CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — After a pair of back-to-back conference wins, the Hurricanes entered their matchup against North Carolina feeling confident and still chasing one of their goals — the Coastal Division crown.
It took less than 30 minutes for the 23rd-ranked Tar Heels to erase any kind of positive feelings Miami may have had and not much longer to end the Hurricanes' dreams of playing for an ACC title.
North Carolina's offense moved the ball almost at will, its defense forced three first-half turnovers and the Tar Heels dominated a listless and sloppy Miami in a 59-21 win at Kenan Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
With three conference losses, the Hurricanes (6-4, 3-3) are eliminated from the race for the Coastal Division title, while North Carolina — unbeaten in conference play — is in control of the division and could clinch it next week with either a win over Virginia Tech or a Pittsburgh loss at Louisville.
The Hurricanes, meanwhile, will be playing for pride, something they said couldn't be understated after their second blowout loss in three weeks. On Oct. 24, Clemson came to Sun Life Stadium and walloped Miami 58-0, giving Miami the worst loss in school history. A day later, coach Al Golden was fired and interim coach Larry Scott was tasked with trying to help the Hurricanes finish on a positive note.
After this most recent disappointment, Scott reiterated he was committed to helping Miami do exactly that.
"You play for pride, you play for the opportunity, you play for the commitment that you made to your teammates, to this university and to each other," Scott said. "That's what you have to dig deep and play for. Such is life. Everything in life is like that. Once you make a commitment to something, you're committed to it and you have to finish it the right way. That's what we're going to focus in on and making sure guys are doing everything they need to on and off the field to finish our regular season the right way."
Added defensive lineman Calvin Heurtelou, "We've been talking about what we've wanted to do since January. It's really disappointing, but right now, we're bowl eligible. We're also playing for pride. ... There's not a lot of college football games we can play. Take every opportunity you get and give it all you've got. It doesn't matter what we have at stake. It's football. You've got to play football, do what you do, do what you love and we love playing football."
The Hurricanes will get to put that to the test next Saturday when they host Georgia Tech for their final home game of the year, but on this day, they found themselves dealing with many of the same problems that have plagued them all season.
They were penalized 12 times for 103 yards. Their offensive line struggled and quarterback Brad Kaaya, concussed three weeks ago against Clemson, took more big hits while the running game struggled to get anything going consistently. And the defense had few answers for Tar Heels quarterback Marquise Williams, who completed 11-of-16 passes for 105 yards and one touchdown, and rushed 12 times for 101 yards with three touchdowns.
After one of those touchdowns — a 10-yard run in the first quarter — Williams taunted the Hurricanes, throwing up Miami's trademark "U" with his hands, then turning the gesture upside down.
That was just the start of the Hurricanes' long afternoon.
Williams' score was followed by a 1-yard touchdown run from Elijah Hood, another 14-yard run from Williams, and a 78-yard punt return by Ryan Switzer that pushed North Carolina's lead to 31-0 with 40 seconds left in the first half.
In all, North Carolina (9-1, 6-0) rushed for a season-high 298 yards in its win and the 59 points it scored were the most it has ever managed against the Hurricanes in 19 meetings. Its previous high against Miami was 34 in 1952.
And though the Hurricanes managed 21 points — something they didn't do against Clemson — those second-half touchdowns came well after the game was out of reach. Kaaya was 24-of-43 for 326 yards, but he was picked off once and sacked twice. And while Joe Yearby had 13 carries for a team-high 74 yards, the Hurricanes as a whole mustered just 99 rushing yards.
"That was just the mentality, just keep fighting," Kaaya said. "It doesn't matter what happens. We're a family, so we just had to fight for each other."

Falmouth District Court has jurisdiction over Bourne, Falmouth and Mashpee. Orleans District Court covers the remaining towns on Cape Cod, from Brewster all the way to Provincetown. There is only one Superior Court in Barnstable County located in the town of Barnstable.
Those who have been charged with drug crimes in Barnstable County should understand the importance of consulting with a lawyer as soon as possible. Firstly, a Barnstable County Drug Crimes Attorney will be able to explain the charges in understandable terms. Whether you’re accused of possession of marijuana, heroin, cocaine or some other drug, distributing drugs near a school zone, trafficking in drugs, conspiracy to distribute drugs, or any other crime, your attorney will fully inform you of the nature of the charges and the possible consequences. These consequences might be legal or they might be practical consequences relating to your future. Secondly, a skilled lawyer will be able to anticipate how your case will be handled. Next, an attorney will investigate the facts of your case, including the circumstances of your arrest experience, and immediately begin to strategize with you.Recent Barnstable County Drug Cases
The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts recently decided a case out of Barnstable County, in Commonwealth v. Mendes, 457 Mass. 805 (2010), where the defendant sought to reverse his convictions on drug charges including- possession of cocaine with intent to distribute (subsequent offense), possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and possession of a Class E substance with intent to distribute as well as firearm related charges. The defendant argued that his motion to suppress the evidence resulting in his convictions should have been granted because the Barnstable District Court does not have territorial jurisdiction to issue a search warrant over the town of Bourne. In Mendes, a Barnstable police detective applied to the Barnstable District Court for two search warrants for two apartments located in the town of Bourne, as well as the defendant’s vehicle. The Barnstable police department had been investigating Mendes for cocaine distribution and organized crime. A confidential informant, who had previously purchased large amounts of cocaine from the defendant, told the police detectives that one of the apartments was a “stash house” to store cocaine and weapons. The Mendes court held that the motion to suppress was properly denied because when there is probable cause to issue a search warrant, a District Court judge or magistrate is allowed to issue a search warrant for evidence at any location in the commonwealth, regardless of the court’s territorial jurisdiction. The Mendes court reasoned that G.L. c. 276, § 1 makes it clear that the only territorial limit on the District Court’s authority to issue a search warrant is the geographical boundary of Massachusetts and it’s waters.
All drug charges are very serious, and jail time and substantial fines are possible. You will not want to speak with just any lawyer. You should hire a lawyer with a proven track record and an excellent reputation such as Barnstable County Drug Crime Lawyer Stephen Neyman.

