Password creator 3 words5/7/2023 Find out if someone else is using your account.On the Contact info panel, click Phone.On the Contact info panel, click Email.On the left navigation panel, click Personal info.Your recovery info is used to help you in case we detect unusual activity in your account. Step 2: Be prepared if someone gets your password You can also use your Google Account to save passwords for you. Take some time to research the reviews and reputations of these services. The key is to understand that if you opt to use common tricks to help you remember your password over generating a random password, you're going to end up with one that is less secure.If you have trouble remembering multiple passwords, consider using a trusted password manager. If you find it easier to remember certain special characters over others, then you can select to only have those placed in the random password which should make it a bit easier to remember. Using emoticons at the beginning or end of passwords is also common.įor these reasons, it's much more secure to have a random password generated even though it might be a bit more difficult to remember. The same can be said of substituting "!" for an "i" or an "l". While this is using a special character, it doesn't help the security of the password much because hackers know this is a common substitute people make. In this case, they would write "trampoline" as " ". For example, a lot of people use the special character as a substitute for the letter a. The problems with common tricks to remembering the special characters in your passwords is that these tricks make your password less secure than if the special characters were random. Great, so now you know, but how on earth are you to remember them? While you can set up your personal gadgets with a 'remember me', what if you need to access that particular account from someone else's' machine - or you clear your browser history. From top to bottom they are: - _ = + | : " ', / ? Memory Games Then you have the ones down the right-hand side of your keyboard. These include ! # $ % ^ & * ( ) which all run along the top of your keyboard above the numbers. A lot of people aren't exactly sure what these special characters are, but they're simply other symbols you find on a standard keyboard. Another common parameter is that it should contain letters, numbers and 'special characters'. For example, it may need to be a minimum of eight characters long. When you're asked to set up a password, you're sometimes given parameters of the password. What are special characters in passwords? In fact, more and more places where you must create a password are insisting that you use at least one special character as part of your password. If you only create ones with letters and numbers, they are far less secure than those which also include special characters. The key to creating a strong password these days is to include special characters as part of your password. This will allow you to create the strongest possible password while only including the special characters you are comfortable with and will more easily remember. This Random Password Generator will allow you to create passwords while also allowing you to determine which special characters you would like to include in the password. If you are looking to create a strong password for any of your accounts, creating a random password is an excellent way to protect them.

Tremolo dorico5/7/2023 Symbol is usually the backwards flat sign combined with the normal flat sign (called "mirrored-flat2" in mscore). Some prefer to use the flat sign with a slash through it instead (called "flat-slash")ġ 1/2 flat = 150 cents lower than unaltered note Symbol is usually the backwards flat sign (called "mirrored-flat" in mscore). Plowman - yes - that is the implementation of the score in logic ( that is why I showed logic's score editor local menu so it was clear the score is in fact duplicated in Logic.ġ/2 flat = 50 cents lower than unaltered note So logic can in fact do exotic scoring and I don't think it it unfair to compare or ask Logic to do this stuff - for as you can see if it quite capable of being achieved. You also keep pushing Muscscore - which is fine if you want use it - but I am not switching from Logic's as I prefer its scoring capabilities. Mark - You keep saying Logic is not a scoring program because of its Sequencer roots, yet I keep demonstrating that complex notation can in fact be done in Logic's score editor. I tend to use (most time) the Bravaura font and that is what I used here as well. The triplet and tuplets are not graphical but really are a triplet and septuplet (clicking on each will bring up the tuplet parameter dialogue box) - also notice the flags on the first and last 16th note (more to make you go hmmmmm) Starting with trying to make the tempo 112 in 10/8 time ( just try that one and see if you can do it in 15 seconds as one would expect.). Plowman answered the questions on 1/2 flatĪtlas - thanks - yes it took more time than normal. So, I decided to attempt to duplicate it (technically) for which I was able to achieve in Logic and the results are below ( I did update a few items I missed on the first pass) The point and purpose of my post has nothing to do with analyzing its musical correctness, but quite to the contrary in showing logic can in fact duplicate a score for which a new application on the market indicates these are some of the advanced functions that differentiate its (the Dorica product) from others.

Although I am not a professional composer, I consider it to be "industrial strength" and would recommend it to anyone. (Although money was, so to speak, no object.) And-d-d-d-d.

