Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
I really liked the location of the hotel. It is about 15 min from Cairo Airport which is very convenient for those who wish to make a stop at Cairo yet they don't wish to be either in the vicinity of a busy and noisy airport, nor they wish to go to a hotel in the far away downtown. Also the area around the hotel is quiet. Many resturants of various tastes are within the hotel premises. Inforcing security measures (car search using canine unit, and X-ray baggage check) before entering the hotel premises provided assurance to safety. I did not like the fact that I was quoted a room price in US $, and that price was written on my room key cover (which was a good practice by the way to show transparency for guests), and yet on check out I was asked to pay in Euro (e.g., check-in US$ 130, check-out EU 130). And I signed the credit card bill without realizing that I was authorizing the hotel to withdraw 130 euro instead of 130 US dollars. That was really bad, but definitely does not affect my judgment towards the hotel facilities, because it might have been a mistake or at least I can blame it on an individual behavior.
Hospitality of the staff.
Extremely gracious staff. Beautiful hotel. The price of liquor. Too high!
The proximity to airport. Quiet area. Close to modern areas like City Stars Mall, and the main highways. Also near brand name shopping outlets. Though they arrange free bus every hour to airport. They do not have free bus transport FROm airport. And the hotel representative office at airport is closed for long time when I arrived to airport from overseas. And no one, even Airport Information could not give me any schedule info about the hotels bus shuttle, nor the time the office opening hours.
Service is good, crew are friendly and it's near to the best shopping mall: City Star...five minutes drive. fitness center is very small and locked in a very small room.
Short night,it was easy to go the airport early.
Location proximity to the airport as well as the city downtown, room is clean Hotel is kinda old, had to pay for parking a car!! Tv is small and not even LCD, airport pick up is not available for Egyptians only!! So I think the staff isnt the best around
the internet presentation of the hotel is misleading showing a swimming pool that is currently, in actual fact, a total construction site. no exterior space whatsoever poor hygiene in rooms, rude duty manager, poor breakfast, noisy weddings every day till 01:30, very poor bathroom facilities with knobs falling off
really nothing special to be a 5 star hotel, price/quality too high value. Bathroom not very clean.
The luxurious atmosphere in the hotel They charge extra money for the use of health club and the internet connection is extremely high
The kindness of the staff, who was very helpful, and also the area (very leafy and relaxing for Cairo). When I complained about the cleanliness of the restroom in my room, they sent a basket of fruits (but they didn't clean the restroom more adequately). The cleanliness of the restroom and, more generally, the relatively soiled condition of the furniture in the bedroom.
Difficult to find !!
The hotel room was nice, the service was great, they even put together a breakfast box for my husband and I as we had to leave early morning. The location. It's ok if you want to keep close to the airport which is why we chose it. But otherwise is quite difficult to find (not many taxi driovers new the location) and its located in a residential road basically in the middle of no where!
Selection of different restaurants in the hotel
pleasant atmosphere, great Indian food
The hospitality of the staff,the selections of resturants at such a small hotel, with only 60 plus rooms, last week was the 8th time I have stayed at this hotel since June 2010. The fact that as such a small hotel ,the resturants at this hotel are very good. there is an Indian resturant, with true northern Indian food, also a Chinese resturant, with true chinese food, an Arabic resturant on the roof, with shisha smokers, and all the types of Arab foods, and an International resturant, all these resturants are very reasonably priced,$10 for a grilled steak, and the Indian resturant $20 per person,for a good meal, of Samosas, Tandoori Marsala Chicken, mixed rice with vegertables, beer & tea,likewise in the Chinese resturant, all good value for money, lets only hope that prices do not rise too much in the future, over the last 4 months the room rates have risen over 30 %, not fully due to the Dollers decline
The hotel is quite a distance from the centre of Cairo. However, from experience of staying in the centre of Cairo on other trips, the air is much cleaner to breathe and there is a lot less traffic noise at night which makes for a better sleep. They also have a really good rooftop bar/resturant so you can enjoy the evening weather. Make sure you have the address of the hotel written down because it is in a residential street and a lot of taxi drivers have not heard of it.
The Restaurants & foods great. The Internet (Broadband ) was not as assured.
