Peter Moyes Anglican Community School is an independent Anglican co-educational early learning, primary, and secondary day school, located in , an outer northern suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The school was established in 2000 and caters for early learning and K-12 education. The school is named in honour of Peter Moyes, the first Director of the Anglican Schools' Commission.

History
In 1997, the Anglican Schools' Commission was in need of a campus in the Mindarie region. Construction of the school began in 2000, incorporating solely a primary school building. The school opened shortly after, with the construction of the Middle School and Science buildings completed one year later. In the years following, many features were added to the school such as the Creative Arts building and the auditorium (named the "Allan Shaw Centre" after the school's first principal, Allan Shaw). The construction of the senior school building finished in 2012. In 2016, both a gymnasium and a new administration building were added to the school.

School crest
The school crest has many symbolic meanings. The Bishop mitre placed at the top of the crest signifies the connection between the School and the Anglican Church.
The left panel of the shield depicts white outlined waves in a green background. The waves represent the location of the school being near the ocean. The green represents one of the school's primary colours and its location in Mindarie. One of the many meanings for Mindarie can be "place of green water".

The right panel depicts the stems of grass trees which gives a linked connection to the family name of Peter Moyes. Moyes is an old French name for Moses, who as a baby was set adrift on the Nile River in a small craft of bulrushes to save him from slaughter by the Pharaoh's Egyptian guards. It also symbolises another meaning of Mindarie: "dry leaves from a grasstree".

The book represents learning and the Greek letters Alpha and Omega symbolise "the beginning and the end", meaning learning continues all through life.

House system
The school has five houses:
Lingiari House - named after Vincent Lingiari
Hollows House - named after Fred Hollows
Durack House - named after Mary Durack
Cuthbert House - named after Betty Cuthbert
Florey House - named after Howard Florey

Every year the houses compete in a variety of activities, most commonly inter-house sporting carnivals. These include a swimming carnival, a cross country carnival and an athletics carnival. Participation in inter-school sports carnivals is optional, competing against other schools in sports such as netball, basketball, soccer and athletics.

Judge's dismissal of atheist's harassment claim against Muslim makes waves
By Dugald McConnell and Brian Todd, CNN
(CNN) - A protester who ridiculed the Muslim prophet Mohammed claims he was assaulted by a Muslim who was offended by the stunt, but a judge has sympathized with the alleged perpetrator, in a case that has drawn national attention.
Self-proclaimed atheist Ernie Perce marched in a Halloween parade in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania last October, dressed in a costume mocking Mohammed.
In a YouTube video he posted, Perce can be seen wearing a long fake beard, a white turban and green face paint, calling out provocative phrases like: "I am the prophet Mohammed! Zombie from the dead!" Perce and someone else in a zombie-themed pope costume are carrying a banner that reads "The Parading Atheists of Central Pennsylvania / Ghoulish – Godless – God-Awful."
CNN's Belief Blog: The faith angles behind the biggest stories
Then a man who is not seen on the video can be heard saying, "Take it down." Amid sounds of a scuffle, Perce can be heard saying "Hey, he's attacking me!"
Perce told CNN affiliate WHTM that the man "grabbed me, choked me from the back, and spun me around, to try to get my sign off that was wrapped around my neck."
Based on Perce's complaint, a Muslim named Talaag Elbayomy was charged with harassment. But on December 6, District Judge Mark Martin dismissed the case, saying it was one person's word against another's, and that there was no other evidence or eyewitness testimony to prove that Elbayomy had harassed or touched the alleged victim.
The judge also scolded Perce, saying he'd been needlessly provocative on an issue sensitive with Muslims.
Follow the CNN Belief Blog on Twitter
"You have that right, but you're way outside your bounds of First Amendment rights," Martin said, according to a recording Perce made of the court hearing. "I think our forefathers intended that we use the First Amendment so that we can speak our mind, not to piss off other people and other cultures, which is what you did."
The judge went on to point out that in many Muslim countries, ridiculing Mohammed could warrant the death penalty under Islamic law.
Critics say Martin's lecture shows he used Muslim cultural grounds to excuse a deplorable assault, and failed to defend an atheist's First Amendment rights.
"That's greatly disturbing to people that believe in free speech," said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley. "You can say things that are hurtful to others. We hope that you don't, but you most certainly can be protected. People like Thomas Paine spent his entire life ticking off people across the colonies."
Former terrorism prosecutor Andrew C. McCarthy, writing on the blog of National Review, accused the judge of allowing the Muslim suspect to invoke a "Sharia defense – what he claimed was his obligation to strike out against any insult against the prophet Mohammed."
And Perce said of Judge Martin, "He let a man who is Muslim, because of his preference of his culture and his way of life, walk free, from an attack."
The judge, in a phone interview with CNN, defended his ruling.
"The commonwealth didn't present enough evidence to show me that this person is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt," Martin said. "That's why I dismissed the case. Nothing as nefarious as what everyone's thinking, that I'm a Muslim or I'm biased. I'm actually a Lutheran."
Martin added that he has served three tours of duty, totaling more than two years, in Iraq and Afghanistan, where he learned more about Muslim culture.
"It just amazes me that people think that I'm biased towards Islam," he added. "I got sniped at once, I got ambushed once, I got attacked by a mob once... I've served close to 27 years in the military - and have gone overseas - exactly to preserve that right [freedom of speech.]"
But Martin also repeated his criticism of the atheist protester. "With rights come responsibilities. The more people abuse our rights, the more likely that we're going to lose them," he said. " We need to start policing up our own actions, using common sense, in how we deal with others."
Attorney R. Mark Thomas, who represented the Muslim suspect, blamed Perce for the Halloween altercation. "The so-called victim was the antagonist," he told WHTM. "I think this was a good dressing down by the judge."
A blog post by the group American Atheists disagrees. "That a Muslim immigrant can assault a United States citizen," it says, "in defense of his religious beliefs and walk away a free man, while the victim is chastised and insulted... is a horrible abrogation."

