![]() ![]() Musical form Ĭhladni figures produced by sound vibrations in fine powder on a square plate. The elements of musical form often build strict proportions or hypermetric structures (powers of the numbers 2 and 3). Modern musical use of terms like meter and measure also reflects the historical importance of music, along with astronomy, in the development of counting, arithmetic and the exact measurement of time and periodicity that is fundamental to physics. Without the boundaries of rhythmic structure – a fundamental equal and regular arrangement of pulse repetition, accent, phrase and duration – music would not be possible. Confucius, like Pythagoras, regarded the small numbers 1,2,3,4 as the source of all perfection. Early Indian and Chinese theorists show similar approaches: all sought to show that the mathematical laws of harmonics and rhythms were fundamental not only to our understanding of the world but to human well-being. įrom the time of Plato, harmony was considered a fundamental branch of physics, now known as musical acoustics. Their central doctrine was that "all nature consists of harmony arising out of numbers". Though ancient Chinese, Indians, Egyptians and Mesopotamians are known to have studied the mathematical principles of sound, the Pythagoreans (in particular Philolaus and Archytas) of ancient Greece were the first researchers known to have investigated the expression of musical scales in terms of numerical ratios, particularly the ratios of small integers. While music theory has no axiomatic foundation in modern mathematics, the basis of musical sound can be described mathematically (using acoustics) and exhibits "a remarkable array of number properties". The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number theory. ![]() It uses mathematics to study elements of music such as tempo, chord progression, form, and meter. Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music. The intensity colouring is logarithmic (black is −120 dBFS). The bright lines show how the spectral components change over time.

Among the peaks of his career was his time as president of Venezolana de Exportaciones e Importaciones C.A. This despite his frequent rotation in state posts and consistent affiliation with both Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.ĭespite never having flown a plane, Yoffreda -whose specialty are communications- has jumped between top aviation posts, corporations, ministries and embassies, sustained by his proximity to the top brass. His tactic for 18 years has been to maintain a low public profile. Giuseppe Yoffreda has been a staple in the slew of broken loyalties that has characterised ‘chavismo’. Based on a leak of documents from 2009-12, when Hugo Chávez signed multiple economic and technical cooperation agreements with China, it casts light on a key period in the development of the relationship between the leaders of the self-styled Bolivarian Revolution and the emerging world superpower. This is the second instalment of the reporting project. However, Venezuelan government documents obtained by and analysed for the series Venezuela’s dance with China in alliance with the Latin American Centre for Investigative Journalism (CLIP), and with support from Diálogo Chino, expose the deal to the public for the first time. The purchase of the Y8s, tactical transport aircraft intended to reinforce or replace the ageing fleet of C130 Hercules in service since 1971, was the result of negotiations entangled by ultimately capricious costs for the aircraft, technical support and systems.ĭisagreements over the exchange rate of the purchases, letters of complaint between Venezuelan officials and Chinese authorities and the role of Major General Giuseppe Angelo Yoffreda Yorio - a military aviation officer who centralised purchases of arms and equipment, even before he went on to manage all Venezuela’s international purchases - were some of the subplots. He proclaimed a new victory for the revolution and internationalism in the face of another devious manoeuvre by the imperialist enemy, in its attempt to stifle sovereign Venezuela.īut behind the president's epic lay the harsh reality. Nonetheless, that was not going to deprive Chávez of the opportunity to build a story. The recording, of domestic quality, could do little in the darkness of the Aragua night. Images of the aircrafts’ arrival were running on the screens but they weren’t clear. "The gringos didn't want to sell us the spare parts for the Hercules, we almost didn't have any planes," the commander's voice was heard on the radio and television network, referring to US-made planes. Barely a month later he was to give his last public speech, designating Nicolás Maduro as his successor as he left for Havana to fight, unsuccessfully, for his life.īut on this occasion he had something to celebrate and share with his people. ![]() He had a short future and perhaps he knew it. A month earlier, Chávez had just won what would be his last electoral contest. "These planes left China, crossed Africa, passed through Brazil and landed in Maracay," said the late Hugo Chávez, describing the route of two Y8 four-engine planes that had landed the night before at the Libertador Air Base, some 100 kilometres west of Caracas. ![]() ![]() In case it causes a problem for certain old games and you want to use the old key code, Changed the default key emulation code for arrow keys, R-Alt and R-Ctrl, to fix some compatibility issue with recent Windows 10.Supported additional key-code emulations such as the volume control (up / down / mute), media control (prev / next / play / stop), and SCROLL_LOCK key.Supported multiple screens for the absolute movement of a mouse cursor.When you connect a new joystick to the PC, you can just click the task tray icon to get it recognized (either left click or right click).

The mechanics, like dual wielding plasmids and guns is also a big plus. It has the same atmosphere and feeling like the first game but looks way nicer. The graphics and gameplay in BioShock 2 have been greatly improved. You feel like a Bouncer Big Daddy right away from the start of the game. You play as a Big Daddy this time, so the perspective is completely different. History from the first game, the founding of Rapture and the many mad scientist experiments that happened there. Everywhere are pieces of the story that fits perfectly with the whole series.

The first job of iClock was to remedy that omission. We found ourselves clicking daily in the menu bar, until we thought, “enough of that” and decided it was time to make something better. Every day you needed to click the menu bar to show the date. When Mac OS X first came out, it had a nice clock in the menu bar, but sadly it only displayed the time. We can, however, give you a nifty collection of tools to enjoy time. Sorry, some day we would like to go into this deeper but this is not the place for that fascinating discussion. Time and space are modes in which we think, not conditions in which we live. – Albert Einstein It’s become an extremely complex illusion. Sundials, hourglasses, clocks, calendars, watches, etc. Working from that we have made all sorts of tools to measure and display time. The measurement of time was based mostly on the movement of the sun. Seeing the sun rise and set convinced us for eons that the sun goes round the earth but it turns out the opposite is closer to the truth. Along with space it may be the very best of illusions. “The best thing about the future is that it comes only one day at a time.” – Abraham Lincoln World-famous Unlock Tool software for MTK / MediaTek, etc.Always make sure to get the latest version and read the paragraph below to set it up right.ĮSSENTIAL: Click here to go to, ‘Install’ section to setup iClock.

If you drew the 6-10, you could play it on the 3-10, 6-1, or 4-6. When placing one tile on top of another, at least one end of the tile you are playing should match at least one end of the tile you are covering. Finally, place the double-blank tile inside your circle, at the very top, so as to "point to 12:00."Īfter the initial layout is finished, draw tiles one at a time from the deck, seeking to place each tile face up on top of another tile in your clock formation. Draw 12 tiles, and then place them, faceup, in a circular shape, placing the first tile at the point that will be considered "12:00" (where 12 would appear on a clock face), and continue by placing the second tile at '1:00' and so on, proceeding clockwise. Play: Remove the double-blank tile from the deck. For example, the 1-1 tile would be placed in the formation in the same location the 1 would appear on a clock face the 2-2 would be placed where the 2 would appear and so on. Object of the game: To arrange the 12 double tiles from the set into a circular formation, each double being positioned in the same place as it would appear on a clock face. ![]() ![]() General observations that Florence’s face has traits traditionally considered to be beautiful in woman, including good complexion, large eyes, full lips and high cheekbones.Other studies have shown that slight facial asymmetry is found in beautiful faces, and even adds to their uniqueness, so symmetry cannot be the determining factor either. In addition, unattractive faces can be symmetrical as well. Florence’s face is not really all that symmetrical, as illustrated by the photo below and by the symmetry video on Florence’s Facebook page. ![]()
