRO) I, primarily in erythrocytes, leads to hemolysis. ![]() ![]() 2, 3 Deficient activity of URO-synthase in CEP patients results in the nonenzymatic cyclization of hydroxymethylbilane to URO'gen I. 1 This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of the linear tetrapyrrole, hydroxymethylbilane to uroporphyrinogen (URO'gen) III, the only isomer of URO'gen that can ultimately be converted to heme. This is the first BPS mutation in the last intron, presumably accounting for the observed 100% intron retention without exon skipping.Ĭongenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of heme biosynthesis resulting from markedly deficient, but not absent, activity of the fourth enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway, uroporphyrinogen III synthase (URO-synthase EC 4.2.1.75). Thus, the BPS mutation markedly reduced the wild-type transcript and enzyme activity, thereby causing the disease. Although the +81-nucleotide alternative transcript was in-frame, it only contributed approximately 0.2% of the lymphoblast URO-synthase activity. RT-PCR revealed aberrant transcripts in both wild-type and CEP lymphoblasts, whereas BPS mutation reduced the wild-type transcript and enzyme activity in CEP lymphoblasts to approximately 10% and 15% of normal, respectively. Sequencing intron 9 RT-PCR products and genomic DNA in each case revealed homozygosity for a novel BPS mutation (c.661-31T→G) and alternatively spliced transcripts containing 81, 246, 358, and 523 nucleotides from intron 9. Northern analyses of lymphoblast mRNAs from 2 patients and reverse-transcribed polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) of lymphoblast mRNAs from all 3 patients revealed multiple longer transcripts involving intron 9 and low levels of wild-type message. ![]() In 3 families with autosomal recessive congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) resulting from uroporphyrinogen III synthase (URO-synthase) deficiency, sequencing the promoter, all 10 exons and the intron/exon boundaries did not detect a mutation. Splicing mutations account for approximately 10% of lesions causing genetic diseases, but few branchpoint sequence (BPS) lesions have been reported. ![]() One of the main concepts of euphonia, sound organization of the speech in the literary text, is instrumentation. Keywords: Homophony idiolect instrumentation polyphony prose rhythm Introduction Text cannot be easily attributed either to polyphonic or homophonic, any piece of work is complex in its structure and only the entwinement of thoughts, ideas, linguistic and stylistic devices enables us to enjoy the art of the narrative and the expression of writer’s thoughts. In terms of the main results of the research we can come to the conclusion that rhythmic figures of speech, which are characteristic of a given author’s idiolect, text peculiarities, allow us to find a solution to the problem of polyphony and homophony to some extent. ![]() In order to facilitate the process of carrying out the analysis we used PRD (ProseRythmDetector) which is a computer-aided application that allows to do the automatic search and quantity analysis of some rhythmic figures. The aim of our research, whose results are outlined in this paper, was to receive the confirmation of the significance of rhythmic figures of speech in the context of defining the multilayeredness of the piece of work from the perspective of its structure: identifying its polyphony and/or homophony. Drawing the analogy to the musical instrument, we have suggested using the term ‘homophony’ for deciphering the text, in other words, for analyzing its “instrumentation” that can be revealed in a different form and with the help of various devices. ![]() In this regard, the term ‘polyphony’ has become widespread in the field of philology. See chapter 1, Fundamental Musical Concepts and Forms, "Texture.Any literary text has a complex multilayered structure, a whole set of ideas, images and means that form them. I referenced the textbook Music Then and Now by Thomas Forrest Kelly to ensure the accuracy of my answer. If this does not answer your question, please be more specific. This question is categorized as "physics" but I am unsure which sort of physical explanation might be sought after specifically in terms of musical textures. You may compare and contrast these explanations to answer your question. A singer and a guitar, for example, are not exactly homophonic, but close. Note that most pieces are not all one texture or another. An example is the section in the "Hallelujah" chorus where the choir sings "And he shall reign for ever and ever." Additionally, Pachelbel's Canon is polyphonic. A good example is the moment in the "Hallelujah" chorus where the chorus sings a series of "Hallelujahs" in the same rhythm.Ī polyphonic texture refers to a web of autonomous melodies, each of which contributes to the texture and the harmony of the piece but is a separate and independent strand in the fabric, so to speak. Homophonic music has one clear melodic line, the part that draws your attention, and all other parts provide accompaniment. An example of monophony is one person whistling a tune, or a more musical example is the clarinet solo that forms the third movement of Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time.