The following examples have been created with Cubase SX 2, but should be adapted easily to other sequencers featuring automation functions. ![]() And GA more than adequately fits this role, with the added benefit of modern, computer-based sequencers, allowing you to edit, automate etc. If there’s indeed already a bunch of software drumsamplers like LM-4, Battery 1/2, DR-008, RM-IV, Ezdrummer, BFD and others, as far as I know, GROOVE AGENT was the first one trying to emulate the typical Drum-Machine paradigm : on the one hand, different drumkits at your disposal, and on the other hand, predefined patterns and fills in various styles and being able to put those patterns together to create a complete rhythm track/arrangement. And now of course we have access to fully equipped, DAW computers, and we’re slowly replacing the old‚ magic boxes with software programs such as Groove Agent. So it just seems normal that people are trying to create artificial drumtracks with synthesizers or replacing acoustic drums by drum-machines and samplers in the studio. Whatever the kind of music you’re into, acoustic or electronic, drums are the driving force behind all musical styles and tendencies. In our so called Modern Music there’s one instrument which is really ubiquitous : introducing Drums ! It’s being published here with their very kind permission. Both can do the job.This article was first written for the late MusicRun magazine. Big time saver I find the envelopes and other setting to be so confusing compared to Battery 4. Kits - Groove Agent has more kits, though you can customise the three kits in EZ with different drums and cymbals making it effectively limitless.įor Interface and groove quantity EZ wins but Groove Agent is free (with Cubase). Huge advantage for Groove Agent SE 4 is that you can drag and drop up to 8 samples on a pad (from Cubase) and it automatically assigns velocity switched layers. If you want patterns EZ has more and betterĮditing: EZ has a built in MIDI editor though you can easily use the Cubase midi so perhaps redundant. My only caveat, the drummers they use on both GA and EZ were not Vinnie Coilutas, decent, just not premier league.īoth have search (genre, time signature etc.)īPM only matters insofar as some grooves only work close to their intended bpm so more patterns at all bpm's is an advantage. A couple of in demand guys even had two trucks and kits so they could do multiple sessions in a day! These guys turned up to a session in an artic truck with roadies to set up. Steely Dan, those audiophile magicians, knew how important a drum groove was, they hired the best session drummers of the day (Gadd, Purdie etc.). Roku Replacement Remote 3 for Roku Streaming Media Players Only 1/2/3/4 LT HD. That'll get your track started but, if you want to breathe life into a track you need more options. Step 1 Remote Control Battery Flip the remote over so that the buttons are. OK, the default drum pattern is Kick on 1 and 3 and snare on 2 and 4. This saves a fuck load of time - if you have some keys or a bassline in MIDI which I often do, usually starting with keys or a rhythm guitar track then adding keys next. Just drop some MIDI and it will analyse and suggest matching groove. ![]() EZ has BandMate/Tap2Find that makes your workflow so much faster. With GA it's trial and error, previewing one at a time. I am a big NI fan, but Groove Agent 5 is miles ahead of Battery 4 IMO, and if they release Groove. I'm on the brink of selling Maschine now. Maschine is great but the routing/workflow with Studio's sequencer is a bit tedious and now with S1v4 many of the same things can be directly in the DAW with the patterns. First of all I have Maschine, Battery, Groove Agent and now Impact XT. You rarely write a song from drums first so finding a groove to match your song is important. Until NI comes up with Battery 5, which does not look to be the case at least until Komplete 14, I have found a new love in Steinberg's Groove Agent 5, which I will be picking up during their next sale. I'll second Groove Agent as being a really nice option here. It does everything I want but I was getting in a rut with it so I just bought EZ Drummer 3.īoth software I paid for, so I am impartial More is therefore better, but what if you have to choose? First rule of music software - no one has a monopoly - all software has one good sound.

