L/+ X L/+ produces the following percentages. Thus if we mate two variegated birds together. chromosome and a gene for lipochrome on the other.Ī green bird has the normal genes on each chromosome…Īll living things pass their chromosomes onto their offspring. A variegated bird has a gene for lipochrome on one. L/+ or +/L is the genotype of a variegated bird. Here we have a gene for lipochrome on each chromosome. L – denote lipochrome, the mutated variety. + – denotes melanin, the wild, normal type. This knowledge allows us to figure out what varieties of young any pairing will produce. If both genes are for melanin, the bird will be dark. If it has one gene for lipochrome and one for melanin production, it will be variegated. If a bird possesses two genes for lipochrome, it will be a clear canary. This mutation is classified as an incomplete dominant. The production of melanin is defective in the lipochrome, clear canary. Melanin is deposited in the feather giving the green phenotype. The wild canary produces melanin, the chemicals that cause the dark colors in the feather, from the proteins in its food. Charting all the possible combinations, we can then list the probability of any particular color being in the nest. We count all the single genes that come from the father, and all the single genes that come from the mother. Knowing the genotype of any pair of birds, knowing what genes they are showing and what genes they are carrying, that they are split for, allows us to predict the appearance of the young. Thus each nestling receives a set of genetic material from its father, and a set from its mother. When the egg is fertilized by the sperm cell, in the resulting fertilized egg, or zygote, the single strands combine to form a pair. These cells divide, evenly parting the genetic material, generating reproductive cells. These single strands are produced from cells with the usual double strands. The unfertilized eggs in the hen and the sperm cells in the cock bird contain single strands of chromosomes. The reproductive cells are an exception to the rule that chromosomes are found in pairs. How the genes interact with each other is the subject of genetics. Imagining any particular spot, two possibilities exist: both are the same or they are different. On each chromosome of the pair are spots that, together, control some aspect of the organisms health or physical makeup. When viewed under a microscope, the chromosomes are seen to be pairs of tiny strings. The chromosomes are the genetic blue prints of living things. Within cells are located pairs of chromosomes. The genotype tells us why a particular specimen has a certain appearance and what traits it is carrying.Īll living things are composed of cells. Knowing the genotype allows us to compute what color nestling any particular bird can produce. One must know either the ancestry of an individual, or do test matings in order to know the genotype. The genotype of an organism is its genetic description. When we describe a bird as white, yellow, red or variegated, we are defining its phenotype. The phenotype of a living thing is simply its appearance. Some knowledge of genetics is needed to understand the production of the different canary colors. The yellow, white, red ground, and mosaic canaries are all clear, lipochrome mutations. The lipochrome birds are completely devoid of dark color. Green, blue, pastel, brown, isabel, agate, opal, topaz, ino, and satinette canaries are all melanin. The original wild canary was of the melanin variety. The COLOR BRED canary is classified into two divisions: melanin and lipochrome. That produced video takes a lot less computer power to create a disk. Put the produced video on timeline, then add the chapters if needed and subtitles if needed. Especially if it takes your computer a long time to create a disk. If you have a video that has a lot of transitions or titles or other videos on tracks below the main track, It is sometimes beneficial to produce that video to a File. Sorry for the short hand information about the value of producing a video to burn to disk. WMV is the best compression and makes the smallest files. Also, I can't reinstall powerdvd, when I try it says I have cyberlink media player on my computer and I have to uninstall it first.the heck is cyberlink media player the only cyberlink programs I have on my computer are media suite 10 ( which doesn't work), and youcam. If you want just a part of your video, you remove the parts you do not want to send, then produce the video. To send a video by email (may be too big) you must produce the video to a MPEG2 or WMV, the PDS is a file of instructions to Powerdirector only. I forwarded this video to a friend by email but was told that she could not open it. I noticed that it saved as a psd (pds?) file rather than a mpeg. I just copied a very short part of one of my videos and pasted it into a new file. Then, if I'm reading you correctly, I 'bring it to the time line.' How do I bring it? If I save it at this point, is it not saved as a mpeg2? If you have not used this program before, then the price is 69.99. Upgrading to the new version is always cheaper. I