I'm an atheist, but I despise when other atheists and agnostics disrespect other religions. I have lived among all kinds of religious groups and I have the up most respect for them. Some may seem a little crazy to people, but that does not matter, what matters are your own personal beliefs, that you keep to yourself. Maybe there are radicals out there, but that should not give anyone reason to counter attack. Two wrongs do not make a right.
So one of them is a "self proclaimed" atheist and the other is just a muslim. Way to write this piece in an unbiased way. Apparently religious people have their self-proclaimed religion accepted by default but atheists are just "self proclaimed." This goes to show, atheists face worse discrimination than even muslims.
Agreed. I'm Atheist, but I'm also gay. The best way I can put it is this:
If I were straight, I'd still be Atheist,
If I were religious, I'd still be gay.
It offends me when religious people try to "save" me based on their determination of why they think I need to be "saved", but I think I find it even more offensive that any myth, fairy tale, delusion, or what-have-you can be completely accepted in this society, but the ones who are considered "off" are the ones like me who find religious beliefs absurd.
As Bill Maher just said....faith is just an opinion.
Seriously, what is it that can make a normally rational human being believe in something that can never be proven and at the same time make them believe that those of us who don't believe in mythological fiction are the ones who are crazy?
While Islam is not a "religion of death" or the Koran a "book of death", it is not unreasonable for immigrants to the United States to behave in a manner commensurate with their new home. The United States is not a place for the intolerant or those certain that their way is the only right way. While The United States does have such citizens it is hope that they are a declining minority and that in time they will disappear. Perhaps in another country it is acceptable to attack demonstrators -and the proposition that an attack occurred is sufficient for the presentation of the argument- however, here, the correct act is to mount a counter demonstration when one disagrees with the thoughts and ideas of another group.
Individuals who have left another country to come to The United States must be aware in some manner that whatever it may be that is done different in this country affected their choice to immigrate to The United States. The desire to leave somewhere else is insufficient in as much as a myriad of other nations will take refugees from oppressive regimes the world over. The reader is reminded that whatever the justification for oppression in the end oppression is something inflicted on human beings by other human beings. The fact that a man chooses not to believe in what another man does is not a justification for an action that is simply unacceptable behavior for a potential citizen of The United States.
This Author feels that the judge in question erred in his statements justifying his decision and the plaintiff is almost certain to obtain a new trial at the least on appeal. Moreover, the fundamental error in the judge's statement can be seen by the simple expedient of a counter example: should a white supremacist attack an African American man it would be considered a hate crime without regards to what anyone was saying at the time. While provocative speech may be seen as a mitigation, it is most assuredly not a justification.
Atheism is as justifiable a belief system and perhaps more so than the Abrahmaic religions in general and the rights of an individual to express themselves must not be allowed to be infringed upon by anyone lest their actions create the very environment they sought to escape. Cartoons or costumes, the followers of Islam that reside within the most democratic of nations must accept that freedom and democracy mean something more than they perhaps expected.
This is a problem that will continue to rise in frequency and notoriety in as much as it is certain to occur again. I sincerely hope that forums such as this would open the door to frank and honest discussion. It is also this author's hope that individuals would treat each other with respect and kindness. Please, Ladies and Gentlemen, avoid arguments from ignorance and Ad Hominem and/or strawman attacks and make your point without resorting to insults or jingoism.
Mike Williams
"I've served close to 27 years in the military – and have gone overseas – exactly to preserve that right [freedom of speech.]"
This judge is clearly a moron if he actually believes that anything he did in the military came close to preserving anyone's rights.
That judge should be removed from the bench.
wilypagan
Why doesn't the ACLU get involved with this? Although the Muslim perpetrator was not a government actor, the court's approval of his assault on the atheist arguably could be considered state action. Since the ACLU protects the KKK and other disliked groups, how about a little support for this atheist, who is simply the canary in the coal mine when it comes to warning us of the creeping descent into Shariah law in this country.
Due to Saudi money, Harvard and Yale are under Muslim thrall. Time to stop the influence of backward and discriminatory cultures in our great nation. It is an issue of national security. Very scary that this "judge" is a military officer. What's next? Forced submission to the "religion of peace"?
The ACLU has no problem with people that hate America. Only people that don't hate America need to get jammed up by the ACLU.
janelle
There was no evidence against the man who was charged. The tape dosn't show who assaulted the man in costume. If it's one person's word against another's and there is no evidence, you can't try and convict someone.
A. Anderson
I am surprised that so many people find a problem with this judge. Our freedon of speech as Americans should not mean freedom to yell fire in a movie theater..... should not mean Westboro Baptist Church can picket outside of the private funerals of dead American Military men and women because "god hates gay people"....Should not mean you can wear a klan costume at the BET awards.... or dress up as Hitler at a Bar Mitzvah.....nor should you dress up as a Mohamad to get a cheap laugh. The founding fathers were very clear that our freedom of speech does not and should not trample on others right to Life, Liberty, and pursuit of happiness.
momoya
So you htink that it's perfectly alright to ASSAULT someone who SAYS something offensive?
rjinx
I couldn't have said it better.
Did he say or even insinuate it is ok to assault someone who says something offensive? This idiot was out to insult someone else's religion...nothing more. The judge essentially said he did not have enough evidence an assault occurred....read the story.
But, there was no evidence that the person who was being charged assaulted the man in costume, or anyone else. With no evidence, you can't try and convict someone.
Doc Vestibule
If your definition of freedom of speech has a "except when" in it, then you don't believe in the principle of free speech.
I will answer that question. If the ONLY reason you are saying something is to INSULT SOMEONE, then I think it is your duty to ASSAULT THAT PERSON
It seems like as long as you have 'A' religion, you're protected under the law, no matter how nonsensical that belief system is. Who wants to join my new Church of the Divine Washing Machine? It's better then being burned as a heretic!
Join the Church of The Subgenius
It's only $30 to become an ordained minister and they offer eternal salvation or triple your money back.
Praise "Bob"
If what gets washed in that washing machine is my brain, then I'd say your "new" religion is just like all the rest.
medstudent
So Westboro can go about being as offensive as possible, but insult a muslim and they can assault you?
Someone get this judge off his seat
Do you think that they haven't been assaulted before? They sue people for it all the time, it's literally a source of revenue for them.
Call the judge's office now:

