![]() MSED will allow you to remove the center panned audio or the side panned audio to whatever degree you wish. ![]() In other words, the lead vocals are usually panned dead center while the backing tracks panned somewhat left and right. You may also find of use a free plugin from Voxengo called MSED which allows you to isolate the mid channel from the side channels of a stereo file. All that’s left is to remove the original stereo track and hard pan your new mono tracks Left and Right. This will export your stereo track as two separate mono files which will be placed in the current project’s pool and imported to two mono tracks at the exact same start point in the project. Under “Import Into Project” check both “Pool” and “Audio Track”. Under “Audio Engine Output” select the Sample Rate and Bit Depth that match your project. Click the down arrow for “Path” and choose: Use Project Audio Folder. Make sure the track fader and master output fader are set to 0 dB (less if you get clipping). Unfortunately the process I know for this is a little complicated.ĭrag the locators in the timeline to encompass the entire file. So could have been asking questions about the wrong software. PS I own the Cubase 7 Elements, not the LE, or whatever the higher-priced on is. If you are a patient man, then I pass this problem on to you, and if you can give me some wise words, I’d would be in heaven! But I can’t record midi into WAVELAB, right?Īrgh! Pretty frustrating. I can do it in WAVELAB, you know, removing a track. I don’t want to saddle you with a whole bunch of questions, but if you can make any sense at all out of what I told you, good luck and thanks! BTW, it was easy in my older Cubase because there was a menu item which asked you whether you wanted to split the tracks, or not. With the Cubase I also got WAVELAB and SEQUEL. And then there’s a message I get sometimes saying that I have no ASIO DUPLEX drive, or words to that effect. ![]() And this Cubase doesn’t have any decent VST instruments at all that I can see. Back in the day, when I owned an older version of Cubase, I had no problem separating the tracks because I could do it in XP right in the computer you could set left or right speakers very easily, and I also had a slew of music fonts I could install right in the computer as well. The Korg is hooked up with the usual midi cables to the CI1 adapter, and at this point I have no idea what it actually does. That way I hear only the part of the band I want to hear the muted track will have my instrument (the piano) which I don’t want to to hear back, because I’m playing the piano and only need the background. All I want to do is record myself playing, with only the left channel going (in my case), and muting the other one. The way the two channels are separate is one channel is one part of the band, the other is a different part. If I want to listen to only one channel (left or right), there doesn’t seem to be a way to do that. When I import the audio into Cubase, it ends up as 1 track with two channels. These are recorded on two channels (well and good, not problem here). These listening tracks I mentioned, by Aebersold.

![]() The scaling is messed up! Fortunately, these big patches are very rare so it's nothing to worry about,Īnd it doesn't crash or break the game at all. vmt files in these small patches i don't know why, and since the textures are bigger, i have tried in many ways, but nothing works.

Note: don’t let your child play story or horror games, and Make sure your kid is smart enough not to play bad looking games. ![]() Before I end this review, I just wanna say a few games you child can get started with: Also you may notice something called robux, and this is basically an in-game curreńcy that lets you get game passes for games and make your in game character, the downfall with this is the fact that you buy Robux with real money and this could lead to your child spending tons of money just for an avatar. Roblox games can also have groups that are basically where the owner can announce updates and people can talk to each other like the chat, and I would recommend not letting your child visit these in game groups, because people can scam and say you get free moneÿ for clicking a virus. And don’t let your child play random games just because it says nine plus or all ages, because they can have unrealistic blood and sometimes violence, so always make sure the game isn’t bad by clicking on the game scrolling through the description until you see the age rating and what is in the game. I would also recommend going to the parental controls and making it so your child can only play games Nine and older because you probably don’t want your child playing 13 plus games. This is because chat can expose people to profanity (if someone bypasses it) and Rude people, so definitely make sure to turn it off. Simply press the Cog on the top right of your screen and click settings, then go to Privacy and click “who can chat with me?” And turn it to no one.

