![]() He creates at last his masterwork, and the next day the brushes have rooted and become the brilliant flowers we now call Indian Paintbrush. One night, a voice directs him to a special vantage point where he finds brushes filled with wonderful colors. But making paints to match the colors of the evening sky eludes him. As he grows up it is revealed to him in a vision that he will paint pictures of the glories of his tribe, that his own greatest work will someday be ``a picture that is as pure as the colors in the evening sky.'' As he grows older he does indeed paint the great deeds, the hunts, the visions of his tribe. The tribe's wise shaman assures him, however, that he has a different gift. K-Gr 4 Little Gopher was smaller than the other young Indian boys of his Plains tribe, and although he tried hard, he could not do what the others did. I would reccommend this book to second graders, or a teacher to do a read aloud with. I thought this was a good non-fiction book, that helps students learn where the name of the indian paintbrush came from, and helps you understand some of the Native American's history. I loved the bright colors, and the pictures really helped me visualize the story. I really enjoyed the illustrations in this book. ![]() He told me it's not Star Wars or Harry Potter though. He said it wasn't too boring, were his actual words. The story moved along, but there were good details. This is also part of a series called Legends about the legend of how some things come to be this is the 3rd book I have read in that series. It's much better than Tomie usually does for his people. He found the canvas and spent years looking for the right colors After a dream, he does find the colors he needs to paint the sky. He was also told he would paint the colors of the sky and this would be his most important work. During his manhood ritual he was giving the task of painting the warriors hunt and the villages stories so they would always be remembered. There was an Indian who wanted to be a warrior like everyone else, but he had the gift of an artist. This is a legend/myth on how those flowers came to be there (and I do love a story or folktale about that.) ![]() Today, I learned that Indian Paintbrush is a wildflower on the hills in Wyoming. ![]()

![]() Depending on the tempo of the music, this beat may correspond to the note value specified by the time signature, or to a grouping of such note values. Musical passages commonly feature a recurring pulse, or beat, usually in the range of 60-100 beats per minute. Other upper numbers correspond to irregular meters. The lower number is most commonly an 8 (an eighth-note or quaver): as in 9 In compound meter, the note values specified by the bottom number are grouped into threes, and the upper number is a multiple of 3, such as 6, 9, or 12. Simple meters are those whose upper number is 2, 3, or 4, sometimes described as duple meter, triple meter, and quadruple meter respectively. ![]() These symbols derive from Mensural time signatures, described below.įrequently used time signatures Simple vs. The symbol is typically used in place of 2Ģ and is called alla breve or, colloquially, cut time or cut common time.For the time period, see Common Era.īy convention, two special symbols are sometimes used for 4Ĥ time, also called common time or imperfect time. For the Field Music album, see Commontime (album). Less-common signatures correspond to complex, mixed, additive, and irrational meters. Most time signatures are either simple (the note values are grouped in pairs) or compound (grouped in threes). A mid-score time signature, usually immediately following a barline, indicates a change of meter. In a music score the time signature appears at the beginning as a time symbol or stacked numerals, such as or 4Ĥ (read common time or four-four time, respectively), immediately following the key signature (or immediately following the clef symbol if the key signature is empty). The time signature is a notational device representing the meter, which is an auditory feature of the music. The time signature (also known as meter signature, metre signature, and measure signature) is a convention in Western musical notation to specify how many of a particular note value are contained in each measure ( bar), and in many cases how these note values are grouped into musical stresses ( beats). The time signature indicates that there are three quarter notes (crotchets) per measure (bar). The edge channels give you that bite for controlled carves.4 time signature.

