![]() Having been appointed Tide Surveyor at Liverpool, he entered on the duties of the position, in August 1755, and held it nearly nine years. A third voyage had been determined on, but, on the eve of sailing, an apoplectic attack intervened, and the sea was finally abandoned. Newton was a slave-trader, and in his two voyages carried probably not less than 500 Africans into West Indian slavery. Two voyages as master, to Africa and the West Indies, closed, August 1754, his life at sea. After his return, he was married, February 12, 1750, to Miss Catlett, whom he had never ceased to love devotedly since their first meeting seven years before. Newton made another voyage, as mate, to the African coast. His father, before his return, had gone out to Hudson’s Bay, as Governor of York Fort, and soon after died. He reached home in May 1848-no longer an infidel, but a Christian by conviction. It brought him to prayer, and to repentance. On the way home, they were overtaken by a storm that nearly sank the poor unseaworthy craft. Informing his father of his condition, he was released (1748) from his misery, and taken on board a vessel commissioned to call for him. Entering into the service of a slave-dealer, on one of the Plaintain Islands, he suffered incredible hardships, and was reduced to the lowest straits. At Madeira, he was transferred from the Harwich to a vessel bound for Sierra Leone in Africa. He had become an infidel, and now threw off all restraint. In 1745, he deserted the ship at Plymouth, was brought back, degraded, ironed, and flogged. Influence was used, and he was promoted to the quarter-deck as a midshipman. After a short stay on shore, he was impressed and taken as a sailor on board the war-ship Harwich. A voyage to Venice followed and, at the expiration of a year, he returned to England. Mary, the eldest daughter, scarcely fourteen, so charmed the young rover, that the three days were prolonged to three weeks, and the ship sailed without him. George Catlett-relatives of his deceased mother. At the age of fifteen he was placed, with good prospects, at Alicante, Spain, but through his unsteadiness he lost his position.Ī place was offered him in Jamaica, and in December 1742, previous to the sailing of the ship, he made a three days’ visit to Chatham, in Kent, to see the family of Mr. At eleven, his father took him to sea, which he followed for four years. In his ninth year, he was sent to a boarding-school in Essex, and made some progress in Latin. His father married again the following year, but the stepmother took little heed to the boy’s character. Till then, his training was of the most godly sort. ![]() ![]() She died when he was but seven years old.

This report shows that doing so requires steep and sustained reductions in fossil fuel production and use. The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report issued an important call to action: we are running out of time to limit long-term global warming to 1.5☌ or even 2☌. Collectively, although many governments have pledged to lower their emissions and even set net-zero targets, they have not yet made plans to wind down production of the fossil fuels that, once burned, generate most of those emissions. Specifically, this report’s production gap analysis - the first full update since 2019 - finds that the world’s governments still plan to produce more than double the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5☌, and 45% more than consistent with limiting warming to 2☌. Two years on, with the climate crisis clearer and more urgent than ever, governments continue to bet on extracting far more coal, oil, and gas than is consistent with agreed climate limits. This report first introduced and quantified the “production gap” in 2019, finding that the world’s governments planned to produce far more fossil fuels than consistent with their Paris Agreement commitment to limit global warming.
![]() ![]() With Renoise 3.0, you can now also define the time resolution when playing instruments. Input Quantize: When recording notes into Renoise, you have always had the ability to quantize the time to a certain amount of lines. This is great news for people who have a desire to create acoustic instruments with a more convincing, natural character. In Renoise, this is now easily achieved, simply by stacking your layers on top of each other, and then selecting among the playback modes: Random / Round-robin, Cycle or Play all (“Play All” being the default choice, and identical to how sample playback works in the previous version). For example, an single acoustic snare might actually be made from four different recorded hits, each one sounding slightly different from the rest. If your sound-card supports it, the audio signal within each chain can be routed to a different physical output.Ī common feature in many samplers will allow you to define groups of sounds that should be played randomly, or in a sequential order, each time a key is struck at a certain pitch and/or velocity. You can create (any number of) internal effect chains, and assign a sample to any chain - including the ability to route between effect chains, exactly as you would do with tracks in Renoise.Īpart from applying sparkle to the sound, Effect Chains double as a routing matrix. This is why it’s such good news that any sample-based instrument will now be capable of harnessing that power too. Essentially, these effects are great for sound design and can transform any sound into something completely different. The number of built-in effects in Renoise has grown over the years - everything from workhorse effects such as chorus, delays, EQ, etc., to the more specialized “meta devices”, which enable parameter routing between devices, and across tracks. Together, such a collection of fundamental aspects is called a “Modulation Set”, it forms the basic character of a sound and can be loaded and saved as a preset. each voice is processed independently), and can be defined for each of the fundamental instrument aspects: Volume, Pitch, Panning and Cutoff/Resonance. ![]() Modulation chains are processed polyphonically (i.e. For example, the screenshot above displays the volume being controlled by the combination of two LFO devices with a gradual fade-out In the modulation screen, you will always see a real-time preview of the resulting modulation envelope. In fact, there’s a whole section dedicated to working with just modulation envelopes, using an approach similar to how DSP effects are processed: combining basic building blocks together to form more complex envelopes…LFO, ADHSR, Key/Velocity tracker, Fader etc. And each sample can be freely assigned to any (one) modulation set or effect chain, as shown in this illustration:Īs mentioned, you now have the potential to add envelopes on a per-sample basis. It is now possible to define unlimited envelopes (modulations) and create internal effect chains within instruments. This feature-set should make it interesting to sampling-library aficionados and synthesizer freaks alike. You may find it useful to watch a short video on this subject.With Renoise 3.0, a lot of what makes Renoise special in the first place - the tracker interface, the flexible effects and routing - has now been integrated into its built-in sampler. If you export the Doofer, you can share it with other people - though of course if it contains any non-native plugins, then those will need to be installed on their system as well. It will be added to the effect list under the Doofers section, where you can add it to a track just like you would with any other device. Saving a Doofer as a preset will save it and all contained devices as a native effect. Toggling the Edit button off closes the effect chain and prevents further editing.If you need to add or remove macros, use the and buttons.Once you've finished mapping, you may find it useful to minimize some or all of the devices.To rename a macro, just click on its name.Pressing the X at the right will delete the mapping. Clicking on a parameter will add it to the list, where you can specify its Min/Max values and Scaling. To map effect parameters to a macro, click the button to open the mappings list and reveal any mappable parameters – they’re shown here as red, but the highlighted colour may vary according to the current interface Theme. You can keep adding as many effects as you like this way. To begin crafting your own Doofer, add it to the effect chain then drag and drop another effect into it on the right side of the device. Automating a macro will change the values of all assigned parameters. Doofers enable the bundling of complex effect chains within a single device and provide easy access to the most useful parameters through macros. ![]() ![]() ![]() To alter levels, there’s no need to open an app.