With Spanish company Ferrovial tabling a takeover of the company that runs Nauru and Manus, a campaign has begun to #LetThemKnow the moral cost.
Last week, the No Business in Abuse (NBIA) campaign sent out a briefing paper to Spanish infrastructure giant, Ferrovial. The paper warned that if their planned takeover of Australian company Broadspectrum is successful, they’ll become complicit in the ongoing human rights abuses taking place in Australia’s offshore detention centres. Formerly known as Transfield, Broadspectrum is the lead contractor at both the Nauru and Manus Island offshore detention centres. Under its current contract, the company provides operational, welfare and security services.
In November last year, NBIA released an extensive report detailing Broadspectrum’s involvement in offshore detention. It states that since October 31, 2012, the company has received an average of $1.4 million a day of Australian taxpayers’ money to run the centres.
The report charges Broadspectrum with complicity in a range of gross human rights abuses perpetrated upon the approximate 2,000 asylum seekers at the centres. These include arbitrary detention, in inhumane conditions, and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment. It also outlines multiple alleged incidents of sexual assault and child abuse that have been reported at the centres.
“The offshore detention regime wouldn’t be able to function without the participation of businesses like Broadspectrum,” said Rachel Ball, director of advocacy at the Human Rights Law Centre. She went on to explain that the idea that businesses involved in offshore detention are “not making decisions” but are “simply implementing Government policy” is not what’s actually taking place on-the-ground.
Along with NBIA and GetUp, the Human Rights Law Centre produced the investor alert. Ball told The Big Smoke that the document advises Ferrovial stakeholders of “the various risks that would accrue to them if the takeover bid was successful.”
Launched on December 7, 2015, Ferrovial’s takeover bid has been fraught with uncertainty. Broadspectrum rejected their initial offer, stating that it undervalued their business; while last month, Ferrovial said it was reconsidering the takeover, due to concerns over how long Broadspectrum’s offshore detention contract would continue, as it contributes most of the company’s income.
Questions surrounding Broadspectrum’s contract began in October last year when the government granted a short-term extension, rather than the expected five-year renewal. In early February, they were then given a further 12-month extension. At the same time, the Department of Immigration announced Broadspectrum was no longer the preferred tenderer and they would have to compete with another company for the new contract, now to be awarded in late 2016.
However, as of late last week, it seems more likely the takeover could go ahead. Broadspectrum’s shares rose to their highest level in a month, due to an increase in the price of oil. This led investors to suggest that Ferrovial may make a higher bid, while the Spanish company made a further extension to the closing date of their offer until April 4, 2016.
But how effective might the NBIA briefing be in swaying the decisions of Ferrovial and their investors?
This type of shareholder activism has already had an impact in the fight against offshore detention. In August last year, the nation’s sixth-largest super fund, HESTA, divested from Broadspectrum, withdrawing its $23 million stake in the company. Although it was officially stated the super fund made the move because of the financial interests of its members, many surmised it was triggered by the influence of divestment campaigns and union members with HESTA accounts.
According to executive director of NBIA Shen Narayanasamy, it’s important to stress that “indefinite and mandatory detention as a first response to asylum seekers is something only Australia does.” And besides “the fact that it’s horrifically cruel,” it’s also extraordinarily expensive.
NBIA members began formally meeting with superannuation funds, banks and investors in November 2014. Narayanasamy found, when meeting with stakeholders, like HESTA, and informing them of the offshore detention regime, that “they actually said, ‘This is not something we want to touch’.”
Since then, a number of super funds have divested, including NGS Super, and Broadspectrum has still not signed the five-year contract they’d been expected to.
A second part to the NBIA campaign has recently been set up, involving institutions – such as councils, hospitals and schools – taking a pledge not to become clients of the companies involved in running offshore detention. “Over the last month and a half, four local councils across the country have voted to adopt the NBIA pledge and stop contracting with both Broadspectrum and Wilson,” explained Narayanasamy.
Last month, Marrickville council became one of those four. Greens councillor Sylvie Ellsmore put forward the motion to take the pledge. She said it’s had a concrete impact already, as the council actually ended a small contract with Wilson Security, a subcontractor at the offshore detention centres.
Ellsmore believes that the Government has private businesses running the centres, so they can “create arm’s-length,” making them less responsible and maintaining a level of secrecy. “They quite deliberately do that, rather than send in Australian public servants, who have all these other layers of accountability,” explained Ellsmore, the Greens candidate for the seat of Sydney in the coming federal election. “By having a private company, the Government’s trying to remove a lot of that oversight.”
Both Broadspectrum and Ferrovial have not responded to requests for comment.

Your garage door carries a lot of weight. Instead of waiting for it to breakdown, routine maintenance of your garage door can go a long way to save you money and headaches. Check out these six must-know facts about maintaining your automatic garage door.
Don't Replace Springs or Safety Cables Yourself
Check the springs to see if they have become loose, and examine cables for fraying, especially if you notice squeaking or sluggish movement. However, if you do spot a problem, do not attempt to replace springs or safety cables yourself. Contact a professional. The springs in your garage door have a lot of tension behind them. The safety cables are designed to stop them from flying off, but it's better to be safe than sorry, especially if you notice any damage to the safety cables. Damaged safety cables should be handled by a professional too because you'll have to remove the springs in order to remove the cables.
Examine and Clean the Tracks
Debris collects just about everywhere, and the tracks on which your door run are not immune. When maintaining your garage door, make sure to inspect the tracks and remove any leaves, dirt or garbage you find. If there are minor dents or dings in the track that affect the door from running smoothly, you can hammer them out with a mallet, but it is better to leave major damages to a professional, especially if the track is loose.
Replace Worn or Missing Weather-Stripping
Weather-stripping around your garage door is designed to help stop energy leaks, but overtime, this weather-stripping naturally breaks down. Inspect your weather-stripping and replace any areas that seem worn. If you have a wooden garage door, pay particularly close attention to the weather-stripping along the bottom of the door. Wooden doors are more susceptible to water than steel doors, but the weather-stripping helps protect the wood from the water. Missing or damaged stripping allows the water to chip or warp the wood.
