![]() ![]() This dissertation focuses on five technologies – Winamp, Metadata, Napster, iTunes and Cloud Computing – that were key to rehabilitating the music commodity in its digital environments. metadata, interfaces, digital “packaging”). On computers, music underwent an interface-lift, gradually getting redressed with new features (i.e. album art, compressed sound, packaging, etc.), recordings as digital files were initially decontextualized commodities. Stripped of many of their previous attributes (i.e. As computers became viable sources for the playback of popular music in the 1980s and 1990s, the roots of the digital music commodity took hold. ![]() Specifically, it traces the transition from music on compact discs to music as a digital file on computers/mobile devices and the economic, industrial, aesthetic and cultural consequences this shift has for how we produce, present, and consume music. This dissertation concentrates on the changing form of the music commodity over the last two decades. To where does all this lead us? The proposed abstract will focus on the transfiguration of audio contents, both in terms of journalism, entertainment and advertising, as well as the mutation of the listener in direction of a relation between the one who listens to radio and is also a web user of radio websites, presenting the concept of as a definition for the new broadcasting context in the 21st century. ![]() Radio listening gave way to online navigation and interaction. MP3 players for instance, or devices such as mobile phones are shifting the balance of power away from radio as tastemaker toward consumers' ability to select, hoard and arrange their music. All these platforms represent a whole new scenario for media and forces radio to change the business and communication model, transforming the radio concept we used to know. Online broadcasting, online music services, portable music players, digital receivers, mobile phones and podcasts are different ways to access music and entertainment. ![]()

When I update I always choose "No Action" on the download and again on execution of the download.īecause I am updating an existing install I have never been offered the toolbar nor has there ever been a need to check, or not, anything. If you have excluded it from detection in the past the warning does not appear. So it seems the toolbar is still being offered with CCleaner. I just tried to download CCleaner direct from Piniform and Eset reports an issue. It appears that Piriform is no longer bundling anything with the mainstream download option, the file downloaded and I installed version 5.04 without any indication from ESET that there might be a PUP nor did I have to opt out of anything during the install (which I am used to doing for years now) ![]() That being said, just to let everyone know, while I was writing this reply I tabbed over to, clicked on the green Free Download button on the home page, and then clicked on the green Download button for the free version. hence the use of the word Potentially and the fact the entire setting is optional. ESET is in no way dictating what you should, or should not install on your computer. It's my understanding that ESET's optional setting to detect Potentially Unwanted Programs simply displays a message warning the user that the installation contains a Potentially Unwanted Program. What exactly do you mean by "blocked from installation"? in the very first post the OP states that "since I switch to Eset Internet Security new updates from Piriform for CCleaner have been blocked from installation by the firewall" Wouldn't it be fun and interesting to get some statistics from ESET on this too ? Maybe in a blog post on WLS Edited Apby SweX I remember a blog post by Avira that they made not long ago where they said that they had 22 million PUA detections under one month alone. It doesn't matter if it is, mcafee, google chrome, dropbox, yahoo, open candy, ask, toolbars, they are all unwanted if they come as a "gift" with another software. I have seen that some people don't understand why dropbox that comes with another software is detected, it's quite simple, it's not dropbox that they wanted to install so dropbox is the "unwanted" one in that case. a user download Google Chrome but CCleaner comes with it, in that case CCleaner would be the "unwanted" software. a user download CCleaner that may also come with google chrome, in this case google chrome is the "unwanted" software.Ģ. It doesn't really matter which software that comes with another software or not.ġ. It's npt like Piriform is using Open Candy. If you have Chrome installed already you will never see the alert anyways. ![]() It is detecting the Chrome installer or the Google toolbar installer.