The staff were good and helpful also the garden resturant was very good and the Shisha was also good and clean. They told me the booking was not confirmed and waited for the manager to solve the issue due to there was no rooms.
location only cleaning, room materials are poor
Good location for the city. Staff at the hotel were very slow. Did not speak English very good. Although breakfast included, it was very little. Altogether, I would not stay at the Karvin hotel again

Sen. Soto got his start in leading our community as class counsel for Hispanic residents of the City of Kissimmee who faced a discriminatory at-large election system. Throughout his 5 years in office, he has been a strong advocate for the civil rights of all Floridians. He successfully helped defeat attempts to bring an Arizona-Styled Immigration law to Florida, which would have lead to racial-profiling of Hispanics and been a major blow to our economy by creating costly and unnecessary burdens on businesses. Darren is a major supporter of the Dream Act and believes the federal government must pass immigration reform which creates a workable foreign worker program.
Sen. Soto played an integral role in stopping attempts to split the Florida Supreme Court into two separate criminal and civil courts. These radical changes could have lead to court-packing before key redistricting reviews and irrevocably upset the checks and balances our forefathers put in place to preserve our democracy. The court remains preserved as one Supreme Court to this day as a result.
He continues to fight against anti-voter legislation passed in 2011 which reduced early voting hours, created excessive penalties and banned address changes at the polls. Darren has also been a strong supporter of Fair Districts and an advocate for a fair redistricting process to assure all voters have reasonable representation. He successfully stopped attempts to shield legislators from depositions and other litigation inquiries during the redistricting process. These reforms have lead to reduced gerrymandering and more sensibly-shaped districts respecting local government boundaries while protecting minority representation during the 2012 redistricting process.

- bacterial chemotaxis
The response of bacteria to gradients of attractants or repellents. In a gradient of attractant the probability of deviating from a smooth forward path is reduced if the bacterium is moving up-gradient. Since the opposite is true if moving down-gradient, the effect is to bias displacement towards the source of attractant. Strictly should perhaps be considered a klinokinesis with adaptation.

Genetic Analysis of Analogique B
- Neal Cook
- 1 years ago
- Views:
1 Kerry L Hagan October 2005 Genetic Analysis of Analogique B Iannis Xenakis composed Analogique B for tape ( ) concurrently with the instrumental work Analogique A. Both works utilize Markovian stochastic methods. However, the precision of the tape medium allowed Xenakis to more concretely explore his notion of complex sounds formed by grains of sonic entities, what is often called granular synthesis today. A genetic analysis (an analysis by means of re-creating a work) of Xenakis Analogique B created in real time and employing both explicit and implied procedures published in Formalized Music (1992) provides some advantages. The real-time algorithms provide unique instantiations with each realization; the power of contemporary computers allows for precise realizations of stochastic number generators without the estimations of hand-calculations; and, the immediacy of the realization enables listeners to hear different instantiations in sequence, allowing generalizations on Xenakis procedures. However, the re-creation lacks a quality that is difficult to quantify. This paper discusses the methods and results of recreating Analogique B using real-time audio technology and noting the aesthetic implications arising from the result. Granular Synthesis Xenakis conjures a dramatic image of what is possible with grains of sound forming a complex sound. His analogy immediately evokes a process made up of iconic elements: A complex sound may be imagined as a multi-colored firework in which each point of light appears and instantaneously disappears against a black sky. But in this firework there would be such a quantity of points of light organized in such a way that their rapid and teeming succession would create forms and spirals, slowly unfolding, or conversely, brief explosions setting the whole sky aflame. A line of light would be created by a sufficiently large multitude of points appearing and disappearing instantaneously. (Xenakis 1992: 44) This is, perhaps, one of the first published notions of what is generally called granular synthesis today. Though contemporary composers have developed granular synthesis to serve multiple aesthetic aims, Xenakis originally proposed to structure these grains using stochastic methods. As one of his earliest works, Analogique B was an example to prove the relevance of stochastic methods in composition and the efficacy of granular synthesis. Micro-composition Explicit Parameters Xenakis developed compound probabilities in complex relationships in order to achieve his aesthetic aims. The processes underlying every aspect of composition begin with the most basic parameters of sound and accumulate to formal proportions. In Markovian Stochastic Music Theory and Markovian Stochastic Music Applications from Formalized Music, Xenakis described some parameters of Analogique explicitly. In other cases, Xenakis speculated what could be possible given computational capabilities. I will begin with the explicit parameters provided by Xenakis in his writings. 1/13