Lubricate Moving Parts
Every moving part of your garage door should be lubricated on a regular basis. These moving parts include the rollers in the tracks, hinges, springs and bearings. If you have a chain-driven system, you'll also need to grease the chain. However, don't use grease on other moving parts as it can cause a build-up of debris. Instead, use an aerosol spray lubricate to keep them running smoothly.
A New Door May Provide More Insulation
You've replaced the weather-stripping, but your door is still leaking energy. If this is the case, it's best to just replace your garaged door with an energy-efficient door. A higher R-value can stop the flow of heat. Switching to a hollow metal garage door allows you to purchase one with additional insulation in the core. Replacing your current garage door with an energy-efficient one is particularly a good idea if you heat/cool or garage, keep valuable items in it or have bedrooms above the garage.
Test the Door Regularly
Don't just maintain your garage door: test it. You need to actually take the time to open and close the door a few times while watching how it works. During this time, listen for any strange noises, and check to see if the door is sluggish, shaking or uneven. It's best to perform this test every one or two months.
Failure to provide proper maintenance to your garage door leads to surprise expenses on major repairs. However, a little work here and there keeps it running longer. If you want to have your garage door repaired, replaced, or simply need garage door parts contact a contractor in your area today.
What kind of locks do you have on your garage door? Did you know that there are different types of locks to choose from to secure the garage door? The locks that are securing your garage door are probably overlooked - some people don't even bother locking their garage door. If you store tools, lawn care equipment and sporting goods in your garage, your garage is a target for burglary and it should be protected. Find out how I secure my garage door to ensure that the thousands of dollars worth of tools that I own are not stolen from me.

Henry David Thoreau wrote in Walden in 1854: “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” Lately that desperation has become less quiet. Places and names tell the whole story, over and over again.
Ferguson, Missouri: Michael Brown. Staten Island, New York: Eric Garner. North Charleston, South Carolina: Walter Scott. Baltimore, Maryland: Freddie Gray.
And now Eugene, Oregon: Brian Babb.
Babb differs from the others in two ways that shouldn’t be important, but are. First, he had a gun. Second, he’s white.
Babb fired a shot into the floor of his room almost an hour before police arrived. He told his therapist he wanted “to see how it sounded.” He drew his gun again when confronted by police, prompting a fatal bullet in response.
If only one detail had differed, a thousand other details would then be changed, followed by a thousand more and another thousand after that. Life would have gone on. Instead, there’s an end, but only for him. Others must go on, hoping to find the tiniest shred of sense in what remains. Quiet desperation becomes contagious.
Our nation seems to go through spates of tragedies that echo each other, amplifying our collective pain. Shootings go from schools to shopping centers to movie theaters. Epidemics spread from ebola in Brooklyn and New Hampshire to measles at Disneyland.
The latest pattern shows the troubled and defenseless, losing their lives to police who are trying to maintain order. With each successive instance, the pressure mounts for charges to be filed against the police, as if that will somehow even the ledger.
It’s horrifically sad that retribution so often equates with justice. People exult in bloodlusty victory when police are charged with criminal intent, as if two lives shortened is somehow better than one. Often it’s the people closest to the victim who are the ones begging protesters to settle themselves down.
This is not an unimportant detail.
Those who knew the victim cannot readily embrace the cause. The grief about what happened comes first.
Never confuse the map with the territory. Only they have actually been to the place that others describe so well. If only we could listen first to those who have earned the right to speak, but our media are less discriminating or follow different rules than you and me.
They talk as if directly to us. They speak as if they knew the man. Neither is true, but our mental filters can’t quite keep up with what we already know. Like 1960s housewives afraid to offend the Fuller Brush salesman at the door — we let them in, knowing that we shouldn’t.
The desperation drama blares before us. The places and names change, but the story stays the same. Police seek to maintain order. Operation fails. R.I.P., the disaffected and disempowered. If only things were different.
African Americans have a special burden. For a century and a half, we’ve conflated race and class, performing an emotional shell game, hiding the pea under the complaint not given. If race is the obstacle, then it would go away with economic improvement. If poverty is the root, well, there are plenty of poor whites who don’t take to the streets. Each solution is designed to mismatch the problem.
But now the President and First Lady have self-identified as Black, even if it’s only literally three-quarters true. Class doesn’t reach any higher than the White House, so the desperation has a new clarity. The ache has become a pierce — an entirely different kind of pain.
On the other side of the scrimmage, police must keep order against two adversaries in unwitting cahoots. The disaffected are actively opposing with rocks held by nothing-to-lose fists, while the unenthused are holding their phones, wishing only for peace and quiet — but mostly quiet — so they can finish their business at hand.
Strategic asymmetry has been studied only in warfare, so it’s off to war they go, in armored vehicles, using military formations, dressed in battle fatigues. It looks like war.
Another Thoreau adage from Walden comes to mind: “Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.”

Creating Unique Chord Progressions with NoteFX in Bitwig Studio
Tutorial | Mon Dec 20 2021 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)
In this video, I showed some ways to create court versions with the NoteFX devices of Bitwig Studio. I demonstrated how to use the diatonic transpose to bring chords to a certain scale, and how to use the octave wrapper to move notes within an octave range. I also showed how to use the multi note to create chords with different amounts of modulation and how to mix major and minor chords together. Finally, I showed how to use a macro knob to create inversions with one knob.
You can watch the Video on Youtube - support me on Patreon
Questions & Answers #
Maybe you dont watch the video, here are some important takeaways:
How can I create court versions in Bitwig Studio? #
You can create court versions in Bitwig Studio using the NoteFX devices and by experimenting with the Multi Note tool. You can also use the Octave Wrapper to pitch notes up or down to get a more interesting chord progression. Additionally, you can use macros to modulate notes and create inversions, or use the Key Filter to mix major and minor chords together.
