Old desk with hidden compartments12/31/2023 ![]() Secrets for gold, stocks, ancestral jewels, silver coin, a lack of will, or a carefully crafted confession of a criminal offense committed years ago, were well served by fiction authors. Which open cloaks, candlesticks, drawers and other compartments to the concealed writing surfaces. The job is always loaded with dark magic like any Apple app. The characteristic feature of the work is the innovative mechanical devices by Roentgen They were also able to market themselves, including much of the European royalty and aristocracy, with a list of customers.Īt the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, more than 60 furniture pieces by father and son are currently on display. Their furnishings are exquisite and decorated with golden inlay and dizzying marquetry. Their carefully built work is an amazing combination of art and engineering. The Roentgens – German decorators in the 18th century – were like the late founder of Apple Computer masters in the development of beautiful objects for households filled with brilliant, functionality and entertainment. This thing has hidden drawers in hidden drawers, all operated by a sophisticated mechanical system: The hidden drawer design comes to its zenith from a desk designed by the Roentgen brothers for King Friedrich William II. ![]() I guess the paranoid engineering CEOs today are still in their modernistic escape bunker with some underground compartments. ![]() Secret compartments such as this have been a common characteristic of furniture in the Victorian era. The documents were a record of John Dee 's interactions with angels. A couple years later Susannah, a widow now, has the courage to take the papers with her. Some time before the couple planned to put paper back into the box, their maid used some half of the paper to make pastry. A huge amount of papers, mysterious writings and signs, were poured out in an olivewood rosary. We heard a rattling inside and investigated a hidden cabinet. ![]() The pair spent twenty years with their hearts before they wanted to switch them one day. Look for a name, post about the item in a local social media group, or even hang a piece of clothing in a visible place to help reunite it with its owners.Īfter all, you never know how meaningful your discovery might be to someone else.Robert and Susannah Jones, a married couple, purchased a large used chest in 1642. LeClerc probably could have used that money, but it was also an effort to track down the owners and ensure the bonds got back into the right hands.įew of us would ever be in that situation, but maybe the next time you find a lost wallet, an article of clothing, or another piece of property, maybe you could do more to find the owner. The story reminds us that there are still plenty of good people in the world, but it also goes to show you that doing the right thing isn’t always easy. “It was even better after hearing the story of the family.” In the end, that integrity helped out a family with an ailing father, but it also made LeClerc feel good for doing the right thing. LeClerc could have chosen to keep the bonds for himself or his family, but he did what he thought was right and tracked down the rightful owners instead. “The gentleman whose family the bonds belong to, he can’t even believe it. “I’ve been doing this for 10 years and every day the stories get stranger and better and (more) fabulous,” she said. In an interview with the Globe, the owner drove that point home. It’s going to change their lives, you know? Completely change their lives. Marg-E Kelley to WTKR The power of antiquesĭiscovering nearly $130,000 inside a $40 desk may be a rare story, but it seems as though heartwarming moments that connect families or invoke memories happen quite often at auction houses. It could not have happened to a nicer guy. The family had been looking for them for years. The family knew about the bonds but hadn’t been able to locate them. As it turns out, a man (who chose to remain anonymous), had auctioned the desk as well as other items in his 94-year-old father’s house as he prepared to sell it.Īccording to Marg-E Kelley, the auction house owner, the man was trying to cover his dad’s medical expenses and the cost of an assisted living facility. Knowing that was his motivation to contact the auction house so they could alert the previous owners. LeClerc was obviously excited by the discovery, but after some self reflection he felt as though the money wasn’t his to keep. If I wasn’t looking for the knob…I never would have found it.

Presonus notion pricing12/30/2023 It is fairly easy to use, though like the rest of the programs on offer it has its own workflow quirks and keyboard shortcuts.įurther, there is inevitably a bit of a learning curve when it comes to understanding how notation works if you are new to this kind of software or just music notation in general. Like the other notion software options we discuss in this article, Sibelius is available for Mac and PC. There have been a number of new and improved (and less expensive) competitors making a splash in the market, but that doesn’t mean Sibelius is a poor choice either. Sibelius is the closest thing to what we might call an industry standard when it comes to professional music notation software, though this may not be the case for much longer. Rounding Up The Best Music Notation Software 1. There is no substitute for a test drive, however, so consider checking out any trial or “lite” versions before you buy anything. Using this article as a guide, you should develop a clearer idea of which music notation software will best suit your specific needs. This article will examine the best music notation software options and compare them based on their features and cost. Many of them interface neatly with a MIDI keyboard, digital audio workstations (DAWs), and virtual studio technology (VST) plugins, allowing music producers from a wide variety of backgrounds to streamline their workflows. That said, many offer some sophisticated features that may or may not justify a heftier price tag. Though there is a wide variety of notation programs available, each product allows users to do essentially the same thing: add notes, rests, accidentals, and other music notation symbols to staves to generate sheet music. ![]() These powerful programs, also known as scorewriters and engraving software, allow musicians to format music notation and prepare sheet music.