2 Frequency, Intensity, and Density Distributions Xenakis identified three main variables of a complex sound as frequency (f ), intensity (g ), and density (d ) of sonic grains. For each variable, Xenakis created two configurations of value ranges on a scale. He called each configuration 0 and 1 of the variable. Thus six variables representing distributions of values were created. Xenakis provided the following figures (Xenakis 1992: 104-5): Figure 1: Frequency Regions Figure 2: Intensity Regions Figure 3: Density Regions 2/13
3 Screens (Trames) There are eight possible combinations of three variables with two possible values. Each combination is a different configuration of ten clouds of grains in three-dimensional space. Though the configurations may be represented by three-dimensional graphs, those graphs tend to be difficulty to read. Xenakis combined these variables into two-dimensional grids, notating density as a number. Xenakis called these grids trames, translated as screens. In this representation, it is easier to read each screen as a slice of time in the life of a complex sound. It is also easier to see that Xenakis chose to define ten clouds of grains for each screen. The Roman numeral assignations make it easier to identify the individual dimensions on each screen. f 0 = Screen A f 0 d 1 = Screen B f 0 g 1 = Screen C f 0 g 1 d 1 = Screen D f 1 = Screen E f 1 d 1 = Screen F f 1 g 1 = Screen G f 1 g 1 d 1 = Screen H Figure 4: Eight Possible Combinations of f, g, d. Figure 5: Screen A (Xenakis 1992: 106) Matrix of Transitional Probabilities Xenakis asserted that linking these screens together like pages of a book might describe a complex sound (Xenakis 1992: 69). The order by which the screens are linked is subject to stochastic methods. One such stochastic method is the Markov chain: a system in which the probabilities of each successive event are determined by the preceding events. In other words, a Markov chain specifies transitional probabilities, where the transition between the events is probabilistic. Xenakis depicted these probabilities in Matrices of Transitional Probabilities. In two cases, he created systems that are stochastic, or tend toward equilibrium states when unaffected by external impulses An explanation of these Matrices of Transitional Probabilities (MTPs) is better done with a more general example. The first MTP, designated by the symbol ρ (rho), is given: 3/13
4 X Y X Y Table 1: First MTP (ρ) The second MTP, designated by σ (sigma), is: X Y X Y Table 2: Second MTP (σ) (Xenakis 1992: 82) MTP (ρ) determines the probability of X or Y in a sample set. Take two urns filled with X and Y marbles. One urn has 20 X and 80 Y marbles, while the other urn has 80 X and 20 Y marbles. Data are collected in the following manner: draw a marble from one of the urns and return it, noting whether it is an X or Y marble. If one draws an X marble, draw from the urn with 20 X and 80 Y marbles. If one draws a Y marble, turn to the urn with 80 X and 20 Y marbles and draw from it. One possible sequence of draws may look like this: 1. Start with an X marble. Note it, and then draw from the first urn (indicated by the seed X marble). There is an 80% probability the next draw will result in a Y marble. 2. Assume the first draw results in a Y marble. Note it, and then draw from the second urn (indicated by the drawn Y marble). There is now an 80% probability that the next draw will result in an X marble. 3. The second draw unexpectedly results in a Y marble. Note it, and then draw again from the second urn. There is still an 80% probability that the next draw will result in an X marble. 4. The third draw results in an X marble. Note it, and then draw from the first urn. 5. The noted results are: X Y Y X Assuming that this process is continued on, it is probabilistic that resulting draws will alternate between X and Y, with occasional repeats. Thus, a likely continuation of this process could be: X Y Y X Y X Y Y X Y X Y X Y X X Y X Y Y Y Figure 6: Possible draws using MTP (ρ) In this simple case, each sample set is made up of one term (or one draw). However, it is possible to define the sample set with any number of terms. For example, define a sample set as ten terms. Therefore, ten draws are taken from an urn and noted. In this case, ten draws from the first urn would result in approximately two X marbles and 8 Y marbles based on the probability of X and Y. If two X marbles and eight Y marbles are drawn in the first step, two marbles must be drawn from the first urn and eight from the second urn in the second step. This creates a combined probability. In the case of the two marbles drawn from the first urn, it is most likely that two Y marbles will be drawn. In the case of the eight marbles drawn from the second urn, the result would be approximately six X marbles and two Y marbles. The combined result is six X marbles and four Y marbles. 4/13