What is the Octave Wrapper? #
The Octave Wrapper is a NoteFX device that allows you to define a target octave (between C3 and C4, for example) and pitch any notes outside of that octave up or down by 12 semitones. This is a useful way to create more interesting chord progressions.
How can I use macros to create court inversions? #
You can use macros to modulate the notes of a chord to create court inversions. First, create a macro knob and assign it to the first note in the chord. Then, assign the same macro knob to the second note, and so on. Finally, save the macro settings as a default preset so that the same knob settings are applied

[00:00.000] Welcome back to another video on this channel.
[00:03.020] Today it's the same topic as the last video.
[00:05.380] It's about court versions and how you can come up
[00:07.880] with some court versions at all
[00:10.040] with the NoteFX devices of Bitwig Studio.
[00:12.760] I also got a lot of nice comments on my last video
[00:15.640] and also some new ideas maybe for how you can create
[00:20.960] inversions for some of these courts.
[00:23.360] And I want to share some more tricks.
[00:25.440] So let's start the video and have some fun.
[00:27.800] Okay, so let's say we have an instrument track
[00:30.920] here with the polysynth on it.
[00:32.720] And we can create here a, yeah, note clip.
[00:37.520] And we can create some notes in here.
[00:47.720] Okay, like this.
[00:53.000] Maybe you make this a bit shorter and it's too long.
[00:55.640] And then we use a moody note
[01:01.200] and create a chord out of it.
[01:02.840] For instance, three, seven.
[01:09.400] And then we use the diatonic transpose
[01:11.080] to bring this all to a scale, the sharp minor.
[01:18.440] Okay, that sounds nice.
[01:19.760] And when we add here a new instrument track
[01:21.800] and record everything we basically create here
[01:24.600] with the moody note and record this to a separate track.
[01:27.960] So input here, polysynth,
[01:29.600] polysynth, output, record.
[01:36.240] You will see that we have here basically created
[01:39.640] a chord progression.
[01:41.920] But the chord shape is always the same, right?
[01:45.200] Of course, we transpose to the root note down
[01:47.840] and the diatonic transpose
[01:49.600] or transpose some of the notes to the grand scale.
[01:53.600] But besides that, not much happened.
[01:56.680] So sometimes you want to step in here
[01:58.880] and use the recorded version of this chord progression
[02:03.960] and just move certain notes, maybe an octave lower.
[02:09.600] Bring all the notes closer together.
[02:12.080] So this would sound like this here.
[02:13.800] If we bring this up here, let's see what this is.
[02:18.320] Right, it sounds much different than this version here.
[02:31.320] So to do this programmically inside the pane here,
[02:35.200] basically the note effects device is a bit hard
[02:38.320] or is, yeah, a bit harder.
[02:40.360] Maybe you can step in here and use a macro
[02:42.800] and then pitch some of the notes here,
[02:47.040] 12 semitones up or down, right?
[02:49.480] This is one possibility.
[02:52.280] What you also can do is you can use a note wrapper
[02:55.480] and I use most of the times one by its isle.
[03:00.120] You produce one and you can change here
[03:02.680] which octave you want to have active
[03:05.680] or the target octave as it says here.
[03:09.240] And this basically means that we have probably,
[03:13.680] I think this means here C3 if I'm not wrong.
[03:20.040] We have only the octave between C3 here and C4 active.
[03:25.120] Every note that is outside of the scale
[03:28.600] or out of this octave here gets either pitched down
[03:32.520] when it's above or pitched up when it's below C3.
[03:37.240] So this means when we create your subcords
[03:40.000] and some of these notes, as you can see here,
[03:42.920] are outside of the target scale or target octave,
[03:48.960] these notes are getting moved up or down by 12 semitones.
[03:54.000] And so this sounds like this now.
[04:00.160] Sounds different, right?
[04:01.080] Then instead of this.
[04:09.880] And this sounds, of course, much better if you use more notes
[04:12.720] so the possibility that some of these notes
[04:16.560] are out of the scale are much, much higher.
[04:18.640] So for instance, if I go for 10 here.
[04:20.720] Okay, so when we record this here and compare it to this.
[04:45.240] Okay, so now here,
[04:46.400] which to track the both together.
[04:52.400] So this is a bit different.
[04:53.840] As you can see here, this note here
[04:56.720] in our first code is now pitched up to this position, right?
[05:00.880] To get into the octave between C3 and C4.
[05:07.240] And this one is also pitched up here in this version.
[05:12.440] And this one also.
[05:13.640] So we create basically some kind of inversions
[05:18.160] for some of these chords just by using octave wrapper
[05:21.680] and having just basically nailed down
[05:26.000] the target octave to just everything between C3 and C4
[05:31.280] and everything that's outside of it
[05:32.960] will get pitched down or pitched up.
[05:35.880] So it's an easy way of creating kind of inversions
[05:40.880] or more interesting chord progressions
[05:44.160] by just using an octave wrapper.
[05:46.000] And I put the link to the octave wrapper into the description
[05:49.760] below so we can download it, of course, it's for free.
[05:52.840] And also a link to X-Isles YouTube channel.
[05:59.160] Another interesting way of creating some chord progressions
[06:01.960] is sometimes you can just go here with the multi note,
[06:06.680] completely nuts and say,
[06:08.640] this from here to here are three semitones.
[06:12.480] From here to here are four semitones.
[06:15.240] And here we go back to three again.
[06:17.680] So 7 plus 3 is 10.
[06:20.200] Then four again, we are now on 14.
[06:23.880] Then three again with 17.
[06:29.000] And then four again, we go here to 21.
[06:33.920] And then three again, which then was 24.
[06:40.440] So now we have to remove to the octave wrapper
[06:42.840] because we don't need it.
[06:44.200] And this is how it sounds now.
[06:49.440] And when we record this, it looks like this.
[06:57.320] We have a lot of notes and it's probably way too much
[07:01.000] for chord progression.
[07:03.120] But what we can do now is we can just remove unused notes
[07:07.920] by using a note filter like this.