And to those who never thought something like this would happen in the US – it has officially happened. This needs to be stopped immediately, the judge removed from the bench, and his license revoked. Imagine the uproar if the judge ruled in favor of a Christian and stated he did only because he is a Christian too.
That's not what happened at all.
jdoe
The judge is condoning attacks on people because of religious sensibilities. This is a dangerous precedent.
So you think this guy had religious sensibilities? Get outta here....
So, I can attack a Muslim because according to his beliefs (which are provoking), by belly should be burned, head cut off etc. etc.... goes on for about 60 pages or so. I mean, I find the religion hateful and evil, so.... if I feel provoked to attack, that's ok?
Are you talking about US or Saudi? Although after this case, never mind.
Many Christian beliefs are just as provocative. Does this mean it is open season to assault anybody who holds any religious beliefs?
Here is the judge's pro-Islam rant where cites Sharia law, declares he is a Muslim and says he was offended by the victim:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf11F3y9LOE&feature=youtu.be
fck atheists theyre all a pack of fggts and sociopaths anyway...marching right back into the Stone Ages they are...
STFU and get back in your trailer.
AverageJoe76
D – Why so serious?
I would wager that a majority of atheists are more educated and civilized than you are.
This is too confusi8ng for right wing extremists. The comments are all over the place. They need Rush Limbaugh or the other propaganda artists to give them talking points.
This is too confusing for right wing extremists. The comments are all over the place. They need Rush Limbaugh or the other propaganda artists to give them talking points.
Half of the atheists I know are exemplary citizens who spend much of their time doing charity work. The other half listen to death metal and loiter in McDonald's parking lots. 99% are OWS protesters. lol
the atheist is going to hell, it will be a safari for him.
joking apart, it was a horrible decision by the judge. While I belive that the athiest went out of bounds with his acts, violence was unwarranted. He should be punished.
Did you hear about the dyslexic atheist? He doesn't believe in dog.
Atheists have the same right to free speech as religious zealots. The judge's ruling was absolutely wrong!!
The judge's ruling wasn't wrong. This wasn't about denying one man's 1st Amendment rights. The charge of Harassment was dismissed because there wasn't sufficient evidence.
What gets a lot of people upset about this case (and I feel that the judge erred) was with his lecture, which came across as heavy handed and justifying the accused actions.
This judge is a joke and should work at Subway as a sandwich artist.
god is imaginary
judge is a christard
aggiemara
The judge is Muslim, too. So get your insult right, okay? Try, Islamonazi.
@aggiemara. Did you not bother to read the article? The Judge is a Lutheran. That's a branch of the Christian faith

Historic Chinese coins, patterns highlight Künker auction
Published: Apr 18, 2014, 10 AM
An 1896 silver dollar from China's Pei-Yang Province led all bidding in Fritz Rudolph Künker's March 2014 auction No. 246, realizing a hammer price of €140,000 (about $194,247 U.S.).
Images courtesy of www.kuenker.de.
Two Chinese pattern coins with origins in Germany — they were struck by dies created by the Otto Beh Company on presses from the Louis Schuler Company — highlighted the March 2014 Künker auction. The undated circa 1897 brass 7 mace, 2 candareens (dollar) pattern realized €38,000 (about $52,730 U.S.).
An 1896 dollar from China's Pei-Yang Province led all bidding in Fritz Rudolph Künker's auction No. 246 on March 11 and 12, 2014.
The coin realized a hammer price of €140,000 (about $194,247 in U.S. funds) compared to an estimate of €15,000 (about $20,812 U.S.). It was one of 150 lots of Chinese coins, ranging from issues of the Zhou Dynasty (1122 to 255 B.C.) to modern coins, offered in the auction.
The Year 22 (1896) coin was graded Mint State 62 by Numismatic Guaranty Corp., which notes that the grade corresponds to Extremely Fine to Mint State under the European grading standards.
The buyer's fee varies depending on lot and location of the winning bidder, but may range from 15 to 23 percent, so it is not reflected in the totals here.
Other highlights include two pattern coins from Fungtien, in Fengtien Province. Both patterns reflect the growing need in China for minting technology as the country made the transition from traditional coinage to modern, machine-struck coins.
The patterns include a 7-mace, 2-candareen (dollar) piece and a 1-mace, 4.4-candareen (20 cents) piece, both undated but struck circa 1897 in brass.
The patterns come from the archives of a German firm, the Otto Beh Company. Beh was a subcontractor for the Louis Schuler Co., another German firm also in the state of Baden-Wurrtumberg. In 1895, Schuler received the contract to provide presses and minting equipment to China, and Beh was subcontracted to complete the dies (called "minting stamps" in the catalog). Beh produced more than 200 "embossing punches" for the order, which was the firm's largest to that point.
In 2009 the Beh Company celebrated its 125th anniversary, and a catalog of the medals, badges and pins it has created was issued.
Schuler also remains active today, still delivering coinage presses to Asia and around the world.
The dollar pattern was graded EF and realized €38,000 (about $52,730 U.S.). The 20-cent piece was graded EF and realized €18,000 (about $24,982 U.S.).
The auction was one of four conducted across five days (March 10 to 14) in Osnabrück. Together all four sales (in total containing 6,129 lots) realized a hammer price estimated at €8.75 million (about $12.1 million dollars U.S.).
Catalogs and results of the firm's spring auctions may be viewed online at the firm's website, www.kuenker.de. For more details, telephone the firm at (011) 49 541 96 20 or email it at service@kuenker.de.