It represents this world-view in several ways: piano-roll, score view, and so on. You see, "Logic is, fundamentally, a DAW." Its world-view, so to speak, consists of (among other things. If you want to do exotic scoring, the open-source program MuseScore can do this and more.Īnd I think that it's kind of unfair to expect Logic to do it.

The flaming lips bubble concert5/7/2023 But then there’s also the issue of keeping those bubbles clean. Thanks to the band’s nearly two-decade use of them, Coyne has become quite an expert in space bubbles - and by the time of the Criterion show, he had a pretty good sense of how and where to procure the ones that make the most sense for an audience. But I think we could do something where it’s in the new world, where we go a little slower with a little less people, and be a little bit more aware of who’s breathing on whom and stuff like that.” That’s just too many people having to help - too many flights, too many trucks. “I don’t think we’d want to take it on a fly-by-night tour like we’re used to doing before COVID. “I think we can definitely take it to other places,” he said. And then if they did, we’d try another one and go from there.”Ī space bubble tour is possible, but Coyne said it would have to be on a very small scale. “I feel like we would put one show on sale, and see if anybody wants to go. “Do you buy the front row? Do you buy by the row? And would people even know what a row is? It’s such an unknown world,” he says. And I think the Flaming Lips audience is the perfect audience to say ‘We’ll help you do this, we can make this work,’ because they’re a very smart, caring, giving kind of an audience.”Ĭoyne said they’ll announce the next show in November, with a December date, in order to give them a few weeks to figure out how to do it. “Let’s start with a little bit of an audience, and if we have to spread it out and play multiple nights, well, great. “I thought even the amount of audience we had for the video shoot was a little scary,” Coyne admits. There’s also the question of how big the crowd should be. Next up, because the bubbles are so big, Coyne is figuring out how many people to allow inside (there’s room for three) and whether, during a longer show, there should be a break to allow for air refreshing and restroom visits. “They’re getting drunk and they’re losing their minds and before you know it, they’re grabbing onto each other and they’re screaming in each other’s faces.” “Part of the dilemma of doing loud concerts is that it gets people excited,” Coyne says. (For the record, none of the 116 attendees needed to go during this show.) Among the logistical issues the band was looking at: How to safely assemble the audience outside, without it becoming a tailgate party getting the crowd inside the balloons and blowing them up, without it becoming a super-spreader event and even figuring out how many people might need to unzip and go to the bathroom during the show. Now it feels absolutely wonderful.”Ĭoyne said the event this month was a dress rehearsal for perhaps a full concert that he’d like to do December in the same location. “I worried mostly that something embarrassing would happen or it would look like it wasn’t safe. When they need to take a bathroom break, fans simply had to raise the “I gotta go pee” sign and a venue staff will escort them after they have worn their face mask and stepped outside the bubble.“It turned out more spectacular and more positive than I could have ever thought,” Coyne told Variety. (Flaming Lips/Warner Music/Reuters)Ĭoyne said that the bubbles hold enough oxygen for three people to breathe for “over an hour and 10 minutes” before they need to be refreshed with cool air, which fans could request from attendants by raising up the “hot in here” sign. Instead of clapping, the crowd would punch the top of their bubbles because their sound was muted. Fans can also take off their face masks once they’re inside the cocoon. (Flaming Lips/Warner Music/Reuters)Īnd the band obviously made good of their plan as each bubble in this year’s concert also came with a frequency supplemental speaker, water bottle, battery-operated fan, towel, and an "I gotta go pee/hot in here" sign. The music part of it, we got that shit down.” The Flaming Lips performing inside their own space bubbles in this year's concert. That’s what we spent most of the time figuring out. Once you’re in the bubble you can do whatever the fuck you want, and that’s the beauty of it. Coyne detailed, “, the whole thing happened in 20 minutes from everybody being inside to everyone being blown up in their space bubble, and that’s the part of it that we wanted to work on. The band did a test run of the concept in a smaller concert in October that year. In an interview with Rolling Stones in December last year, Coyne said that fans would have to wait in line before they are brought inside their plastic bubbles. “We collect everybody and then we take them row by row to their bubbles,” Coyne said. Wayne Coyne is known for rolling over the audience in gigs.

