![]() Character models, units, buildings, environments and so on have been remade from the ground up, showcasing the likes of Jaina Proudmoore and Arthas Menethil in stunning detail. Battle animations aren’t being significantly upgraded, taking the same number of frames in Reforged as they did in the classic version. But other features like 4K resolution support allow one to truly appreciate the crisp new visuals. To that effect, numerous cutscenes and cinematics have been revamped as well. This is best seen in the intro cinematic “The Prophecy” with all assets being redone and looking higher resolution with incredible texture quality. However, even the in-game interactions have seen some significant upgrades. ![]() Instead of Uther and Arthas standing around in a fixed perspective shot with talking heads and dialogue boxes, there’s now detailed facial and body animations with mid-shots of their character models. Even something as simple as Jaina leaving Arthas is now presented as a cinematic scene with camera cuts and the like. Reforged will have the same campaign by and large but some maps are seeing hefty changes. The Supreme Court’s recent decision, McCutcheon v FEC, granted further political influence to the 1 percent, enabling them to spend as much as they wish influencing political campaigns.The Culling of Stratholme, for instance, is different from the original game. It followed the Court’s 2010 ruling, Citizens United v. Some wonder if this is not a 21 st century form of buying an election? FEC, allowing the rich to spend unlimited sums on political advertising. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) lamented the toll these decisions will likely have on American popular democracy. He added, “this process - a handful of the wealthiest people in our country controlling the political process - is called ‘oligarchy.’” “If present trends continue, elections will not be decided by one-person, one-vote,” he warned. Sanders acknowledged the potential consequences of the Court’s decisions: “The great political struggle we now face is whether the United States retains its democratic heritage or whether we move toward an oligarchic form of society where the real political power rests with a handful of billionaires, not ordinary Americans.” The contemporary concept of oligarchy was popularized by the Russian experience. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, innumerable state companies were privatized. The country was in disarray and, in an effort to stabilize the economy, the Yeltsin government “redistributed” state-owned enterprises to trusted cronies. They came to wield unprecedented power over the economy, the state apparatus and the mass media. The term “oligarchs” is gaining currency in the U.S. Who are these oligarchs and how do they different from today’s plutocrats? And how does this generation of oligarchs differ from previous generations of the superrich who, over the last century, have dominated American politics? Sanders defined them as “a small number of very wealthy families who spend huge amounts of money supporting right-wing candidates who protect their interests.” He means to differentiate this “small number” from the larger world of the rich and superrich, the plutocrats, who – as a class – have long exercised considerable influence on the U.S. Oligarchy is defined as “government by the few” and came into English use around 1570. ![]() Plutocracy is derived from the Greek ploutos meaning “wealth” and kratos for “govern.” The term derives from two Greek words: oligos meaning “few” and arch for “rule” similar English-language terms include monarch or hierarchy. ![]() Additional promotions were needed to secure the music world’s acceptance of A=440Hz that was perceived as less pleasant, or dull when compared with other frequencies described below. In Europe, the initial effort had near zero impact. In 1910, motivated by a grant provided by the Rockefeller Foundation for the American Federation of Musicians, the initial effort to institute A=440Hz standard tuning had limited success in America. The introduction of electronic sound for stage, screen, and television did not proceed fluidly. ![]() Look that up sometime too.įor all serious artists and musicians it'd be worth searching Google for "528hz" and "Solfeggio Frequencies" as well, if you're interested in God sounds.įor all you other "know it all" master musicians, keep tuning to 440 and sounding like ****. You think Pink Floyd tuned to 440? Yeah right. It's your "standard" tuning.ĭid you know John Lennon's Imagine was recorded in A=444? Or that's what Paul McCartney is playing in live these days? Hey, keep tuning to standard, those guys don't know anything. You ever notice when you tune a guitar perfectly to A=440 and it still never sounds that good? Sounds harsh? Kind of warbly? It's not your cheap guitar. 