Q: How can I setup my local Nginx server so I can edit the files? I have my local development machine running Arch Linux, Nginx, PHP-FPM and MySQL.
In order for the websites I am working on to run the files need to be owned by the http user. The files are currently located in folders like this:
/srv/http/site1/
/srv/http/site2/

When I use the following chown command on the http folder the sites work fine, but I cannot edit the files with my user:
chown -R http.users /srv/http

When I do this the sites do not work, but I can edit the files:
chown -R shane.http /srv/http

How can I make it so that my user can edit the files, and the web server can run them at the same time?
Thank you

A: You can recursively setfacl the folder to give you write etc. while still have http own the tree. Acl should be supported in arch linux. Man getfacl and man setfacl for details.

Raiden V: Director's Cut Review (PS4)
I hate to have to admit this but Raiden V makes a heck of a lot more sense and works a lot better on PS4 than it did on Xbox One. The core game itself is fine on both platforms, don't misunderstand, but the focus on real time leaderboards and an interactive "Cheer" system never got off the ground on Xbox simply due to not having enough players. On PlayStation 4, on the other hand, there are more than enough active players to make these innovative new features actually function properly and the result is by far the best version of Raiden V you can buy. See all of the details in our full Raiden V: Director's Cut review.
Publisher: UFO Interactive
Developer: MOSS
ESRB Rating: "E10" for Everyone 10+
Genre: Shoot-Em-Up
Pros: Fun gameplay; real time score chart; lots of content; cheer system actually works!
Cons: Messy visuals; pointless story
MSRP: $35 (digital) $40 (physical limited edition)
Raiden V originally released on Xbox One in May 2016 and is now on PS4 and Steam in October 2017 via the Raiden V: Director's Cut. For the most part it isn't terribly different from the original XONE release, but there are a handful of extra missions and bonus stages exclusive to the Director's Cut. This review is going to mostly cover the differences between the two versions, so if you want a more nuts and bolts description of Raiden V pleasesee my original Xbox One review.
The most important difference in the PS4 version of Raiden V is that the cheer system actually works. Just to recap, the Cheer system is a real time way for players to interact with each other by cheering each other on when they accomplish specific things. An icon pops up in the upper left corner of the screen when you can cheer someone and by pressing the Triangle button you help them fill a special power meter in their game. Likewise, other players can cheer you as well.
On the Xbox One, even on launch day and during the week of launch in May 2016, the most cheers I ever got was maybe 50-60 over the entire course of the game (and made a Let's Play of the game where I only got 4 cheers total ...). Trying to play it on Xbox again this week – the second week of October 2017 – I got zero cheers and only saw one other player online that I could cheer. Playing Raiden V on PlayStation 4, however, was a totally different experience. My first playthrough of the game on PS4, which takes about an hour, earned me 3500 cheers while I was also cheering people constantly myself.
By actually having people cheer you, Raiden V is a fairly different game. The special attacks you can activate when your cheer meter fills can mean the difference between life and death and really help you clear tough sections of levels. On Xbox I could only use the Cheer attacks a handful of times per playthrough. On PS4 you can use them almost continuously. It is crazy. It almost certainly won't keep up this pace forever, but it will almost assuredly maintain a stronger playerbase purely because of the larger platform install base and exponentially larger Japanese audience on PS4. The larger playerbase also, naturally, means more competitive leaderboards as well.
For the most part the rest of the game, good and bad, is the same on PS4 as it was on Xbox One. The gameplay is still fantastic and fun shoot-em-up loveliness, of course, but it still has messy visuals that make it hard to tell what is going on through the hail of bullets and special effects onscreen. Your shots and enemy shots just blend together and enemies tend to blend in to the background and it is harder to play than a lot of other shmups. Still fun. Still playable. Just not as easy to see as other games. Another slight issue is the bizarre focus on an incomprehensible story told through tiny text on the side of the screen while you're busy fighting through bullet hell and can't read it anyway.
Overall, though, it is kind of nice to see Raiden V finally live up to it's potential after sort of being wasted on Xbox One for a year and a half. Leaderboards and the cheer system are such a vital part of the core Raiden V experience and they just didn't function on Xbox, but they're alive and well on PS4. One thing that contributed to the Xbox One version's struggles was it launched at $50, which was kind of nuts and scared off a lot of folks. The Raiden V: Director's Cut is $35 (download) on PS4, which makes a lot more sense. The lower starting price and functional online features on PS4 combined with the already solid gameplay foundation make the Raiden V: Director's Cut easy to recommend for shoot-em-up fans. Buy it.