Torment chamber thrall5/6/2023 After several rounds of back and forth, finally got confirmation that these quests seem to have been intentionally removed in 9.1 in an undocumented change. Apart from the covenant storylines, the story of their rescue IS THE WHOLE STORY. Their kidnapping is what started this whole thing. The whole purpose for me being in the Shadowlands in the first place is to rescue the faction leaders. I don’t even know what to say in response to this. Instead of completing the quests for saving Jaina Proudmoore and Thrall from Torghast in Shadowlands, the quests are being automatically marked as completed. The modern use of the term applies mostly to African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans who are descended from enslaved Africans who retain their name given to their ancestors by the enslavers. After thirty minutes on Wowhead and piecing things together, it appears that when 9.1 dropped Blizz made an undocumented change and simply deleted the following quests from the game and marked them complete for everyone. A slave name is the personal name given by others to an enslaved person, or a name inherited from enslaved ancestors. Thrall and Aggra were among the gathered heroes at the meeting that ended in tragedy when an incredibly powerful agent of the Twilight Hammer interrupted the ceremony and struck down Thrall with dark magic, casting his spirit into the four domains of the Elemental Plane. Torment Chamber: Thrall - Quest - World of Warcraft Torment Chamber: Thrall Rescue Thrall from Torghast, Tower of the Damned. Each floor is randomly generated, with everchanging enemies and objectives, so your runs will never be the same. We have a list of the costs for upgrading a legendary in our post. Playing through the expansion in order, finished my covenant campaign, ready to start 9.1 content with the auto-added quest “The First Move.” I start the quest and get fed the cutscene where Anduin attacks the Archon in Bastion. Torghast, Tower of the Damned is a new game-mode in Shadowlands, which allows you to progress through a multi-floor, ever-changing dungeon. Rank 1 to 2 (Item Level 210): Requires 750 Soul Ash.

Reflect across x axis5/6/2023 Take the negative of that to get to negative one. Instead of squaring one and getting one, you then But when X is equal to negative one, instead of Y being equal to one, it'd now be equal to negative one. Instead when X is equal to zero, Y is still gonna be equal to zero. So first let's flip over, flip over the x-axis. We might appreciate is that G seems not only toīe flipped over the x-axis, but then flipped overĪnd then stretched wider. So like always, pause this video and see if you can do it on your own. The best way to practice finding the axis of symmetry is to do an example problem.įind the axis of symmetry for the two functions shown in the images below.G can be thought of as a scaled version of F This is because, by it's definition, an axis of symmetry is exactly in the middle of the function and its reflection. In this case, all we have to do is pick the same point on both the function and its reflection, count the distance between them, divide that by 2, and count that distance away from one of the graphs. How to Find the Axis of Symmetry:įinding the axis of symmetry, like plotting the reflections themselves, is also a simple process. It can be the x-axis, or any horizontal line with the equation y y y = constant, like y y y = 2, y y y = -16, etc. The axis of symmetry is simply the horizontal line that we are performing the reflection across. But before we go into how to solve this, it's important to know what we mean by "axis of symmetry". In some cases, you will be asked to perform horizontal reflections across an axis of symmetry that isn't the x-axis. Plot new points after dividing y values by -1Īnd that's it! Simple, right? What is the Axis of Symmetry: Remember, pick some points (3 is usually enough) that are easy to pick out, meaning you know exactly what the x and y values are. Step 2: Identify easy-to-determine points So, make sure you take a moment before solving any reflection problem to confirm you know what you're being asked to do. When drawing reflections across the x x x and y y y axis, it is very easy to get confused by some of the notations. Since we were asked to plot the – f ( x ) f(x) f ( x ) reflection, is it very important that you recognize this means we are being asked to plot the reflection over the x-axis. Step 1: Know that we're reflecting across the x-axis Below are several images to help you visualize how to solve this problem. Don't pick points where you need to estimate values, as this makes the problem unnecessarily hard. When we say "easy-to-determine points" what this refers to is just points for which you know the x and y values exactly. Remember, the only step we have to do before plotting the − f ( x ) -f(x) − f ( x ) reflection is simply divide the y-coordinates of easy-to-determine points on our graph above by (-1). Given the graph of y = f ( x ) y = f(x) y = f ( x ) as shown, sketch y = − f ( x ) y = -f(x) y = − f ( x ). The best way to practice drawing reflections across the y-axis is to do an example problem: In order to do this, the process is extremely simple: For any function, no matter how complicated it is, simply pick out easy-to-determine coordinates, divide the y-coordinate by (-1), and then re-plot those coordinates. In a potential test question, this can be phrased in many different ways, so make sure you recognize the following terms as just another way of saying "perform a reflection across the x-axis":ġ) Graph y = − f ( x ) y = -f(x) y = − f ( x ) One of the most basic transformations you can make with simple functions is to reflect it across the x-axis or another horizontal axis. Before we get into reflections across the y-axis, make sure you've refreshed your memory on how to do simple vertical and horizontal translations.