[07:16.880] And now we allow only notes between maybe C3
[07:21.200] and let's see here, A sharp three, okay.
[07:30.360] Okay, and we keep these notes.
[07:32.560] Everything else above below gets removed.
[07:37.360] It looks like this.
[07:44.160] So we get basically here notes that are close together
[07:48.760] because they are on the same space.
[07:52.040] Everything between C3 and A sharp three.
[07:56.640] So you can use this basically to create
[07:59.520] chord progression with notes that are way closer together.
[08:04.520] We also, also something, a record, something like this.
[08:35.320] Yeah, and it's open for experimentation.
[08:37.480] So it's not like you can only use C3, A sharp three
[08:42.040] can also make this way bigger
[08:45.920] or different region like this.
[08:51.720] Right, you get different cutouts from these chord shapes.
[09:05.880] You can also change the chord shapes.
[09:07.520] You don't need to use this approach that I used here
[09:11.520] with three, four, three, four, three, four.
[09:14.040] You can also use a complete scale.
[09:16.960] For instance, C minor scale or C major scale
[09:20.960] and then go from that or use your own scales.
[09:25.880] Something I mentioned already in the video before
[09:28.320] is that you can create some macros here
[09:33.080] and maybe make it as a default preset if you want to
[09:36.800] and insert maybe here this as a bipolar macro knob
[09:43.000] and then add this here to the first note
[09:48.600] plus 12, which is one octave.
[09:50.360] So you pull this all the way up here.
[09:53.160] Basically this note, one octave higher.
[09:55.200] If you pull this down, you have one octave lower.
[09:58.680] So you can create inversions with this.
[10:02.720] So maybe call this note one.
[10:06.640] Make it same with this knob here.
[10:13.440] Same with this knob.
[10:14.880] And yeah, all this note two, all this note three.
[10:23.520] Of course, we don't need all the notes.
[10:25.520] Maybe the first three is completely fine.
[10:29.040] And then say save this as a default preset.
[10:31.600] So you have it basically every time you load this device
[10:37.160] up, you have the same mapping
[10:39.880] and then you can modulate this here.
[10:41.880] And yeah, you can switch between the octaves.
[10:49.880] Let's see.
[10:53.480] Oh, we have to remove this here first.
[10:55.560] We can modulate this here while these thoughts are changing
[11:09.360] and then get different inversions for these notes.
[11:16.360] So another strange way of doing chord progressions is
[11:21.360] maybe you create here instead of using notes as root notes
[11:29.000] you may be starting with just using the same note
[11:32.640] over and over again.
[11:33.880] You don't need to, but you can.
[11:36.360] And using your multi note starting maybe
[11:40.840] with the chord shape of a minor chord,
[11:45.680] something like this.
[11:47.280] And using one macro knob here,
[11:51.080] when you turn this macro knob up here to 100%,
[11:55.560] each of these notes change,
[11:57.760] but in a different rank or amount.
[12:02.000] For instance, maybe you go with the root note here,
[12:05.160] one up and this one goes down maybe by eight.
[12:11.840] And this one goes down by maybe five.
[12:16.280] It's one goes down by 12.
[12:22.520] So I feel like this.
[12:25.880] And then you can change this here, maybe with the timbre,
[12:31.560] chord so you can dial in here with the timbre settings
[12:37.840] each note differently, right?
[12:41.440] And then we use the diatronic principle here
[12:43.720] to bring this down to a scale that makes sense.
[13:06.360] And maybe when we, to audio track to MIDI track,
[13:10.720] and we record this here,
[13:12.040] you can see how it looks like.
[13:22.080] Right, so we have more like
[13:25.240] these unusual chord shapes here that are more like based
[13:28.800] on mathematical ways of creating
[13:33.000] because we're just using a multiple
[13:35.600] different amounts of modulation for each of these notes.
[13:38.800] And when we turn this macro knob up here,
[13:41.560] each of these notes travel in different speeds
[13:44.920] or in different amounts over the piano roll
[13:49.440] and you get these unusual chord shapes, right?
[13:52.480] So we still have here a minor chord, minor seventh chord
[13:56.120] and we have here D sharp minor for the key filter, right?
[14:00.280] So we play completely diatonic to the scale of D sharp minor.
[14:05.280] So we can do this here and maybe start instead of D,
[14:12.440] we start on the fifth here.
[14:23.480] Maybe super simple.
[14:24.800] Oh, maybe we use an operator.
[14:40.440] So this is diatonic, right?
[14:41.760] So kind of boring.
[14:44.480] It's okay.
[14:46.080] What you can do is you can disable here the root note
[14:49.480] and play this in minor,
[14:53.800] put this here into a note of X layer,
[14:56.560] but also here the key filter in there.
[14:58.960] And then we duplicate this layer here
[15:01.040] and this time we disable the rest of the notes
[15:03.800] and enable here the root note again,
[15:06.160] but this time we pitch it to D sharp major
[15:10.800] and also maybe use here one octave lower for the bass
[15:15.800] so it sounds like this.
[15:32.720] We'll get something like this.
[15:36.080] Maybe I record this here so we can compare it.
[15:39.120] So input, Polysent.
[15:54.840] But this is something and then we go here
[15:58.040] and switch this to major and this to minor
[16:01.760] and then record again, right?
[16:13.320] This is now a different chord version here.
[16:18.160] And some of the notes are different in here than in here.
[16:21.960] So this is here C sharp four, this is D four, right?
[16:26.640] Here we have D sharp four, we have here F four.
[16:31.080] So it's also a different field, you can hear it,
[16:35.400] but we basically mix major and minor together here.
[16:53.920] Don't feel like this so we can also go in here
[16:57.000] and use the octave wrapper from the first example.
[17:01.880] Let's listen to this.
[17:16.920] So it's also something you can do,
[17:19.560] just mix major and minor together
[17:21.680] and see what comes out of it.
[17:23.400] Maybe you can also hear it's able to seventh for instance
[17:29.400] and use the tier, right?
[17:31.760] So mix different things here for major and minor.
[17:42.560] It's also a different field.