Let’s get into the most suitable Roblox games for kids. ![]() ROBLOX is lots of things like Exploration, combat, parkour, RolePlay, and SO much more! Now allow me to explain how ROBLOX is like. I have also avoided games that require a lot of in-app purchases or have tricky purchases that your child may end up interacting with by mistake. ![]() But the thing is, it’s so creative to the fact that people can make some pretty horrible stuff on it, for example people have made games with EXTREME violence and scary imagery, but before you stop reading this and scream at your child for even asking there is actually ways to avoid the bad and enjoy the good stuff cause after all, it’s not a video game. ROBLOX is a PlatForm about exploration creativity and imagination. This review is not by an adult but please take your time to read it… seriously. ![]() No single cognitive screening tool is universally recommended for use worldwide. Identifying the early stages of cognitive decline remains challenging. Early detection of cognitive impairment becomes imperative to initiate management, and also to prepare caregivers in handling the syndrome. This translates to almost 82,000 people in 2018 and is expected to exceed 187,000 by 2050 ( Alzheimer’s Disease Association Singapore, 2020). According to the Well-being of the Singapore Elderly (WiSE) study ( Subramaniam et al., 2015), one in ten people aged 60 years and above may have dementia. Singapore faces increasing prevalence of dementia in an aging population. The number of people with dementia is expected to triple by 2050 ( World Health Organisation, 2020). The World Health Organization projects that 50 million people worldwide live with dementia, with nearly 10 million cases diagnosed each year. The CAVIRE has the potential to be an alternative screening modality for cognition in the primary care setting.ĭementia is a syndrome of one’s cognitive function deterioration, leading to increasing difficulties in coping with everyday activities. There was a greater variability in the completion time for the MoCA, most markedly in the oldest group, whereas completion time was less variable for the CAVIRE tasks in all age groups, with most consistency in the 45–54 year-age group.Ĭonclusion: We demonstrate almost equivalent completion times for a VR and a questionnaire-based cognition assessment, with inter-age group variation in VR completion time synonymous to that in conventional screening methods. older, participants completed both the MoCA and CAVIRE tasks in a shorter time. Results: Completion time for CAVIRE as compared to MoCA was significantly ( p < 0.01) shorter, overall (mean difference: 74.9 (SD) seconds) and in each age group. They were assessed using the CAVIRE, comprising 13 segments featuring common everyday activities assessing all six cognitive domains, and the completion time was also recorded through the embedded automated scoring and timing framework. Completion time for the MoCA assessment for each participant was recorded. Methods: A total of 100 participants with a MoCA score of 26 or more were recruited equally into the four 10-year age groups at a primary care clinic in Singapore. CAVIRE (Cognitive Assessment by VIrtual REality), a fully immersive virtual reality system incorporating automated audio-visual instructions and a scoring matrix was developed to assess the six cognitive domains, with potential to maintain consistency in execution of the testing environment and possibly time-saving in busy primary care practice.Īims: This is a feasibility study to compare the completion times of the questionnaire-based Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and the CAVIRE in cognitively-healthy Asian adults aged between 35 and 74 years, overall, and in and across each 10-year age group (35–44 45–54 55–64 65–74). Existing questionnaire-based cognitive assessment tools may not comprehensively assess cognitive function and real-time task-performance across all cognitive domains.

This was partly inspired by Jake’s experience staying in a yurt in Mongolia. Instead of opting for a ready-made home, they chose to live in a yurt. While they needed to clear an area to build their home, they’re also conscious of the environment and seek to have as small of a footprint as they can. There were also no houses in the area where they are living, but rather a dense wild forest. If more people start using solar energy in their homes, the difference adds up.īecause of their choices, Jake and Nicole didn’t want to live in a traditional house. It is important to remember that small actions are better than no actions. ![]() Including a solar system, like these 200-watt solar panels, can significantly reduce your electricity bill while also helping to save the environment. You do not need to want to be totally off-grid to get into solar energy. Going with a company like greatly simplified the process of switching to solar energy. This might seem unachievable for most people, but you can get off-grid solar systems from This means that they must rely on clean energy sources like solar and wind. In fact, their home is located on North Vancouver Island and is only accessible by boat. This is made easier by the fact that they’re so remote that there’s no grid to connect to. One of their significant focuses is being off-grid, which means not being connected to a municipal power supply. While not all of us can leave behind our lives for the Canadian wilderness, Jake and Nicole provide a sense of escapism and fantasy about a different way of living. It’s life stripped down to the basics, without the many complications that come with city living. There’s a certain serenity to their lifestyle. However, their videos can be appealing to people who feel overwhelmed by the pace of modern life. ![]() They make it clear that their lifestyle is not an easy one and showcase a lot of the hard work that goes into making things work. One of their major priorities is sustainability, and you can learn a lot from watching their YouTube videos.