Iceberg model of culture examples8/11/2023 ![]() ![]() Tolkien can go on for pages describing a setting, especially if it has anything to do with nature. Same with ‘ The Lord of the Rings’ (oh, the blasphemy on my part). It’s like he gave the reader a brief overview (the books are fist thick) of the iceberg that is his story before he flooded most of it and continued to show the top in the rest of the series. It’s long, it’s tedious and there’s no action. ‘ The Name of the Wind series’ by Patrick Rothfuss starts with a 100-page world building and setting experience. The following examples are just minor issues I personally had with their books because the way they described their world or initiated the story was too descriptive. To be honest, it’s hard to fault writers, favorite or not. It’s just that it’s a less immersive and engaging reading experience in my opinion. With some novels, especially in Fantasy and Sci-Fi, authors tend to walk down the treacherous path of endless description. With the iceberg technique, you give the reader the impression that you know it all, that you have the whole iceberg there. You show your reader what’s there on the surface. As a writer you should know the entire story (the whole iceberg so to say). The Iceberg Technique was invented by Hemingway because he wanted his stories to be engaging and immersive. This is just for you to keep in the back of your mind or in a separate file while you tell your story. The part below sea level can be background information, character sketches, history, complete magical systems, technological developments, governmental issues, etc. The part below sea level (which is usually way bigger) is the rest of your fictional world.įor the sake of this article I’ll focus on Fantasy and Sci-Fi. The top ( above sea level) is the part you actually share in your story. Imagine the iceberg to be your fictional world and all the elements in it. So, what is this Iceberg Model used in writing? Icebergs exist both above and below sea-level. Originally, the technique has been coined by Ernest Hemingway. I was using this technique when I started out writing, without knowing what it was called. I first heard of the term in an online lecture by Brandon Sanderson. Most of you probably have heard of this one, the Iceberg Theory. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.” – Ernest Hemingway The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. “If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them.

Creator higan bsnes emulators died8/11/2023 ![]() If you are looking for a highly accurate emulator with better performance that is easier to use than higan, check out bsnes instead. If you have questions or comments, there is an official message board for higan.īecause of higan's quirkiness, the author has resumed development of bsnes. 1 2 Next tepples Posts: 22527 Joined: Mon 6:12 am Location: NE Indiana, USA (NTSC) My experience building higan and bsnes-plus on Ubuntu by tepples » Sat 5:09 pm In another post, it was suggested that I try building bsnes performance to see how well it runs on the Atom N450 in my laptop. Higan is also available for OS X and Linux, but you have to compile it yourself. The author of higan calls this system "Game Paks, " and a full explanation is available on the official site. Things like save states and save games are then stored alongside in that folder. It will put each game into its own folder. It'll copy every ROM you load with it to an "Emulation" folder in your home folder (this is configurable). The way higan handles ROMs is also a little different. Even for playing full screen no hotkey is assigned by default. For example, one thing you may need to do is configuring the controls as by default no keymap is set up.

Edvard grieg morning8/11/2023 ![]() Grieg later created two suites from his Peer Gynt music. It premiered along with the play on 24 February 1876 in Christiania (now Oslo). 23, is the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name, written by the Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg in 1875. The fine Russian pianist, Grigory Guinsbourg (1904-1961), known as a painter of sounds on piano, made this wonderful arrangement of the piece for piano.Edvard Grieg, in a photograph taken in 1888, by Elliott & Fry As Grieg and his wife, Nina, strolled through the streets of Bergen, children would follow after, whistling these tunes, in tribute to the great composer. His works contain what today are readily recognizable "tunes" - as indeed they were in the composer's time. In the Peer Gynt Suite, Grieg captures the rising of the sun, the lamenting of a death, and, in The Hall of the Mountain King, the imagery of a chase scene. He was a master at painting the people, the scenery, and the moods of Norway with notes. Grieg was one of the greatest Norwegian composers. _ Morning Mood, from Peer Gynt Suite Edvard Grieg The second suite, opus 55, contains the movements The Abduction of the Bride-Ingrid’s Lament, Arabian Dance, Peer Gynt’s