Andi blown away12/25/2022 ![]() ![]() Andi Kovel and Justin Parker, Esque Studio co-founders and designers, began Esque as an homage to the heritage and tradition of glassblowing. Until that auspicious day arrives, Portlanders can make appointments to watch Kovel and Parker from a distance through Esque’s website, and experience a calmer taste of Blown Away live.Vetri is thrilled to announce our representation of Portland-based Esque Studio. If you are lucky enough, you’ll snag a seat at one of Esque’s wild dinner parties where such chefs as Naomi Pomeroy have been known to cook out of glory holes while Kovel and Parker blow glass between courses, and a local DJ completes the over-the-top atmosphere. Kovel anticipates the day when COVID-19 no longer rules the art scene (and every other scene, for that matter), so Portlanders can return to visiting Esque en masse and up-close, because they have big plans. “Oh yeah, we are not going anywhere,” she says. 22, and Kovel assures Portlanders they will find her back in Esque Studio. The second season of Blown Away drops on Netflix Jan. A long-ago convert to the craft and a whiz in classic, Italian, Swedish, and Czech styles-to name a few- and a past-life mentee of season one winner Deborah Czeresko, Kovel is no neophyte to technique, something she hopes she proved while on the show. “It was hard not to be intimidated at first, and that’s something I kind of battled with the whole time,” Kovel says. Taking a break from Portland (it’s nothing personal), Kovel took to the Blown Away hot room, and found herself galvanized by the nine other internationally established gaffers (professional glassblowers). We thought we could be the people that put the bedrocks up for what the art community and craft community looked like in Portland.” “Everyone is so open, and everyone is so creative, but it’s really undefined. “I always thought of Portland as the ‘land of opportunity,’” Kovel says. But “we wanted to have our own little world that we created,” she says, and Portland was plumbed for that, with a “small but awesome” glassblowing community. Seattle, a longtime epicenter for glassblowing and host to Pilchuck Glass School, where glass artisans like Kovel pilgrimage yearly for a salon-style convergence, may have seemed like the obvious choice for their relocation. In a fit of quasi-spontaneity, Kovel and Parker packed up, hightailed it from their “Italian mafia landlord,” and drove west. “We thought, ‘Why are we making their work? We should be making our own,’” Kovel says. Fine artists like Kiki Smith contracted with them to create custom pieces, but the two were growing tired of hustling for other artists. While hustling their way up the New York art scene, Kovel and Parker made names for themselves. That’s why in 2001, Kovel and business partner Justin Parker ditched Brooklyn for Portland. “If you’re not doing something to add to the history of it, then you’re just doing craft.” “ about being curious about the material and in awe of the magic and being less married to the techniques of the past,” she explains. ![]() ![]() ![]() Kovel’s style is provocative and avant-garde, intertwining a spare style she calls “ punk-lux” with functional installation. “That’s part of glassblowing it’s inherently performance-based.” “There’s fire, yelling, and it’s kind of chaotic, but it’s fun.” The atmosphere in the hot room is equal parts competitive and theatrical, she says. “It’s like a war zone in there,” Kovel explains of the show’s production. Now the co-owner of an elite, high-end glassblowing studio, Kovel says she applied to Blown Away because she was ready for “more.” That was in the ’90s Kovel has established herself as a professional glass artisan since then. While teaching art classes at the Museum of Modern Art and working on her master’s at Parsons, Kovel took a glassblowing course for kicks. A former Brooklynite trained in fine art and sculpture, she entered the niche world of glassblowing almost by accident. “I just knew they’re going to like my vibe,” she says on a Zoom call from a Chicago hotel room, amid flight transfer mishaps for Netflix-sanctioned travel. Kovel has been glassblowing for 20 years, and when she applied to compete on season two, she knew she’d get the gig.