5 So, in the third step, six draws must come from the first urn and four draws must come from the second urn. The peculiar characteristic of this MTP is that it tends to an equilibrium state where the probability of drawing an X or Y marble is 50%. Another way to express this process is that the ten samples determine the proportions of X and Y marbles in a new urn, from which ten samples are taken. These next ten samples then determine the proportions of X and Y marbles in a third urn, from which ten samples are taken. This process is repeated until equilibrium. Equilibrium is achieved when the proportions of the next urn are the same as the previous urn. Mathematically, this is expressed as: Let X = the probability of drawing an X marble Y = the probability of drawing a Y marble: X = 0.2 Y = 0.8 Each subsequent urn is a combined probability using the values from the preceding ten samples. Therefore: X = 0.2X + 0.8Y = = 0.68 Y = 0.8X + 0.2Y = = 0.32 X = 0.2 X Y = = 0.40 Y = 0.8 X Y = = 0.60 X = 0.2 X Y = = 0.56 Y = 0.8 X Y = = 0.44 The urns begin with a higher proportion of X, then oscillate with each sample set. With each sample set, the oscillations reduce until, ultimately, there is an urn with equal proportions of X and Y marbles. This is mathematically proven by: X n +1 = 0.2X n + 0.8Y n Y n +1 = 0.8X n + 0.2Y n X n +Y n = 1 and, this system reaches equilibrium when X n +1 = X n X n +1 = 0.2X n + 0.8(1 X n ) = X n X n = X n X n = 0.5 The system defined by MTP ρ reaches equilibrium with equal proportions of X and Y. The second MTP (σ) behaves differently as it approaches and reaches equilibrium. The combined probability of each sample set is: 5/13
6 Equilibrium is proven to exist by: X = 0.85X + 0.4Y = = 0.78 Y = 0.15X + 0.6Y = = 0.22 X = 0.85 X Y = = 0.75 Y = 0.15 X Y = = 0.25 X = 0.85 X Y = = 0.74 Y = 0.15 X Y = = 0.26 X n +1 = 0.85X n + 0.4Y n Y n +1 = 0.15X n + 0.6Y n X n +Y n = 1 and, this system reaches equilibrium when X n +1 = X n X n +1 = 0.85X n + 0.4(1 X n ) = X n X n = X n X n = 0.73 In this case, the system reaches equilibrium, but X marbles are more likely. These two systems display two very different characters. In MTP ρ, the urns oscillate between favoring X and Y marbles until they are equally probable. In MTP σ, X is always more probable, and the system tends toward its equilibrium state smoothly without oscillations. Xenakis utilizes MTPs ρ and σ for each of the three dimensions of screens. For frequency there are two MTPs: MTPF α and β; for intensity, there are MTPG γ and ε; and for density, there are MTPD λ and µ. In order to link the three dimensions together probabilistically, the values of two dimensions determine which MTP (ρ or σ) is used for the third. Xenakis gave these coupling parameters in this configuration (Xenakis 1992: 83): Figure 7: Coupling Parameters for MTP Rather than doing multiple calculations for each grain of sound when composing, it is far easier to calculate the combined probability of each screen transitioning to the other screens, although this means 64 calculations. For example, if the current screen is A ( f 0 ), what is the probability that the next screen will be A again? First, the MTPF must be determined by and. The coupling parameters show that leads to MTPF β while leads to MTPF α. This signifies that the choice of α and β are equally probable. The probability that will remain as f 0 in α is 0.20 and in β is The combined probability, therefore, is calculated as: f 0 = 0.5(0.2)+ 0.5(0.85) = f 0 6/13
7 Similarly, MTPG is determined by f 0 and. Both variables indicate that γ is to be used. The probability that remains is simply taken from γ: 0.2. Finally, MTPD is determined by f 0 and. Both variables indicate that λ is to be used. The probability that d 0 will remain is 0.2, as well. The combined probability that f 0 (screen A) will remain f 0 is the product of all three probabilities: = When all 64 calculations are completed, they may be combined into one large MTPZ, the combined probabilities of MTPF, MTPG, and MTPD. Xenakis provided that calculated matrix (Xenakis 1992: 89):. Figure 8: MTPZ - Combined probabilities for transitioning between all screens The last remaining calculation in this design is proof that the combined MTPZ itself has an equilibrium state. Xenakis provided the proof that a region does, in fact, exist; and the screens have the following distribution in equilibrium (Xenakis 1992: 89-90): Screens Probability A 0.17 B 0.13 C 0.13 D 0.11 E 0.14 F 0.12 G 0.10 H 0.10 Table 3: Distribution of screens in equilibrium Micro-composition Implicit Parameters Though Xenakis clearly explained and detailed the construction of the screens and their transitional probabilities, he did not explicitly state how each grain was ultimately placed in the work. However, in his opening discussions of grains, he suggested certain favored stochastic distributions for these dimensions. 7/13