[17:43.880] That's it for this video, thanks for watching.

Tell us about your work/research. What kinds of things do you do?
I specialize in analyzing underwater video collected by remotely operated vehicles (ROV), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV), and human-occupied submersibles. When I analyze video I identify and record habitats, fish and invertebrates. I have looked at hundreds of hours of video collected from offshore the US West coast on the continental shelf and slope. I’m particularly interested in benthic macro-invertebrates, such as deep-sea corals and sponges. These organisms are long-lived, slow-growing and provide habitat for other species of invertebrates and fish. I also think they are very beautiful! When I am finished analyzing the underwater video, I perform data analyses and produce map products using ArcGIS for technical reports for resource managers.
What sparked your initial interest in your career?
From a young age, I’ve been an explorer, observing nature and asking questions. I grew up in a small Connecticut town in the woods and on a lake which gave me endless opportunities for my mini-exploration as a kid. In high school I started SCUBA diving on family trips to the Caribbean and felt the calmest in the water, watching and thinking about each animal’s purpose in the reef ecosystem. I developed a fascination for marine invertebrates because they are quite complex organisms once you get to know them. I chose to pursue a degree in marine biology, worked hard at it and feel so grateful that I now have a career that I love. Even though I’m looking at the seafloor on video through a computer screen I can still observe, wonder and be in awe of what I’m seeing. I also enjoy taking inventories and keeping data organized which are skills necessary for analyzing underwater imagery.
Who influenced you or encouraged you the most?
My parents have been incredibly positive about this career dream of mine; supporting my education that took me away from home to marine labs and research stations in the Gulf of Maine, Virgin Islands and New Zealand. My graduate school advisor at Washington State University, Dr. Brian Tissot, introduced me to this world of underwater video and in his teachings, he stressed the importance of applied ecology for this kind of research.
What element of your work/study do you think is the most fascinating?
The unknown of the deep ocean. Exploring the seafloor that has never been seen by human eyes using world-class technology. There is the potential for discovering new species. It’s a privilege to see these unknown areas and it’s only a small fraction of the majority of our planet. There is still so much more to discover - it’s a lot of fun!
What other jobs led you to your current career?
While I was a student at the University of New Hampshire I volunteered in a lab identifying and sorting small invertebrates from mud samples collected from the Gulf of Maine. I call this my “picking worms” job. But in all seriousness, it motivated me and gave me the hands-on experience and references I needed to go to graduate school. I was accepted into a Master’s program at Washington State University and my thesis project focused on analyzing underwater videos collected by the Delta submersible from central California’s continental shelf. I learned the methods for identifying habitats, marine invertebrates and fish and how to statistically analyze those datasets. Shortly after finishing my Master’s degree in 2009 I applied for and was hired on a seven-month temporary research position with the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary (CBNMS). Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary has a strong history of conducting benthic surveys using underwater vehicles. My temporary position with CBNMS has evolved into ten years of working with them. I am an independent contractor with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) so in addition to working for CBNMS I analyze underwater video for the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and the National Marine Fisheries Service.
What are your degrees and certifications?
- Bachelor of Science in Marine and Freshwater Biology – University of New Hampshire, 2005;
- Master of Science in Environmental Science – Washington State University, 2008
What are your hobbies?
Practically anything you can do outside: hiking/backpacking, biking, cross country skiing, tide pooling, gardening, playing with my two dogs and I’m trying to get better at surfing. I’m very active keeping up with my curious and nature-loving 4-year-old son. I have a creative side for crafting and jewelry making. My house also keeps me busy with many DIY improvement projects.
How did you get involved with the Nautilus Exploration Program?
Ocean Exploration Trust has partnered with the Office of National Marine Sanctuaries to focus exploration in sanctuaries on the US west coast. I was invited to participate in the expedition to Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary and Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary.
What advice would you give someone who wants to have a career like yours?
School is important, study hard, excel in your classes. You’ll probably need an advanced degree, but don’t approach that without 100% commitment. The most valuable thing you can do while taking classes is to gain hands-on experience as a volunteer, intern or technician at a research lab, marine field station, nonprofit, etc. You probably won’t get paid much (if at all) and the positions may be on a seasonal or temporary basis - but don’t let that discourage you. It’s about proving you are a hard worker, passionate about what you are doing and building relationships with professionals in your field of interest. Those connections will expand your network of colleagues who will be references for you and thus opening doors to more job opportunities than you can find searching the internet.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ―Ralph Waldo Emerson
It’s not about finishing the song. It’s about being one with the music while it’s still playing.
It’s not about throwing up my hands and saying “I did it.” It’s about becoming the kind of person for whom getting things done is a mere side-effect of a much broader commitment to personal evolution.
It’s not about proving myself. It’s about seeing what comes out of me when I realize I have nothing to prove.
These were the words I offered to my own question as I took a walk yesterday evening and asked myself the following: what’s the true goal of my personal development project (PDP)?
The biggest lesson I learned this week, as I completed the first five days of my PDP, is that I am no longer in the business of merely taking pride in the fact that I showed up and did what I said I would do. A little over three years ago, when I committed to writing a blog post every single day, I felt so accomplished each time I made it happen. This sense of pride existed independently of the quality of my writing. I cherish those days and am deeply grateful for them. I needed to have that attitude as it helped me overcome perfectionism and develop the courage required to create. But now, it’s time to go beyond that. I can no longer be content with treating my routines as a to-do list that I get to feel good about finishing. I’m determined to be the best possible version of myself and that means holding myself to a higher standard. I want to enjoy the bliss of being in my flow state for as many moments as possible. Poets and mystics often speak of finding the extraordinary in the ordinary. All the details of my PDP aside, this is the real aim for me. I’m after what Thomas Moore called “the re-enchantment of everyday life.”
