![]() Michael co-owns internet agency Restruct Web, where he develops websites & apps (web & iPhone/Android). Manytools is a project by Michael van Schaik, a webdeveloper from Rotterdam (NL). Manytools is a collection of tools to automate the repetitive jobs involved in webdevelopment (or any other job). (Starting October 2017, Chrome (version 62) will show a “NOT SECURE” warning when users enter text in a form on an HTTP page, and for all HTTP pages in Incognito mode.) Today we finally got around to upgrading the site to run on HTTPS. Many multi language websites will detect the native language of the web browser to automatically set the primary language for users. Happy to inform that Manytools is now fully Chrome-62-ready, thanks Google! A secure connection had been due for a very long time. Our apologies for the inconvenience it has caused. This seemed like a nice way to support this website, but turned out to be far too much of a burden to our visitors. Thank you for your feedback on our (brief) test with browser based bitcoin mining. SeptemExit Coinhive (in-browser bitcoin mining) In case you notice any problems or irregularities I'd be happy if you notify me so I can check on them. This option is only available on Windows. Click Display Google Chrome in this language. You need to find and install a language pack a special type of add-on from. If the language isn't listed, add it by clicking Add languages. Select the ‘Settings’ and choose ‘Languages’ option. You may/should notice some speed improvements. Under 'Preferred languages,' next to the language you'd like to use, click More. When the browser window opens, click the ‘Settings and more’ button (visible three dots) in the upper-right corner. So, ManyTools has now been moved to a shiny new hosting cluster. JPhasing out hosting server after (almost) 10 yearsĪfter having been running steadily on the previous server for almost ten(!) years, it became time to retire that machine. These intermittent errors were a byproduct of the recent server move and have now been fixed. The past few weeks you may have seen a server error or two on the steganography tool. AugSteganography tool fixed (server errors) English is the 'Windows Display Language'. Go to Settings > Time & language > Region & language > Click on English language > click Options and check if language is download if not click on Download: English language pack is downloaded. In case there's a reason for these attacks, do let me know. Windows key + Space and check if English is selected: Yes, English is selected. You can also do this using the arrow keys on your desktop keyboard. To do so, click on Voice options, then drag the slider to select your desired reading speed on the scale. So if you take it down it will simply be unavailable for a lot of legitimate users. By default, Microsoft Edges Read Aloud speed is set to normal, but you can speed this up or slow it down. HTML5 is designed for backwards compatibility, and it will hardly break your site (take for instance - non-supporting browsers show an ordinary text box, Opera lets you select an URL from history/bookmarks).I have no resources nor interest to fight back. Almost no web technology is completely supported by any browser no bugs, quirks or issues. AugTo the person(s) attacking this site: please stop

![]() I’m using a very light jazz funk-strumming pattern with my right hand here. We’ve got 7, nothing, 7-6-7, and we’ve got your E minor 9, which I would call the George Benson chord – he uses it all the time – nothing,7-5-7-7-7, then we’ve got an A11 here, 5, nothing, 5-4-3. The main one we’ll all be looking at is the E minor 9, but the 4-chord progression is D major 9, which is nothing, 5-4-6-5 middle 4 strings, then we’ve got a B minor 9, something a little bit different here. Today, we’ve got 4 chords in the style of George Benson. I’m very, very pleased to be playing this today, I feel super slinky. As you probably noticed, I’d been lucky enough to borrow my dad’s Ibanez GB10, which is the George Benson signature model. Let’s get to a few of his licks just after this.Īlright then. Today we’re looking at the amazing George Benson. ![]() Hey YouTube, Simon here once again for Fundamental Changes. Make sure you log on and subscribe to our new YouTube Channel, dedicated to bringing you the finest free guitar lessons. Make sure you apply strict alternate picking and start slowly with a metronome.įor classic George Benson style guitar licks, I recommend buying the album “ The Essential Collection.” My favourite track on that album being “Affirmation.” Subscribe on Youtube The final run is purely chromatic and resolves back to G minor. The lick starts off using triads, adding in some slides and chromatic elements. G minor 7 and Ab major 7 form the backing to this sophisticated jazz line. George Benson Guitar Example 3 – Chromatic Jazz Line This is a very creative tool for writing new sounding ideas. Often Benson would sing the same line he was playing. The combination of single notes, and double stops and the vocal quality all add to the sound. George Benson Guitar Example 2 – Instrumental MelodiesĮxample two demonstrates George Benson’s use of instrumental melodies. Try using all of these chords with the gentle funky strumming pattern and move them into different keys for new jazzy sounding progressions. To me he is totally synonymous with the minor ninth chord as demonstrated here. George Benson’s knowledge of jazz chords and combining them in his songs is fantastic. George Benson Guitar Example 1 – Jazz Chords Today we look at a sample chord progression using some beautiful chord extensions, a melodic singable motif in D major and a sophisticated chromatic line. His combination of pure jazz, funk and pop made him the ultimate jazz crossover artist. George Benson was unusual for a jazz guitarist, in that he had a fantastic voice to match his amazing guitar-playing skills.

