![]() ![]() Maybe you’ll find a few old monochrome photographs of the musician, or maybe not. But today if you're interested in music from this era you're still going to be listening to a scratchy, old, lo-fi recording, in mono. Record collectors have done a wonderful job of preserving and reissuing digital versions of these primordial recordings for us to enjoy. There was a vibrant and competitive marketplace for hit records and blues was a new and popular style of music. What you recorded went straight onto the disc and that was it. So it was often just a guy, an acoustic guitar, and his voice to record a hit record, in one take, with no edits or overdubs. Electronic recording was developed in the mid 1920s but the instruments themselves would not be electrified until the 40s and 50s. This was a time when recorded music came out as 3 minute singles on 10 inch, 78 rpm phonograph discs made of mostly shellac. So I’m going to use a new term, Vintage Blues, for this music from long ago that has only gotten better with age. There are many names used to refer to blues music of this era: Country Blues, Acoustic Blues, Folk Blues, Fingerstyle Blues, PreWar Blues, none of which were actually used at the time, when it was simply called “Blues”. ![]() Perhaps it should come as no surprise to you that The Great Depression was an excellent time for blues. ![]() So as we enter the second century of recorded blues and look back upon how it has evolved over the last hundred years, for me, as a guitar player, the real “golden age of blues” was the 1930s. Of course blues as a musical form existed well before then, but it was around 1912 when the first blues songs were published as sheet music and around 1914 when they were first cut to record. As we begin this channel here in September 2016 it has now been more than a hundred years since the very first blues songs were recorded. So the idea here is to breathe some life into a very old style of music called “Blues”. Welcome to the very first episode of VintageBlues4K.

Wall shelves truly provide superstar support for your favourite decorations, allowing you to position them where you want them. Put up some small ornaments or build still lifes with picture frames. Place lamps and candles for cosy lighting and a warm atmosphere. Put some green flowers in nice pots for liveliness. You can easily add some decorations to really nail that personal touch.

They appear healthy at birth but can become sick very quickly when exposed to common illnesses. SCID is so rare that medical providers might not diagnose it until it is too late to provide lifesaving treatment. SCID is a rare, serious group of disorders involving the immune system. The immune system is composed of T and B lymphocytes or (T and B cells), the white blood cells that are responsible for fighting infections caused by viruses, bacteria and fungi. SCID will be detected using the same newborn screen specimen collected from a heel stick and tested at the Texas Department of State Health Services Laboratory. If not treated, most of the affected infants die within the first year of life. Although rare, SCID can be successfully treated if identified early in life. It can occur in about one in 40,000 to one in 100,000 newborns. SCID is one of the most serious and life-threatening forms of immune system problems. SCID is a group of genetic disorders characterized by profound defects in the immune system, the body’s line of defense against all types of infections.