Even the chirp of a bird would be an excuse for me to run outside, then have my Amah chase after me all around the courtyard. I hated to be measured, it took so long, and I was not allowed to move. By the time Mother got home with boxes of materials, Grandma's two favorite tailors were already in the sewing room taking the measurements of all the children. As a rule, twice a year the family provided all the domestic servants with new clothes, once in Summer, and the other at Chinese New Year. They would usually buy a new coat for Grandma and a fur hat or a warm winter vest for * Wai Gong, maternal grandfather, as well. My mother and * Yima, Aunties, would go from shop to shop buying different color silks, blue for boys and maroon color for girls, to make * Mian Ao, padded jackets and * Mian Ku, padded pants for my cousins and myself. All the children had to have * Xin Yifu, new clothes, to wear on * Nian Chu Yi, New Year's Day. The two weeks after * La Ba would be the busiest time for the women in the household. I remember how I used to love * La Ba Zhou and if nobody stopped me, I could eat two big bowls of it. * La Ba Zhou is sweet, and has eight nourishing ingredients including glutinous rice, lotus seeds, dried Chinese dates, and different kinds of nuts and dried fruit.

She put a lot of * Suan, garlic, and a little bit of sugar into the dark brown * Zhenjiang vinegar, and they should be ready for consumption on New Year's Eve. The preparation for the New Year, actually began on * La Ba, December eighth on the Lunar calendar, and on that day my grandmother would make several big jars of * La Ba Cu ('Cu' is pronounced 'Tsu'), December 8th vinegar. Weeks, even months, before the New Year, I would start counting the days and impatiently awaited its arrival. But, during * Zhongguo Xin Nian, the Chinese New Year, also called * Yinli Nian, Lunar New Year, we would stay and celebrate for at least a month. During every major festival, like * Duan Wu Jie, Dragon Boat Festival, or * Zhong Qiu Jie, Moon Festival, my parents and I would go over to Grandma's house for a short stay.

Regardless in which part of the world the Chinese people live, they always have a big celebration during the Lunar New Year. The year 2000 in the western calendar was the Year of the Dragon, 4698th year in the lunar calendar. The twelve animals are: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Serpent, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Boar. (The only other ethnic holiday as popular is Cinco de Mayo!) The United States Postal Service now issues stamps every year commemorating the new Lunar year, with Chinese calligraphy giving the year's name, and an appropriate animal symbol.Įvery twelve years in the Chinese calerdar is a cycle, and each year is represented by an animal symbol. In San Francisco, the schools even have off, so many students- Asian and non Asian- love to take part. In the United States, even very assimilated Asian Americans still enjoy celebrating the great holiday of Lunar New Year.