528hz is the same frequency scientists use to repair DNA. On the flip flop tuning to A=444 makes your "C" 528hz. Why would somebody write something like that? Time to wake up, peeps! ![]() It's called "Musical Cult Control: The Rockefeller Foundation's War on Consciousness Through the Imposition of A=440 Standard Tuning." If you are a good reader, I would suggest looking at this: Should tell you something, if you're used to thinking for yourself. That aside, people will realize eventually that A=444 is the magic stuff and unless you've tuned up to it and recorded tracks that way you'll just never understand how bad you sound in regular 440.įor the record all you "Standard Tuners" are tuning A=440 which was first introducedīy Joeseph Goebbels as standard pitch for the Nazi military. I don't use Logic, but just change your master pitch, or the individual pitch on each music track +.156 cents. To answer your question, how to pitch music that was recorded in 440 to 444(528=c) is simple. Hi! Pay no attention to these mediocrities who are uneducated on this subject-you have definitely found the holy grail of sound. I officially close this discussion on my end. I gave up my music hobby and went full time into research on various fields that the "higher learning" institutions do not teach. In stead of paying $1 at this site to change my songs from the 440Hz harmonics to 528Hz from the website () I am using Logic I purchased years back and never got around to using it till now. There is much more to the purpose to why I was asking and it isn't just music, its resonance of the body since we are made up of water and minerals (we are basically biological chemical crystals) which in turn vibrate at a specific frequency and have effects not on your body but your mind set as well. The change is noticeable but of my research shows your body resonates much better to 442-443 ish range which is close to the harmonics of 417&528. As for me I tinkered around with Logic and changed my Settings button which in it has the Audio section and reset that to 488 and the Tune section as well to roughly 443 ish. Im not realy looking to move the tone or freq to 528Hz but the harmonics to it. I apologise for not being specific and not doing more homework before I started this discussion. ![]() ![]() Because embers are typically burnt leaves and thus small and lightweight, they can easily become airborne. At that point they are called ashes.Įmbers play a large role in forest fires, wildland fires or wildland urban interface fires. Once the embers are completely 'burned through', they are not carbon as is commonly believed (carbon burns, and is not normally left behind), but rather various other oxidized minerals like calcium and phosphorus. The small yellow, orange and red lights often seen among the embers are actually combustion the combustion is just not happening at a fast enough rate to create a flame. It continues to stay hot and does not lose its thermal energy quickly because combustion is still happening at a low level. This happens because the usable chemical energy is so deep into the center that air (specifically oxygen) does not reach it, therefore not causing combustion (carbon-based fuel + O2 → CO2 + H2O + C + other chemicals involved). This is because embers radiate a more consistent form of heat, as opposed to an open fire, which is constantly changing along with the heat it radiates.Īn ember is formed when a fire has only partially burnt a piece of fuel, and there is still usable chemical energy in that piece of fuel. They are often used for cooking, such as in charcoal barbecues. Alternatively, embers can be used to relight a fire after it has gone out without the need to rebuild the fire – in a conventional fireplace, a fire can easily be relit up to 12 hours after it goes out, provided that there is enough space for air to circulate between the embers and the introduced fuel. In order to avoid the danger of accidentally spreading a fire, many campers pour water on the embers or cover them in dirt. They radiate a substantial amount of heat long after the fire has been extinguished, and if not taken care of properly can rekindle a fire that is thought to be completely extinguished and can pose a fire hazard. Embers are, in some cases, as hot as the fire which created them. Embers (hot coals) can exist within, remain after, or sometimes precede, a fire. Wikipedia Rate this definition: 0.0 / 0 votesĪn ember, also called a hot coal, is a hot lump of smouldering solid fuel, typically glowing, composed of greatly heated wood, coal, or other carbon-based material. and the world, which count over 5,000 aspiring and professional songwriters in all genres of music as members, Herbison is a member of the Board of Directors at The MLC, where he works to ensure successful implementation of the Music Modernization Act (MMA).