Īnother major selling point of their channel is the sense of peace you get from watching their simple lifestyle. They focus on simple living and being at one with the natural world. ![]() How long does it take for a security freeze to be in effect?Ĭredit bureaus must place the freeze no later than three business days after receiving your written request. Most businesses will not open credit accounts without first checking a consumer's credit history. A security freeze means that your credit file cannot be seen by potential creditors, insurance companies, or employers doing background checks – unless you give your consent. It should not stop you from using your existing credit cards or other accounts. A fraud alert can also slow down your ability to get new credit. A fraud alert can help protect you against identity theft. It tells the credit issuer that there may be fraud involved in the account. ![]() What is the difference between a fraud alert and a freeze?Ī fraud alert is a special message on the report that a credit issuer receives when checking a consumer's credit rating. The credit bureaus must lift your freeze within three days. You will also get instructions on how to lift the freeze by using your PIN. After you contact the credit bureaus asking for the freeze, each credit bureau will send you a Personal Identification Number (PIN). Or you can lift it for a specific creditor. If you want to open a new credit account or get a new loan, you can lift the freeze on your credit file. Can I open new credit accounts if my files are frozen? And if you are someone’s guardian, conservator or have a valid power of attorney, you can get a free freeze for that person, too. You also can get a free freeze for your children who are under 16. Starting September 21, 2018, you can freeze and unfreeze your credit file for free. Note: If these links do not work, search "security freeze" on the credit bureau web sites. Here are the freeze web pages for the credit bureaus. See the sample letters at the end of this sheet for addresses and what information to include. To place a freeze, you must contact each of the three credit bureaus. If your credit files are frozen, even someone who has your name and Social Security number would probably not be able to get credit in your name. A security freeze can help prevent identity theft. A security freeze means that your file cannot be shared with potential creditors. If you live in California, you have the right to put a "security freeze" on your credit file. However, the advantage of non-symmetrical puzzles is that, having one less constraint, they allow the elaboration of more difficult problems. Indeed it is the puzzle that is symmetrical and not the solution. This is only esthetic and does not change the resolution mode of the grid. Symmetrical and asymmetrical puzzlesĪn irregular jigsaw puzzle is symmetrical when the squares that compose it are arranged equally around the central square known as the center of symmetry. Number of multiple choices in extreme asymmetrical puzzles :įrom 1 to 19 multiple choices are possible, in proportion with the puzzle number.Įxtreme asymmetrical puzzles with the highest numbers are the most difficult to be solved and just proposed as a "curiosity".įor more details on these techniques similar to those of regular sudoku, see: General help. Number of multiple choices in extreme symmetrical puzzles : Puzzles " Extreme" are solvable by " Inclusion", " Exclusion", Pairs exclusive" and " Multiple choices".Puzzles " Expert" are solvable by " Inclusion", " Exclusion" and "Pairs exclusive".Puzzles " Confirmed" are fully resolvable by " Inclusion" and " Exclusion" while admitting to other methods.Puzzles " Beginner" are fully resolvable by " Inclusion" while accepting other methods.Only the expert level requires you to pencil in the candidates if you cannot see the solution. ![]() ![]() The beginner and confirmed levels are solvable by logical deduction. It allows veterans of sudoku to find new visual configurations. Why play irregular sudoku? Irregular sudoku is a variation of sudoku. Also note that the aspect of difficulty is subjective, because different solving techniques suit different people. Indeed, the symmetrical ones have an additional constraint - precisely to be symmetrical - so they have fewer empty squares to solve. Choose a random puzzle:Ĭhoice of puzzles: Our irregular sudoku were designed and graded so that at the same level the higher the puzzle number, the more difficult the solution, with this nuance that in our classification, at equal levels and numbers, symmetrical puzzles are a little easier to solve than asymmetrical ones. ![]() The roots of the brachial plexus are formed by the anterior rami of spinal nerves C5-T1 (the posterior divisions innervate the skin and musculature of the intrinsic back muscles).Īfter their formation, these nerves pass between the anterior and medial scalene muscles to enter the base of the neck. They leave the spinal cord via the intervertebral foramina of the vertebral column.Įach spinal nerve then divides into an anterior and a posterior ramus. These are the anterior rami of spinal nerves C5, C6, C7, C8, and T1.