Accomplishments are good. Completing tasks are good. Being consistent is good. But I see all of those things as the natural by-product and logical outworking of one fundamental practice: the conscious, deliberate, passionate, and relentless pursuit of self-actualization. It is my conviction that to fully be one’s self is not only pleasurable, but that’s it’s also practical. So I’ll be here. I’ll be showing up everyday. I’ll do the things I say I’m going to do. But I don’t plan on throwing any parties or making any big announcements when I’m finished because those things aren’t the point. I’m here to enjoy the process of making productivity an afterthought of my personal evolution. That’s what fires me up. That’s what I’m learning about what I’m learning.

The Moroccan Riad Fes, Marrakesh, Ouarzazate
The Moroccan Riad Fes, Marrakesh, Ouarzazate
The Moroccan Riad Fes, Marrakesh, Ouarzazate A Riad is a traditional Moroccan house or palace with an interior garden or courtyard. The word riad comes from the Arabian term for garden, “Riad”.
The ancient Roman City of Volubilis provides a reference for the beginnings of riad architecture during the rule of the Idrisid Dynasty. An important design concern was Islamic notions of privacy for women inside residential gardens.
The riads were inward-focused, which allowed for family privacy and protection from the weather in Morocco. This inward focus was expressed in the central location of most of the interior gardens and courtyards and the lack of large windows on the exterior clay or mud brick walls. This design principle found support in Islamic notions of privacy and hijab for women.
In the central garden of traditional riads, there are often four orange or lemon trees and possibly a fountain. The walls of the riads are adorned with TADLLAKET plaster and Zellige tiles, usually with Arabic calligraphy, with quotes from the Quran.
The style of these riads has changed over the years, but the basic form is still used in designs today. In Fes for example, are more than 500 Riads

400 Fairview – A mixed use building in Seattle designed by SkB Architects intends to foster open, active and connected urban community sense.
Created as a response to the neighborhood context, the project has a interior retail market hall, which occupies the street level. A light well lit’s up the interior of the building further connecting the upper podium office levels to the street. The exterior pre-cast module building facade is composed of rectangular window grids of varying sizes.
Restaurant spaces on ground floor
White striking office block
The 13 storey building’s upper tower has a wavy facade which helps to break monotony of orthogonal city grids and to provide enhanced views. The top floor of this LEED Platinum certified building has a rooftop restaurant. Open to public, the terrace provides stunning views of the surrounding neighborhood.
From the Architects –
The nature of development in the urban realm is changing from buildings that are predominantly single-purpose structures into multi-use destinations and connected communities—and 400 Fairview embodies this change. At thirteen stories and 337,000-square-feet, this mixed-use building was conceived as a catalyst for urban engagement.
Seating spaces along pavement and building block
Designed to knit into its neighborhood and foster a sense of community and connection, the building resets development expectations for commercial design in terms of public/private engagement and functional design.
Multiple sidewalk entries to retail spaces
Building components –
Programmatically, the building is divided into two components. The podium is a richly-toned and textured, sinuously-curving three-story element notable for its porous ground plane that merges its prominent market hall with outdoor spaces to create a hub of activity.
Rich palette of materials for 400 Fairview
A contrasting, narrow, ten-story office tower featuring dynamically patterned windows rises above the podium. The tower is hinged slightly at mid-block to enhance views. Both podium and tower are formed with integrally-colored precast concrete panels; a sandblasted pattern of circles at street level, and a smooth texture for the tower.
Building mass concept
The solution to resetting the typical language of commercial development is achieved through an open, engaging and informal approach to architectural expression that is present throughout the building—from plan to massing, and materiality.
Ground floor plan
Engaging community within the mixed use building –
Everything about the street-level experience is designed to increase the sense of invitation and engagement with its surroundings. There are large and frequent entries on all sides of the building, including the alley thus improve movement throughout the site.
Building section through the Market hall
The creation of a market hall that runs the length of the block to merge retail, office workers and passersby was done. A rich palette of materials that spills into sheltered exterior spaces, including a plaza and large-scale stoops. The curation of local retail to create a rich and varied experience that brings life to the building from morning until night.
Retail space on ground floor
Building cross section
Interior glass skylight – Light monitor
Food joints on the ground floor
Natural light floods into the market hall from three large, fully-glazed monitors, which also open to podium-level offices and afford views across floors. The building’s top floor accommodates a rooftop restaurant and deck that is open to the public—a rare opportunity for the community to enjoy views of the city and Lake Union.
Rooftop garden restaurant
Window pattern along facade –
The patterning of the tower fenestration was inspired by the rustic weave found in natural fabrics, such as linen, flax or silk—irregularities that contribute to its relaxed, natural feel. Rather than employ ribbon windows found on so many office buildings, glazing is composed of five distinct modules.
Precast panels for windows
A system of ten-foot-wide window and precast panel modules are offset and rotated horizontally and vertically to create the varied window layout. White or black window frames create an additional layer of visual texture, which is revealed as one approaches the building. An additional benefit of the atypical window module is that it translates into a wide variety of room sizes, providing more flexibility for tenants.

Inside, the unique “side-core” design moves the elevator and service functions from the middle of the floor plate to the edge, thereby increasing the efficiency and flexibility of the large floor plates. The building is LEED Platinum certified.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome, welcome, to 75 Bands in 75 Days, where we’re showcasing some of the best talent that the Pacific Northwest has to offer, at least one band per day, leading up to December 31st, to ring in a new year. The tenth band up is a rising northwest band with a dreamy, somewhat psychedelic sound, they are Fauna Shade.
While they aren’t exactly inventing fire with this band they do have a great sound, clearly in the vain of Modest Mouse and they have strong material, which should help distance them from the pack. If you are going to sound like other bands, first of all, you better be damn good and have great songs(or shit-tons of money) if you want to survive.
Fauna Shade began informally in middle school. Bass player Ryile Smith and drummer Eduardo Contreras played music under a variety of names through middle and high school before settling on Fauna Shade. Scotty “Olympus” Smith joined forces with Contreras and the other Smith and is the creative force behind the band.
In an article on clipperonline.com
Smith(Scotty) states his influences span from Otis Redding to MGMT, but that he and his band listen to everything under the sun. “We listen to everything, but we definitely love rock and roll and no matter what we listen to, I feel like it will always be based around the rock and roll spirit and the heart.”