edit and make it all pretty then I produce it as a mpeg2 as recommended. How much does the full version of PowerDirector 14 cost Since there is a newer version, the developers no longer support PowerDirector 14. I captured my video and it appears on the time line. But, because the state of confusion is how I typically roll, this brings another question. Regardless of the approach, on a rainy and damp day, us kids would devour the delicious results with zeal and were grateful for the offering… Mom is more of a tomato purist with more delicate flavors from freshly pureed tomatoes with very few spices. Dad loads up his roughly chopped tomatoes with green and red peppers and a heavy dose of heat and spices. Throughout my childhood my mom & dad have had a Shakshouka dispute. Add a side salad, some good bread, or if going the traditional route – some quality hot pita – and dinner is served! Beginning to finish – no more than 25-30 minutes. Then gently slide raw cracked eggs into the sauce add your choice of topping, cover and finish cooking on the stovetop or in a hot oven. Start by cooking your garlic (and onions, if using) with the olive oil and spices, add your pureed tomatoes (fresh or canned) and simmer until somewhat thickened. This dish is so popular throughout Israel for an easy breakfast or a light dinner, that Tel Aviv even boasts a restaurant dedicated solely to this dish: Dr. The secret? Tender eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, warm with cumin, paprika and more ready to be scooped up with fresh pita or crunchy bread. I’m just following tradition.Mid-winter humdrum got you down? Tired of the same boring flavors? Put together this quick, flavorful and satisfying “wake me up” Middle Eastern meal and kiss your winter blues goodbye! It’s my shakshuka and I’ll add it if I want to. I like cumin, which adds an earthy bitterness to the chile heat.Īnd, in my own addition to the shakshuka scramble, I add a little bit of Spanish pimenton de la Vera - radical, perhaps, but the smokiness adds another layer of complexity. I like harissa for heat and complexity (brands vary in spice, start low and add more to taste). In testing the recipes, I learned that I like peppers in my tomato sauce - they add sweetness and a certain silky texture. In “Jerusalem,” which came out in 2012, the shakshuka comes from his co-writer and business partner Sami Tamimi and is a more stripped-down version, that complex spicing abbreviated by the substitution of harissa, with only cumin added. In 2010’s “Plenty,” the version that drove the dish’s recent popularity, the tomato sauce is flavored with a very complex, fairly restaurant-y combination of onions, red and yellow peppers, sugar, bay leaves, fresh thyme, parsley, cilantro, saffron and cumin. If you want a perfect example of how diverse shakshuka recipes can be, you need only compare the two most recent Ottolenghi books. Transliteration, like cooking, is an art, not a science. Some prefer chakchouka, others go with shakshouka. There’s not even any definitive agreement on how the dish should be spelled in English. Most of the recipes I found included some kind of bell pepper, but there were many that did not. But because this is shakshuka, she also has variations: variously adding harissa, caraway seeds, preserved lemon, capers, cooked potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, onions and - one that I’m going to file away for later - frying it with merguez sausages. The most basic recipe I tried was from Claudia Roden’s encyclopedic “The New Book of Middle Eastern Food”: fry peppers, add garlic and tomatoes, drop in the eggs. It’s no more a single recipe than, say, “spaghetti with tomato sauce” is. Like so many traditional dishes, it is almost infinitely variable, adapting itself to the tastes of different countries, regions, cities, families and even individuals. In reality, shakshuka is more an idea than a recipe. That required several weeks of testing shakshuka recipes from various sources, and after going through pounds of peppers and tomatoes and a couple dozen eggs, I’m here to say quite definitively that shakshuka is delicious - however you fix it. Like my house.Īfter several months of playing around with the dish, I decided to get serious and really try to understand it. Granted, that popularity boom hasn’t been quite so heated as the run on eggplants inspired by the book’s cover photo, but shakshuka is definitely turning up in places it never had before. Once beloved only by cooks who follow Middle Eastern traditions, shakshuka - essentially eggs cooked in a spicy tomato sauce - had a breakout moment a couple of years ago, thanks to Yotam Ottolenghi’s cookbook “Plenty.” All of a sudden, the whole world seems to be going shakshuka. Lastly, make sure to read this interesting fact! The best way to describe it is a beautiful, energetic flutelike melody, consisting of very rapid squeaky chatters and rattles. One of the best ways to locate a House Wren is to listen for their distinctive song. And if they really want a particular nesting location, they are even known to drag eggs or babies out so that they can move in. It’s common for them to