8 Xenakis suggested that the dimensions of frequency and intensity have Gaussian (Xenakis 1992: 55-6). As for temporal distribution, Xenakis implied that he used sinusoidal sounds whose durations are constant at about 0.04 seconds. They are placed in time as a function of their density utilizing the Poisson distribution (Xenakis 1992: 54). The Gaussian distribution has a mean value and standard deviation within which the values have the highest probability of occurring. A Poisson distribution is similar to a Gaussian distribution; but it more accurately depicts the probability of rare events. These equations were used to generate the grains within each cloud. The mean values for frequency and intensity were determined by the centers of each frequency and intensity region. The mean value of density was determined by the mean number of events given by the density region divided by the time for each screen (about 0.5 seconds) (Xenakis 1992: 105). Macro-composition Definitions The use of screens suggests a particular formal structure that utilizes their stochastic tendency toward an equilibrium state. It is necessary at this point to define and use Xenakis terminology to discuss the formalization of music using MTPs. Xenakis defined a mechanism as any transformation of an entity from one state to another (Xenakis 1992: 72). In Analogique B, each grain and its individual transformations are a mechanism. For example, in the original example of pulling a marble from an urn, the mechanism was an entity that could either be an X or Y marble. However, a mechanism may be made of multiple grains. Thus, the example where the sample set consisted of ten marbles was a complex mechanism consisting of internal mechanisms. The ambiguity in meaning can be misleading. In the case of Analogique B, it is most useful to think of the work as a whole as a mechanism, though it consists of internal mechanisms of frequency, intensity, and density. A mechanism passes through many states (Xenakis 1992: 73). In the marble example, a state is X or Y. There can be any number of states within a stage. A stage can be understood as a single urn with a set of probabilities. When one marble was drawn at a time, the stage had a period of one state. When ten marbles were drawn, the stage had a period of ten states (Xenakis 1992: 96). Without some external perturbation, a mechanism will continue endlessly in its equilibrium state. In equilibrium, each successive stage has the same probabilities as the previous stage. Xenakis asserted that the stochastic quality (tending to a goal) of a mechanism can only be perceived when it is shown to consistently return to equilibrium after a perturbation. The design by which a mechanism is perturbed (and the resulting stages toward equilibrium) is the scheme of a mechanism. Xenakis intended the definition of scheme as it means a plan or blueprint (Xenakis 1992: 81). In Analogique, a perturbation can be likened to starting with all X marbles in the urn example. In a perturbed stage, called P 0 A, the probability that screen A will remain screen A is 1. In other words, there is no probability; some external force is imposing a perturbation on the system. However, the next stage is one step closer toward equilibrium. 8/13
9 Since the previous stage consisted of only one possible result, the MTPZ of the next stage only has one column (Xenakis 1992: 93): A A B C D E F G H Table 4: MTPZ of P A If a composer were to choose to use all stages between perturbation and equilibrium, many MTPZs would need to be calculated. Xenakis simplified his task by utilizing only perturbations, the first stage after perturbations, and equilibrium (Xenakis 1992: 93). In all three cases, he only needed to use a single column of values. Once the equilibrium values were determined (see Table 3), he needed only to distribute screens according to those values, rather than cross-referencing every screen with the MTPZ and creating random numbers to determine each state. Scheme of Analogique B Analogique B shares the same scheme as its sister work, Analogique A. The scheme of Analogique B is: E P A0 P A E P C P C0 P B0 P B E P A Figure 9: Scheme of Analogique B (Xenakis 1992: 105) Each letter indicates a stage of the mechanism. Each stage consists of 30 states. Each state is about 0.5 seconds long. Therefore, the period of each stage is about 15 seconds (Xenakis 1992: 105). Since the mechanism itself is complex (consisting of ten stages, which in turn have 30 states, which in turn are determined by a screen of probable grains), Xenakis breaks down the scheme into protocols. Therefore, the sequence of screens pulled from the urn is a protocol that determines the distributions of the clouds of grain. Xenakis provides an example of Protocol (E), the equilibrium state: A D F F E C B D B C F E F A D G C H C C H B E D F E F F E C F E H B F F F B C H D B A B A D D B A D A D A H H B G A D G A H D A D G F B E B G A B E B B (Xenakis 1992: 97) In contrast, the protocol for the perturbation P A0 would be: A A A A A A A A A A A A Theoretically, the micro-compositional parameters (screens), the micro-compositional inferences (distributions of grains on screens), and the macro-compositional information indicated by the scheme of the mechanism provide all the necessary information to re-create Analogique B. 9/13