![]() Spring wheat plants stunted by drought stress near Larimore, North Dakota. Wheat scorched by heat, waterlogged by rains Going into this growing season, Sumner says tomatoes reached the highest contract prices on record – about $100 (£86) per ton compared with last year’s record $90 (£78) per ton.Īs temperatures increase in current tomato-producing regions, like California and Italy, the plants may no longer thrive, and growers could begin shifting their work to cooler climates, like northern California and China. The high demand and reduced supply are reflected in tomato prices. ![]() But researchers predict that the global supply of processing tomatoes could fall by 6% in the next 30 years due to climate change.Įven though tomatoes are “an incredibly efficient user of water”, Sumner said, the drought “was even worse than people could have imagined”. In August, the USDA forecasted that California would only grow 10.5m tons of tomatoes, down 10% from its estimates at the beginning of the year, as drought causes them to dry up on the vine.Ĭalifornia usually produces about 30% of the world’s processing tomatoes – the tomatoes used in paste, sauce and ketchup. Tomatoes, dried up by the heat, hang from a vine on a farm in Los Banos, California. This past year marked California’s fourth in a row facing drought.Īccording to a report published by Sumner and his colleagues at UC Davis, California’s Sacramento River valley – which usually exports about half its rice to China and Japan – is facing a $1.3bn (£1.1bn) economic loss, with 14,300 agricultural jobs lost. Although rice growers generally have very senior water rights, which means they’re the first ones entitled to any available water, there just wasn’t enough water for growers to make it through a season, he said, so many opted not to plant. “Reservoirs were so low and the snowpack was so bad that literally half the crop was unplanted,” said Daniel Sumner, professor of agricultural economics at UC Davis. According to the California Rice Commission, only 250,000 acres of rice will be harvested this year, about half of a typical season. In California, rice farmers sowed the lowest number of seeds since the 1950s. And this year rice had a particularly tough growing season. Just three crops – rice, wheat and corn – provide nearly half of the world’s calories. ![]() This year, a lack of water in the state meant many farmers opted not to plant. ![]() Irrigation water runs along a dried-up ditch between rice farms in Richvale, California, in 2014. “We’re an industry that’s at the mercy of the weather.” Rice left unplanted amid drought In some areas, the storm didn’t just cause fruit to fall, but entirely uprooted or flooded trees.Īlthough this storm was particularly devastating, he adds that Florida citrus growers have weathered difficult hurricane seasons before, such as Hurricane Irma in 2017. And the impact of Hurricane Ian may not yet be over, Royce said. This would be the smallest harvest since 1943. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) predicted that the state will produce 28m boxes of oranges this season, down 32% from the previous season. Florida orange growers were already facing a challenging year as greening disease, an invasive bacterium that thrives in warm climates and can kill trees and cause fruit to drop early, hit their plants. Royce reports that in some counties growers have lost as much as 80% of their fruit. The hurricane “came right up through the heart of the citrus belt”, said Ray Royce, executive director of the Highlands Citrus Growers Association. Photograph: Chris O’Meara/APĪfter Hurricane Ian ripped through Florida’s Gulf coast counties in late September, citrus growers in the state’s main agricultural counties began reporting that 50% to 90% of their fruit had been torn off the trees by high winds and rain. Oranges rot on the ground at Roy Petteway’s citrus and cattle farm after they were knocked off the trees from Hurricane Ian in Zolfo Springs, Florida. ![]() ![]() Users then donate the tokens to reward their favorite publishers and creators via the integrated Brave Payments system. Users who download Brave are granted tokens ( Basic Attention Tokens, or BAT) every month through the integrated wallet of the browser. By removing intermediaries, Brave resets the current broken digital advertising system that is penalizing publishers. The Brave browser provides an ad-free experience to its users, but its model is to reconnect publishers with ad-blocking users and reward them both. “With the ongoing privacy invasions from technology giants that make a living by exploiting user data, people need tools to fight back and take a stand to protect themselves.” “By combining Brave and Qwant, users can enjoy the Web in a way that does not violate their privacy,” added Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave Software. “We are very pleased that Brave has chosen to make Qwant the default search engine in France and Germany.” “Brave is a daring browser that innovates both technologically and economically, with a real ambition to create a sustainable ecosystem for the Internet,” said Eric Leandri, President and co-founder of Qwant. For Qwant and Brave users, this association offers the choice of a coherent and complementary solution at the service of their private life and for independence from the digital giants. Qwant and Brave are aligned in regarding the user as a person who must be respected and not as a product that can be exploited, for a more sustainable Web that respects its users and offers them the privacy by default they demand.

