8/31/2023 0 Comments Hip hop history month november![]() Live Talk from Queens with Ralph McDaniels November is Hip Hop History Month! Join us and QPL Hip Hop Coordinator (and music legend) Ralph McDaniels all month long as we start getting ready for hip hop’s 50th anniversary in 2023, and celebrate hip hop as a global force for culture, civil rights, and, of course, music! Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Salt-N-Pepa, Mary J Blige, 50 Cent, Notorious B.I.G., Nicki Minaj, and Cardi B.A picture from our 2017-2019 Queens Hip Hop Pioneers Photo Exhibit, curated by MFidel Photography. Located just steps away the New York City’s most exciting attractions, the hotel will feature an incredible collection of memorabilia from some of the greatest musicians who have been inspired by New York City, including hip-hop pioneer Scorpio of Additionally, the new flagship Hard Rock Hotel New York is slated to open in April 2022. We also look forward to seeking more opportunities to focus on engaging with hip-hopĪrtists across our entire ecosystem – whether it be new merchandise collections, live performances in our venues, activations in our hotels, or potential future partnerships, we will continue to collaborate with hip-hop artists from past to present. For Hard Rock’s next 50 years, we hope to continue collecting and expanding the hip- hop memorabilia items in our collection. As Hard Rock continues to evolve, just as music does, it’s unmistakable how hip-hop has impacted our brand over the years. Where do you see Hard Rock meshing with rap/hip hop as the music genre continues to grow?Īt Hard Rock, we believe music is a language that brings the world closer together. In addition, Hard Rock’s collection features several mementos from artists who paved the way for the genre, as well as crossover artists who have been inspired by hip-hop. About 70 different items from hip-hop artists are currently displayed across the nation with pieces from Ice-T, JAY-Z, Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes, LL Cool J, MC Hammer, Snoop Dogg, Tone Loc, Eminem, and more. ![]() Contemporary items include DJ Khaled’s Miami jersey from Hard Rock’s commercial shoot for Super Bowl LIV and Megan Thee Stallion’s bathing suit from the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 2021 during which she made history as the first rapper to land the cover. So, I guess the only thing that surprises me is the lasting impact that hip hop continues to have over so many decades – not just as it relates to the music that we listen to – but its influence over pop culture across such a wide range cultures and countries, as well.Ĭan you discuss some hip-hop memorabilia Hard Rock currently has on display around the country?įrom Run-D.M.C.’s classic Adidas sneakers, to several outfits that Nicki Minaj wore during The Pinkprint Tour, a handwritten poem by Tupac Shakur, and a pair of blue jean overalls worn by Busta Rhymes on his “Fire” music video. What was really happening, though – whether we’re talking about hip hop, The Stones, or Elvis – was a paradigm shift that (with the benefit of hindsight) undeniably shaped trends in music, fashion, and pop culture on a global scale. Our parents’ parents might have thought The Rolling Stones were a fad, and their parents may have thought Elvis was for delinquents. But the reality is that music is ever evolving, with each phase building on the last, creating new foundations for future sounds. It’s rare when cultural shifts are celebrated, and more natural for these moments in time to be resisted by those reluctant to embrace change.

NetBeans IDE greatly extends capabilities of the commandline tool. NetBeans can support the tool with the user project configuration, so the Java Shell is set up to work with project classes and libraries. NetBeans provides integrated console-like UI for the Java Shell, leveraing NetBeans editor capabilites. Java Shell is a tool in JDK9 defined in JEP 222 to introduce REPL (read-eval-print-loop) capabilities to Java. HTML5 tags are supported in NetBeans editor and HTML5 JavaDoc can be generated using projects Properties | Documenting customizer.

This allows to develop several JDK9 modules in one NetBeans project (Ant based). New project called Java Modular project was added. The picture below shows the structure of JavaSE projects with JUnit tests in same module and with own module: java requires application module and JUnit. In this case main module-info.java exports the tested packages and tests module-info. in its own JUnit JDK9 module (own module-info.java).In this case no changes to develop and execute tests are needed in main module-info.java ![]() ![]() Java SE Project allows to develop and store JUnit tests: It is possible to show module dependencies graph for each module-info.java. The mix of projects with module-info.java or without it is allowed. This picture shows dependency of 1 project on 2 other projects.

