To ensure that older browsers can properly parse the attributes, use a comma to separate attributes. Adding the value initial-scale=1 instructs browsers to establish a 1:1 relationship between CSS pixels and device-independent pixels regardless of device orientation, and allows the page to take advantage of the full landscape width. Some browsers keep the page's width constant when rotating to landscape mode, and zoom rather than reflow to fill the screen. An example of how the page loads in a device with the viewport meta tag. An example of how the page loads in a device without the viewport meta tag. This allows the page to reflow content to match different screen sizes, whether rendered on a small mobile phone or a large desktop monitor. A device (or density) independent pixel being a representation of a single pixel, which may on a high density screen consist of many physical pixels. Using the meta viewport value width=device-width instructs the page to match the screen's width in device-independent pixels. This means that font sizes may appear inconsistent to users, who may have to double-tap or pinch-to-zoom in order to see and interact with the content. To attempt to provide the best experience, mobile browsers render the page at a desktop screen width (usually about 980px, though this varies across devices), and then try to make the content look better by increasing font sizes and scaling the content to fit the screen. A meta viewport tag gives the browser instructions on how to control the page's dimensions and scaling. Pages optimized for a variety of devices must include a meta viewport tag in the head of the document. Modern responsive design considers all of these things to optimize the experience for everyone. For example some of your visitors will be using a touchscreen. In addition, devices have different features with which we interact with them. ![]() ![]() Screen sizes are always changing, so it's important that your site can adapt to any screen size, today or in the future. In this video the design moves from a narrow to a wide viewport, responding to the available screen real estate.Ī multitude of different screen sizes exist across phones, "phablets," tablets, desktops, game consoles, TVs, and even wearables. ![]() For example, on a phone users would see content shown in a single column view a tablet might show the same content in two columns. The layout changes based on the size and capabilities of the device. Responsive web design, originally defined by Ethan Marcotte in A List Apart, responds to the needs of the users and the devices they're using. The use of mobile devices to surf the web continues to grow at an astronomical pace, and these devices are often constrained by display size and require a different approach to how content is laid out on the screen.

Give The Gift of Lightwright Touch This Holiday Season ![]() Such intervals are called perfect because they are the first intervals derived from the overtone series (see chapter one). Perfect intervals are the intervals of fourths, fifths, and octaves. In this case, growing musical complexity seems to parallel growing architectural complexity.Ĭomposers wrote polyphony so that the cadences, or ends of musical phrases and sections, resolved to simultaneously sounding perfect intervals. Polyphonic liturgical music, originally called organum, emerged in Paris around the late twelfth and thirteenth centuries. Originally, these polyphonic compositions featured two musical lines at the same time eventually, third and fourth lines were added. With the advent of musical notation that could indicate polyphony, composers began writing polyphonic compositions for worship, initially intended for select parts of the Liturgy to be sung by the most trained and accomplished of the priests or monks leading the mass. Initial embellishments such as the addition of a musical drone to a monophonic chant were probably improvised during the Middle Ages. The Emergence of Polyphonic Music for the Medieval Church Strophe 4: Venter enim tuus gaudium havuit… “Your womb held joy…” Strophe 3: O pulsherrima et dulcissima… “O lovely and tender one…” Strophe 2: Nam hec superna infusio in te fuit… “The essences of heaven flooded into you… Repetition of the melody to new words sung by all with monophonic texture (the drone continues) Strophe 1 continues: Gloriosa et intacta puella… “Noble, glorious, and whole woman…” Since the drone is improvised, this is still monophony.

Performances of chant music today often add embellishments such as occasionally having a fiddle or small organ play the drone instead of being vocally incorporated.