M4p to m4a converter mac12/25/2022 ![]() ![]() It never missed a single song-conversion, where the competition is not as perfect. Did we enjoy working with M4P to MP3 ? Well, there is no question about its performance and lack of converting problems. Step 5: Now write “ reboot” to restart your Mac computer. This turns off the part of SIP that iTunes Converter needs to run, and OS X complains that it is an unsupported configuration. Step 4: In the window that opens, type “csrutil enable –without kext” and press return. Step 3: When the macOS Utilities menu appears, left-click the “Utilities” and then click the “Terminal”. You can leave the keys when you see Apple logo. Step 2: Turn it on but hold down the “Command + R” keys on the keyboard as soon as you hear the startup chime. Please note that, your machine may be less secure if you do. You can follow the next guide to know how to turn SIP off. In order to convert in 16x speed, MacOS 10.13.x users need to turn SIP off. The converting SPEED from the Preferences mentions 1 to 16, but from MacOS 10.13 and >, versions will not allow for higher speeds than 1.Īs you know that when System Integrity Protection is active, and MacOS 10.13 has introduced new security measures, M4P to MP3 Converter can only convert audio files with 1X conversion speed on Mac 10.13.x. Alongside I tried programs like Sidify Apple Music and the latter seems to have some difficulties converting some tracks, whereas ‘M4P to MP3’ never missed a track !!Ĭonverting time was overall the same compared to 2 other utilities, so no dealbreaker here. The overall Output settings and folder are nicely presented.Īll in all I absolutely loved working with M4P to MP3 Converter. The status column shows realtime converting status. The interface does however provide all information one might need and even more. Its a bit Windows like and being not a big fan of Windows, I truly love the mostly modern looks of Mac apps. The visual aspect is just something I focus on, next to allround performance. One small critic from me as reviewer are the outdated icons used on the top bar. The presented interface is easy and provides all necessary information for the user. So, we’ve covered the technical side of M4P to MP3 Converter and now move on to the use and performance of this utility. This is as stated earlier due to the used Mac OS system SIP. ![]() To output the highest audio quality, the program now only supports converting M4P at 1X speed under macOS 10.13 High Sierra and above. Of course you only need to perform these steps if you ever decide to change the converter for something else. Only now you will be able to loose the Audiojingle driver. To perform a real uninstall you need to perform these steps:ĭelete that folder and file along with it and reboot (as well as the app itself I suggest using CleanMyMac or AppDelete) your Mac. Well, it installs itself in your Audio Preferences, and you need to be aware of this! As it is impossible to ‘delete’ or ‘uninstall’ this virtual driver with all known Uninstaller’s. The program uses and installs ‘Audiojingle’ a virtual audio driver. The program needs this driver to record iTunes audio tracks in the background. You might be in for a little surprise as M4P toMP3 Converter is I think the only converter-program needing a separate/additional tool to do the job. Apple’s iTunes uses this protection in a similar way. Depending on the copyright requirements, Hollywood grade DRM protection is not always needed and sometimes it’s enough to provide basic protection through token based secure authentication or simple AES encryption of the video without sophisticated license exchange and policy management. Usually content owners and producers, like all the major Hollywood Studios and TV Stations, force content distributors to use specific DRM systems to protect each piece of content. Initially iTunes have NO DRM codec, but when you download an Apple Music track for offline listening, you get a DRM-protected version. This is where converters come to use.ĭigital Rights Management (DRM) systems provide you with the ability to control how people can consume your content. ![]() MP4 to MP3 Converter is your ‘one trick pony’, to safely convert your iTunes codecs into a desired codec. Want to remove DRM from iTunes M4P, M4B, M4A, M4V, protected AAC, Audible AA and AAX files? Well, look no further as this utility will be your best friend from now on. Read on to see why and how to change the High Sierra 10.13 System Integrity Protection (SIP). M4P to MP3 Converter is able to do 16 speed conversions on lower Mac OS systems. To output the highest audio quality, the program now only supports converting M4P at 1X speed under macOS Big Sur. Mac OS X 10.8 or above system. Fully support macOS Big Sur 11.1 Apple iTunes 10 or later. ![]()

