One night, I realized I didn't have enough battery power left to play a tape, so I switched it to the "radio" function. My only entertainment in those primitive days was an AM/FM cassette Walkman. I can remember just staring out the window at all the traffic lights. Everyone was pretty much zonked out by then. (Poor parents! It was past midnight!) While the bus rides to the contests were pretty raucous, the bus rides home were quiet and contemplative. It would be cold and dark by then, and the kids who didn't have cars of their own would have their parents waiting to pick them up. These competitions took a long time to complete, as you might guess, and we were often very late getting back to the parking lot of our own high school. It was all very scientific, I assure you. Along the way, a panel of very serious-looking judges would watch all these groups, rate them in a dizzying variety of nit-picky categories, and hand out trophies at the end of the night. Other bands would do their eight-minute halftime shows, too, usually based around a particular theme or a composer. On these busy Saturdays, we'd go to football stadiums at other schools and do our choreographed eight-minute halftime show. Semper fi.Īnyway, we were a competitive band, which meant that on the weekends during the fall, they'd load us onto school buses and take us to other towns in mid-Michigan for these big outdoor contests (usually called "invitationals"). I was in it all four years - halftime shows, pep rallies, those funny faux-military hats with the plumes on top, the Sgt. In those days, one of the main driving forces in my life was marching band. It was the early 1990s, let's say '91 or '92, and I was a teenager in high school. "I Only Have Eyes for You" had probably been in the background of my life for years without my really noticing, but I can distinctly remember the very night that this recording became one of my all-time favorites. If I can pin the greatness of the record on any one factor, I'd have to say it's one of the simplest things: those repeated piano triplets, what Stan Freberg disparagingly called "that clink clink clink jazz." Never has rock's infamous "clink clink clink" sound been so mysterious or so lovely. The lead singer really does seem to be in a dreamlike trance, so in love he's unsure of whether or not he's in a garden, and the other singers and musicians sound like they're recording in a different dimension altogether. To me, the record still sounds like it was recorded tomorrow. The Flamingos took a tune that was already a golden oldie by the time they got their hands on it, and they tore it down to the ground and rebuilt something beautiful and weird from the rubble. It's different from just about everything. It's unlike most doo-wop and R&B from the era. You've probably heard their version in a movie or playing on an oldies radio station or something like that, and it's tempting to lump this record in with all the other kitschy '50s detritus, like poodle skirts and hula hoops.īut "I Only Have Eyes for You" stands out from the pack. The song "I Only Have Eyes for You" goes back to 1934, and it's been recorded by everyone from hell to breakfast (fuzzy-haired Artie Garfunkel had something of a hit with it in the 1970s), but the only waxing that really counts was the one done by the Flamingos in 1959. But you know what? This is my blog, and I'll write about what I damned well please. If my goal with this feature was to bring you a diverse selection of songs from different genres, so far I'm not doing so hot. The titles are almost identical, I admit. And, yeah, it's another doo-wopper, a tune released only a year before the Passions' "I Only Want You," the song I wrote about yesterday. I just wanted to write about this song while the mood was still with me.

A good boss encounter elevates the game it’s in. Most important, however, was how vividly they lingered in our minds. Assembled by a committee of gaming journalists with various tastes, our rank factored in each enemy’s overall difficulty, the novelty of their fight mechanics, and their influence on subsequent games. That goes most for these 100 bosses, who have been providing gamers with shared war stories for more than 30 years. Bison or Psycho Mantis or Atheon, they’ve all served as finish lines, final examinations, and feats of collaboration. In a medium where individual experiences can now vary greatly - no two people play Minecraft the same way, nor do any two games of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds even remotely resemble one another - bosses remain a common experience, cultural touchstones for entire generations of games and the people who play them. What this big-bad revival reminds us is that we’re better off with bosses in our gaming lives. And there’s Destiny, a series that brought bosses back in a big way by borrowing ideas from massively multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft, making them nigh-insurmountable challenges that required teamwork from a large group of players. Runaway sleeper hits like Shovel Knight and Hyper Light Drifter nakedly emulated and updated 8- and 16-bit sensibilities, where challenging levels were par for the course and boss fights took center stage. Souls and its sequels/spinoffs inspired countless imitators, like Lords of the Fallen and this year’s Nioh, to such an extent that ‘ Souls-like’ is now a genre descriptor. Demon’s Souls had already embraced the opaque design and challenges of classic games, adding names like Ornstein and Smough to the wince-inducing canon of legendary video-game big bads. Then a wave of nostalgia brought the boss back. Open-world and online games flourished, player choice became paramount, and boss fights