Over the weekend of September 23-24th I flew up to San Jose to table at the Alternate Press Expo with my friend Yang, who is a fellow game developer/engineer and comic artist.You get what you pay for. She makes the shoujo manga Red Reminiscence which you can read on Webtoons. Read on to find out how I prepared for this convention and my thoughts on APE.ĪPE: This Mortal Coil Booth Alternate Press Expo: A Big Comittment I've never exhibited or sold my own art before, and this is the story of how I did that and how I almost didn't make my #1 best selling book of the weekend, that is my comic The Rabbit and the Moon. I spent the last two and half months preparing for the Alternate Press Expo. ![]() Yang and I talked about it as far back as March of this year. I might have hesitated at the idea when she introduced me to it, but in the end I said yes. What would my table look like? What else would I have to prepare that I didn't know about? Would I be mentally prepared for this?Įven though I agreed to it, I still harbored a strong sense of doubt. "Why am I even doing this?" I think a lot of my self-doubt comes from years of asking that question as I worked on This Mortal Coil. In the end I'm proud of my work, but it's a tempered, battered kind of pride. It's not a perfect story, not even close. ![]() I cringe at the awful dialogue (not all of it, but some of it). Some pages look terrible, but I think in almost every respect I improve as I go along. I fought off perfectionism and focused on shipping. I learned how to solve my production problems, cut content, and tighten things up as I made my comic. The work was hard (and fun), but it was the mental gymnastics I put myself through that was harder. When you get a few years into a project and you don't have a sense of validation good or bad about what you're doing, it becomes a hard sell, even to yourself as to why you should continue. You could be doing almost anything else, why this? Nobody asked for it. Somehow I always convinced myself to continue. I was always more drawn to the characters and their potential, the art style, and the story I was crafting. I argued this with myself nearly everyday and though I have the fruit of all that labor, what I remember is the doubt. I often forget that there is positive praise for This Mortal Coil from peers and friends. When I check my analytics I'm always glad to see someone come by and binge read the comic. Yes, it's not all terrible, but leading into July, my first thought was, "This Mortal Coil will never sell." I answer the few comments left behind as well. Social Media also fueled this lack of validation and a blow to my ego. ![]() We'll be happy to see you in new Alawar projects.While you don't have to rescue the missing people in Persona 3 Portable, we'd definitely recommend it - you'll save your social links, gain EXP, earn an achievement/trophy for rescuing everyone, and net some sweet rewards along the way.

Cases of Perforation / Acute / Chronic appendicitis were excluded from further evaluation. Old registers were searched for the keyword “Appendix” in the organ column and the corresponding entry in the diagnosis column was looked at. ![]() For such studies, institutional review board permission is waived off in our institute. No new test was performed and patient anonymity was ensured. Only microscopic re-evaluation of archival glass slides with tissue from vermiform appendix was performed. Our retrospective cross-sectional study encompasses cases that have been diagnosed in our institute over a period of about ten years (January 2007 - April 2017). Hopefully, our cases also reinforce that dismissing the organ at the operating/grossing table may sometimes at least, be at the patients’ peril. This bouquet of select cases we hope, serves as a reminder for the surgeons and pathologists to the multitude of lesions possible in the appendix. While the lesions we will discuss are not very uncommon, the situations surrounding the diagnosis, for the most part, are. Our article pertains to a series of some incidentally detected or unsuspected appendiceal lesions diagnosed over the past decade at our institute. However, once in a while, for those that care to dig, its little chamber of secrets does provide the odd surprise reminiscent of a jack-in-the-box toy. Often condemned to the last pages of chapters, for surgeons and pathologists alike appendix embodies a troublesome organ notoriously prone to inflammation and perforation. The appendix is considered an appendage of little value, its name probably derived from the synonym implying a postscript or supplement. Each specimen must be treated as harboring a potential pathology, until microscopically proven otherwise because missed “rare” diagnoses could delay therapy or alter key management decisions as cancer staging. ![]() Sampling and histopathologic assessment of the appendix should be compulsory, careful and representative. Histopathology comprised, among others, neoplastic entities such as (Diffuse large B-cell) lymphoma, metastasis, carcinoid as well as interesting non-neoplastic diagnoses such as pinworm infestation (in the elderly) and (post-menopausal) endometriosis. Among these, 25 had a normal-appearing appendix and 27 were not suspected on radiology or on clinical/surgical assessment. Among the recorded rare diagnoses, one representative case each, based on interesting history or pathology, was selected for discussion.įorty-three lesions were found to meet inclusion criteria comprising 12 varied etiologies. ![]() Our aim was to screen the histopathologic spectrum of appendix lesions observed in our hospital for rare, incidental or clinico-radiologically uncertain lesions that would help emphasize a necessary seriousness in its sampling.Īll appendectomy specimens over ten years were screened for diagnosis other than acute/chronic/resolving appendicitis and pseudomyxoma peritonei. It is only recently, with data indicating its importance in gut immunity and as the origin of pseudomyxoma, that its space in a human body appears vindicated. The appendix is considered an appendage of little value and is often treated disdainfully, be it as part of evolutionary process, on a grossing table, under a microscope or while archiving specimens and slides. |