Therefore, a crossover of technology has had to be integrated into RVs to ensure the electrical systems can cope with the changing demands. Over time, the RV industry has identified the need for both power methods to create versatile RV set-ups to satisfy all potential situations an RV owner may encounter. Often they are used in conjunction with solar panels, which offer continual charging capabilities to guarantee long-term power. The off-grip power source is most often stored by onboard leisure batteries. However, as the industry has adapted, RV enthusiasts now demand power whenever they need it, creating a need for ‘ off-grid’ power supplies. Typically, power has come from mains hook-up from the RV site, which feeds 110-120V power into an RV to operate all of the onboard electronics. Traditionally RVs possess one form of power. Power converters work a little bit like an inverter but for your batteries. This article will produce the most effective troubleshooting scenarios and the best means of fixing the most common problems. Their essential and heavy workload means that the RV can often be rendered useless until it is fixed. However, these complex apparatuses have a tendency to fail from time to time. ![]() They are the essential component that allows for the combination of mains power hook-up while facilitating onboard battery charging simultaneously. Power converters are critical pieces of equipment for a high functioning RV. I have tried several, and IMHO they are nowhere near where I want them to be. I second moving to Reaper with a cheap interface, but here is my two cents on free amp sims- they are free for a reason! It can also be endlessly "evaluated" for free. So you get it in the ballpark, then tweak away or completely change it whilst it's playing.Īs others have said Reaper is plenty good enough and it's cheap. Million more things too.įinally, you can record yourself, then change the settings whilst it plays/loops to tailor it. So you could have one guitar tone for the looped track and setup another track for your lead with a new setup from your plugin. Going this route allows for not only recording (and looping if that is what you want) but also all the benefits of a DAW. ![]() This then loads up your plugin inside the DAW. So what you do is you load up a DAW of choice, do your audio routing/setup in the DAW, make a track for it, then load the plugin as an FX on that track. However, they operate as virtual instrument plugins (VSTs) and the standalone app basically just loads the plugin. NeuralDSP and all the others (BIAS, Guitar Rig, Amplitube, etc) are all software guitar processors. However, the options and functionality is endless. You might be able to midi control the looping, but that's beyond me. Using a DAW, you'd record yourself, maybe trim it, loop it, play it and jam over the top and it could be a faff. But short of changing volume on your guitar to soften the rhythm, its just sending two signals merged together to the same setup in NeuralDSP. ![]() Personally I'd consider a real looper if you are going to use it just for practice frequently and off-the-cuff rhythms/backings. Also you should check out r/ampsims, or maybe post this question there, those guys are really helpful. So it all depends what's important to you. For instance, NeuralDSP does distortion and overdrive better than pretty much anyone, especially super heavy distortion, but Amplitube has really nice Fender cleans and can do medium-distortion well. To give a better answer, it'd be helpful to know what you want to use it to play. And if you're using it in a DAW, you can often just use the effects in the DAW if something you want is missing from the ampsim itself. I ended up getting the full version of Amplitube 5, plus about 5 different Neural DSPs, and even though Amplitube has the most variety, I keep coming back to the Neural DSPs because they just sound so much better. ![]() Like you can literally get about $1000 worth of plugins from them right now for 150. ![]() You can get everything included in the $300 full version of Amplitube for 150 right now, plus several other plugins. If you were gonna spend the 110 to get BIAS FX, just spend the extra 40 to get the Amplitube deal that's going on now. People will tell you to get Bias FX 2 because its cheap, I tried the demo and I honestly think it was the least realistic-sounding and the hardest to mix properly even Guitar Rig 6 sounded better in mixes. But I'd encourage you to get the demos of different Neural DSPs and try them the demos last for 14 days. What you should do is try using the demo version of Amplitube 5, because in terms of free plugins, the demo version of that has the most options of any of the unlimited demos in other words, if you want to use something free, it gives you the most amps and effects of all the ones that aren't time limited. I tried demo versions of Amplitube 5, Guitar Rig 6, Bias FX2, Blue Cat Axiom, Neural DSP's Wong, Plini, & Abasi, S-Gear, Kuassa's Matchlock, at least 10 different free amp sims, and probably a few more I'm forgetting.