The patricii controlled most of the land in Italy, and the plebs had almost none. Although there was voting, and elections were open to all citizens, the votes were weighted-you could even say ‘rigged’-so that only the votes of the upper class actually counted.Īlthough the plebs fought for, and eventually achieved, political equality with the patricii, they were still much poorer. However, the republic wasn’t a democracy in the sense we know today. As a republic, Rome was ruled by Senatus Populusque Romanus, ‘The Senate and the People of Rome,’ rather than by a single king. ![]() There were two ordines, or social classes, in ancient Rome: the plebs, the lower class and the patricii, the upper class, which dominated the Senate and the political offices of the Roman Republic.Īccording to legend, the Roman Republic was founded in 509 BC, after the last King of Rome was driven out of the city. Image by Jbribeiro1 on Wikimedia Commons, licensed under CC-PD-Mark Ordines ![]() Perhaps it’s time for me to revisit some Caesar this summer (Gardini, an unabashed enthusiast for this writer, would doubtless approve).Caesar is shown the head of Pompey. So thank you, classical Twitter, for the stimulus to reflection. (Quite a threatening posture to adopt in relation to these readers, in other words, and one that fits with the image of a Caesar who was interested in stirring things up in Rome itself).Ĭertainly I’m more interested now in a range of questions about the relationship between political and military authority and literate communication that I hadn’t considered all that clearly before. A character, that is, who might come across as the very opposite of an effete aristocrat, and instead as a down to earth man of the rank and file military. My starting (and strong) assumption here is that the Gallic Wars was not a text intended for a readership of ordinary soldiers: why, in that case, write like one? Well, perhaps to identify oneself as a particular sort of character to one’s actual (well-heeled urban?) readers. The notion (suggested by Llewelyn Morgan) that Caesar’s ‘pragmatic’ style in his writing reflects an attempt to ‘keep it that of a plain soldier’ struck me as a particularly interesting possibility. Reception in France, Nap III, Jullian, Goudineau Gaulish history (epigr, ling, numismatics, La Tene archaeology.Ĥ. Political-cultural history of empire (rhetoric, othering theory slavery)ģ. The thread, started by John Ma (link below), is worth viewing in full:Ģ. A number of classicists aired views on themes and stylistic elements in the Gallic Wars which confirmed (and indeed challenged) my own thinking. That this is indeed the case was nicely brought to light on (of all places) a Twitter thread recently. But what about the chilling nature of some of Caesar’s descriptions (chilling, that is, precisely because of their lack of graphic description or celebration where some such might have been expected)? There is a good deal more to say about his prose style, I felt, than Gardini does say. This is a text I haven’t read much myself since sixth form days, but my memory of its style is good enough: Caesar displays a special knack throughout the text for conveying the brutal suppression of his enemies and the trials faced by his armies with unnerving understatement and precision.įor Gardini, Caesar is, straightforwardly, the ‘matter of fact’ prose stylist par excellence: he is a rationalist, a pragmatist, someone who wants to ‘recreate the world mathematically and geometrically, as if the obscurity and vagueness of our deeper motives had no place here’ (p72-3). ![]() One part of the book I didn’t much warm to was Gardini’s discussion of the prose of Julius Caesar in his Gallic Wars (Caesar’s account of a major stage in the Roman conquest of Gaul). The book has by turns intrigued and frustrated me. Gardini focuses on a range of Latin texts he has encountered and on the nature of his personal responses to them over the course of his education and career. The book is a nice combination of personal reflection and linguistic and literary discussion. My recent bedtime reading has been Nicola Gardini’s fun little book ‘ Long live Latin: the Pleasures of a Useless Language‘. ![]() Unturned map editor tutorial3/11/2023 ![]() Once the parameters are configured you can bake globally which generates the entire terrain and blurs it, or locally to preview it in the area around the camera.Ĭustom materials can be used by creating 8.

This work will be performed in the group of Dr Trembleau. The successful candidate will carry out molecular modelling studies to design inhibitors based on known conserved coronavirus enzymes and study the preparation of selected compounds. The aim of the proposed research is to design and prepare several peptidomimetic inhibitors of key coronavirus enzymes to help to develop effective antiviral drugs against SARS-CoV-2 (for example, see ref 1 and 2). These inequalities and the possible emergence of even more dangerous variants is a cause for great concern, and many pharmaceutical companies have also been trying to develop effective antiviral drugs. Some of the poorest countries have not had access to mass vaccination programmes yet. Over 7 months after the first roll out of vaccinations against SARS-CoV-2, only the richest countries in the world have been able to vaccinate a significant proportion of their population. Effective vaccines against various variants of SARS-CoV-2 (virus causing COVID-19) have rapidly been developed but the production of large quantities of vaccines to protect the world population is challenging and expensive. They can cause mild human illnesses such as the common cold or more serious respiratory diseases as seen in the recent outbreaks of SARS (2002), MERS (2012), and the COVID-19 pandemic (2019).

Miata rf dim33/11/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It now slides forward on an upward angle, so drivers with shorter legs will get a bonus inch or so in height as they move toward the wheel. The seat no longer has a height adjustment, but Mazda solved that problem with a little bit of clever engineering. It actually built the driver’s seat, pedals and steering wheel, and then molded the rest of the car around it. Mazda spent a good bit of time on that last part. We applied sunblock liberally, threw on our sunglasses and stuffed our wallet in the behind-the-seat storage compartment to get the perfect driving position. We took a half day off to get the full Miata experience, and thankfully the weather cooperated with 75 degrees and sun.

That might not be the MX-5’s direct competitor, but it’s darn close in price and character.Īll Mazda roadsters have a double wishbone suspension setup in front and a rigid multilink setup in the rear. That means it feels fast, faster than the old car by a good margin, and maybe even faster than the more-powerful Subaru BRZ. This Miata is lighter than the outgoing NC generation by about 180 pounds, and lighter than the NB by more than a few pounds, too. In our MX-5 Club trim tester, it was mated to a six-speed manual, a unit so good it should be standard equipment in every car, from the Cadillac Escalade to the Tata Nano. The Skyactiv-G 2.0-liter four delivers 155 hp at 6,000 rpm and 148 lb-ft of twist. That’s right, down from the last generation, but weight is down, too, enough to improve the power-to-weight ratio by a few ticks. And, in a time when cars are getting heavier, busier and softer, the MX-5 gets lighter, simpler and more lovable. It’s the legendary Mazda Miata, and it’s all new. It’s springtime, it’s road trips, it’s what every car should feel like behind the wheel.