Ī homophonic texture refers to music where there are many notes at once, but all moving in the same rhythm. We refer to these overall effects as texture.Ī monophonic texture refers to music with a single melodic line (no harmony or counterpoint) sounding the same thing at the same time-whether played or sung, performed on a single instrument or by a voice or voices and instruments playing in unison. More often we might have several different instruments playing together, each with its bit of melody, or a song that has a chordal accompaniment on piano. Most of the music we listen to consists of more than a single melodic line. ![]() The true bi-amped design means the 12-inch low-frequency and 1-inch high-frequency drivers each has a dedicated amplifier. The Kick 12 is a 400W (peak power), 4-channel amplifier but it’s anything but a normal amp. Alto Professional Kick 12Īlto Professional might not be the first name that comes to mind but they have been making pro audio backline gear for a very long time and they’re very good at it. If you want something bigger in the same price range then look to the Alto Professional Kick 12 below. If you want something smaller, lighter, cheaper, without losing versatility then go for this. The EQ section is very good for shaping your tone and the FBQ system ensures nothing disrupts that nice sound. You can buy keyboard amps of this size under $300 quite easily but not many so versatile. We listed that it could lack power and that’s true for players who want a 200W+ amp but it over-delivers on its 90W output. There are a few contradictory areas with this one. Image credit: Behringer Check Price on Amazon Its size comes with some perks, it weighs in at just over 40 lbs. There is an RCA stereo in to connect any music player plus a subwoofer output to hook up an external sub. The K900FX comes with a 12-inch woofer and a 1-inch tweeter, it may be a small amp but it puts out plenty of noise don’t worry.īeing a smaller amp, it’s surprising how flexible it is. It’s a 3-channel amp with an XLR input for vocals so it’s also a great small PA system. The built-in effects processor comes with 100 presets including all the usual suspects – chorus, delay, reverb, etc. It also comes with Behringer’s proprietary FBQ Feedback Protection System for extra peace of mind on stage. One of the reasons we say that is the 5-band EQ that lets you shape your tone more than some other amps on our list. That’s a simple way to put it but it’s a rather sophisticated and very popular keyboard amp. The Ultratone K900FX is a 90W amp with, as you may have guessed, some built-in effects. The Roland KC-600 is the best keyboard amp right now, in our humble opinion. We know it’s a little pricey but you will get more than your money’s worth out of this one. It’s perfect for practice, performance, and even as a portable PA system for small ensemble rehearsals. The versatility of this amp is another reason we rate it so highly. If you want to go for an even more high-end keyboard amp you could look to the KC-990 but we feel the KC-600 is pound for pound a better choice. The KC-600 from Roland is our highest-rated keyboard amp for a reason, it delivers quality sound across the ranges that is hard to match. Image credit: Roland Check Price on Amazon It weighs approx 63lbs, not exactly lightweight but an improvement compared to the approx 75lbs weight of previous models. One final thing that is worth mentioning is that the KC-600 is lighter than the older KC models (of similar size). The Stereo Link feature is great for the obvious stereo output but also if you need more channels. A stereo AUX input allows you to connect portable music players and a subwoofer output means you can connect an external sub should you want even more bass.Īnother cool feature, albeit an expensive one, is that you can connect 2 KC-600 amps via Roland’s Stereo Link connection. Essentially it’s a very good portable PA system in its own right. The KC-600 is a 4-channel amp with the usual 1/4-inch line inputs along with an XLR microphone input for vocals. Onboard controls include a low/mid/high EQ section so the player can optimize the output to suit their sound. The custom-designed speaker delivers thumping bass and incredible detail/clarity in the mid/high ranges. It is a very efficient 200W amplifier with a 15-inch speaker and horn tweeter. The KC-600 is the second largest of Roland’s KC line and one of the best-selling keyboard amps. ![]() We are kicking things off with the Roland KC-600, a top-quality amp from a company who know keyboards so well. Let’s get started! Here are the best keyboard amps 2023: We will also explain some of the reasons for using a keyboard amp and how to find the best one for you. We are going to review some of the best keyboard amps available in 2023. However, keyboard players often use an amp rather than going straight into a PA system.