WAVE MECHANICS ULTRATOOLS: PLUG-IN SUITE FOR PRO TOOLS
UltraTools is a suite of plug-ins by Wave Mechanics that works with Digidesign's Pro Tools TDM system, as well as third-party programs that utilize the
Walt Szalva
UltraTools is a suite of plug-ins by Wave Mechanics that works with Digidesign's Pro Tools TDM system, as well as third-party programs that utilize the Pro Tools|24 MIX hardware. The suite consists of four different plug-ins: PitchBlender, TimeBlender, Pure Pitch and Pitch Doctor (each plug-in may also be purchased individually). I tested the UltraTools suite with Emagic's Logic Audio (using Digidesign's Pro Tools|24 MIX hardware and DAE) and Pro Tools.
SoundBlenderWave Mechanics groups two separate plug-ins called PitchBlender and TimeBlender into a single module dubbed SoundBlender. PitchBlender and TimeBlender are based on the same architecture and feature similar user interfaces. A lot of DSP power is required to run these plug-ins, and the hit on your TDM farm cards will be substantial-each instance of either PitchBlender or TimeBlender takes up one entire chip on a farm card. However, when I began to tap into the number of tweak options available, I understood why these plug-ins are so DSP-hungry.
The DSP "engine" of the SoundBlender module shared by both plug-ins is a 2-channel effects processor that combines delay, filtering, panning and modulation. Many of the parameters within these features are identical within each of the plug-ins. The main variable component is that pitch-shifting is utilized in the PitchBlender plug-in, and reverse pitch-shifting is used in TimeBlender.
The Main parameter page contains the most frequently used parameters for quickly tweaking the sound of a particular preset. Most of the functions on this page act as master controls, and their functions are related to parameter settings found on other pages. The functions are Mix, Feedback, Master Pitch, Master Delay, Mod Rate and Mod Depth. A BPM and Trigger control function with a variable threshold are identical in both plug-ins, and trigger sources include sidechain, input, output 1, output 2, mod 1 output, mod 2 output or mod 3 output. You can also trigger a modulation manually with the mouse, and mods can be recorded as automation events. An "expert" section contains parameters for reconfiguring the signal flow and optimizing the audio processing.
Both plug-ins have a nearly identical modulation engine, with the only difference being the pitch range (+/-2400 cents in PitchBlender vs. +/-3600 cents in TimeBlender). The modulation control panel is very complex and feature-filled, and I'm sure that an entire article could be written about this feature of SoundBlender alone. The basic structure is based on three modulation sources that can be mixed and routed to dozens of effects parameters. Mod rates can be adjusted as units of frequency or bpm, and a wide range of modulation waveform and trigger options are available.
The filter section is a good way to really mangle an input source by altering the frequency of the audio, much like the filter of an analog synthesizer. The filters can be programmed to reduce high or low frequencies, eliminate or enhance a band of frequencies, or create highly resonant effects. Modulating the filter frequencies can create many synthlike effects. The parameter controls are quite extensive, and tweakheads will have a ball morphing the most basic sound into complex timbral masterpieces with a click of the mouse.
The delay section of SoundBlender contains two digital delay lines; typical delay effects include echo, slap delays and rhythmic effects. Delay values can be modulated to create chorus, flange, vibrato and other extreme modulation effects. Delay time parameters can be adjusted in milliseconds or bpm; the maximum delay time in PitchBlender is 700 milliseconds and 1,000 milliseconds in TimeBlender.
PITCHBLENDERThe PitchBlender plug-in is a 2-channel effects processor that combines pitch-shifting features with the delay, filtering, panning and modulation components that are shared by both plug-ins. The actual implementation of PitchBlender consists of two pitch shifters, two digital delays, two filters, a mixer and a feedback matrix. The basic effects modules can be "rewired" and modulated in many different ways, allowing for endless varieties of signal-processing effects. The signal-processing parameters are grouped into pages, easily accessible via a mouse click.
Two channels of pitch shifting are available and can be used to create detune and chorus effects, harmony generation, arpeggiation and some pretty wild pitch modulations. The pitch shifters in PitchBlender do not preserve the formant structure of source material (unlike PurePitch, as explained below). The shift parameters have a +/-2400 cent resolution and can be modified in one-cent increments. The output of the two pitch shifters may be panned anywhere within the stereo field, and a constant power panning algorithm will maintain a constant loudness across the stereo field. Level parameters adjust output levels of the two pitch shifters, with 0 dB representing unity gain.
The Pitch Mapper adds harmony and arpeggiation features to the two pitch shifters. For harmony generation, Pitch Mapper analyzes the pitch of the input signal and dynamically adjusts the pitch shift interval depending on the detected pitch, the selected key and the selected pitch-shift interval. Arpeggiation patterns are created by modulating a pitch mapper with one of the various modulation sources. A series of scale patterns available as presets ranging from Western diatonic to microtonal Eastern can be used to build harmonically interesting and rhythmically complex arpeggiations based on whatever aural building foundation is used as a modulation source. Pitch-based arpeggiation material can be adjusted to whatever key is desired.
TimeBlenderTimeBlender is a 2-channel plug-in that combines reverse pitch shifting with the delay, filtering, panning and modulation components shared by both plug-ins. The Pitch and Delay section of TimeBlender replaces the pitch-shifter section found in PitchBlender, and as mentioned above, TimeBlender uses two channels of reverse pitch-shifting as its main component feature.
Each reverse pitch shifter continuously samples small segments of audio and plays back the sampled segments in reverse. The length and the playback pitch of the segments can be varied and routed throughout the different sections of the plug-in (Mix, Feedback, Master Pitch, Master Delay, Mod Rate and Mod Depth as described previously).