Homecoming, and Solveig’s Song. Of the original twenty-eight numbers, Grieg selected for the first suite, published as opus 46, Morning Mood, The Death of Åse, Anitra’s Dance, and In the Hall of the Mountain King. Grieg’s music aptly matches the mood of Ibsen’s play. ![]() Furthermore, while praised by some, it was also heavily criticized by such notable authors as Hans Christian Andersen and Georg Brandes. The initial first edition published in 1876 was quickly sold out, but an immediate reprint of two thousand copies took seven years to sell. Though today Peer Gynt is one of the most often performed Norwegian plays, its reception after its premiere was mixed. Old and bankrupt, Peer returns to Norway where he is confronted with the vagabond life he has led. During the course of the play’s five acts, he kidnaps a bride on her wedding day, runs off with another woman, ventures into the hall of a troll king, travels as far as Morocco and Egypt, engages in slave trade, impersonates a prophet while attempting to seduce an Arab chieftain’s daughter only to be swindled by her later, and then finds himself in a madhouse where he believes himself an emperor. Despite his mother’s hopes, Peer is no different. Ibsen’s play tells the story of Peer Gynt, son of the infamous Jon Gynt who squandered all his money on a lavish lifestyle. The first has become widely popular since its appearance and a staple of the orchestral repertoire, as well as frequently appearing in popular culture. ![]() ![]() Over a decade later, in 18, Grieg selected eight numbers from opus 23 to make the two four-movement suites. The music, along with the play, was premiered on February 24, 1876. The music of these two suites Grieg originally composed as part of his incidental music for Henrik Ibsen’s 1867 play of the same name, and was published as his opus 23. Edvard Grieg’s two Peer Gynt Suites contain some of the most recognizable and well-known orchestral compositions in the literature, among their collective eight movements being the famous Morning Mood and In the Hall of Mountain King.

Dsp quattro no such volume8/11/2023 In addition, some nuclear factors, such as HNF-4α (CYP3A4), HNF-4 and USF-1 (CYP3A23) are likely needed for optimal CYP3A expression. It has been shown that the regulation of CYP3A expression involves different nuclear receptors, such as GR, PXR, CAR and VDR. Regulation of CYP3A gene expression in humans is one of the best known among the CYP genes. There are many known drugs which are substrates for CYP3A, including: psychotropics, calcium channel blockers (e.g., nifedipine), cyclosporine, macrolide antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin), antifungal drugs (e.g., clotrimazole, ketoconazole), and endogenous substances, mainly steroids (testosterone, progesterone, estradiol, and androstenedione), as well as bile acids and retinol. The CYP3A subfamily is the most abundant in human liver and belongs to the most expressed subfamilies in animals. CYP isoforms are involved in the metabolism of high-activity endogenous substrates (e.g., steroids, arachidonic acid, neurotransmitters, and vitamins), most of clinically important drugs and harmful xenobiotics. Further studies into the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal hormones in DSP-4 treated mice may explain sex-specific differences in CYP3A regulation, whereas investigation of monoaminergic receptor sensitivity in the hypothalamic/pituitary areas of NET –/– mice will allow for understanding a lack of changes in the CYP3A activity in the NET-KO animals.Ĭytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are members of the superfamily of heme-containing monooxygenases. The results with DSP-4 treated mice showed sex-dependent differences in the regulation of liver CYP3A by the brain noradrenergic system (with only males being responsive), and revealed that the NET knockout did not affect CYP3A in both sexes. The NET knockout did not affect the CYP3A activity/protein in both sexes. The level of CYP3A protein was not changed. At the same time, DSP-4 reduced the CYP3A activity in males, but not in females. ResultsĭSP-4 evoked a selective decrease in the noradrenaline level in the brain of male and female mice. The CYP3A protein level was estimated by Western blotting. The activity of CYP3A was measured as the rate of 6β-hydroxylation of testosterone in liver microsomes. DSP-4 was injected intraperitoneally as a single dose (50 mg/kg ip.) to WT mice. ![]() The experiments were conducted on C57BL/6J WT and NET –/– male/female mice. In the present work, a comparative study on the effect of intraperitoneal administration of the noradrenergic neurotoxin DSP-4 and the knockout of noradrenaline transporter (NET-KO) on the CYP3A in the liver of male and female mice was performed. Our earlier studies have shown that the brain noradrenergic system regulates cytochrome P450 (CYP) in rat liver via neuroendocrine mechanism. Mr and mrs white hotel paros8/11/2023 ![]() Our rooms were poorly appointed (tired