![]() And the octatonic – for jazz musicians, the diminished – scale is often in the background of, and occasionally present in some of his later music. Scriabin’s use of interlocking tritones, so tonality-threatening to early 20th century ears, are water off a jobbing jazz musician’s back. The so-called ‘Mystic Chord’ turns out to be just a specific voicing of the 7#11 chord. But it also prefigures a great deal of jazz harmonic theory, and Scriabin’s harmonic system reads more easily when viewed in that light. Altered dominant harmonies, rightly regarded as Scriabin’s pioneering achievement.And, going back to geography, ‘I Got Rhythm’, regarded as a template for this type of song, was written by the child of then recently-arrived Russian immigrants, George Gershwin.* Scriabin makes use the AABA form, with each section 8 bars long, so beloved of Tin Pan Alley and Broadway songwriters.And in a recent interview the Cuban pianist genius Chucho Valdes cites Rachmaninov’s music as one that naturally fits with, and can be seen as part of the heritage of, the vast and cosmopolitan tapestry that is Cuban music.īut now to brass tacks: let me enumerate some of the specific technical considerations that unite these two worlds. Meanwhile the estimable anthology ‘Jazz in Print 1856-1929’ by Karl Koenig gives one example after another of how Afro-American musicians looked to the Russian people, and their folksong in particular, as a model for culture-building that inspired many of those involved the ragtime revolution. And it was not just Berlin but many of the other originators of the Great American Songbook who hailed from Russia or Russian immigrants. That is, if we accept that part of where music comes from is the land, the air, the birdsong, the language, then, by dint of geography, the music of Irving Berlin and Scriabin might be loosely connected by these things at least. Whilst the life of the wretched five year-old Israel Berlin fleeing with his family for the USA from some far-flung burning village in Russia could hardly be more different experience from Scriabin’s rarefied aristocratic Moscow upbringing, perhaps we can ascribe something to a sense of place. 1’ lent itself to an interpretation calling upon early tango and the jazz style of Errol Garner, and then noticing that a project that would include ragtime could bear such a fortuitous (for us) name – has become a more serious study of the connections between Scriabin’s music and popular music of the time. With this current project, what started as whimsy – noticing that the ‘Prelude for Left Hand Op. With a far less distinctive personal soundworld I’ve even tried this myself with a Scriabin-inspired composition, ‘Snakes and Ladders’ which the trio recorded on the CD ‘Angel Feet’ (Guild Records ZZCD9819). This represents a harmonious meeting between the totally distinctive soundworlds of Scriabin and Chick Corea. 2 by the jazz giant Chick Corea Clearly this is an area that has continued to interest him, and in a recently posted video, Corea workshops his ideas about another of Scriabin’s preludes in front of an audience. I first came across Scriabin’s music in the 1980s through a beautiful interpretation of his A minor Prelude Op. ![]() ![]() We are of course celebrating the life of Alexander Scriabin on the centenary of his death, at the same time trying to locate his music in the context of popular music in and around 1915. Musicians who write about playing music can easily get themselves into hot water, but in this case I’m happy to bathe in the opportunity to gather my thoughts about the latest project I’ve embarked on with my jazz trio, entitled ‘Alexander Scriabin’s Ragtime Band’.