Battle cry of freedom book review5/6/2023 The book is opened with equal, though less obtrusive, skill. Lincoln's sudden disappearance from the book gives us something of the shock that his contemporaries felt when he died - and the author has no space at It is breathtaking,Īlmost insolent but it is right. McPherson is pressing on to describe the very last incidents of the war. In the next sentence a new chapter begins Good Friday, 1865, is already in the past and Mr. One moment the President is making a speech, with John Wilkes Booth snarling in the crowd (''Now, by God, I'll put him through.

Windows 8 dreamboard5/6/2023 When you make your first click, which is never a mine, a random spot if picked on that net and whatever size board is positioned around that spot. What I'm thinking is that there is a huge pattern of infinte mines and patterns that stretches forever (?) in a 2-dimensional plane. I'n sure many of you have experienced this too. The patterns that were shifted appeared on the oppsite side of the board. I've has a board that was my 10 board, shifted left about six rows and up about 10. The first mention of possible shifts came when Matt posted, "Just a little theory about the board generator: I've noticed many a board that is basically a shift of another board. The board on the right is a shift of the Dreamboard. Is it possible to know how mines are placed on the board, how "randomness" is made by the program?" No one had an answer. Emmanuel Brunelliere (France) posted, "The 16 I've just got finishes on the same board that Damien Moore's 14. On Owen Fox (Ireland) tied his record of 18 seconds - on the same board he had made his original score of 18! Marc Schouten (Netherlands) noticed Matt already had made a video playing that game. Matt completed the Dreamboard in 14 seconds. If you try to copy you will miss out on the other boards." Joe Nuss (USA) wrote, "With the crazy frequency with which that baord has been showing up, i bet everyone here's had it at least once" adding that it "makes you think."Įxamples continued to accumulate. I don't know if I'd want to get that board though.I make it a rule not to try to get other peoples games.so far I got two 14's and today a 15.all excellent boards, of course. Three days later Matt blasted while playing the Dreamboard. I wish there was a way to guarantee a fresh board every time someone starts a game." It turned out that Robert had not chosen the PRNG and was unable to offer an explanation. By this point at least six examples of duplicate games had been found.Īfter Damien mentioned he was talking to Robert Donner, Dan Cerveny (USA) posted, "It will be interesting to see what Rob Donner says about the random board generator. His only complaint was not recognising the game sooner and making a faster score. On Damien recognised a Beginner game from one of Matt's videos, and he did the last three clicks from memory. David Barry (Australia) noted perhaps minesweeper used a small set of boards, similar to the way Freecell used only 32000 boards. He pointed out that such a case would have repeating patterns, and the way to make truly random boards would be to use a PRNG with a repeating pattern greater than the number of possible boards for each grid size. This would limit the number of boards on each level to a maximum of 65535 variations. Brett Piatt (USA) proposed that the game used a pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) creating 16 bit numbers. In that case, the Dreamboard would be close to the beginning of the sequence. One possibility was that Gernot had played on a second computer or had downloaded Winmine again. The same player getting a board twice was a shock than the existence of duplicate boards. Posting on he wrote, "Wow! 12 in intermediate! And Gernot got the SAME EXACT BOARD AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmmmmm, something's not right in the game of minesweeper." There was a delay posting the score on Authoritative Minesweeper, but Matt McGinley (USA) realised immediately it was on the same board. Gernot then broke his record again on, jumping from 15 to 12 seconds on Intermediate. The main feature was several screenshots of what became known as the Dreamboard. Damien posted an article on called "Random Games?" and collected examples. It soon became worrying that despite the vast number of presumed mine arrangments, records were often being made on the same boards. Over the next few months more duplicate boards were noticed. Unfortunately, the Guestbook posts from this era are lost. Thus everyone would see each board once in their lifetime in the same order. Now it was believed games generated randomly from a fixed starting point. A few days later, Lasse Nyholm (Denmark) noticed that the game was identical to an earlier 18 second game scored by Damien Moore (Canada). This changed when Gernot Stania (Germany) set a world record of 15 seconds on the Intermediate level. It was originally thought boards were generated randomly.