Though Magic Item Compendium is primarily a collection of reprinted items, it looks at some of that old material in new ways and incorporates new material as well. With this philosophy in hand, the designers were able to start revising old items and creating new ones that might be competitive with the big six.Įxpanding D&D. ![]() They provided effects that were required for characters to stay competitive.There was nothing else as good in their slots.He then identified the reasons that these items were particularly well-loved: Andy Collins started this process by identifying the "big six" magic items that took up the majority of characters' item slots: magic weapons magic armor & shields rings of protection cloaks of resistance amulets of natural armor and ability-score boosters. While updating and revising magic items, the designers did their best to make them the sort of things that characters would want. The reprinted items primarily came from: Book of Exalted Deeds (2003), Complete Adventurer (2005), Complete Arcane (2004), Complete Divine (2004), Complete Psionic (2006), Complete Warrior (2003), Eberron Campaign Setting (2004), Epic Level Handbook (2002), Expanded Psionics Handbook (2004), Libris Mortis: The Book of Undead (2004), Miniatures Handbook (2003), Magic of Incarnum (2005), Player’s Handbook II (2006), Sandstorm (2005), Spell Compendium (2005), and Tome of Magic (2006).Ī Philosophy of Magic Items. The items they left behind were "a massive collection of ineffective trinkets, uninspiring spell replications, or just flat-out boring junk". After looking through about 2000 magic items, they looted the best 1000 or so. The designers found these items by delving through all of Wizards' 3e and 3.5e books - even Diablo II: Diablerie (2000). Similar to the Spell Compendium before it, the Magic Item Compendium reprints, updates, organizes, and regularizes numerous 3e magic items. In fact it would be the fifth and final 3.5e reprint, appearing in July 2013.Ībout the Book. As a capstone book, Magic Item Compendium was another obvious book to include in the 3.5e premium reprint series (2012-2013). The end was more obviously nigh, and Magic Item Compendium was another sign of that … as would be affirmed in the coming months by the announcement of D&D 4e at Gen Con Indy 2007, then the production of the final capstone book, the Rules Compendium (2007). By now, Wizards was producing nostalgic products like the Expeditions series (2006-2007) and 4e-leaning rulebooks like Tome of Battle: The Book of Nine Swords (2006). That wasn't the case when Magic Item Compendium appeared. Though the 4e team had already begun work, the new game was still three years off. When the first 3.5e capstone, Spell Compendium (2005), came out a year and a quarter earlier, it wasn't necessarily a sign of 3e's end. It was published in March 2007.Īnother Hint of 3e's End.

Mainstream desktops, laptops, modems, routers, set-top-boxes, smart TVs, and game consoles generally include at least one Gigabit Ethernet (1,000 Mbps or 1 Gbps) port. Your Ethernet ports probably don’t support those maximum speeds. Otherwise, the connector uses the eight standard contacts for backward compatibility.ĬAT 8a and CAT 8b use the standard RJ45 jack. ![]() A switch on the connector is activated by a compatible port that enables the cable to use its new contacts. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standardized this connector for CAT 7 and CAT 7a (along with the non-RJ TERA connector ).Īlso known as Augmented RJ45 (ARJ45), this design moves two of the four twisted pairs to the other side of the connector, providing 12 contacts combined. It’s designed for network-enabled stage lighting, pro video, and pro audio devices. This is a ruggedized and lockable version of the RJ45 connector developed by Neutrik. The latter is typically used for new networks while the government requires the former T-568A wiring scheme. There are two wiring standards for the RJ45 connector: T-568A and T-568B. This connector is most commonly used on computers, routers, modems, game consoles, and other devices that support Ethernet connections. The “45” aspect simply means there were 44 registered devices before the Ethernet connector. Here are the three types of connectors:Ī registered jack is an interface connecting equipment to a networked device. Each wire inside the Ethernet cable (remember, four twisted pairs) slips into each position in the connector. A braided shield wraps around all twisted pairs and the divider.Įthernet cable connectors feature an 8-position 8-contact (8P8C) modular plug design. Outer Braided Shield/Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP) - Foil wraps around each twisted pair, which are separated by a cross divider.Outer Braided Shield/Unshielded Twisted Pair (S/UTP) - The individual twisted pairs are bare, but a braided shield wraps around all twisted pairs.Outer Foil Shielded/Unshielded Twisted Pair (F/UTP) - The individual twisted pairs are bare, but a foil shield wraps around all twisted pairs.Foiled Twisted Pair (FTP) - The twisted pairs are covered in foil inside the cable jacket.Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) - The twisted pairs are covered in a braided shield inside the cable jacket.Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) - The twisted pairs are bare inside the cable jacket.Here are the different forms of shielded and unshielded cables: ![]() They’re also typically more expensive due to the added materials. Shielded cables are thicker and less flexible than unshielded cables. Shielded cables also typically have a “drain” wire used for grounding to protect the cable against electrical surges. Cables based on CAT 6 and newer standards include shielding for better performance over older generations. A shielded cable suppresses electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while an unshielded cable does not. ![]() ![]() ![]() Static code analysis is a well-entrenched technique, based originally on the Lint Unix program that was designed in 1979 as a pre-processor for a C compiler. Static Code analysis parses the code as a compiler would, but for the purpose of with the objective of checking the syntax, rather than compiling it. Where Ops are actively working on delivery in cooperation with developers, these tests allow issues to be resolved long before they become a problem in production. For databases, there are some tools written entirely in SQL that detect a wide range of omissions and potential problems in databases. It also allows the operations team to check for several of the causes of long-running queries in production databases, as well as for deprecated code, when doing a server upgrade. An obvious requirement is to do a security audit to make sure that no permissions are being escalated in code, and there are no other issues that cut across their security policy, such as the use of xp_cmdshell, or dynamic SQL, without proper access control. Ops people will also need database code analysis. The governance process needs to get some idea of the extent to which compromises have been made by a development team in order to meet deadlines. The governance team will want to run checks on the current build, to get a general idea of where the code is on the spectrum between ‘working’ and ‘production quality’. Any access control code (DCL) needs to be checked before a build. The team need to check the code for any security issues before they get into the build.The regular build process is, itself, a way of ensuring that the working database can be built from what is in source control, but a check of the code can avoid the work and delay of having to repeat the build. By running a Database Code analysis in advance you know what will break it, and so it is quicker to remedy the problem and restart the build. The build process needs a way of checking the code to ensure that nothing is going to break the build.Productive developers make a lot of mistakes, and like to fix them rapidly and quietly. It is the ideal place to do routine checks because mistakes are quick to fix and involve no fuss.It is handy for reminders of a deprecation notice, or an alert to a careless mistake.It checks that you haven’t forgotten to test or document some code.It prevents any obvious mistakes or ‘To Do’ or ‘Hack’ sections of code getting into a build. ![]() Developers need to be able to check their own code within their own IDE to ensure that it is fit to be merged into a development branch.DeliveryĮven in development work, the delivery team will have at least three different objectives for code analysis. They each require rather different analysis.Īs regards the purpose of database code analysis, this is probably best understood by looking at the requirements of the Governance, Operations and Delivery teams, because they will all need database code analysis, but for rather different purposes. ![]() There is DML (Data Manipulation Language), DDL (Data Definition Language), DCL (Data Control Language) and TCL (Transaction Control Language). It is more complicated because you have the extra choice of dynamic code analysis to supplement static code analysis, but also because databases have several different types of code that have different conventions and considerations. It also makes everyone more aware of whatever coding standards are agreed, and what operational, security and compliance constraints there are.ĭatabase Code analysis is a slightly more complicated topic than static code analysis as used in Agile application development. This is because it makes the state and purpose of the code more visible, so that it allows everyone who is responsible for delivery to get a better idea of progress and can alert them much earlier to potential tasks and issues further down the line. In general, code analysis is not just a help to the individual developer but can be useful to the entire team. What are the uses of database code analysis? This article explains briefly the benefits of database code analysis, both static and dynamic, the tools available to perform and automate this analysis. Database code analysis is an obvious choice because you get an immediate benefit, and it is relatively easy to automate. Once your source code is in version control and you can produce clean builds from a standing start, you can look around for other processes to automate. To do Database Lifecycle Management effectively, you will need to automate as many of the routine database tasks as possible, simply because any move toward faster development cycles, delivering changes more frequently, means that a lot of simple checks, tests, and analyses need to be done more frequently. ![]() ![]() ![]() Amped StudioĪmped Studio is an online music sequencer and sound editor, designed to make the music production accessible to everyone, especially beginners.