Barney and friends cast older12/30/2023 ![]() The Dallas Observer published a cover story in 2018 on the show's 30th anniversary that explored the lives of the people who helped make the show and how it changed their careers. It stands to reason that the stories are bound to get even darker than what we know about Barney's backstory. "They were going to come and find me and they were going to kill me." "They were violent and explicit," West says in the trailer. West says the Barney character stands for "inclusivity and acceptance" and somehow that message became warped by people who used Barney as a punching bag for their untapped and misguided rage. The trailer for the docuseries features commentary from other TV icons from the same era, such as Bill Nye the Science Guy and Today Show host Al Roker, as well as some of the people who worked on Barney and Friends, such as actor Bob West, who provided Barney's voice. ![]() The other side of its status as an icon comes from the steaming piles of hate it produced, especially in the early days of the World Wide Web, prompting sites to create webpages dedicated solely to hating and mutilating the show's friendly purple dinosaur. The show even provided some of the first big breaks for modern megastars Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato. The show's musical narratives, participatory nature and iconic characters quickly became a pop culture phenomenon and a merchandising machine that spewed out books, toys, clothes, live concerts and even movies. Leach, along with Kathy Parker and Dennis DeShazer, launched the kids' public television series in 1992 based on the purple dinosaur Leach created for educational videos for her own children in the late '80s. The two-part series, named after the iconic song Barney would sing at the end of every episode to the delight of small children and the torment of everyone else, will premiere on Wednesday, Oct. Why did a fictional character that promoted love and pure joy bring out the most vile and spiteful tendencies in so many of us?Ī new docuseries on the NBC streaming channel Peacock called I Love You, You Hate Me aims to answer that question. The second group seems to be as widespread as the first, prompting an interesting question that some of us may not want to answer. ![]() If you were older and jaded, you probably remember thinking about putting Barney's disembodied head on a stick. If you were an impressionable, pure-hearted kid during Barney's heyday, you probably remember the giant purple dinosaur as a happy, joyful being of positive energy in a medium steeped with cynicism and shallowness. The 1990s kids' show Barney and Friends created by Dallas mother Sheryl Leach is instantly recognizable, and its mere mention inspires stirring emotions among former viewers. Giant octopus submarine drawing12/30/2023 ![]() ![]() In reality this is a gentle giant that is easily scared and pecks at its food.Īnother giant squid lies peacefully in the Natural History Museum in London, in the Spirit Room, where it is preserved in a huge glass case. It could not have been further from the gnashing, human-destroying creature of myth and literature. Its huge, intelligent eye watched the submarine warily as it delicately picked at the bait with its beak. It serenely glided into view, its body rippled with metallic colours of bronze and silver. They realised previous attempts to film squid had failed because the bright lights and noisy thrusters on submersibles had frightened them away.īy quietening down the engines and using bioluminescence to attract it, they managed to see this most extraordinary animal in its natural habitat. That myth wasn't busted until 2012, when Edith Widder and her colleagues were the first people to successfully film giant squid under water and see first-hand the true character of the monster of the deep. "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and another contemporaneous book, Victor Hugo's Toilers of the Sea, both tried to represent the giant squid as they might have been actual zoological animals, much more taking the squid as a biological creature than a mythical creature." It was a given that the squid was vicious and would readily attack humans given the chance. The monster needed no embellishment - this creature was scary enough, and Verne incorporated as much fact as possible into the story, says Emily Alder from Edinburgh Napier University. Verne's submarine fantasy is a classic story of puny man against a gigantic squid. The giant squid continued to dominate stories of sea monsters with the famous 1870 novel, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne. It's got an eye the size of your head, it's got a jet propulsion system and three hearts that pump blue blood." "It has eight lashing arms and two slashing tentacles growing straight out of its head and it's got serrated suckers that can latch on to the slimiest of prey and it's got a parrot beak that can rip flesh. It would have made a weird sight, "about the most alien thing you can imagine," says Edith Widder, CEO at the Ocean Research and Conservation Association. Sailors would have encountered it at the surface, dying, and probably thrashing about. The huge mollusc takes pride of place as the personification of the terrors of the deep sea. Most likely the Kraken is based on a real creature - the giant squid. And when we can go no further - there lurks the Kraken. The deeper we travel into the ocean, the deeper we delve into our own psyche. In his short 1830 poem The Kraken he wrote: "Below the thunders of the upper deep, / Far far beneath in the abysmal sea, / His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep / The Kraken sleepeth." This terrifying legend occupied the mind and pen of the poet Alfred Lord Tennyson too. If it saw the ship it would pluck the hapless sailors from the boat and drag them to a watery grave. If sailors found a place with many fish, most likely it was the monster that was driving them to the surface. One Norse legend talks of the Kraken, a deep sea creature that was the curse of fishermen. "Monsters say something about human psychology, not the world." "They don't really exist, but they play a huge role in our mindscapes, in our dreams, stories, nightmares, myths and so on," says Matthias Classen, assistant professor of literature and media at Aarhus University in Denmark, who studies monsters in literature. Many academics agree that monsters lurk in the deepest recesses, they prowl through our ancestral minds appearing in the half-light, under the bed - or at the bottom of the sea. ![]() "This inhuman place makes human monsters," wrote Stephen King in his novel The Shining. What is it that draws us to these creatures? Sea monsters are the stuff of legend - lurking not just in the depths of the oceans, but also the darker corners of our minds. Using a for loop in matlab12/30/2023 ![]() The number of iterations to be performed in a for loop is already specified, whereas, in a while loop, the number of iterations is unknown.In this section, we will explain the difference between a for loop and a while loop. The majority of programming examples of loops only use a single statement inside the loop to control the iteration, but if the loop is only run once. ![]() While loops are easier to understand, for loops are generally more helpful in practice. There are two basic types of loops in most programming languages: the while loop and the for loop. Loops allow the programmer to tell a computer to repeat a block of code a particular number of times. Loops are a powerful and fundamental feature of almost any computer programming language. Otherwise, the condition becomes false.īreak % if the factor is found, not primeħ is prime Difference Between For Loop and While Loop The condition becomes true if the results contain a non-zero element or if the result is non-empty. The while loop repeatedly executes the program statement until the expression becomes false. The while loop has the following syntax:. They execute the statement continuously until a condition is met. While loops, nested loops and for loops are three of the most common types of loops. The majority of modern programming languages support loops, though their implementations. Loops are used by programmers to repeat the task using values, add numbers, repeat functions, etc.