in games that felt otherwise wide open - like the notoriously underwhelming boss confrontations in otherwise acclaimed games such as Bioshock or Deus Ex: Human Revolution - ended up feeling like dead weight. Bosses were effectively bottlenecks at a time where games were expanding. Until somewhat recently, it seemed as if the concept of the video-game boss was on its last legs. It’s both Destiny 2’s biggest challenge and mystery, and for the past week the game’s community of players has been racing to square off with Leviathan’s mysterious boss, six people at a time. That’s the name of the game’s marquee Raid, a massive, sprawling level that explains almost nothing about how to beat it, and requires teamwork among six players to solve its riddles and take down whatever boss lies at the end. Last week, Destiny 2, a highly anticipated online shooter that’s best played with friends, raised the curtain on a mystery it had been teasing for weeks leading up to the game’s early September release: the Leviathan. Quick data export with TICs, EICs with peak heights, and mass spectra If you save the data file, they’ll still be there when you reopen it (i.e., it saves your “MS Data View Parameters” settings). If you have many samples you analyzed, select the rows of the MS Data View Parameters window, copy (ctrl-C), and you can paste them into the MS Data View Parameters window of your other data files.ĮICs will be displayed below the TICs in the Chromatogram View. Feel free to get a bunch of EICs for everything you’re interested in using either polarity, and look for many adducts like +, +, etc. “Event” refers to the polarity - for positive mode, it’s “1” on our system, and “2” for negative. From there, just type in the desired m/ z values. Under MS Data, just click “Data View Parameters” in the top left of the sidebar. The TIC lets you know when there’s a peak, but it can be misleading if you’re using a dirty column, have impurities from the vials/septa/mobile phases that fly well, etc, and it may obscure small peaks that you are interested in if they are low abundance or don’t ionize well. This is in contrast to a Total Ion Chromatogram (TIC), which sums up the total number of counts for all ions with any m/ z, and displays it over time. Basically, you’ll want to extract a chromatogram (signal over time) for a specific ion from all the data. Often, you’ll want to get a trace of when a specific ion’s m/ z is seen over time. After a few years using it, I’m sharing what I’ve learned in a quick guide to some of the most important and commonly-used functions for any analyst. Shimadzu LabSolutions Postrun software isn’t always the easiest to use, and the funky translations from the Japanese version don’t help. The only difference was who was making their lunch and this really affected me! The idea of working in an office environment where when you leave, the only person that notices is the HR department, bothers me. I used to see people going to work day in, day out in their office jobs dressed the same way as they would have been when they went to school. I went to University in London and used the tube a lot. What made you want to open your own pub/restaurant? The reason for this is because it doesn’t affect the appearance of the puree and doesn’t make it too runny unlike others, as it’s a dry powder. One of my dishes that the Major Chicken Stock Powder is really useful for is white puree, for example a cauliflower or celeriac puree. Some recipes need that little bit of extra flavour. How did you include them within your recipes? They add a finishing touch to take the dish to the next level and many of my customers comment on the flavours I produce. What you get is a superb natural chicken flavour like no other.Īll the Major powders are great at adding depth in the flavour department. You do not get the high salt content with Major that you get with other stocks and bouillons. I find that the Chicken Stock Powder gives a roundness on the tongue that you just don’t get anywhere else. What do you think are the best things about Major products? There’s nothing else on the market like them and I couldn’t be without them now in my recipes. I think the Chicken, Beef and Vegetable Stock Powders are essential but also the Beef Stock Paste can be found in a few of my dishes to add a real depth of flavour. Which Major products do you believe are the store cupboard must haves? My parents used them in their businesses when I was young and I just continued to use them in my career as they were such great products which has stood the test of time. Getting into the Michelin guide was great but taking over The Shoe with Annabel, my partner and building that up has to be the best part. We have won a lot of awards throughout the years so it’s difficult to name just the one. I was holding his hand at the time and I vividly remember thinking/realising that the biggest building in the town was ours and that one day I wanted that too. I remember it was many years ago, whilst walking with my Dad from our hotel in Scotland to buy some light bulbs. When did you realise that being a chef/pub owner was the career for you? I would sauté potatoes in my Dad’s hotel kitchen and then take them through to the public bar below the hotel where all the old local guys drank and I would sell them to the bar customers as a snack. It started with me playing chef as a child at maybe 8yrs old. I went on to manage pubs for Wadworth brewery winning ‘Managed House Food Pub of the Year’ and ‘Wadworth Pie of the Year.’ One year later I then gained a Michelin bib gourmand working at my parent’s pub. I studied my NVQ’s at Salisbury College and then gained a BSc 2.1 in International Culinary Arts Managements at Ealing University.