Īt each vertebral level, paired spinal nerves arise. ![]() The ‘roots’ refer the anterior rami of the spinal nerves that comprise the brachial plexus. There are no functional differences between these divisions - they are simply used to aid explanation of the brachial plexus. The brachial plexus is divided into five parts roots, trunks, divisions, cords and branches (a good mnemonic for this is Read That Damn Cadaver Book). In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the brachial plexus - its formation and anatomical course through the body. This is position is known as ‘ waiter’s tip’ and is characteristic of Erb’s palsy. The wrist is weakly flexed due to the normal tone of the wrist flexors relative to the weakened wrist extensors. The forearm is pronated due to the loss of biceps brachii. The affected limb hangs limply, medially rotated by the unopposed action of pectoralis major. Sensory functions affected – sensation over the lateral aspect of upper limb (C5-6 dermatomes).Motor functions affected – abduction at shoulder, lateral rotation of arm, supination of forearm, and flexion at shoulder.Muscles affected – supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subclavius, biceps brachii, brachialis, coracobrachialis, deltoid and teres minor.This includes the musculocutaneous, axillary, suprascapular, and nerve to subclavius. Nerves affected – the peripheral nerves derived from C5-6 roots are most affected.It most commonly occurs as a result of a stretching injury during a difficult vaginal delivery. There are no functional differences between these divisions – they are simply used to aid explanation of the brachial plexus.Ĭlinical Relevance: Upper Brachial Plexus Injury (Erb’s Palsy)Įrb’s palsy refers to an injury to the upper roots of the brachial plexus (typically C5-6). In this article, we shall look at the anatomy of the brachial plexus – its formation and anatomical course through the body. The plexus is formed by the anterior rami (divisions) of cervical spinal nerves C5, C6, C7 and C8, and the first thoracic spinal nerve, T1. ![]() It begins in the root of the neck, passes through the axilla, and runs through the entire upper extremity. The brachial plexus is a network of nerve fibres that supplies the skin and musculature of the upper limb. 8 Clinical Relevance: Lower Brachial Plexus Injury (Klumpke’s Palsy).7 Clinical Relevance: Upper Brachial Plexus Injury (Erb’s Palsy).5.6 Practical Relevance: Dissecting the Brachial Plexus. ![]() ![]() But in this coupling the choice is limited: the concerti are not often heard together. The Sibelius alternatives are legion and often very distinguished, from Jascha Heifetz’s 1935 account, a recording which helped establish the work in the repertory, to much later in the century when three women, Ida Haendel, Victoria Mullova and Kyung-Wha Chung, were long-standing top recommendations. If not quite as distinctive as the Nielsen, this is still a fine interpretation. Some others make a bit more of the weirdly whistling harmonics than he does, but his passagework in the coda is impressively despatched. In the adagio di molto, Dalene is poised and evocative, and in the dancing finale his entry is as emphatic as its energico marking implies. They have just bid farewell to Sakari Oramo’s thirteen years at the helm with a Sibelius cycle including this concerto. The orchestral tutti at the Allegro molto is stirring enough in its Kalevala mood, but then the RSPO are quite at home with this composer. His long opening solo is poetic and restrained, and he gives the music its head from the veloce marking onwards. Dalene again meets its demands in both respects. This a large concerto in the classical mould is no less demanding technically and aesthetically than the Nielsen. The Sibelius too is a very good account but perhaps without quite the same sense of identification with the work one feels in the Nielsen, and certainly sees on the 2019 competition film. His leading recommendations were Vilde Frang (Warner, 2011) and Cecilia Zilliacus (dB Productions, 2014), neither coupled with the Sibelius. ![]() Andrew Mellor, in an authoritative piece, researched over twenty versions going back to 1947 for a “Gramophone Collection” on the concerto. If you wish to know more, locate the Gramophone May 2019 issue. There might be a better version of the Nielsen out there, but this surely belongs among the very best. The Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and John Storgårds make very attentive collaborators. Above all, his virtuosity is everywhere apparent but nowhere self-regarding: technique at the service of the music and of Dalene’s vision of it. His lyrical playing is warm both in the tone he draws from his Stradivarius, and in the affection of his phrasing his intonation is sure. ![]() His way with the five cadenza or cadenza-like passages in the concerto is very arresting, in both execution and in the contrast he finds between them. This is not a concerto somehow failing to be “important”, to quote Simpson, but a demanding concertante work with a unique aesthetic, not easy to make as convincing as Dalene does. (Cho-Liang Lin needs 36:01, Maxim Vengerov 36:18, Baiba Skride 37:30, while Nikolaj Znaider, a judge at that 2019 Nielsen competition, has it both ways: 39:23 in the 2014 account on Warner, but just 35:08 on Dacapo in a 2015 live performance.) But there is also the matter of emotional scale, and in that regard Dalene is spot on. The concerto is sometimes referred to as a 35-minute work, so his 39:05 here is at one extreme. This studio recording revisits it with differences of detail but not of broad conception.ĭalene’s account, like the piece itself, is spacious. Swedish violinist Johan Dalene was 18 when he won the Nielsen competition in 2019 with a remarkably mature account of the work it is still available to watch free online. Robert Simpson claimed that, of Nielsen’s three concertos – for violin, flute, and clarinet – “it is significant that the biggest and most imposing of the three, the Violin Concerto, is the least important”.īut “important” is not synonymous with “attractive”, and one always welcomes performances of Nielsen’s appealing piece as good as this one. The Sibelius is long established in the central repertoire. The composers, born in the same year, both played the violin, yet their concertos make quite a contrast. The Nielsen and Sibelius violin concertos make an obvious coupling, and a good one. 7-10 June 2021, Konserthuset, Stockholm, Sweden Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra/John Storgårds Support us financially by purchasing from |