And paraphrases push the readability goal even further. Translations like the New Living Translation (NLT) and the Contemporary English Version (CEV) give more weight to readability. ![]() However, some translations, like the New American Standard Bible (NASB) and the New King James Version (NKJV), will give more weight to matching the original language word-for-word. Most published translations will not render the original language this awkwardly. Someone translating John 3:16 word-for-word into English from the original Greek text without trying to make it readable would likely end up with something like this:įor so loved, God, the world, that his Son, the only begotten, he gave, that everyone who is believing on him may not perish, but may life unto the age. ![]() Sometimes we assume that a strictly literal, word-for-word translation would be the most accurate, but that doesn’t always work. They want to stay true to the wording of original-language manuscripts, while also providing an understandable reading experience. Scholars developing English translations of the Bible are balancing two goals: reliability and readability. ![]() ![]() ![]() All Medium Tractors in the base game can be upgraded with Wheel Weights or even Twin Wheels, increasing stability even more. They are much heavier than Small Tractors, and this weight gives them much-needed stability when front-loading heavy cargo they don't tip over as easily. Medium Tractors are the best vehicles for operating a Front Loading Arm. When using these tools, a Medium tractor can complete its fieldwork a lot faster than a Small tractor would. The engine of a Medium Tractor is powerful enough to operate medium field Implements, or a couple of small Implements simultaneously (e.g. Medium Tractors are a significant step up from Small Tractors in many different ways, mostly thanks to their powerful engine and increased stability. The Valtra T Series, a typical Medium tractor. Overall, Small Tractors gradually become obsolete as you get the money to buy larger Tractor models. Driving carefully, and attaching a Weight to the back of the Tractor, can help mitigate this problem. Nonetheless, it's important to remember that a Small Tractor is a very light vehicle - they tend to tip over when lifting heavy cargo, or when making sharp turns while carrying such cargo. With an arm installed, a Small Tractor is a relatively decent choice for Animal Husbandry work. Most Small tractors can be fitted a Front Loading Arm, allowing them to move cargo and Pallets. Even a Car should be able to out-perform a Small Tractor when towing. Even the smallest tipper, when fully loaded, can pose a problem for a Small Tractor. Small tractors are technically capable of towing Tippers and Loading Wagons - but again, only the smallest models. These small Implements are really quite small, and take a lot of time to process even a single small field. Almost every type of Implement (such as Sowing Machines, Cultivators, Mowers, etc.) includes at least one model that's small enough to be carried and operated by a Small Tractor. Small tractors are not really suitable for fieldwork, since they can only operate the smallest Implements. Most scenarios give the player at least one Small Tractor for free to start with, and more can easily be bought early on. Their low cost is pretty much their only advantage over other tractor categories. Small tractors are the cheapest and weakest of all tractors.

![]() The quest takes her back to Rainbow Clinic, the specialist unit for sex abuse survivors, which is a part of the former Levanglen Lunatic Asylum. ![]() So Maureen realizes that she must uncover the truth about the murder herself. The police first regard Maureen as the prime suspect in the case, then as an unreliable and unstable witness. Her recovery is not aided by starting an affair with her shady psychiatrist, an affair that ends when Maureen finds him in her living room with his throat cut. Maureen O’Donnell is a former patient who finds it hard to escape the shadow of the psychiatric hospital where she recovered from a breakdown. The plot twists in this riveting novel are powered by our sympathy for Esme and the heart-breaking price she pays for her unconventional personality. Esme, despite being institutionalized, has become the saner of the two. But Esme’s sister who played a part in her incarceration, is now lost in dementia and living in a specialist care home. When Esme’s hospital finally closes down, she is released into the care of a relative who had no idea of her existence. The full story of Esme’s committal to the asylum follows a web of deceptions through several generations of repressed family life in Scotland and colonial India. ![]() But her eccentricities hardly merit her being kept in a mental institution for sixty years. She would rather stay at home reading than go to a dance, she refuses violently to have a haircut and starts to take “funny turns” from which she can’t be roused. The question of what defines madness is at the heart Esme’s story because she is, in her family’s eyes at least, very definitely odd. The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O’Farrell (2006)Ĭonfinement in an institution could last for life as Esme Lennox discovers in this gripping novel based on real experiences from 20th century mental hospitals. The 1959 Mental Health Act, which ended routinely coercive treatment for mental patients in Britain, comes just too late for the novel’s key character, Helen, who is forcibly hospitalized at a time when the signatures of a family member and a GP were enough to incarcerate an embarrassing or inconvenient relative indefinitely. But the story really comes to life with a harrowing glimpse inside the functioning wards and treatment rooms in their mid-twentieth century heyday. Once abandoned, the building thrusts its way into the plot with a structural collapse that proves fatal. For decades, the hospital has loomed over the flat countryside and the local community, dominating the lives of its patients even those who stayed only briefly. Starting with the building’s modern incarnation as a block of luxury apartments, this involving psychological thriller takes us through the grim history of Nazareth Mental Hospital. A novel’s perspective on the merits of the ‘asylum,’ whether repellent, intriguing or therapeutic, depends very much on the point of view from which the story is told. The tension between these two visions of the mental institution / psychiatric hospital continues to be irresistible to thriller writers. For the nineteenth century “pauper lunatic,” the asylum often lived up to its original meaning as a place of refuge. And even without any 20th century “treatments,” patients often recovered, temporarily at least, following a period of rest and nourishment. Handwritten casebooks, which provide a detailed record of the condition and treatment of each patient, suggest that most medics, then as now, were earnest in their concern to improve the health and composure of distressed individuals. The research into Victorian records that I carried out for my novel The Conviction of Cora Burns (2019) revealed a rather different picture of asylum life. Here then, is the enduring nightmare of asylum thrillers, used again in the recent movie Unsane (2018) in which the heroine, once labelled “deranged,” becomes powerless in the face of corrupt medical opinion. ![]() Her impassioned her pleas of sanity are treated as delusional, the doctors’ say is terrifyingly final. Could the novelist, the letter asked, use his legal training to overturn the doctors’ malicious diagnosis and so liberate a sane person from this prison for the mad? We do not know how Wilkie Collins replied, nor indeed, whether the sender was in fact mentally ill, but this letter provided inspiration for the first great asylum novel The Woman in White (1860).Īt the heart of this story is a woman imprisoned by her husband in an insane asylum for his financial gain. In 1858, a young novelist in search of a story received a letter from someone claiming to be wrongly incarcerated in a lunatic asylum. ![]() ![]() If we provide social media features at any time, you may take such actions as are enabled by such features.