peck at much larger birds. House Wrens fight incredibly hard for the nest cavities they want. RELATED: 13 FREE Birdhouse Plans (Easy PDF/Video Instructions for Wrens!).Interestingly, House Wrens are one of the only birds that will use a nest box hanging freely and not permanently attached to a tree or post. By keeping the hole small, other birds can’t get inside to disturb the wren’s nest and babies. Please pay attention to the entrance hole’s diameter and try not to make it any larger than 1 inch in diameter. To attract House Wrens to your backyard, try hanging a nest box, as these birds will readily use them to raise their young. Before my mom could access her clothespins, she had to wait until the wrens had raised their young and abandoned the twig nest! Other weird spots for nests include boots, cans, or boxes. For example, when I was a kid, I remember we found a nest in a clothespin bag hanging outside. House Wrens are commonly encountered by people when their nests are found in odd places. They have a short tail, thin bill, and dark barring on their wings and tail. A great way to draw these wrens to your yard is to create brush piles, which offer cover for them and places for insects to gather.Īppearance-wise, House Wrens are small, brown birds. Even though they almost never visit bird feeders, they are often seen zipping through backyards while hunting insects. The House Wren is common in Massachusetts.
Quote:Sorry your experience so far has not been upto expectation. Regarding the error, if you restart SongKong, select Help:Create Support Files and then email the zip file that would give me the information required. But if using Monitor Watch Folder this continuously watches a folder looking for new folders added to it, it never ends until you have cancelled it, once you have cancelled it a report is then generated that would show changes. Looking at your comments I am not clear if you are using FixSongs or Monitor Watch Folder, if using Fix Songs it should create and open a report in your browser, then click on the Song Changes section on the left hand side, it will open up below folders that have been modified, select a folder and it shows the list of files changed on the right hand side, select one of them and it shows all the fields that have been changed with their old and new values. So firstly I would generally recommend you run SongKong over your whole collection, this gives a much better view of its matching coverage then working one album at a time since it is impossible to predict what albums it will match and what it will not. Sorry your experience so far has not been upto expectation. Do you wish me to proceed to give you feedback and should I communicate here, pm or email? Sadly I couldn't cut and paste the message so I shall try and replicate. I had expected to find this but could not open anything.ģrd try with same album and while going through the tabs on Monitor Watch Folder the application crashed with a message to report to you. Seemed to be OK and SongKong v4.6 (Trial) opened a window on my desktop.ġst try the album was not found in musicbrainz or anywhere else.Ģnd try with a different album, the album appeared to be found but I was unable to find any screens to compare my present tagging with what is proposed. I followed installation instructions for Linux (I am running openSUSE Leap42.2 which is 64 bit, with KDE desktop) and ran the shell script. Tried SongKong last night and so far I am not getting on very well. This feature is only in the "SongKong for Melco" version, though it doesn't seem to have any particular connection with whether or not you are a Melco user. There has been some previous forum discussion of this (see this post). For more information on SongKong, see this page.Īnother feature of SongKong is its ability to translate Naim tags into industry standard tags within your files. It matched just over 50% of my files and the tagging results are good, with only a few minor problems which the author is working on fixing. The MusicBrainz metadata isn't always complete and consistent, so SongKong applies some algorithms of its own to produce a better result. SongKong scans your files and tries to find matches in the MusicBrainz database, then retags your files based on the metadata in MuiscBrainz. Another such program is Bliss (see this page) and another is SongKong, which has recently added support for classical music tagging (see this page). One of these is MusiCHi (see this page), which has been discussed in this forum. There are programs whose purpose is to fix this and give you a consistent set of tags throughout your library. If your library includes files created by various ripping programs over many years and/or downloaded from different sites that use different tagging conventions, the tagging is likely to be inconsistent to a greater or lesser extent. For some users, keeping their library tagged consistently is a labour of love for others, it is an unwelcome chore. Working closely with Bardeen the duo tinkered about with additional materials soon and discovered that applying a positive electrical charge to the device gave them a larger amplification