Azure functions are easier to write and deploy.Azure functions are lightweight and serverless.Here are some of the reasons why you should use azure functions. For example, some azure functions are sending emails, starting back up, order processing, task scheduling such as database cleanup, sending notifications, messages, and IoT data processing. ![]() The azure functions will directly connect to your data source, get your customers' emails, and send them an email on a scheduled date and time.Īzure functions are best suited for smaller apps with events that can work independently of other websites. Instead of building a website in ASP.NET and employing and hosting it on IIS just for one feature, you can write an azure function, put your email login in the function, and deploy it on the Azure cloud. Let's say you have to send a birthday email to your customers. When demand for execution increases, more resources are allocated automatically to the service, and when requests fall, all extra resources and application instances drop off automatically. This article explains what an azure function is, how to create an azure function, and how to debug, test, and deploy azure functions.Īzure functions are scalable. In addition, azure functions can be written in multiple languages such as C#, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python. # find the path to the desktop folder: $desktop = :: GetFolderPath ( 'Desktop' ) # specify the path to the folder you want to monitor: $Path = $desktop # specify which files you want to monitor $FileFilter = '*' # specify whether you want to monitor subfolders as well: $IncludeSubfolders = $true # specify the file or folder properties you want to monitor: $AttributeFilter = :: FileName, :: LastWrite # specify the type of changes you want to monitor: $ChangeTypes = :: Created, :: Deleted # specify the maximum time (in milliseconds) you want to wait for changes: $Timeout = 1000 # define a function that gets called for every change: function Invoke-SomeAction # subscribe your event handler to all event types that are # important to you.Azure Functions is a serverless concept of cloud-native design that allows a piece of code to be deployed and executed without needing server infrastructure, web server, or any configurations. Whenever a change is detected, Invoke-SomeAction is called. This is straight-forward: the script below monitors your desktop and all of its subfolders for new files and for deletion of files. However, responding to events is not trivial in a single-threaded environment like PowerShell. This way, you cannot miss change events because the FileSystemWatcher is constantly monitoring. Instead, whenever a change occurs, an event is fired, and your script can respond to the events. ![]() Advanced Mode: In asynchronous mode, the FileSystemWatcher does not block PowerShell.This approachis very simple to implement however there is a chance to miss change events when they occur in rapid succession. This blocks PowerShell until either the change occurs or a timeout is reached. Simple Mode: In synchronous mode, you ask the FileSystemWatcher to wait for a single change.You can invoke the FileSystemWatcher in two ways: ![]() It can monitor a single folder or include all subfolders, and there is a variety of filters. The FileSystemWatcher object can monitor files or folders and notify PowerShell when changes occur. This way, you can create “drop” folders and respond to log file changes. ![]() With a FileSystemWatcher, you can monitor folders for file changes and respond immediately when changes are detected. ![]() This one might have the nicest design out of all of these. You can’t go wrong with the Clock app straight from Google. The app is free to download, but you will need to make an in-app purchase to unlock some of the pro features.

The widget supports 4×1, 4×2, and 2×2 sizes on your home screen. It is easily one of the most versatile clock apps available out there, although some might find some of the styles are outdated, but that’s a subjective opinion. There are a total of nine different themes, with both analog and digital clocks supported for your home screen. This particular app offers a different take on clock widgets and comes with a slightly different set of features on board. Make sure you have a very good look at the app from the Play Store. The developers update the app frequently with a handful of new features. It’s a free app, but you don’t have to worry about ads. The app is compatible with devices running Android 4.1 or above. You won’t have much to complain about here given the simplicity it offers. It’s a pretty basic app and does what it’s supposed to. Failing to do this will keep the clock from updating the time. It is important to add Clock Widget to the list of ignored apps if you have a Task Manager installed on your device. The widget is linked to the default clock app, and will launch the alarms menu with a single tap. You can choose custom designed clock styles for your home screen, font size, pick the colors and do a whole lot more. If a clock widget is what you want, then that’s what you will get here. This is a simplistic app that gives you exactly what you want without any of the unnecessary clutter. You can unlock some features with an in-app purchase.

Best Clock Widgets For Android Smartphones 1. Most of these apps are free to download, but you will be able to unlock some special features with the help of in-app purchases. We’re going to talk about five clock widgets meant for Android devices today, which will no doubt enhance your experience on mobile devices. Unfortunately, there are too many clock widget apps available on the Play Store, making it quite difficult to get the best one meant for your liking. However, customizing your Android clock widget is pretty easy and can be done in a couple of simple steps thanks to third party apps available on the Google Play Store. This can be quite frustrating given that Android devices can be extensively customized, which is the beauty of the platform, really. Most clock widgets offered by manufacturers are pretty generic and don’t offer much in terms of customizations. Be it on the lock screen or on the home screen, any Android device will give you a glimpse of the clock widget or time date and time zone on any screen unless you’re in an app. That’s because no matter what, it’s always there. Something as fundamental as a clock might not seem important to a lot of mobile users.