10 Pd Patch Pd is a graphical programming environment created by Miller Puckette. It functions similarly to Max/MSP software with an emphasis on signal processing. For Analogique B, I used P.37 for Mac OSX. Protocols and Stages The protocol defined by Xenakis is hard-coded into the patch. A counter, increasing every 0.5 seconds, triggers each of thirty states, after which the next stage is triggered. Figure 10: The Protocol of Analogique B in Pd The Mechanisms Each state is treated as an individual mechanism, behaving according to the probabilities determined by the protocol and current stage. A uniform random number is generated from 0-999, which chooses the next screen based on the current screen and the MTPZ. Figure 11: An Individual Mechanism from Analogique B in Pd 10/13
11 States (Internal Mechanisms) All thirty states are determined at the beginning of each stage. Every 0.5 seconds, the patch generates grains according to the pre-determined states until all thirty have been used. Then the next stage is triggered the the thirty states receive their new values from their internal mechanisms. Figure 12: States and Internal Mechanisms in Pd Frequency, Intensity, Density, and Temporal Distributions Each state is a numeric representation of the eight screens (0=A, 1=B, 2=C, etc.). Each screen indicates ten sets mean values for each of frequency, intensity and density. A grain generator receives one set and begins generating frequency and intensity values according to a Gaussian distribution. The grain generator also determines the mean time between grains by using the mean density (grain per time) and the duration of a state. A Poisson random number generator sends values of time between grains. The grain generator tends to create a grain at the beginning of each stage, the culmination of which over time creates a steady 120m.m. beat. Xenakis never intended for a cloud to be so closely restrained within its own stage, that grains are artificially flattened on the screen (Xenakis 1992: 50-51). This required foreknowledge of what was to occur, an unavailable commodity in real time. 11/13
12 Figure 13: A Single Grain Generator in Pd Concessions to Psychophysiology Xenakis constructed his screens so they were linear in perception, not in its physical parameters. Though his grids are square, he assumed a mapping onto a topography determined by the psychophysiological response to equalloudness curves and a logarithmic scale for density. To ensure that the grain generators create clouds on square perceptual grids, the patch uses MIDI values to generate the frequencies and a special phontodb look-up table to generate the intensities. This maintains the mapping indicated by Xenakis by his figure (Xenakis 1992: 48): Figure 14: Equal-loudness curves 12/13
13 Sonic Result Conclusion There are a number of significant differences between Xenakis original and the re-creation. The first obvious difference is the quality of sound. The analog tape sound is more complex; it appears that Xenakis used some kind of reverberation to enrich the sound of the tape. Furthermore, clipping or popping will surface in the computer version if the right combinations of grains appear, a situation easily avoided when a composer is making the choices Other differences exist beyond the obvious quality differences. These differences lead to more profound conclusions. One of the most visceral differences emerges from the fact that each state is so clearly heard. Namely, the perturbations sound distinctly more homogeneous than the equilibrium states. The second-stage perturbations have a homogeneous quality with a bit more variety. In effect, the stages themselves are perceptually more acute, more tangible, and more distinctive. The protocol of strains and relaxations are more present between the stages than in the original. Secondly, the grains merge more completely to form a complex sound, while in Xenakis version some of the higher frequencies poke through the texture to sound like a squealing musical line Yet, there is also something distinctly lacking in the real-time computer version, something human missing from the process, something sensed if not easily identified. It is a difficult quality to express or quantify. In a phrase, there seems to be a peculiar absence of intention. In essence, the process of the work is more clearly heard in the realtime version; but the art of the work exists in Xenakis carefully handcrafted tape version. I believe the reason lies in the construction of the details. Imagine the construction of Analogique B: Xenakis approximated, by hand, the results of certain random variables. These variables determined the number of grains, the frequencies of a cloud, even the intensity. Yet, Xenakis had to sit in front of a tape machine and record these grains by hand. He had to listen