![]() At present it has sold in excess of 200,000 copies. By January, Metheny's first self-produced album, American Garage, released late last fall, had reached Number 1 on Billboard's jazz chart. Last summer, after recording PMG's second joint effort, Metheny and Mays went on tour as part of Joni Mitchell's all-star backup band, which included such jazz luminaries as Mike Brecker and Jaco Pastorius (a Metheny colleague from Pat's first solo LP, Bright Size Life). A highly personal statement, the album nonetheless hit high on the jazz charts and has sold over 120,000 copies to date. The band's combination of jazz chops, rock energy, and pop- and folk-flavored melodies apparently struck a chord, with jazz and non-jazz consumers alike the LP has sold more than 150,000 units thus far.Ī year later, Metheny's smile was simultaneously adorning the covers of Downbeat and Musician, Player & Listener magazines - sort of the artist's equivalent of appearing on the covers of Time and Newsweek in the same month - shortly before the release of Pat's first entirely solo effort, New Chatauqua. When The Pat Metheny Group was released in 1978 - featuring Lyle Mays piano, Mark Egan on bass, and Dan Gottlieb on drums - Metheny's cult following began to reach massive proportions. Three years ago, when Pat Metheny formed his own quartet, his name was know mostly to jazz guitarists, through his work with vibraphonist Gary Burton and his two albums under his own name on Manfred Eicher's ECM label. Dan Forte interviews the quartet, and Richard Vandivier analyzes Metheny's unique guitar style, on page 35. The Pat Metheny Group have taken jazz back to street level with their chart-topping LP, American Garage.

But a panel on the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals vacated that stay on Tuesday, writing that Ms. A federal judge in Indiana issued a stay on Monday night so that the court could conduct a hearing to determine her competency. ![]() Her lawyers had claimed that she was incompetent for execution, citing mental illness, neurological impairment and complex trauma. Montgomery found some fleeting reprieve in the courts. But after two of her lawyers contracted the coronavirus, a judge delayed it, and the Justice Department rescheduled. Montgomery’s execution was originally scheduled for last month. The last women to be executed by the federal government were Bonnie Brown Heady for kidnapping and murder and Ethel Rosenberg for espionage, both in 1953. Montgomery’s execution, there are now no women on federal death row. According to a quarterly report from the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, just 2 percent of those inmates on death row are women. Women are scarce on death row in the United States. Her mother forced her to “pay the bills” through sexual acts with various repairmen, and her stepfather regularly subjected her to sexual abuse, a clinical psychologist said in a court declaration filed by her defense team. Montgomery’s lawyers cited the repeated physical and sexual abuse she endured as a child in pleas for leniency, arguing that President Trump would affirm the experiences of abuse survivors by commuting her sentence to life imprisonment. “I think, you know, it’s not right always to say an eye for an eye, but I think the community’s hurt enough that it would definitely help with some closure.” “I get, you know, people like, ‘Death penalty’s wrong,’ but at what point do you excuse something like this?” he asked, several days before Ms. Stinnett’s, recalled biking to the local gas station with her, describing how in high school she had a “huge crush” on the man who would later become her husband. Richard Chaney, 38, a childhood friend and classmate of Ms. Montgomery’s execution was a just conclusion to a crime that had haunted the northwest Missouri community for years. The baby girl lived and turned 16 last month on the anniversary of her mother’s death. Montgomery strangled her, used a knife to cut her abdomen and extracted the fetus, then claimed the child as her own.

Her case, unusual in part because so few women are sentenced to death, ignited debate over the role of offenders’ past trauma in criminal sentencing.ĭespite a series of court orders that briefly blocked her execution, she was pronounced dead at 1:31 a.m. Montgomery’s supporters argued that a history of trauma and sexual abuse that marred her life contributed to the circumstances that led to the crime. Montgomery, 52, was sentenced to death for murdering a pregnant woman in 2004 and abducting the unborn child, whom she claimed as her own.