As others have said - if there is any compression used it is not audible, so I'm not sending back my copy. I will say though that the quality of the recording is excellent with clear thundering bass and no noticeable sibilance on the inner tracks. For me it is not overly distracting, but I have records with this kind of music as well as a lot of classical records that are absolutely dead silent - some of those even from the 70s, so it's a bit disappointing really. Cleaning made little discernable difference. Not only is there a lot of crack / pops considering that it's brand new sealed vinyl, but there's an odd low soft pphhhh wave sound that is apparent in some parts of the record - almost as if the pressing plate itself had a defect(?).

For example, neurophysiology is the study of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves and how these work together to perform functions asĬomplex and diverse as vision, movement, and thinking. Like anatomists, physiologists typically specialize in a particular branch of physiology. Physiology usually depend on carefully designed laboratory experiments that reveal the functions of the many structures and chemical compounds that make up the human body. The study of physiology certainly includes observation, both with the naked eye and with microscopes, as well as manipulations and measurements. Is the state of steady internal conditions maintained by living things. Much of the study of physiology centers on the body’s tendency toward homeostasis. Is the scientific study of the chemistry and physics of the structures of the body and the ways in which they work together to support the functions of life. Whereas anatomy is about structure, physiology is about function. For example, a systemic anatomical study of the muscular system would consider all of the skeletal Is the study of the structures that make up a discrete body system-that is, a group of structures that work together to perform a unique body function. Other structures work together to serve a particular body region. Studying regional anatomy helps us appreciate the interrelationships of body structures, such as how muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and Is the study of the interrelationships of all of the structures in a specific body region, such as the abdomen. “WriterHound”/Wikimedia Commons credit b: Micrograph provided by the Regents of University of Michigan Medical School © 2012)Īnatomists take two general approaches to the study of the body’s structures: regional and systemic. This is a micrograph of nerve cells from the brain. (b) Microscopic anatomy can deal with the same structures, though at a different scale. Of the body, from slices of large structures like the heart, to the three-dimensional structures of large molecules in the body.įigure 1.2 Gross and Microscopic Anatomy (a) Gross anatomy considers large structures such as the brain. As the technology of microscopes has advanced, anatomists have been able to observe smaller and smaller structures Microscopic anatomy includes cytology, the study of cells and histology, the study of tissues. Is the study of structures that can be observed only with the use of a microscope or other magnification devices ( Figure 1.2 b). Macro- means “large,” thus, gross anatomy is also referred to as macroscopic anatomy. Is the study of the larger structures of the body, those visible without the aid of magnification ( Figure 1.2 a). Like most scientific disciplines, anatomy has areas of specialization. These techniques allow clinicians to visualize structures inside the living body such as a cancerous tumor or a fractured In order to observe structures in living people, however, a number of imaging techniques have been developed. Dissection is still used in medical schools, anatomy courses, and in When a body is dissected, its structures are cut apart in order to observe their physical attributes and their relationships to one another. Later, physicians were allowed to dissect bodies of theĭead to augment their knowledge. Word “anatomy” comes from a Greek root that means “to cut apart.” Human anatomy was first studied by observing the exterior of the body and observing the wounds of soldiers and other injuries. Other larger structures can readily be seen, manipulated, measured, and weighed. Some of these structures are very small and can only be observed and analyzed with the assistance of a microscope.

He also felt a great amount of stress in making this game as he had underestimated the amount of time and effort that would have to go into it in order to make it satisfying for both him and his fans.Ĭome July 4, 2012, with a heavy heart, Jonathan decided to officially cancel Riddle Transfer 2 and the three games he had, at the time, planned to make afterwards. Movies Games Audio Art Portal Community Your Feed. In the first version, Riddle Transfer 2 was originally going to involve Phil, Zack, Phred, and Smiley escaping through a sewage system. The sewers didn't get much farther than the first room. Jonathan had planned some water level-changing puzzles and had a vague idea for the end of the game involving some beast being electrocuted by a toaster. This original idea was scrapped for a better idea sparked by one of Jonathan's friends, Mr-Shark (who now goes by Krahs). It would involve, not playing as Phil, but playing as Diz who had been recaptured by Zone 5.1. Similar to RT 1, you would have had to try to find a way out of your cell. Much like the first idea, production went to nearly a hault after the first room was created. At the end of the game, Diz would have been captured, yet again, by Zone 5.1 and subsequently killed. Jonathan's favorite puzzle in the game would have been one involving the word "Woof", an idea which was inspired by a suggestion by AbbyDrew. Evidently, this particular puzzle made it into the beginning of the current game.