Tom was a stoker, then tugboat captain on the Thames, while Ethel raised their six children. Stamp’s parents Tom and Ethel were working class East Enders. And when I thought of my own mum and dad and their real love relationship and how neither of them were ever unfaithful I identified with it more.’ ![]() ‘He told me that I shouldn’t be because he’d written it about his own grandfather “and he was as good looking as you”. ‘I wasn’t as enthusiastic as he was hoping for and he said to me, apropos of nothing, “You’re worried about your looks, aren’t you?” And I thought that was so insightful of him. We did the singing live and I did it in one take.’īut when Stamp first met the director there was tension. And he adds: ‘I only had two lessons for Song For Marion. Stamp says: ‘It was because of him that I began to study the voice. I know you’ve left drama school, but remember as your looks go your voice will become empowered.’ He mimics Olivier in a high-pitched tone telling him: ‘You’ve got a terrible voice. In his first film, Term of Trial (1962), Laurence Olivier criticised his voice. He’s always been drawn to the exciting and the exuberant, the over-the-top and the dark. ‘I originally turned down The Collector - because I didn’t want to be a spotty invisible bank clerk with a snotty nose.’īut he would go on to make his name in Modesty Blaise and as bad boy Sergeant Troy in Far From The Madding Crowd with Julie Christie.Īfter a fallow Eighties his career revived when he played a drag queen in The Adventures Of Priscilla, Queen Of The Desert (1994) and the dangerously vengeful father in Stephen Soderbergh’s The Limey (1999). Perhaps that’s because he has a deep seated fear that he is ordinary. ‘But the other reservation I had with Song For Marion was that I felt I don’t play ordinary very well. I thought the universe had given me a second chance to conquer my fear of singing. ‘By the time I’d heard they’d cast Vanessa to play my wife I knew I wanted to do this film. When the movie came out and I saw Richard Harris do it I thought, “Well, I could have sung it as well as that”. ‘It is one of the few things in my career that I really regret. ‘In the Sixties the director Josh Logan begged me to play King Arthur in the musical of Camelot. ‘I realised it was a wonderful script but immediately had fears about the singing,’ he says. After her death his brittle heart is broken, and he eventually sings in her place. Marion, played by Redgrave, has cancer and finds joy in the local choral group. The film traces the end of the lives of an elderly couple living on a council estate. His latest role in Song For Marion required two terrifying things for him. He’s never talked about the marriage or break-up before. I ask if he is still friends with her? ‘Not really,’ he says. Seriously though, I’d never been married and I thought I would try it, but I couldn’t make a go of it.’ I always said I’ll try anything once other than incest or Morris dancing. Was he incredibly upset about the break-up? ‘Yeah, I was, absolutely. There’s a lot that can happen with the passing of time.’ ![]() She went back to Australia and that’s why I don’t see her, but if I do go there, I’m sure I will. ‘One of the things I’ve learned in life is that it’s very easy to make a lover from a friend but it’s very hard to make a friend from a lover.’ He laughs again, but this time it carries a little pain with it. But they divorced in 2008 on the grounds of his unreasonable behaviour. They married in a low-key ceremony in 2003, and they remained very private. He was working in Sydney and walked in to the pharmacy where she was training as a pharmacist in 1998. His wife, Elizabeth O’Rourke, was 35 years younger than him. To everyone’s surprise that didn’t stop him marrying at the age of 64. Model girlfriend: Terence Stamp pictured with his then girlfriend Jean Shrimptonin 1965 |