Installed this on Win10 64bit with Spotify free preinstalled, It spawns Spotify on its own launch. Regular open-captioned broadcasts began on PBS's The French Chef in 1972. Remote control handsets for TVs, DVDs, and similar devices in most European markets often use "SUB" or "SUBTITLE" on the button used to control the display of subtitles/captions. In the UK, modern digital television services have subtitles for the majority of programs, so it is no longer necessary to highlight which have subtitling/captioning and which do not. In New Zealand, broadcasters superimpose an ear logo with a line through it that represents subtitles for the hard of hearing, even though they are currently referred to as captions. The term subtitle has been replaced with caption in a number of markets-such as Australia and New Zealand-that purchase large amounts of imported US material, with much of that video having had the US CC logo already superimposed over the start of it. ![]() Their presence is referenced on screen by notation which says "Subtitles", or previously "Subtitles 888" or just "888" (the latter two are in reference to the conventional videotext channel for captions), which is why the term subtitle is also used to refer to the Ceefax-based videotext encoding that is used with PAL-compatible video. The equivalent of "captioning" is usually referred to as "subtitles for the hard of hearing". The United Kingdom, Ireland, and most other countries do not distinguish between subtitles and closed captions and use "subtitles" as the general term. Also, the term closed caption has come to be used to also refer to the North American EIA-608 encoding that is used with NTSC-compatible video. Captions aim to describe to the deaf and hard of hearing all significant audio content-spoken dialogue and non-speech information such as the identity of speakers and, occasionally, their manner of speaking-along with any significant music or sound effects using words or symbols. ![]() Subtitles assume the viewer can hear but cannot understand the language or accent, or the speech is not entirely clear, so they transcribe only dialogue and some on-screen text. In the United States and Canada, the terms "subtitles" and "captions" have different meanings. On the other hand, "open", "burned-in", "baked on", "hard-coded", or simply "hard" captions are visible to all viewers as they are embedded in the video. The term "closed" (versus "open") indicates that the captions are not visible until activated by the viewer, usually via the remote control or menu option. 6.11 Non-linear video editing systems and closed captioning.5.3 Digital television standard captioning improvements.5.1 Incompatibility issues with digital TV.5 Digital television interoperability issues.2.6 Legislative development in Australia.2.4 Legislative development in the U.S.2.2 Technical development of closed captioning.HTML5 defines subtitles as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue when sound is available but not understood" by the viewer (for example, dialogue in a foreign language) and captions as a "transcription or translation of the dialogue, sound effects, relevant musical cues, and other relevant audio information when sound is unavailable or not clearly audible" (for example, when audio is muted or the viewer is deaf or hard of hearing). Other uses have included providing a textual alternative language translation of a presentation's primary audio language that is usually burned-in (or "open") to the video and unselectable. Both are typically used as a transcription of the audio portion of a program as it occurs (either verbatim or in edited form), sometimes including descriptions of non-speech elements. A similar symbol depicting an ear (slashed or not) is used on television in several other countries, including France and Spain.Ĭlosed captioning ( CC) and subtitling are both processes of displaying text on a television, video screen, or other visual display to provide additional or interpretive information. The symbol was used on road signs to identify TTY access. The "Slashed ear" symbol is the International Symbol for Deafness used by TVNZ and other New Zealand broadcasters, as well as on VHS tapes released by Alliance Atlantis. Taken together, we identified a panel of potentially candidate male development transcripts during early chicken embryogenesis some might be regulated by sex hormones. The interaction effects of sex by formestane treatment were observed in 15 candidate male development transcripts (P < 0.05). Treatment with an aromatase inhibitor formestane at E4 affected the expression levels at E7 of the coatomer protein complex (subunit beta 1), solute carrier family 35 member F1, LOC427316 and EY505812 transcripts across both sexes (P < 0.05), similar to what was observed for the doublesex and mab-3 related transcription factor 1 gene. Whole mount and frozen cross-section in situ hybridization, as well as Western blotting analysis further corroborated that riboflavin kinase ( RFK ), WD repeat domain 36 ( WDR36), and EY505808 transcripts RFK and WDR36 protein products were predominantly expressed in E7 male gonads. At 72 wk of age, 20 and 4 transcripts were expressed at higher levels in the testes and brains of male than in the ovaries and brains of female chickens (P < 0.05), respectively. Twelve of these transcripts mapped to the Z chromosome. Of 35 selected transcripts, quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction validated that the expression levels of 25 transcripts were higher in male E3 whole embryos than in females (P < 0.05). A total of 89 and 127 candidate male development transcripts that represented 83 known and 119 unknown non-redundant sequences, respectively, were characterized in an embryonic day 3 (E3 Hamburger and Hamilton Stage 20: HH20) male-subtract-female complementary DNA library. ![]() Early transcripts related to male development in chicken embryos and their expression profiles were examined.