for intensity, making adjustments as necessary. And, when he placed the grains in time, though he might have had calculations to determine where in time he placed a grain, it did not specify which grain. Metaphorically, Xenakis had a basket of tape snippets for each cloud of grains. They contained proportions of frequencies and intensities as required by their random distribution. Also, he had a kind of map of points in time these tape snippets may be placed. Then, he chose which tape snippets to place on the map of points. The answer seems to be, then, that the re-creation lacks the composer s will, a philosophical point that Xenakis often made when comparing his stochastic music to certain determinate and in-determinate works of his contemporaries (Xenakis 1992: 77, 181). Real-time stochastic methods allow a composer to sculpt a work at a macro- level of composition. But, Analogique B was designed to have the macro-composition set beforehand, while the ability to sculpt the microcompositional elements remained. By using real-time methods in the manner in which Analogique B was created, there leaves no opportunity for human intervention. It stands to reason, then, that had Xenakis had access to real-time methods, he might have approached the construction of the piece differently than he did.

Question about Brother MFC-8840D All-In-One Laser Printer
My Brother MFC 8440D shoots out a blank sheet of paper in between every sheet that it prints. If I stick this paper back into my tray then it seems to jam it up. Also, the ADF is not working properly, I have to manually lift the lid to it to get it to pull paper through and half the time it doesn't work. Also, my row of numbers, 3, 6, 9, and the # symbol do not work at all. I press them and nothing shows up on the screen.
Posted by mandielb85 on
Do you "fan" your paper when you fill the machine? paper will adhere together, unless you " grab any corner of the fill, pull towards that same corner to allow air to get between the sheets.

On a good day only the floor under my dining table is coated with tiny Lego pieces. On a bad day, the Lego storm reaches the living room and sometimes pieces can even be found downstairs, since they sometimes fall (or are thrown) from the the landing.
Yet somehow, my six year old isn't into building with her Legos yet. She mostly plays with sets that someone else builds for her. Sometimes she uses the Lego pieces as props with her other figurines like Strawberry Shortcake, Littlest Pet Shop or My Little Pony. We built this castle from one of my Lego sets. It's probably more than thirty years old.
I would love it if you would click through and follow me on Instagram.
Juniper is bookish, but still not as bookish as me at her age. I love that she uses her legions of figurines to tell stories, though. Each character has a unique adventure and circle of friends. I think it's great play. I longed to play elaborate, make-believe games like that when I was little, but I didn't quite have the imagination for it. Still, we have all these Legos and it would be nice if she would use them to actually construct things. I was thinking on that when I crossed paths on Facebook with Sarah Dees, blogger and author of Awesome Lego Creations with Bricks You Already Have.
Sarah's publisher mailed me a free copy of her book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed in this post are my own. This post contains affiliate links and advertisements. When you use them I receive a small payment (at no cost to you) that helps support my family and this blog. Click to read more.
So, what makes Awesome Lego Creations, so awesome?
Other Lego idea books that I've seen are just that – idea books. They gloss over a lot and showcase grand projects. Awesome Lego Creations is a fun and practical resource to help your kids get more out of their Lego sets.
The first neat thing is that in the front of the book there is a "brick guide". So, you don't have to make up silly sounding names for the part you need. You can call the bricks by the descriptive and dignified names from the book and everyone will know what you mean. It's a big help for kids that aren't good at describing the piece that they need.
The illustrations in the instructions are photos of actual blocks, not diagrams. I think that makes it easier to follow. The patterns in Awesome Lego Creations are just a tiny bit less complicated than the patterns in the popular Lego Friends line. They took about as long to complete as the smaller retail sets.
There are 50 patterns for Lego creations in the book. Each pattern has a parts list and many of the patterns have step-by-step instructions. I recommend that you use the parts list extensively to gather your bricks and make any substitutions before you start building, especially if your kids are little or get frustrated and bored easily. Themes include robots, fantasy, transportation, animals and table-top games.
I can't wait to make everything in this book! If you buy Awesome Lego Creations (Amazon CAN | US) now, you'll have it just in time for Easter and you can use the pattern for a bunny and basket on a Spring lawn.