Andrew shiira new orleans5/6/2023 Until 1830, the majority of its residents still spoke French.Īt the start of the Civil War, New Orleans was the largest city in the Confederacy, but it was only a year until Union troops, having captured its downriver defenses, took the city unopposed. Thousands of enslaved people were sold in its markets, but its free Black community thrived. Its port shipped the produce of much of the nation’s interior to the Caribbean, South America and Europe. New Orleans in the 1800sĭuring the first half of the 19th century, New Orleans became the United States’ wealthiest and third-largest city. The final battle of the War of 1812 was fought in defense of New Orleans Colonel Andrew Jackson led a coalition of pirates, formerly enslaved African Americans and Tennessee Volunteers to defeat a British force outside the city. In 1803 Louisiana reverted to the French, who sold it to the United States 20 days later in the Louisiana Purchase. The city was ravaged by fires in 17 and rebuilt in brick with buildings and a cathedral that still stand today. For 40 years New Orleans was a Spanish city, trading heavily with Cuba and Mexico and adopting the Spanish racial rules that allowed for a class of free people of color. In 17 France signed treaties ceding Louisiana to Spain. New Orleans Under Spanish Rule and the Louisiana Purchase The oldest krewes (social clubs) that host New Orleans’ many Mardi Gras parades and balls were formed before 1860. The same year a hurricane destroyed most of the new city, which was rebuilt in the grid pattern of today’s French Quarter.ĭid you know? New Orleans’ Carnival traditions have centuries-old roots in French and Spanish Catholicism, as well as African and Native American traditions. In 1722 he transferred Louisiana’s capital from Biloxi. The expeditions of De Soto (1542) and La Salle (1682) passed through the area, but there were few permanent white settlers before 1718, when the governor of French Louisiana, Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne, Sieur de Bienville, founded the city of Nouvelle-Orléans on the first crescent of high ground above the Mississippi’s mouth. At Lakeshore Church, we believe the gospel has the power to transform a city one person at a time.The first known residents of the New Orleans area were the Native Americans of the Woodland and Mississippian cultures. Our desire is to implement strategies that focus on gospel proclamation and demonstration within a neighborhood/community context. Lakeshore Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who manifest God’s kingdom by loving Jesus, leading well, and living the gospel. Our desire is to plant a gospel-centered, multi-ethnic, cultural, and generationally-led church that mobilizes its members to engage New Orleans through their spheres and platforms of influence as they love Jesus, lead well, and live the gospel. The vision of Lakeshore Church is simple: to keep the Gospel central in everything. We believe the gospel is the “power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.” We want to saturate the city and the world with the good news by proclaiming it with clarity and love, and by practicing good deeds that glorify Jesus.We believe that the hope for New Orleans, often called the “The City That Care Forgot”, and for the nations is the Gospel of Jesus Christ.In the words of the Apostle Paul, we believe that the Gospel is of “first importance.” We should constantly reflect on it, and base our lives and ministries around it. We desire to be a blessing to the city and to the nations with our actions and our words. We believe this emphasis on the simplicity and power of the Gospel will also help us be unified. We refuse to argue over trivial matters because of the urgency of getting the Gospel to the nations.We can agree to disagree over matters that are not of first importance. In creation, God created humanity in his image. We believe that God sent Christ to redeem us that is to rescue us from our sin by dying in our place.But sin entered the world and now all people have fallen short of their purpose as God’s image bearers: to glorify God. We believe that we will one day gather with every tribe and tongue to glorify Jesus in the new heavens and new earth, restoring all things forever.Now God is at work transforming his redeemed into the image of Christ, who glorify Him. We are committed to keeping our ministry simple. We will avoid offering numerous programs. We will meet weekly for worship to know Christ and exalt Him. We will also meet weekly in sermon-based small groups for spiritual growth, community, and ministry. And we will equip covenant members to live as everyday missionaries locally and globally as they LOVE Jesus, LEAD well, and LIVE the gospel. |