How do they sound? The manual describes SoundBlender as "radical effects for creative audio production," and this is definitely not an understatement. Options abound for everything from the seemingly mundane (such as chorusing, flanging, vibrato and delays), to the profound (check out the "Nightmare Sequence" preset in PitchBlender or the "Crystallizer" effects in TimeBlender), and the results can be stunning. I used the filter section of PitchBlender on a remix I was working on, and the client was literally jumping up and down with glee. A large number of interesting presets have been programmed by the engineers at Wave Mechanics, but don't be afraid to tweak-the results will never fail to yield surprises.
One problem I discovered involves Logic Audio and is not the fault of the SoundBlender plug-ins: Automating plug-in activity (which works flawlessly in Pro Tools) consistently causes a hard crash in Logic. Although this is caused by shortcomings in Logic's automation (I have the same problem with other plug-ins), it's an issue to consider if you plan on implementing esoteric automation movements while using Logic. I hope this problem will be addressed in future versions of Logic Audio.
PurePitchPurePitch is designed to detune or transpose vocal or instrumental tracks over a wide pitch range while retaining the original, natural sound of the source material. A wide variety of harmony, detuning and other assorted processing is available. PurePitch also allows for independent control of pitch and formants and has a built-in delay and LFO.
Pitch KeysThe Pitch Key section of the interface is laid out like a vertical keyboard with intervals labeled to reflect a chromatic scale, and the unison key corresponding to middle C. A pitch-bend slider allows for microtonal pitch-shift options, and a set of keyboard shortcuts will quickly toggle through key centers.
PurePitch can shift the pitch using one of two different pitch shifting algorithms, depending on the setting in the Shift Mode control panel. The "conventional" mode is the cleanest of the two algorithms, but will result in the "chipmunk effect" with large amounts of pitch shift. The "formant preserving" mode attempts to maintain the original character of the source material for larger shift amounts than the conventional mode.
The Mixer Control Panel has separate controls for the wet/dry ratio, dry-signal delay time, wet-signal delay time and feedback (amount of pitch-shifted, delayed signal that is fed back into the input).
The Expression processor in PurePitch manipulates pitch inflections of vocal tracks by compressing or expanding the pitch envelope of the voice. In theory, it's similar to what a dynamics processor does to the level of a signal, except the part of the signal effected is the pitch envelope. By compressing the pitch envelope, the pitch inflections are reduced, creating a more monotonous performance. By expanding the pitch envelope, the pitch inflections are enhanced, creating a more expressive track. A fairly complex, but easy to use group of settings include a ratio setting, rotation frequency and shift limit.
The Modulation Control panel accesses a scaled-down version of the modulation engine used in PitchBlender and SoundBlender. Various wave shapes can be used to modulate the signal. Pitch, rate, formant and level are also controllable. The Tweak Control panel provides a set of frequency-based controls designed to optimize (or mangle) the apparent quality of pitch-shifted vocal material.
I used PurePitch in a variety of vocal settings ranging from background vocals to lead vocals to dialog. It was quite successful in providing effects that ranged from the otherworldly to foreboding. As with SoundBlender, Wave Mechanics provides a number of presets. While PurePitch may have been designed for use primarily in vocal situations, I also used PurePitch on a variety of source material besides vocals, and sometimes the resulting artifacts worked in context of the current project (especially while pitch shifting some drum loops used within a remix). As an option for use as an effects plug-in, it's a good addition to a well-stocked TDM arsenal.
PitchDoctorThe evolution of pitch-correction hardware and software in the last few years is something that can't be ignored, even by audio purists. PitchDoctor offers yet another option for correcting intonation problems in recorded vocal or instrument tracks. The interface is simple, intuitive and easy to use. It can be used in three different modes, depending on the type of material being corrected and the severity of the problems: Manual Correction, Note-Based Correction and Automatic Correction. If necessary, all three modes can be used at once.
The interface includes a chromatic representation of a keyboard, with the function of the keyboard depending on the setting of the auto-correct enable button. When auto-correct is enabled, the keyboard will display the notes corresponding to the selected scale and key, with notes in the scale appearing as green and notes outside of the scale showing up as gray. Global control of the key is set by the user.
The scale setting, together with the key, determine how the pitch of the input track can be altered. Manual correction allows you to use a slider control to alter the pitch manually in one-cent increments within a range of +/-200 cents. The Correction Amount displays the total amount of pitch correction applied to the input signal within +/-200 cents. The amount of pitch correction can be "quantized," allowing for small deviations from perfect tuning. Other parameters include smoothing (used to limit the rate of change of the pitch correction amount), capture (used to control the range within which pitch correction affects the input signal), and sensitivity. As is the case with PurePitch, PitchDoctor provides two different pitch-shifting modes-conventional and formant-preserving.
I ran through some tests using PitchDoctor and another popular pitch correction plug-in, Auto Tune by Antares. I tracked some vocals dry, duplicated the tracks and ran them through each respective plug-in on two separate tracks, allowing us to A/B them side by side on the console. In this particular case, PitchDoctor tended to sound a bit more natural and unaffected, although an overall effect was definitely noticeable with both plug-ins-especially with the vocals soloed.
ConclusionAt $895, UltraTools is loaded with options for people who want a range of plug-ins in the same league with hardware such as Eventide's Ultra Harmonizer series of outboard gear. As mentioned above, each plug-in is available individually for users who don't need all the features in the complete package. For my working environment, PitchBlender and TimeBlender offer top choices for out-of-this-world effects, with PurePitch as an option for tweaking around with pitch. PitchDoctor is a plug-in I hope I won't get to use, but I feel safe knowing that it is available when needed.