while a negative charge removed the amplification completely. He later explained that he was "just being lazy" but, to his surprise, the wet device immediately showed a slight level of amplification. Rather than take the time to reset everything, Brattain took the counterintuitive move of immersing the experiment in water. Because condensation would continuously build up on the silicon component of the device, Brattain realized he needed to conduct the experiment in a vacuum environment. Then one afternoon, Brattain was conducting a series of tests on how electrons acted on the surface of a semiconductor, investigating why the way they acted made an amplifier impossible. With his field effect idea effectively stalled out, Shockley assigned fellow physicists John Bardeen - destined to become the only person to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics twice - and Walter Brattain to figure out what was causing all of the problems.Īfter almost two years, the team had still failed to come up with a working semi-conductor amplifier. In early 1945, Shockley designed a semi-conductor amplifier that he hoped would successfully operate on the basis of "field effect." The device consisted of a small cylinder with a thin coat of silicon mounted next to a metal plate.Īlas, Shockley's revolutionary design at first led only to repeated failures. They also had a reputation for "exuberant" parties and lunches. Working closely, members regularly bounced ideas and problems off of one another. Composed of brilliant individuals from diverse scientific disciplines, the group had great chemistry. Kelly handed the problem off to the company's Solid State Physics group, a highly creative team headed by renowned physicist William Shockley. He had done some reading on the development of a new class of materials called semi-conductors and decided they had potential. Mervin Kelly, President of Bell Laboratories, a subsidiary of AT&T, was actively searching for a sturdier and more efficient alternative to vacuum tubes. They also generated lots of heat and often burned out, costing a great deal of money to replace. There was however a problem with using vacuum tubes to amplify signals: The tubes were too often unreliable, as they took time to warm up before operating. With regular amplification along a line, people could participate in telephone conversations over vast distances. Since 1907, the American Telephone and Telegraph Company ("AT&T") had used vacuum tubes to amplify voice signals along their lines. Considered the most important invention of the 20th century, this itty-bitty technology has literally transformed every field of industry and improved the lives of every man, woman, and child on Earth.Īs with almost every great invention, transistors were born out of need in the immediate aftermath of World War II. Good things, as they say, come in small packages and nothing smaller or better has ever arrived than the transistor. We all want to avoid venomous snakes, especially the most dangerous ones that can easily take down a human with one quick bite. About 8,000 people in the United States are bitten by rattlesnakes each year, but with only about five fatalities per year.
Now, in 21st-century America, cake is being pressed into service for societal conflicts that have nothing to do with celebrations or deliciousness. Martha Stewart’s media empire was an early adopter, but it took the Baltimore baker Duff Goldman to bring the movement to the masses with his Food Network show “ Ace of Cakes,” which ran from 2006 to 2011.Ĭake, of course, has long played a symbolic role, from the barley cakes the ancient Romans served at weddings to the Chinese bean-paste cakes that celebrate the new year to the elaborate quinceañera cakes that mark the transition of Latinas into adulthood. Gradually add the icing sugar and milk 3. The late 1990s were the beginning of what might be called the Modern Fondant Era, in which cakes became more sculpture than confection. Gender Reveal Mini Cupcakes- Easy Idea for a Gender Reveal 1. How did we get here? The gender-reveal cake emerged from a mash-up of baking trends, social shifts and technology.īoth Pinterest and Instagram were born in 2010, providing ready-made platforms to broadcast the big reveal and show off an increasingly elaborate subculture of cake decorating. (Still, PopSugar last month featured a “Game of Thrones”-themed gender-reveal party with a giant gold dragon-egg piñata filled with pink confetti.) She, like many other students of American pop culture, believes that the phenomenon is waning - assailed, in part, by the national discussion about gender identity. Directions: To make cream filling: Beat butter and shortening until smooth. “I’m sorry if we helped put it on its trajectory,” Ms. A gender reveal involving a rifle and a target caused an explosion last fall that burned more than 45,000 acres in Arizona.Ĭake, meanwhile, has been pressed into service to break all manner of news, including college acceptances and vasectomies. Genders can now be declared by lasagnas with tinted ricotta, nail art or alligators. The urge to brag about baby has moved far beyond desserts.