J Street’s Record Also Suspect
Rabbi Seymour Rosenbloom shows chutzpah slamming AIPAC when he represents the anti-Israel J Street (“AIPAC Needs to Rethink Its Strategy Before It Does Any More Damage,” Aug. 25). They call themselves pro-Israel, but that’s a lie. Their record speaks for itself.
I do, however, agree with Rosenbloom that this business of endorsing candidates is extremely unsettling to say the least. Should AIPAC endorse the Squad, Bernie Sanders and all so-called progressive Democrats that holler disproportionately when Israel defends itself? And should it ignore or excuse Palestinian terrorism and support BDS and the Iran deal, as does J Street? I don’t have the answer, but neither does Rosenbloom.
Zachary Margolies, Philadelphia
Substitute J Street for AIPAC
Regarding Rabbi Seymour Rosenbloom’s op-ed (“AIPAC Needs to Rethink Its Strategy Before It Does Any More Damage,” Aug. 25), one could substitute “J Street” for “AIPAC” in the same headline.
Rosenbloom, who serves on J Street’s Rabbinic and Cantorial Cabinet, calls out AIPAC for endorsing and fundraising for Republicans in Congress who voted to overturn the 2020 election results, based on the claim that their votes “openly threaten democratic rights and freedoms.”
Yet Rosenbloom is silent regarding his organization’s endorsements of Democrats in Congress who voted for the Iran agreement (the JCPOA). In a rare display of unity, Jewish parties across Israel’s political spectrum opposed the JCPOA because, by providing a legal pathway to Iran’s development of a nuclear arsenal, the agreement constituted an existential threat to the Jewish state.
The likely revival of the JCPOA by President Biden after President Trump withdrew the U.S. from the accord in 2018 is drawing more attention to this threat. Indeed, on Aug. 24, Mossad Director David Barnea referred to the imminent deal as “a strategic disaster” for Israel.
Rosenbloom asserts that, by endorsing candidates who voted to overturn the 2020 election results, “It’s long overdue for AIPAC to think about the group’s actions.” How ironic since, by supporting candidates who voted for an agreement that is an existential threat to Israel, the same could be said about Rosenbloom’s own organization.
Jerry Stern, Merion Station
Editorial Said Nothing
(“The Trump Effect,” Aug. 25) was a pretty useless editorial in the sense that it took no stance about anything.
Is the Exponent afraid to take a stance regarding one of the most dangerous people in America? I thought that was what editorials did. Guess I was wrong. No guts; no glory. Very disappointing.

Address: 840 Main Ave, Durango, CO 81301
Notes: What a great store within Durango. When you walk in you see the walls lined with beads and beads and beads. Artwork laced the top of the walls giving the store an eclectic vibe that draws in those who like to be different and like unique things.
Bellow depicts the beautiful array of semi-precious beads followed by a rainbow of seed beads! The store has a fantastic collection for beaders to enjoy and turn into artistic creations.
The back of the store has loose beads, typical to most bead stores. Again this really is great for people who don’t want to commit to an entire strand of a specific bead. Along the wall all sorts of beading supplies are attainable (everything you need to bead minus the beads) such as ribbons, wire, thread, etc.
The other half of the store had many more beads up on the walls. It’s has been a few weeks since we visited but I believe this half had more semi-precious beads. But please note the art I was talking about before. It really added to the store and made it one of a kind.
Not quite pictured (far right of the picture) Are alot of chains and other supplies kept near the check out area. This is handy since the chains are still visible but easy for the employees to show you and then cut it for you.
The front of the store had several nick nacks. I remember there was a super cute hello kitty (KISS edition) metal lunchbox as well as other bags, fake tattoo sleeves, etc. There were also several gorgeous jewelry pieces laid out in stunning displays.
Pros: A plethora of beads, great selection of: czech glass, semi-precious beads, seed beads, chains, odds and ends! Bright and beautiful store, great location and friendly employees
Cons: Could use more crystals and seed beads, other then that great store!

Series: The Edge of a Knife
Title: The Courage of Men
Author: Jedi Buttercup
Disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not. I claim nothing but the plot.
Summary: A:tS, LotR. It has been said that the line of Luthien will never fail. 400 words.
Spoilers: Set during A:tS 5.22, "Not Fade Away", and AU for LOTR.
As the sparkle in the depths of Wesley's grey-blue eyes dies out, Illyria remembers, much too late, where she has seen it before.
They had been a broken people already when she had reached them. They had been driven forth from their lands by the Dark One and his armies, thinned by slaughter and privation to a mere remnant of their former might. Their women and children they had sent ahead, or hid in caves and crumbling, abandoned structures; they fought on only to delay her, hoping against hope that their heirs would survive to one day defeat her even as she was defeating them.
They were nothing to her, mere slime, a mass of worms infesting the body of the world she intended to one day rule. And yet, when she had faced their leader-- she, then many times the size of a human and armed with swords that reaped great swathes of lives with every swing, staring across a blade-length's span of cleared battlefield at a mere chief of Men with a blaze of light on his brow-- she had felt his gaze like a blow to the thorax.
"The day may come when the courage of Men fails," the Man had screamed, raising his puny sword aloft like a flaming banner as she reared over him. "But that day is not this day!"
His hair had been darker than Wesley's, his height greater, the weight of muscle and scars of battle shaping a leaner and stronger frame, but the eyes were the same: they gleamed like stars, a depth of wisdom and power in their gray depths that did not belong in beings of such low stature. She had slain him without a care for who he might have been, but the encounter had been indelibly etched into her immortal memory.
It seems strangely fitting that her Guide should be descended from such a Man. After all these years, the courage of Men still has not failed, and in the death of another of his line she has realized her own humanity at last.
Illyria lowers his body gently to the ground, feeling the surge of grief and rage within her body, and shifts from Fred's form to her own. There is vengeance to be done. But afterward...
... she recalls a circular sketch in Wesley's books, and plans for an even greater day of reckoning to follow.