![]() Despite variations in the ages at which most men and women from different population groups divorced, the age patterns were similar. ![]() The white population group had a three-year difference, while the coloured and Indian/Asian population groups had a two-year difference. The difference in median ages at the time of divorce between males and females was the greatest in the black African population group, with a five-year difference. When analyzed by population group, black African males had the highest median age at divorce (46 years), followed by whites (45 years), coloureds (43 years), and Indian/Asians (42 years). The median age at the time of divorce in 2021 was 45 years for males and 41 years for females, indicating that, on average, divorced males were four years older than divorced females. Less than 2% of both men and women were getting divorced for at least the third time. In terms of number of times married, over 80% of divorce cases for both men and women were from first-time marriages, with only 10.5% of men and 8.3% of women getting divorced for the second time. On the other hand, the majority of divorces from the black African (67.2%) and Indian/Asian (47.2%) population groups were from marriages solemnized by civil rites. The data presented in 2021 indicates that most divorce cases from the white population group (67.1%) and coloured population group (65.5%) were from marriages solemnized by religious rites. It should be noted, however, that this may be due in part to these provinces having larger populations.įinally, the data shows that 47.9% of divorces in 2021 were from marriages that were solemnized by civil rites, while 43.3% were from marriages that were solemnized by religious rites. The provinces with the highest number of granted divorces were Gauteng (4,859), Western Cape (3,833), KwaZulu-Natal (2,851), and Eastern Cape (2,138), which together accounted for 75.1% of all divorces granted in 2021. The data also provides information on the province and sex of the plaintiff. Among black African divorcees, about 6.5% of divorces were initiated by both partners. In interracial couples, 57.3% of divorces were filed by wives. The proportion of women plaintiffs varied across different population groups, with 61.2% of plaintiffs being women for the coloured population group, 60.5% for the Indian/Asian population group, and 58.1% for the white population group. The sex of the plaintiff was unspecified in 1,164 cases (6.4%). Specifically, 9,981 wives (54.8%) filed for divorce compared to 6,142 husbands (33.7%), and in 921 cases (5.1%), both parties initiated the divorce. The majority of both male and female divorcees were employed in professional, semi-professional, and technical occupations, with 14.9% (2,707) and 16.0% (2,906), respectively.Īccording to the 2021 data, more women than men initiated divorce proceedings. In addition, 22.1% of husbands and 28.5% of wives were not economically active or unemployed at the time of divorce. It was observed that a substantial proportion of husbands (26.2%) and wives (27.8%) did not specify their occupation. Moreover, the data provides information on the occupation of husbands and wives at the time of divorce. The black African population had a rate of 19 divorces per 100,000 estimated resident population. The white population group had the highest rate at 78 divorces per 100,000 estimated resident population, followed by coloured and Indian/Asian population groups with 61 and 57 per 100,000, respectively. The data also shows crude divorce rates by population groups. ![]() The population group for 799 couples was unspecified. Out of the 18,208 divorces granted in 2021, 50.4% (9,175) were from the black African population group, followed by white with 20.1% (3,652), coloured with 17.6% (3,202), Indian/Asian with 4.8% (881), and mixed population groups with 2.7% (499). Black African couples had the highest number of divorces in 2021, and this trend has remained consistent for the past decade (2012 to 2021). The South African divorce data is categorized by both population group and the year of divorce. The crude divorce rate in 2021 was observed to be 30 divorces per 100,000 estimated resident population. Notably, 143 divorces were granted for same-sex couples in 2021. The total number of divorces has shown an increasing trend from 2012 to 2017, followed by a decreasing trend from 2018 to 2020. This number reflects an increase of 2,111 (13.1%) divorces compared to the 16,097 cases processed in 2020. ![]() The 2021 statistical release on divorces in SA is based on 18,208 completed divorce forms received and processed by Stats SA, reporting divorce data for the year 2021.

I haven’t used it for many years but it seems to stay in your head. We printed a sheet that went in their personal folder when they started but to be fair after a week everyone knew it.

I have heard of “n” for Knickers on my travels, and that is the reason why we use the Phonetic Alphabet! Some of our clients get creative with it – the HP postcode could become Harry Potter for instance. We find customers hear C instead of S for Sierra, so S for Sugar tends to be the go-to.