Even Easier Gender Reveal Cupcakes Option 1 Bake cupcakes using your favorite cupcake recipe. In the decade since, bakeries dedicated solely to gender reveals have opened. To see if we could make On1 show our layers, we thought our normal workflow of using Colorspace: ProPhoto RGB, at 16 bits may explain why the layered photo was coming up as a single layerin On1. The edit comes up, but it doesn’t show the Layers! The same problem occurs if you are in the browse setting and click the “Layers” option at the right. “Lens Correction”, then unfortunately “Layers” is not visible because you have to scroll up. This was frustrating also, but it appears the reason that nothing happened is that the Layers palette is part of the “Develop” panel. I navigated to Windows -> Layers (Ctl+2) and NOTHING happened. What is worse, is that I couldn’t FIND the Layers window. The document was created in maximum compatibility mode and has layer groups and layers, but it renders in On1 as a single layer. Next we tried loading a previously created. However on our display at some point On1 Tools became garbled. Our primary display has text size set to 200% so that we can easily capture readable screenshots as well as assuage our tired old eyes. Searching in the online help for “undo maximize” or even “maximize” didn’t find anything, by the way. After hunting in “View -> Maximize” (which made no sense!) we were able to restore the window to add the minimize/maximize window options on the title bar and then drag to downsize the window. On1 came up in the same place we had left off, but MAXIMIZED again with no controls to minimize. So we killed the program with Alt-F4 and restarted. We tried “Escape”, looking in the various toolbars… No joy. Unfortunately we made the mistake of “enlarging” to full screen and then could NOT find how to make the window smaller again. This is MUCH, MUCH faster and more efficient than Lightroom, and even faster than Adobe Bridge (which doesn’t require importing either). The folder was previously browsed with Adobe Bridge and loaded VERY fast, the entire directory came up with the images and the ratings that were previously applied. in-your-face) getting started box, we “Browsed” to a folder containing our recent work. We quickly fired up On1, and after dismissing the modal (i.e. Years ago when we installed an older version (7.5 Perfect Suite) we got a warning about incompatible display cards near the end of the long install, but that was on older hardware. Photoshop never warned us like that. When we started the install, we were warned to close Photoshop.Īfter dismissing Photoshop it ran a while (3 min 45 seconds) to install. For this test we installed on an aging 4 core 8Gb RAM Lenovo laptop machine with Windows 10, 64-bit. Fair enough since On1 includes plugins for various Photoshop components. Installation proceeded slowly, and it required shutdown of Photoshop CC. On1 is available for windows or Mac operating systems. For the purpose of this discussion, our review was of 2019.1. If you have more than one computer or frequently upgrade computers, you may exhaust the number of installs. I am also not clear how they enforce the number of installs allowed. At times ON1 has allowed 5 seats, the fact that its not spelled out on their site implies the number of seats is subject to change. Their site says “ When you purchase ON1 Photo RAW 2019.2 you receive a perpetual license“. How many copies you are allowed to use is a murky area that is not spelled out clearly on their site. And much better than purchasing Photoshop CS6. That price brings it under the cost of upgrading to or purchasing Photoshop CS6 (although it’s not clear you can do that anymore), and because On1 is a perpetual license, the three-year cost of ownership is $260 (one purchase, two annual upgrades) versus the best possible three year cost for Adobe Photographers subscription bundle of $360. The pricing as of May, 2019 is $80 for the complete software (discounted from $100 – as is often the case). The contenders are: Gimp (free, multi-platform), On1 Perfect Photo Suite (now called RAW 2019), and Affinity. You really can not argue with its features (bloated as they are) or price ($120/year), or abundance of resources on how to use, abuse, and creatively curse at Photoshop as a tool. However we will also tell you that Photoshop is the 600 pound Gorilla. We at StarCircleAcademy took a look at various alternatives to Photoshop in case you aren’t willing to engage the “rent for life” strategy. The optics of the rental model are anathema for many people. The latest version of Photoshop (Photoshop CC, aka Photoshop CC 2019)… it’s a rent-for-life or get-out-of-Dodge model. Adobe long ago reduced their price for the Photoshop/Lightroom bundle to $10/month but for years now no longer has a way to purchase and outright own Photoshop. |