linen, no tea/coffee facilities, no surfaces to put anything on off the dirty floor), dirty even after the cleaners had been in, and felt second rate to the pretty pictures online - no pictures of the double bed jammed up against the wall or the shower that was so small you had to step out of it to raise your arms and lather your shampoo! When we enquired if there was any other rooms available (and happy to pay extra) we were briskly told no. A walk from the main area across the dusty road away from the swimming pools, bougainvillea joy and life of the main hotel facilities, which Elias assured us as we checked in (after seeing our disappointed faces) that ‘we could still use these’! Red flag instantly. We were located in their Armelina apartments. That beautiful bougainvillea at the entrance ticks all the Greek Island holiday boxes! We had booked 2 rooms for our family of four and have come away so disappointed. MMW Paros on first glance was a beauty to walk into. Lots to describe, I hope I could post some pics for reality check One sentence verdict: would not pay 5 star hotel price for 2 star motel!!! Total bad experience for paying $1700.00 for 3 nights and extra night for flight cancellation issues.… ![]() we could not get even ketch up sachets for our sandwich, they said they can't give :(, We convinced ourselves, that the server did not understand, The place is not even close to any place, absolutely not with 10-15 mins, with rough, rocky streets on a dark, beaten path. Now, I see a reason for their non refundable, pre paid booking, they exactly know to rip people during our vacation. On whole, I would not even give 1 star, if not for staff, trying hard to please their customers. Inside, the hotel, rooms which we stayed were terrible, small, inconvenient, with no good showers, with noisy fans, creaky doors and cheap IKEA shades to reduce incoming light, with no effect, sinks outside the bathroom Bathroom fans were not working. Beautiful outside pics on the website are so deceiving, I would say not to fall for outside pics. ![]() ![]() We stayed in Sea view rooms during Aug 1st-4th 2022. She is happy to take photos of you and your significant other as well if you ask! Great hotel and value for the cost! -John and Ashley june/July 2022… She even helped us book a new boat excursion when our original one got cancelled and we really enjoyed the one she recommended. She recommended activities and helped us plan a day in Lefkes and Anti Paros (she took care of renting us a car) which was a blast and really allowed us to get out and explore Paros like it should be explored. Ginger the bartender was very friendly and pleasant to talk to and made great drinks! Stephanie made our stay here! She was truly happy to have us staying at the hotel. The staff was great! Elias at the front desk was always very friendly and gave us a great greeting when we arrived and was always available to call us cabs when we needed it. The landscaping is very nice and allows for some really nice photos. The pool set up is great and was never too crowded. We very much enjoyed our time here for our honeymoon in June of 2022.
Class actio lawsuit hewlett packard8/11/2023 ![]() The “secretive, automatic and misleading” firmware updates that HP employs enable the printers’ incompatibility with aftermarket supplies harm competition, as HP “deprives its printer users of the choice whether to purchase more expensive HP supplies or the less expensive supplies of lawful competitors… Plaintiffs would not have purchased an HP printer had they known HP was engaged in and would engage in such conduct.” Mobile Emergency also provides mobile facilities that are equipped for conducting quarantines.”Īlthough no antitrust claim is included, unfair competition is at the heart of the complaint. Mobile Emergency is a specifically sympathetic plaintiff as it “provides mobile housing to natural disaster victims and first responders in the United States and the Caribbean. The lockouts led to various business losses as a result of non-functioning printers. and Track Rat Enterprises Inc., claimed HP was able to lock out competitors’ cartridges by transmitting firmware updates to certain printer models without authorization. District Court for Northern California, the plaintiffs, including Mobile Emergency Housing Corp. As the complaint reads, customers are allegedly “left with useless printers and supply cartridges” if they don’t use OEM cartridges, which the lawsuit claims are grossly overpriced. The aftermarket has been struggling against these firmware upgrades, which make servicing frustrated customers so difficult, especially during a pandemic. The complaint, filed on December 17, accuses HP of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the California Comprehensive Computer Data Access and Fraud Act, the California False Advertising Law and the California Unfair Competition Law, as well as trespass to chattels, or the intentional interference with plaintiff’s lawful possession of the personal property.