Fortunately, the game’s turn-based combat doesn’t require lightning reflexes and high-speed action, so you can still get by with an M1 Mac if you need to. However, we had to drop the resolution to just 1600×900 on our M1 iMac in order to get a playable 25fps, so an M1 Pro or higher might be better. The developers says that the game will run on an Intel Mac with a quad-core CPU and an AMD graphics card, or on most Macs with M1 or M2 processors. The 3D graphics really bring the game to life as you and your companions wade into combat, but the spectacular visuals do need a fairly fast Mac in order to run properly. So, along with other survivors from the crashed ship, you set out to try to find a cure and then quickly find yourself embroiled in a mysterious war between the Mindflayers and an assortment of enemy races – who won’t be fully revealed until the game’s launch in the summer. The ship is attacked by dragons, but you’re able to escape – only to find that a Mindflayer larva has been implanted inside your brain. Rather than the powerful, god-like being that you became in Baldur’s Gate II, the new game lets you start from scratch with an entirely new character, chosen from the traditional D&D selection of races and classes – humans, elves, dwarves, wizards, warriors and rogues – and you then awake to find yourself prisoner on a flying ship controlled by Mindflayers (a familiar villain from D&D lore). It’s not a true sequel as the story and the main characters are all new – set more than 100 years after BG2 – although it is still set in the famous Baldur’s Gate region from the popular Dungeons & Dragons table-top games (and – spoiler alert – some familiar faces do make a welcome reappearance). It’s actually been available in ‘early access’ on Steam since 2020, but the game finally has a firm release date for August 2023 so you can now dive in and test drive the early chapters of the game to prepare yourself for the arrival of the full game in just a few months time. However, the forthcoming Baldur’s Gate 3 brings the series well and truly up to date with slick 3D graphics and a vast adventure that looks set to match the epic scale of its predecessors. The original Baldur’s Gate games were classics of the RPG genre when the series was launched almost 25 years ago, but their 2D graphics haven’t aged well, despite an HD update in 2012. ![]() It’s a shame, though, that the game’s multiplayer mode only allows you to play with other Mac users, as this means that – without being able to play against PC users – you’ll have a fairly limited choice of online opponents. The main single-player campaign should keep you busy for quite a while, and as well as creating custom battles to hone your skills you can also customize the main campaign, adjusting the troops, resources and money that are available to make the game more challenging. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t run on older Macs that have Intel processors, but it ran quite smoothly on an iMac with a basic M1 processor when set to 1920×1080 resolution (and using the new gaming mode in macOS Sonoma). Pharoah might not have the otherworldly spectacle of the Warhammer games, but it still looks great, with spectacular vistas as the rival armies charge across the desert dunes. If you’re new to the game then there are several tutorials available that introduce the basics of battle, as well as more advanced tactics, such as siege warfare, and learning how to use the land and weather to your advantage. ![]() Each faction has its own leader, with their own individual strengths and abilities, such as the reckless young warrior Ramesses (who has a tendency to “put the chariot before the horses”), and the cunning Tausret, who uses diplomacy and finance to pull the levers of power. There are eight factions spread across these three lands, all competing to take the throne of Egypt and become the next Pharoah (with additional factions available to purchase as DLC on Steam). This time it’s ancient Egypt for Total War: Pharaoh, set in the Eastern Mediterranean during the Bronze Age, and covering the lands of Egypt itself, as well as neighboring Canaan and the Hittite Empire. After a fairly epic detour into the fantasy worlds of Warhammer, the Total War series is back on its home turf once more, returning to the more traditional historical settings that the games have explored in the past. ![]() ![]() ![]() Quantitative diagnosis of defective color vision. , Unilateral color deficiency, congenital and acquired.

We also want to highlight some of the new intersections you'll come across on your travels through the Rhine Region. Like previous areas we've reworked, this entire region has been rebuilt from the ground up, which includes the road network. We hope that you will enjoy the range of new and reworked depots you will find in this region. You may even spot the addition of the well-known airport SkyTrain when you visit. Also new to the region is the addition of Germany's 4th busiest airport, located in Düsseldorf, which you will be able to deliver to and from. You'll find a variety of industries from car factories to rail depots, scrapyards and river ports. To achieve this, cities such as Cologne now has six new depots for players to deliver to and from, a big change from the existing two! The team behind the Germany Rework wanted to reflect the importance of this area by boosting the in-game economy. Encompassing major cities such as Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Duisburg, the region is characterized by its rich history and dynamic urban network along the banks of the Rhine River. The Rhine-Ruhr region in Germany is often known as the industrial heartland of the country. ![]() Today we are happy to share with you some more insights into the work being undertaken by our Germany Rework team!