A few weeks ago, Shatta Wale took on secular Nigerian acts and now Empress Gifty is throwing light on a similar issue in the Gospel music industry.
Empress Gifty
According to the Ghanaian Gospel singer, unlike how musicians from the West African country's flood Ghana for shows often, she can't remember how often Ghanaian Gospel singers have been made to headline shows in Nigeria.
The 'Eye Woaa' singer registered her displeasure in a video shared on social media. "I want to speak facts to the people that are at the forefront of Ghanaian Gospel industry," she said.
She then asked, "when was the last time a Ghanaian Gospel artiste headlined a show in Nigeria, when was the last time?" She continued that "if I can recall, it was just last month that I saw that Celestine Donkor saying she's going to Nigeria for a programme".
According to Empress Gifty, Ghanaian Gospel musicians are not even treated well. " The way we treat Nigerian Gospel singers in Ghana when we go there is that how they treat us?"
"I want to ask, when have you seen a Ghanaian gospel act being taken on a radio tour in Nigeria by a Nigerian gospel singer? Some of them when they come to Ghana they don't even want to take pictures with us," she emphasized.
Hear more from her in the video below and share your thoughts with us.

Clash of Continents
Ross sees the world structured by continents in struggle for space, resources, and power.
Colin Ross's guiding concern, both in his travels and in his writings, is a tectonic shift he detects in the sphere of global power relations. A new ordering of the world is underway, and it involves the consolidation of the world's populations into continentally divided groups who will ultimately enter into a global struggle over Lebensraum (living space). Most pressing for Ross is the threat this poses to the white race: will it be able to compete with the tides of colored people he sees rising up in Asia and Africa?
Although Ross never questions the inevitability of this impending struggle, he is entirely aware of its constructed nature. This begins with his continual questioning of Europe's actual location: how far east does it extend? (Might it even include Central Asia and the Middle East?) How far south? (Perhaps into northern Africa—the "southern shore of the Mediterranean"?) And then there are the attending questions of membership in the white race, and whether other land masses will be aligned with Europe. Will Australia remain a white space? Will North America align itself with its European motherland? Most pressing, however, is the question of internal European unity. Will the German and the French be able to find common ground? Can Britain be brought home to the continent?
Ross shared this continental imaginary and its pressing questions with geopolitically aligned authors of both fiction and nonfiction during the interwar period. Despite lingering postwar animosities towards France and England, there was a reason why it was attractive to conceptually structure conflict as taking place at the continental level. Germany had lost its overseas colonies, and with them its sense of global agency. Located in the middle of Europe, however, conflict conceptualized at the continental scale would integrate Germany into a larger entity continuing to exert its influence across the globe. Indeed, it even introduces the possibility for a new wave of German global leadership, which Ross ultimately identified in the world view of Adolf Hitler, whom he thought would consolidate a united Europe and deploy its forces against its continental opponents.
Ross's geopolitical model foresees a future clash of continents in competition for resources, space, and power.
Ross claims that his travels have allowed him to perceive an impending crisis characterized by a restructuring of large-scale power relations on the world's continents. Previously, the globe had been organized according to a set of interrelated center-periphery networks in which individual European powers controlled various overseas regions through the mechanisms of colonization. Now, however, Ross sees the colonized peoples coalescing into power groups organized roughly according to racial-continental alignments, most notably in the rise of a "black Africa" and a "yellow Asia". Europe's only hope is to unify, perhaps into a Pan-Europe, in order to maintain its global power.
The clash of continents thus orders its own discourses of external otherness—the "colored front" (die farbige Front), the "yellow peril" (die gelbe Gefahr)—as well as its own discourses of internal threat—the "decline of the West" (der Untergang des Abendlandes), and the "colonization of Europe" (Europa als Kolonie der farbigen Völker).
Most fascinating is the pliability of the model's organizing structures. Ross adjusts the identity of continents to match his shifting geopolitical agendas. For example, the Eurasian continent, conventionally divided arbitrarily into two separate continents, is sometimes divided by Ross into three: Europe, Asia, and "the steppe-continent" that separates them. Of course, the same plasticity applies to race: how far does "whiteness" extend? Does it include central Asia? North Africa? North America?
Ross presents India and China as dangerous to Europe's power, both in their otherness and in their Europeanization.
In his reports on trips through Indian and Chinese cities Ross gets anxious, because he sees something that is fundamentally alien to his European sensibilities (see: Afraid of Asia's maw), or because he witnesses European influence taking hold (see: Demeaning cultural hybridization). This presents us not so much with a contradiction, but with the precise contours of Ross's ethnopluralism, which treasures Chinese scholarship and Australian Aborigine weaponry, while still being partial to upholding European supremacy out of racial affiliation. India and China's developing industries provide Ross with his clearest example of an Asia rising against Europe's political and economic interests. (See: The perils of international trade)
Ross's writing and lecturing on the impasses of European universalist liberalism were ambivalent enough to be taken in different directions by commentators, even translated into an appeal to international solidarity with the rising Asian and Afrian workforces. (See: The challenge of international solidarity) For Ross himself, though, the only solidarity to advocate was that among the white race in Europe and America.