The flash drive should also be durable enough to toss into a bag without breaking. Size and build quality: Flash drives should easily fit into a USB port without worry of breaking the drive or the port.But our USB-C pick is still reasonably fast and doesn’t require an additional dongle to use with modern MacBooks or other notebooks that primarily feature USB-C ports. If speed is your number-one concern, you can use a faster USB-A drive with a USB-C–to–USB-A adapter. Connection type: Our pick for this guide is a USB-A drive that is a good deal faster than our USB-C pick.As in previous years and previous versions of this guide, read speeds were uniformly fast on all of our picks. We’re still waiting for a USB flash drive that supports USB 3.1 Gen 2. File transfer speeds with our picks won’t match many SSDs, but our picks should perform as well or better than any platter-based hard drive. ![]() Drive speed: We’ve made write speeds an even bigger consideration this time around-a twofold increase in transfer speed can lead to a practical difference of 15 to 30 minutes of saved time with large folders of variable file sizes.This amount gives most users plenty of room to store big and small files without having to constantly delete them. Based on this research, we settled on a sweet spot of 128 GB of storage, which as of publication offered the best intersection of price, performance, and reliability based on user feedback and reviews at popular retailers. Capacity: The price of flash storage in thumb drives has dropped quite a bit since we last updated this guide, and our testing and research has revealed that the performance of many models varies depending on the amount of storage included.Spending more gets more than 128 GB of storage, hardware encryption, or somewhat more durable cases, but more expensive drives don’t really add anything to everyday uses. Price: Most people shouldn’t pay more than around $45 for a USB flash drive. ![]() ![]() Step out and measure the height from that point to the floor.

To be fair, he does a fatntastic job of hitting all the low-notes Peter Steele original committed to recording, but his more mid-ranged baritone timbre is just not as husky and colossal as the boisterous bass of the original. Barring a denser drum sound standing in the place of the programmed ones on the former and a meatier guitar tone that mercifully replaces the grating scooped-mids sound Dimebag sported on the latter, the primary point of contrast from the original versions of these songs is the straight up character of Garrett’s vocals. The first stop down memory lane is the cynical world of the 1990s, featuring a highly faithful rendition of one of Type O Negative’s most morose yet quirkily humorous odes “Everything Dies” and a similarly by the numbers recap of Pantera’s depressing ballad “Hollow”. ![]() However, when getting past the leading nods to doom metal orthodoxy, what emerges is an album that really gets into the weeds and takes the curious step of showcasing just how the sub-genre took on its current character. On the other hand, the dreary blues-rock driven mannerisms and swampy-trudge of “Mass Formation Psychosis” definitely points to a more 70s-tinged psychedelic sound that should sit well with fans of Trouble and The Obsessed, and Garrett plays the role of front man and Iommi-inspired axe-man effectively. ![]() Granted, Garrett’s vocal approach is far less operatic than that of Marcolin’s and has that sort of gritty, working class edge that frequently sees this band compared to more rustic doom acts like Warning and Pentagram. The lofty and old school metallic vibes of “Sorcerer’s Fate” in all of its early 80s Black Sabbath-influenced glory could find themselves among the track-listings of any Candlemass album during their 80s heyday with Messiah Marcolin at the helm, replete with soaring melodic guitar lines and a sorrowful, keyboard-driven atmosphere to the complement the thick and punchy stomp of the guitars, bass and drums. ![]() The entry of this outfit’s latest EP dubbed “20 Centuries Gone” proves no less expansive in scope or versatile in how it presents itself.Īt first glance, this release follows a similar formula to that of last’s years concise EP of original material “Forge Your Future,” with two well-crafted anthems of dank yet melodic agony leading the pack. Having reduced itself to a de facto two-person outfit in a studio capacity under the leadership of vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Nate Garrett, one might assume that the direction of the band has taken on a correspondingly narrower stylistic scope given the smaller number of members with a potentially dissenting opinion, but in actuality the combination of sounds and influences at play since 2019’s “Divided By Darkness” has become increasingly nuanced and intricate. Originally entering the metal scene in the mid-2010s as a traditionally-tinged doom metal project after the mold of modern purveyors with a dash of stoner sensibilities such as Khemmis and Pallbearer, Austin Texas’ own Spirit Adrift has since made some interesting inroads into the more epic side of the coin normally reserved for the likes of Candlemass and Cirith Ungol. |