I guess it makes sense that they would be hard to come by, because if an old board is still fit for purpose (to be used as an actual scaffold board or for DIY) ie not cracked or bowed, then as a builder or scaffolder you'd just keep using them, wouldn't you? Anyway, Cheshire Scaffolding came through - I requested used boards that weren't damaged and they delivered a load to our hallway for a total cost of about £200.

The API client maintains a history of API calls so you can go back to the requests you use often. It supports HTTP as well as our newest UIs for GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket. In place of the Scratch Pad, we are excited to launch a brand-new lightweight API client that is designed for single users who just want to make quick API calls through the Postman UI. ![]() Starting May 15, 2023, Scratch Pad mode will no longer be available in the latest version of the Postman app for new downloads. With our recently introduced capabilities-like public workspaces and universal search, Postman Live Collections (March 15), Postman Flows (March 22), and now Postbot and soon-to-be-released autosave-we’ve realized that it is now time to announce the end for offline capabilities built with the Scratch Pad mode. Building these new clients and allowing for a full-lifecycle workflow through collections in two separate architectures was increasingly just not feasible. In some cases, with feature requests like autosaving requests, the technical implications are even bigger.Īs we added support for new protocols like GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSockets, this problem became harder. However, maintaining two separate architectures-one with the Scratch Pad and the other with workspaces-for the same set of features has meant that we spend 2x-4x the amount of time in developing or improving the product. So far, we have continued to maintain offline collections through the Scratch Pad and collections through cloud-powered workspaces.

So, last month, we launched a simplified baseline workspace experience in response to feedback we heard from a section of our users who just want a simple API client.

Postman is also evolving to keep pace with these trends, and we’re continuously working to power the next generation of capabilities for our products. More recently, generative AI is rapidly becoming the next evolutionary leap in the interaction between computing and humans. As a result, the flexibility and elasticity of SaaS software with low-maintenance cost is the preferred way for businesses to buy applications.

So this chain wants you to start loving thighs © 2024 NYP Holdings, Inc.There's a chicken wing shortage. The national labor shortage has also hampered meat processors’ abilities to meet demand. That prompted other chains to seek to compete, including burger joints like McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s.Įxecutives at Tyson Foods, one of the world’s largest producers of poultry and other meats, have also blamed the shortage of chicken on underperforming roosters that aren’t producing as many chicks as expected. Popeyes prices are comparable to that of other fried chicken restaurants such as Church’s Chicken and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Popeyes sparked the so-called chicken sandwich wars in 2019 with a $3.99 sandwich that was so popular, it sold out at many restaurants. Popeyes, also known as Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen, is a fast food restaurant chain originally from Louisiana that mainly sells fried chicken. Fast food executives blame the meat-processing slowdown last year caused by pandemic safety measures and the surge in demand for fried chicken sandwiches for the shortage. It also shows how companies are trying to protect their supply of chicken during the Great Poultry Crisis of 2021 that’s seen prices soaring and restaurants pull items off their menus.Įxecutives from various fast-food joints have explained that a meat-processing slowdown last year caused by pandemic safety measures along with a surge in demand for recently debuted fried chicken sandwiches are largely behind the shortage. The strategy is a major split from the norms of the industry, which prefers to keep inventory lean in normal times. “We work really closely with our suppliers,” he added. “Demand is very high right now, and consumer spending is surging” as the country emerges from the pandemic, Siddiqui told the news site.