2 suit spider solitaire card game12/25/2022 ![]() ![]() Try not to use other options, such as dealing cards from Stock or undoing the move.If you can not create cards of the same suit, consider making mixed suit cards.Even if it means building a column of mixed suited cards, try to make the cards face up. ![]() Try to construct cards of the same suit whenever you can.Cards that are no longer usable are discarded in the rubbish bin. Keep your work stacks orderly and use them to piece together sequences. Divide columns into two categories: work stacks and garbage stacks.Use the undo button to go back and try another column.Try to get as many vacant columns as possible and use them as temporary storage for moving cards from other columns.If you don't win the first time you play this game, don't get discouraged. The mechanics are simple but difficult to play because it demands far more strategy and concentration than normal. ![]() As a result, sorting the cards by color as much as possible before starting the game is a good idea. However, The Foundation only receives columns after arranging following the same color and suit. For example, a card Queen of Hearts can be placed on a card King of Diamonds. So, before you deal, be sure you've filled in all the gaps.Īfter grasping all these terms, let's enjoy the exciting game! You can move cards to the column of other cards that are one point higher in value, regardless of color. This is only possible if each column has at least one card. When you can no longer move any cards, you must deal from the Stock of cards to take new cards. ![]() Before the cards are dealt, each column must have at least one card. When you touch on this Stock, each column will receive a new card. This section contains the 50 cards that haven't been dealt with yet. They are placed in ten columns, and each column's top cards are always dealt face up.Īll 104 cards are sorted by color and stacked in eight piles from King to Ace in the Foundation. There are 54 cards in a total of 104 cards. Tableau is the main area where the matches take place. However, can you master all terms in this game? Follow the information below to grasp all rules of Spider Solitaire 2 Suit: You can see some terms such as Tableau and Foundation above. You don't win until you've cleared all of Tableau's cards. Once you've finished a sequence, it'll be immediately added to the Foundation, and you may move on to the next one. For example, you need to arrange all cards of diamond in the required order before removing them. Note that you need to arrange cards following the same suit in one deck. Your task is to arrange all of the cards in the Tableau in descending order and move them to the Foundation. This game is a perfect combination of entertainment games and IQ games because you have to create and use your own strategies to complete the game's goal. Welcome to the world of cards, where you can experience challenges to improve your skills and abilities in playing cards. You must arrange two card decks to create the descending order for each suit.

Otixo san francisco12/24/2022 ![]() In classic project management, the project manager asks the developers for time estimations and decides how long each task should take. And makes some of the most difficult decisions in project management to be fun. One of the nice things about Scrum is that it tries to be fun. Scrum is an agile methodology, which basically means that instead of rigid rules and requirements – the planning and development is done in small chunks (sprints). In software development, and I’m a software developer right now, there are many methodologies, but the one that I can really relate to is Scrum. The most appealing part for me is actually wisdom of small, professional teams. In this lecture we talked about wisdom of crowds. When mindless crowds follow a smart leader, very bed things happen. ![]() When many people organize and decide to do something good – very good things happen. Where should we go from here? Not to .il, that’s for sure.Ĭrowds are very powerful. Our wiki has this page, so it should be found….I was so much hopeful it would, but… Nope! So, maybe I’m stupid, and I’m looking for a wrong value, maybe I should be looking for one of the pages and not the main sub domain, right? Ok, so last mystery for today, here is my page URL : .il right? You know it is there, and I know it is there, but does .il knows? When I try to use it on .il this is what I get:ĭoes this means that each web gets separate account? WHY, oh WHY? Yep, it worked,Īnd now I’m logged in with vvvlad to the main page on .il and this is probably the all system account I should use, right? But NO!!! I remember wiki making me to create a general wiki account that should let me login to the main page with vvvlad username. Ok, so this is a mystery, but it is not over yet. So, maybe I’m wrong, maybe I’ve been dreaming all this week and I don’t have an account? I go to the main page, and try to login with my account (which I’m using for a week now), and this is what I get: So far so good (although it was not simple at all), but here is a puzzle. I’ve created a user in the website, and I’ve created a page (.il), and I’ve even managed to invite my team members to make changes to this website. I will not start describing all my issues with it, but I would really appreciate if someone could help me understand how it works. I think that .il (and no, typing .il will not take you to the website, only will! ) is one of the most confusing and not user friendly websites I’ve used in a while. I never thought that I would hate so much to work with wiki. If someone don't want to share his knowledge - no big deal! If I create an app that integrates some knowledge - all users will benefit from that knowledge. Knowledge management works best when it is transparent to the users. It is better when happens as part of the operations and not per project or action. Internal is at least one person who is really pacionate and external is a sponsor (manager).ĭocuments not accessible, no version control, no Internet based technology. ![]() if you want a developer to create a reusable component, it has to be one of the goals of the project.įor success: internal engine and external engine.