Any mineral salts remaining are reduced or removed as required.Ĥ) The purified, concentrated gelatin solution is sterilized, and then extruded through perforated disks to form "noodles". This process is repeated until all of the gelatin has been extracted.ģ) Extracted gelatin is isolated using high-performance separators. The material extracted in any one stage is subjected to re-extraction with water at a higher temperature. ![]() Following this step, excess acid and salts are rinsed out with water.Ģ) Gelatin is then extracted from the raw materials using a warm water continuous or a multi-stage extraction system. Washed hide undergoes an acid treatment to render the collagen soluble in warm water, a prerequisite for the subsequent extraction process. Once an animal is determined to be kosher, its hide is sent off for processing into gelatin using the steps described.ġ) Fitgelatins manufactures kosher gelatin using the "Type A" or "acid" process. If any issues are found, the animal is deemed non-kosher and cannot be used for gelatin production. This ensures that the animal dies as quickly and humanely as possible.Īfter slaughter, a trained inspector (mashgiach) checks the animal's internal organs for any signs of disease or abnormalities. This process, called shechita, involves a highly skilled shochet (ritual slaughterer) using a very sharp knife to quickly and painlessly sever the animal's jugular vein and carotid artery. We are gonna learn how Gelatin is made from the your local farm cow to your kitchen table! To produce kosher gelatin from bovine hides, the animal must be slaughtered according to Jewish dietary laws. The scales used for Marine Gelatin are sourced from Tilapia fish from the Pacific Ocean. The hides used for Kosher bovine gelatin are sourced from cows from the open fields of South America. Kosher gelatin is made from the collagen found in animal hides, or from fish scales. 8/31/2023 0 Comments Tidal wave shot![]() So we usually made it pretty tight springs, but then the interconnectivity gets overwhelmed by gravity and turbulence.” Source: Behance page of Trevor Tuttle, a model maker at ILM on Snake Eyes.Īlthough they were not seen, Snake Eyes’ tidal wave shots are part of a long line of ILM’s digital effects sequences involving tsunamis, storms and water sims. “When you make a soft body, you also make springs out of the polygon edges, and then how tight those edges are determines how much things stretch or not. “We did this technique, which was basically to turn the model into a soft body,” explained Zargarpour. However, the pier and theme park were 3D models. Several splash elements were filmed in miniature for the tidal wave sequence, with some ultimately finding their way into parts of the ending that was preserved. ![]() “But if you wanted a rim light from that light’s point of view,” continues Zargarpour, “you could make the particles like giant ice cream cones, and huge tennis balls, and then that would just hit this hard edge and give you a rim.” Otherwise, it’s going to look like chunky ice cream.” That made the light go through and scatter. So, the trick for making them look like water was to take the keylight, or backlight, and make the particles look really small from that light’s point of view. “The key was in pRender, the particle-rendering we had for Twister, where you could cheat the size of the particle from the light POV, from each light. “It was all in how you light it,” he noted. Zargarpour says one thing he particularly remembers discovering on the Snake Eyes tidal wave project was how to make particles not look like dirt and dust, but instead like water. And it would start to get a little more shape out of them.” Source: Behance page of Trevor Tuttle, a model maker at ILM on Snake Eyes. Then we’d try to refine the particles that are left behind, add a little spline to the mid-particles on the bleeding edge. “We messed with the fractals to get a particular look,” added Zargarpour, “just to get the semblance of particles that still look a bit like clouds for the foam. I went, ‘Oh, my God, what you can do with this thing?!’ And that became the foundation of a lot of stuff I would do afterwards, in terms of particles work.” He had this fractal shader, and he did a little bit of water, and all of a sudden my eyes just popped. “I’d also learned about fractals from Jimmy Mitchell on The Mask. A mix of Softimage and Wavefront’s Dynamation was used to craft the computer graphics. Zargarpour told vfxblog that the Snake Eyes tidal wave was modelled and animated to break in a controlling way, and then shaded with a fractal shader. Source: Behance page of Trevor Tuttle, a model maker at ILM on Snake Eyes.Īmong the Snake Eyes artists at ILM was Habib Zargarpour, who would later go on to be an associate visual effects supervisor for The Perfect Storm where, of course, incredibly elaborate CG fluid sims would be further realised. “So we came up with something else, which I never particularly thought worked as well as the original idea.”įor the tidal wave, ILM – under visual effects supervisor Eric Brevig and associate visual effects supervisor Ed Hirsh – capitalised on earlier work the studio had pioneered in particles for Twister to conceptualise the breaking wave, it smashing into the pier and the immense amount of foam produced. ![]() “And nobody thought it worked,” De Palma added. “My concept was, when you’re dealing with such corruption, you need God to come down and blow it all away,” said De Palma in the documentary, referring to the murder conspiracy in Snake Eyes led by Gary Sinise’s character. Source: Behance page of Trevor Tuttle, a model maker at ILM on Snake Eyes. ILM was behind the wave simulation and several miniature elements, but the scene was cut after test screening audiences reacted adversely.īrian De Palma spoke briefly about this original Snake Eyes ending in the 2015 Noah Baumbach and Jake Paltrow documentary, De Palma, which also showed a large portion of the deleted scene. This was for the original ending, which involved a hurricane and a tidal wave hitting the Atlantic City boardwalk and killing the film’s villain, played Gary Sinise. But, in fact, the movie nearly did feature a key CG water sequence in what was still the early days of fluid sims. This week is the 20th anniversary of Brian De Palma’s Snake Eyes, a film perhaps not thought of for any major VFX moments. 8/31/2023 0 Comments Alc898 driver![]() The current driver is dated as and the version is 6. My soundcard is a Realtek ALC888S HD audio model. The problem is, I have absolutely no idea where to find it this time, as it took me days to last time. I have always been happy with my speakers and their sound, but after hearing what an equalizer customized to fit my own ear could do, I can I never go back to the basic driver. I entered a game and then heard the sound, and shrieked, I had forgot to get the driver update. Everything is running smooth as always (Freaking Love HP computers). One of the things I could not back up was this updated driver. Instead of doing each individual program one by one, I backed up EVERYTHING onto a terabyte USB HDD. ![]() I have never had any problems with my computer, only that I had gathered so much on it over the years I decided to clean it. With this said, I turned it off, and tried my old style of equalizer I had selected months back, and it was so fake sounded I could not stand it, as my custom toned equalizer was much, much better. Had amazing bass and amazing treble that sounded entirely lifelike. After playing with it daily over the course of several months, I had absolutely perfected it. ![]() In this new edition, instead of having a list of equalizer styles to choice from, I had a full blown equalizer I could customly tone and adjust. Given the way I am with tinkering around on computers, I kept going, and eventually found a new driver for my soundcard. In this process, due to not knowing where to go, I had picked up a single trojan, which my AV had easily cleared without issue.Īlso I had messed up my sound in fact and had to default back to the original. One of the things I had done, one day I got a wild hair and decided to update all of my drivers. I had installed a powerful graphics card to the computer, equipped surround sound and the whole lot.