Q: Visual Studio : exclude outlining from undo/redo stack There's something really annoying in Visual Studio : when I expand or collapse a method or code region, this action is pushed on the undo stack. So if I edit some code in a method, then collapse that method, and then want to undo my change, I have to undo twice : once for the collapse action, and once for the change in code. This can be VERY confusing if you expanded or collapsed several things after editing the code, the editor keeps jumping to different places and you don't know whether your changes have been undone or not...
So my question is : is it possible to disable that behavior ? i.e., that only changes in code are taken into account in the undo stack ?
PS: I'm using Visual Studio 2008

If this behavior annoys you too, please vote to fix it on UserVoice!

A: I did a little poking around and discovered that there is in fact an option in Visual Studio to disable this behavior, and yet it does not seem to be exposed anywhere in the user interface. However, you can set it programmatically, and I tested that it does work, so it is (technically) possible.
The options is:
DefaultTextViewOptions.OutliningUndoOptionId
and you set it like this:
textView.Options.SetOptionValue(DefaultTextViewOptions.OutliningUndoOptionId, false);

With this information a very simple Visual Studio extension could be written to toggle this setting for all new ITextView instances.

A: You can vote for fixing it in Visual Studio UserVoice.

A: I don't believe there is a way to disable this behavior.
As alternatives, the undo and redo toolbar icons have history dropdowns that allow you to visually see a summary of what the recent changes were that you would be undoing or redoing.  That can sometimes help to ensure you're undoing (or redoing) what you're expecting.
Since that isn't always enough to know exactly what the changes are (the undo history only displays a summary), the solution I occasionally use to address this is to combine undo (ctrl-z), redo (ctrl-y), and undo again.  The first undo moves to where the change happened (and undoes that change).  The redo will undo the undo (which essentially repeats the last change made). And the last undo will perform the undo again with the window scrolled to the location where I can actually see the undo happening and can confirm whether that's the change I was expecting to undo.  It's not very efficient, but it can be very effective to ensure the code is in state that's really expected.

A: I've created the Disable Outlining Undo extension that excludes expanding and collapsing operations from recording to the undo/redo stack in Visual Studio 2017/2019.
Thanks to Rick Sladkey for the idea!

A: The best solution I can propose is to disable outlining using CTRL+M, then CTRL+P.

A: First, it seems that not all outlining operations are recorded in the undo/redo stack.

*

*Toggle Outlining Expansion (CTRL+M/CTRL+M) is recorded in the stack

*Toggle All Outlining (CTRL+M/CTRL+L) is recorded in the stack

*Collapse to definitions (CTRL+M/CTRL+O) is NOT recorded in the stack

So, as far as I know, it is not possible to avoid the recording of Toggle operations in the undo/redo stack in Visual Studio 2008.
The only option you have it to enable/disable outlining for each source type. For C#, outlining can be enabled/disabled in Tools → Options → Text Editor → C# → Advanced with the Enter outlining mode when files open checkbox.

Driving west through Cody, Wyo., en route to Yellowstone, you'll find the area spectacularly scenic. President Theodore Roosevelt called the 50-mile stretch between Cody and Yellowstone National Park's East Entrance the "50 most beautiful miles in America."
If he visited today, he might add that it's one of the most uncrowded experiences you can have so close to the park. Dotted with historic lodges like Elephant Head Lodge, which was opened by Buffalo Bill Cody's niece in 1910 (while modernized over time, it still retains its original charm), you're guaranteed an authentic experience.
"People are so surprised when they get here and they say, 'We could've spent a couple more days here,'" says Betsy Christiansen whose Shoshone Lodge and Guest Ranch was built in the 1920s and has been run by four generations of her husband's family. "It offers an uncrowded experience."
Plus, the area offers tons of activities from horseback riding and fishing to ziplining. It's also a great place to spot wildlife.
The Lodges of East Yellowstone offer some of the most beautiful views with the closest access to east Yellowstone. Choose between a variety of lodges, guest ranches, hotels and RV sites that are between 2 and 30 miles to the park's east entrance. Choose from options of home-cooked meals, an Old West atmosphere, and log cabin accommodations.

I'm not sure if this has already been covered but I couldn't find it. Currently, when navigating to an internal section of my website, the top menu for that section loses its drop-down capability, meaning users have to navigate further using the side menu (which I hate and plan to remove), or go back to the home page. Is there a way to keep the drop-down capability of the top menus at all times?

Brake (absorber) type dyno's apply a load (e.g. Eddy current brake) against the engine and the torque applied is measured on a 'load cell'. This is typically an 'S-beam' type which can measure in both compression or tension mounting configurations.
Load cells also require an amplifier (also called 'signal conditioner', 'transmitter' or 'strain gauge' amplifier) to provide them with power and to increase their output voltage to a usable range.
We offer a selection of load cell sizes to cover most dyno applications, use the appropriate tool below to assist in choosing the best size for your application.
The accessories below may be required if you do not have an equivalent available. 'Click' on the links for full descriptions.