Painters who had made their name making oil portraits of the rich and famous soon turned their attention to the possibilities of watercolour, a faster, more immediate art form. The invention of photography in the mid-1800s encouraged artists to adapt to the fast-changing visual world. With the arrival of modernist art at the turn of the 20th century, many painters sought opportunities to show their originality. These societies generated interest from the other side of the Atlantic, where watercoloring soon became incredibly popular. Their contributions led to the creation of many watercolor painting societies - the Royal Watercolour Society (RWS) and the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours. They also created hand-painted watercolor originals or copies of their larger artworks. These artists used watercolour to illustrate printed books and depict wildlife. Marking the start of “The Golden Age of Watercolour”, landscape painters such as Thomas Girtin, Paul Sandby and JMW Turner adopted the technique. Watercolor landscape artistsįollowing this period, watercolor painting became a principal art form in the late 18th century amongst the so-called English school. The artworks made by the German artist are among the earliest examples of watercolor painting as we know it today, spanning many subjects, from flora and fauna to landscape. During the Renaissance, Albrecht Dürer produced his iconic watercolour paintings, including the world-famous “Young Hare” from 1502. In Western art, artists often used watercolors to create preparatory sketches. Watercolour has a rich history in Asian art too, where it served decorative purposes in China from around 4,000 BCE and in scroll paintings from ancient Japan and Korea. When Egyptians invented papyrus in the fourth millennium BCE, watercolor gained widespread popularity-though many of these fragile works are now lost. We can trace the origins of watercolor painting as far back as the pre-historic age, when Paleolithic man first applied ochre and charcoal pigments to cave walls. But watercolor's spontaneity is precisely the quality that delivers such mesmerizing results. ![]() Artists often experiment with luminosity and transparency, working to control light and colour. The enduring attraction of watercolour to artists and painters is its unpredictability. Nowadays, some artists consider all kinds of water solvent media to be part of the wider watercolor family: brush, pen, inks, temperas and gouaches, and even modern acrylic paints, for example. In the past, artists mixed gum arabic-a natural kind of binding- with sticky substances like honey to achieve different visual qualities. ![]() The amount of water, the variety of pigments and the surface texture all provide watercolor with a wealth of visual possibilities. In watercolor painting, artists apply pigments to paper or other media such as fabric, canvas, and stone. Watercolor is a type of Fine Art painting that combines color pigments with a water-based solution. So let’s take a look at the rich history of watercolor (aquarelle in French) painting and discover how this humble technique caught the imaginations of some of art history’s masters. This ease gave the form an immediacy and mobility: artists could paint on the fly and capture mesmerising landscapes scenes plein-air, while watercolor portrait artists could swiftly immortalise their subjects with a greater degree of informality. Unlike the costly and often cumbersome supplies needed for oil painting, watercolor artists only need the right soluble paint and a piece of paper. Simple, inexpensive and incredibly beautiful, it’s easy to understand the enduring popularity of the technique. Some artists strictly defined themselves as “watercolorists”, while a surprising number of artists incorporated watercolor within their oeuvre. From the great Renaissance masters to movers and shakers of the contemporary avant-garde, watercolor has captured the imaginations of painters through the centuries. ![]() ![]() Jupiter and Saturn move by five and two rashis respectively and hence have good Kona stithi (planetary angle) making the marriage more compatible.īut the current marriage system involves lesser age gaps 1 or 2 years and hence the improper interactions between rashis affect the relationship for example there would be some phases where husband and wife both are aggressive and some other stages in life when both of them undergo a difficult phase. This not only avoids ego clashes but grahas also move into different rashis with time.