I considered buying an additional modem and using that in bridge mode for the internet traffic but the list my cable company (Cogeco) authorise is only about 6 devices long and most of them are not fast enough or seem to be out of production, or very expensive - like $300+. So really what I want is a way to have the Arris unit in bridge mode but still use Moca. But it still concerns me that the Arris box is sat there NAT'ing traffic and generally getting in the way when I don't need it. So I have had to take the Arris router out of bridge mode, disable wifi and dhcp and everything is still basically working, except for port forwarding which is failing somewhere along the line, thus preventing external access. Everything was going great until I realised that my Tivo mini boxes were no longer operational and then I realised that in bridge mode, Moca doesn't route internally. So I picked up a Google wifi setup and switched the Arris unit into bridge mode and moved all my devices onto the Google Wifi and the cabled devices onto a local switch. The wifi signal strength is awful, frequently requires rebooting, and causes me all manner of network problems. My cable provider supplied Arris TG2472 is an absolutely hateful piece of garbage that I am desperately trying to get rid of, or at least minimise exposure to as much as possible.

![]() Their migration stories, although shared and understood within the Vietnamese community, can be kept private from outsiders. Many came to Georgia through local resettlement programs or to reunite with family members. Despite language barriers and hardships along the way, that generation who fled as refugees and emigrants would open up many of the businesses, nail salons, and restaurants that now dot Jonesboro Road. The Vietnamese population expanded from around 2,000 in 1980 to almost 8,000 by 1990. This number has increased to more than 57,000 Vietnamese in Georgia today. In the decade that followed, the number of Vietnamese in Georgia rose fast. I say, ‘Oh, you Vietnamese?’ They say, ‘Oh, I’m Vietnamese.’ I’m real happy,” Nguyen says. But living on the Southside, with the spread-out, suburban single-family homes and strip malls, he had to work to spot them. “The Northside is very busy.”Īccording to Nguyen, it took some time for the Vietnamese residents south of Atlanta to come together.įorty years ago, when he first arrived in Clayton County and worked for a trucking company, Nguyen recalls hearing there were a few thousand Vietnamese people in Georgia. The Southside people are real quiet,” he says. “The Southside is different from Northside. While the Northside might have more things for young people to do, like going to bars and nightclubs, Nguyen says older people enjoy living south of Atlanta. He bought this building, too, and turned it into the senior center five years ago. For years, he invested in property around Forest Park: restaurants, homes, and a flea market. He has the look of a businessman, with a white button-down shirt tucked into his slacks. Moving around in the background at the Vietnamese Elder Association is Larry Nguyen. It has become a community space and resource for Clayton County residents. Larry Nguyen, above, founded the Vietnamese Elder Association of South Atlanta. ![]() They’ve established their own businesses and developed services to meet their community’s needs. And they’ve become a significant part of Forest Park, representing three-quarters of its Asian residents. In need of a new home, they found it in Clayton County and Forest Park. At that time, many of the elders here became refugees. The flags represent South Vietnam, a country that hasn’t existed since it surrendered to North Vietnam in 1975 following the withdrawal of U.S. Embedded in corners are yellow flags with red stripes. The reason is visible inside the seniors’ association. They were forced to leave their first home in Vietnam. Many of the Vietnamese immigrants who’ve lived in and around Forest Park for decades don’t seem to mind. The Northside community in Gwinnett County, for example, is growing at ten times the rate of the Southside. It gets little attention compared to the larger clusters of Vietnamese residents on Atlanta’s Northside, along Buford Highway, which is widely known for its Asian American restaurants and businesses, and beyond. It’s the third-largest Vietnamese enclave in Georgia, with about 8,700 residents. The seniors here off Jonesboro Road are the bedrock of the Vietnamese community in Clayton County. At banquet tables before the stage, a hundred or so people watch, looking just as happy, as they laugh with each other and beam at the performances. Inside, men and women in their 50s and up take turns on stage, singing and dancing along to decades-old Vietnamese music. They stand in front of a wall-sized collage of heroic-looking images of the Vietnam War, with fighter planes, a military ship, and a smiling Vietnamese couple in uniform at the center. The sound of music, muffled by fans, travels through the building’s open front door. This particular July afternoon is a hot one in Forest Park. The parking lot surrounding the Vietnamese Elder Association South Atlanta fills up on Saturday afternoons.