The overall architecture of the two receptors looked similar. The team determined the 3D structure of the octopus chemotactile receptor and compared it with the acetylcholine receptor to examine how it transitioned from its ancestral role in neurotransmission. "They use their arms for 'taste by touch' contact-dependent aquatic exploration of crevices in the sea floor," said senior investigator Nicholas Bellono, associate professor in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology. Squid are ambush predators that strike and capture unsuspecting prey with their eight arms and two long tentacles. Instead of sensing neurotransmitters, however, octopus receptors contain important adaptations to sense relatively insoluble, greasy molecules that stick to surfaces. They discovered that octopus chemotactile receptors evolved from acetylcholine neurotransmitter receptors, the same kind that humans have at our neuromuscular junction. In the first of the papers, the researchers describe how the octopus repurposes ancestral neurotransmitter receptors to sense its external environment. They describe how the animals evolved using a family of chemotactile receptors within their arms and offer a glimpse into how such functional changes likely took place as adaptations to environment over deep evolutionary time. In two separate studies published in Nature, researchers from the Bellono lab at Harvard and Ryan Hibbs' lab at UC San Diego discovered some clues, focusing on how cephalopod nervous systems adapt to sense their marine environments. This post originally posted on Quora, but was deleted by their moderator due to external links (which I thought were visually necessary) hence here we are ).So how did these animals evolve neurologically from the shelled mollusk to a behaviorally sophisticated creature? The other very cool related animal is the cuttlefish. Squids almost seem to have multicolored psychedelic running lighting.Ĭamouflage is the gift of all of the cephalopods. ![]() Squids and Octopus are both gifted with this and both very beautiful in different ways. Try to see them in their environment when you can see how psychedelic their iridescence is. When an animal dies all the epic coloration fades immediately. Both species might not live in the same ocean area, so don’t expect to see both (but it can happen!)īoth animals boast amazing color and camoflague capability. Night dives offer the opportunity to see both animals at their peak. Squid, because they are in the open water, are netted which makes them both more elusive and easier to catch, though the nets are tragically dangerous and destructive to the ocean and everyone who lives in it or enjoys it.Īnother difference is that I’ve seen footage of an octopus eating a shark. We are killing off our octopus, reefs and oceans in this way. It kills the rocks and reef, bleach is poured into the environment and yes I’ll bet that people who eat these animals are eating the bleach (or whatever other chemicals used) too. When I’m diving I can sometimes find the empty plastic bleach containers. The sickening thing is that in order to supply aquariums, sushi and other restaurants, bleach is often injected into the rocks or reef to get the octopus to come out. Sometimes we can see the eyes looking out from behind a rock, but then if they are approached they dart back into their crevice. We might see a part of them, but generally when we approach they disappear. Usually in the day they are deep inside the rocks. I’ve never observed this muppet like intelligence from a squid. Octopus live in rocks, crevices and caves. I have avoided that thrill on purpose, for personal safety. I wish I could tell you I’ve dove with schooling giant squid but I have not. Squid swim in the open water and can school. I have observed octopus with personality, like they are squid’s nerdy honor roll cousins. I’ve never observed a squid with personality. Though I have seen a zillion squid beaching themselves in the Sea of Cortez and the hour of day didn’t seem to matter. ![]() They are phylum Molluska, and while they don’t have shells, they do have a shell-like beak, almost like a parrot.įrom a diving perspective, both are more active at night. The bite also gave me an overall sick reaction for about 24 hours after.īoth have beaks. I thought I was cool and it was cute until the beak broke my skin. I was very young in San Felipe Mexico, handling the octopus and its tentacles attached to my arm. My personal difference is that I’ve been bitten by octopus (my fault, not the animals-Don’t handle wild animals!), but never a squid. These are both amazing alien like animals that are iridescent and awesome to observe in their environment.

For now, here is what I have to show - a few grieving maquettes, made in the early hours alongside crying Fleetwood Mac songs. I’ll probably be quiet for a while as I continue to find comfort in making strange little things for myself. I dropped all personal and professional projects once my Dad passed away, and honestly I’m not in a rush to return to normal life. I’m not really sure what this all means for the future. I’m glad I still have that place to go to. I don’t think I would have survived those strange times without having a place to find calm and peace. I largely credit creative pursuits to the reason I’m still here. In my younger years, my struggles with my mental health were soothed with painting, films, and model making. Art-making can’t heal all wounds, but it’s always been there for me when it counts. Cardboard houses and balsa wood shacks were my early councilors, and here they were again. Late one night I grabbed some scraps of cardboard and began making models like the ones I made as a kid. ![]() As Max Porter put it, “Grief felt fourth-dimensional, abstract, faintly familiar.” And so I’m trying to reorient myself in this new dimension.Ī couple of weeks ago in the depths of this fresh grief and puzzlement, I began making things again, for no one other than myself, and perhaps for Dad. Grief is always strange and hazy to some degree, but this time it also feels oddly recognizable. I’m coping ok, I’m just not sure where I should be anymore. It’s hard to explain, especially during a pandemic, when all usual supports and rituals are interrupted, but I certainly feel lost at what might be next. Suddenly, all perspective changes and the world seems different…is different. Since it all happened, I’ve kind of spun out into a void of confusion. He was a rare gem in this world - a beautiful and genuinely kind soul - a quiet, calm, caring man who supported me at every turn and taught me how to be. It’s been a tough, frightening, and deeply upsetting time (pandemic and all) but I was lucky to have my Dad. He had been ill for a while, and although we had hoped he might make it through, unfortunately, the universe had other plans. There’s no great to say it, but my Dad passed away recently. ![]() This past year has been a tough one, and the internet has been the last place I’ve wanted to be. |