Elite is not meant to be easy, so the fact that shotgunner has no shield means incoming damage is quite strong. So with clever use of Bramble Wall, some nice kite micro between shotgun spots, and planning on where you are going to end up in order to place a healing circle on the ground before you get there all help, I find myself able to clear through content on elite with minimal issues. For the others, I don't recall off the top of my head, as my main is a zerker :) I don't remember the name of the spell, but the heal that you can put on the ground is pretty key, and keeps me alive even if things get in melee. It also takes the knockback from the shotgun, making it good and keeping enemies at bay. It's cool cause you can just place it over an area, so it works well with Bramble Wall. I use Acid Rain just as a nice AOE, but also for the shieldbreak. It's a lot easier to kill 20 mobs when you are fighting them five at a time, or if they are distracted attacking the bramble wall. It's nice because you can throw down one or two walls in a choke or near a choke and cut groups in half. However, my primary spells are Bramble Wall, which I usually do to section off a large portion of the mobs. I'd have to look at my toon for the specific passives, which I can't while I'm at work. The mechanic is actually a blind, but I consider this a stun in my use of the term due to the fact that the enemy is still essentially rendered useless for the duration. TL DR - Base classes will be modified eventually, but not until higher priority additions are finished.ĮDIT: I said that vanilla shotgun mastery is a stun. I played a Berserker all the way through with SynergiesMOD, up to 100, and found it to work just fine in Synergies. Once those are complete, I believe he intends to work more on Act 5 content. Right now, he is working on finishing the Paladin and Warlock. As he is the only person actively coding the mod, he can only do so much at a time. They all sound cool but I have no idea how they each play like. Embermage, Warlock, Outlander, Necromancer, Engineer. Started with a Ranger but I'm not sure if I want to keep going with it. Salan has talked about wanting to modify the original four classes to balance them for SynergiesMOD, but that is a lower priority on the list than the other work he is planning. Trying to decide on what class to play (Synergies mod) So I'm trying to figure out what class to play as. ![]() Spells are unlocked earlier to compensate for the increased difficulty and spawns that SynergiesMOD provides. In addition, SynergiesMOD changes level requirements to access certain spells, but the spells themselves are not changed. With the stun provided by the vanilla shotgun mastery, it can chain stun any of the endgame bosses that are in SynergiesMOD, essentially eradicating the difficulty and balance created for the endgame content. ![]() The reason for the change to Shotgun Mastery is just that it was too OP in its original form, and really just a silly mechanic to play the game with. The only change to base classes that I'm aware of is Shotgun Mastery for outlander. The base classes for SynergiesMOD are almost entirely untouched. ![]() |