For those of us who live in Texas, we have many options when it comes to energy selection. The first and most important piece of advice I would share with you is that you need to research your options on the Texas Energy Companies website. It doesn't matter what part of Texas you live in; this website covers all regions of the state. You'll find that you have different options based on where you live. That's a good thing, because the more options you have, the better decision you'll be able to make.
One thing I learned from the website is that there are different ways to receive energy, and different types of plans you can select. With the monthly plan, your rates may fluctuate month-to-month based on how much energy you use.

Delhi HC orders relocation of evictted slum dwellers
In a major relief to slum dwellers here, the Delhi High Court has directed the government to relocate them with basic amenities within four months.
New Delhi: In a major relief to slum
dwellers here, the Delhi High Court has directed the
government to relocate them with basic amenities within four
A Division Bench of Chief Justice A P Shah and Justice
S Muralidhar said "the relocation policy will be granted an
alternative site as per the Master Plan Delhi 2021..."
"The state agencies will ensure that basic amenities,
consistent with the rights to life and dignity of each of the
citizens in the jhuggies are available at the site of
relocation," said the Bench.
Meanwhile, the court also directed the Member Secrtaey
Delhi Legal Services Authority(DLSA) to hold regular camps in
slum clusters and in relocated sites to make aware of their
The Bench`s order came on a petition filed by the slum
dwellers from Sanjay Camp and Nehru Camp Slum Clusters
challenging MCD`s drive to demolish the slums last year
without providing the alternate site for them.
According to the petitioner, they have been residing for
the past several years and demolition of slums without
relocation with proper amenities was against human rights.
In February last year, Sanjay camp slums were removed in
the name of construction of an underpass in Okhla phase-I and
Nehru camp was demolished for widening National Highway-24 in

Primacy of Darkness(2015)
(The third book in the Brooklyn Shadows series)
A novel by Brock E Deskins
Jack the Ripper, sadistic madman of old London, once thought long dead, has returned to New York in an effort to quench his thirst for blood and mayhem. When the city's vampire enclave finds itself insufficient to deal with a madman of Jack's caliber, Vincent, the enclave head, enlists Leo Malone to put the maniac down before he reveals the existence of vampires as he throws the city into the throes of chaos and terror. Leo soon finds that Jack is not the only monster with which he must contend. A ghost from his past has also seemingly crawled from its grave and seeks to put an end to him and the rest of his kind.

Discussion in 'XenForo Questions and Support' started by iardon, Oct 7, 2010.
I guess that option isn't available yet? Couldn't find anything in the ACP or config file.
In the ACP -> Home -> Options -> Attachments
There you can set image and thumbnail dimensions.
And the forum will automatically scale down images?
How do I make the re sizer in the tread resize the all photo attachments so they fit my site. some are to long and I really want like 600 X 600 resized. But I would like them to upload the photos larger to start with and have the script size it smaller. Thanks
Go into the ACP -> Home -> Options -> Attachments and set the Maximum Attachment Image Dimensions (Width x Height) to 600 x 600.
All uploaded images will then be resized to those maximum dimensions.
Server side file size (KB) resizing is not supported.
Whatever value you put in the Maximum Attachment File Size (KB) field, anything larger than that will be rejected.
Thank you so much! I still wonder if there is a way to let them upload a larger photo (so there is less problems with resize) and then with a script like the VB mod to size all photos in post to a reasonable size
Sorry dredge this old post up, but one of the few returned search results...
Hmmm, that requires that the end user know how to resize an/or optimize and image, that's a HUGE assumption.
Ideally, a user can upload any dimension size image and there be an option, clip the size client side per a height or width dimension, other-wise an uploaded 2048 x 1024 image would break the layout of a site designed at a set width Sure, that might not be an "efficient" or code friendly way of handling over sized linked or uploaded attachments, but it's an overhead that I can afford and my members expect.
The above post which was made some time ago.
The FAQ has been updated with information regarding uploading: http://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/#post-180445
Thanks, sorry it didn't turn up in search
No worries.
Just for reference, I have max file size set to 1024 KB and max dimensions set to 1440 x 960.
I can safely upload images with a file size of 6 MB and dimensions of 5184 x 3456.
After being resized to 1440 x 960 they are less than 150 KB.
