It was a lovely experience and I must say I was overly taken into the romanticism of the moment by thinking about the glorious Canadian winter with lashings of snow and log cabins.Īpproximate retail price: US$82. They have over nine tour packages to choose from that are tailored to your specific experience. The aroma renders the boldness of ripe red berries with complex notes of spice and the sweetness of rhubarb. Peller Estates offers one of the best Niagara wine tours. It was nice, pleasant, would go well with dessert or a nice cheese platter to end the night. From the winery: Made of 100 Cabernet Franc. So I did in fact smell and taste the red berries, but not so much fresh ones, more the crasins (cranberry-raisins) type, definitely dried fruits (prunes, cherries) with a touch of rhubarb and citrus (limey more than lemony) in there to give it that acidic kick that any good sweetie needs. To be honest I really didn’t know what to think so I got stuck right in and here is what I found. The first thought that came to mind was something in-between tawny port with a red berry twist on it from the Cab Franc used. I really didn’t know what to expect of the syrupy tawny coloured nectar that radiated out of its slim elegant bottle (unfortunately it’s definitely not cherry red like on their website). how much wine is actually made – NOT A LOT! Ice-wine is made from grapes which have been frozen on the vine and then pressed frozen to expel all the extremely concentrated sugars for the drinker without getting all that excess water. Vidal is a hybrid grape variety produced from the Vitis vinifera. Luxuriously sweet with flavours of orange and honey, this Riesling Icewine boasts the highest sugar content of any Peller Estates Icewine. An opportunity any wine aficionado should do at least once, plus I can’t break my philosophy of trying every bottle at least once can I – emphasis on the ‘at least once’ (or twice, or three times or how about just half a dozen to make sure it really is that good). Peller Estates Vidal Icewine is a Canadian dessert wine. Peller Estates Vidal Ice Wine (375 ML) 2017 Other Dessert from Ontario, Canada D92 750ML / 11 ABV Out of Stock (was 76. Recently I was given the opportunity to sample the Peller Estates Cabernet Franc 2006 Ice-wine. And beware fellow wine-lover this is not a lie – this is exactly how ice-wine is made to entice, seduce and enrapture those fickle taste buds of yours one drop at a time. PRIVATE RESERVE SERIES Whether they have an affinity for Escarpment limestone, offshore breezes from Lake Ontario, or the number of other factors that make the Niagara Peninsula such an ideal climate for growing grapes, our Private Reserve wines showcase the very best varietals that are grown in this appellation.

NASA also plans to launch a mission to the Galilean moons in the 2020s, which will focus on looking for evidence for life on Europa. It will then fly by Callisto and Europa, before orbiting Ganymede. The JUICE spacecraft should arrive at Jupiter in 2030. The ESA plan to launch a mission to the Galilean moons in 2022, known as Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE). Juno is currently observing Jupiter’s gravitational and magnetic fields and the composition and dynamics of its atmosphere to help explain how planets like Jupiter form. NASA launched Juno in 2011 and it entered into orbit around Jupiter in 2016. The orbiter was deliberately steered into Jupiter and destroyed in 2003 to avoid contaminating any moons that may harbour life. It released an atmospheric probe, which lasted for just under an hour. The Galileo orbiter went into orbit around Jupiter in 1995, after flying by all of the Galilean moons. NASA’s Galileo spacecraft launched in 1989. New Horizons flew within 2 million km of Jupiter and passed all the Galilean moons in 2007, while on its way to Pluto. In 2006, NASA launched the New Horizons spacecraft. Cassini passed within 10 million km of Jupiter on its way to Saturn. NASA, the ESA, and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) launched the Cassini spacecraft in 1997. In 1990, NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA) launched Ulysses, which came within 400,000 km of Jupiter in 1992, and within 120 million km in 2004. Pioneer 11 came closest to Jupiter, flying within 34,000 km, and Voyager 2 was furthest coming within 570,000 km. All of these probes were on their way out of the Solar System (discussed in Chapter 27). This was followed by NASA’s Pioneer 11 in 1974, and Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both in 1979. The first spacecraft to observe Jupiter, as well as all the Galilean moons, was NASA’s Pioneer 10 probe in 1973. It’s thought to have a small silicate core and a large icy mantle, with an ocean of liquid water between the mantle and the surface. Ĭallisto has a thin atmosphere composed of carbon dioxide. This means that there is nothing to periodically fill in old craters, and so Callisto is the most heavily cratered object in the Solar System. Callisto does not feel Jupiter’s tidal effects as strongly as the other moons, and so it has no active volcanoes. The surface of Callisto is composed of silicate rock and frozen water. It has the second-largest mass of the Galilean moons and is about the same size as Mercury. 21.2.4 CallistoĬallisto is the furthest of the Galilean moons. It’s the only moon in the Solar System known to have a magnetosphere. Ganymede has a thin oxygen atmosphere and a liquid iron core. The surface of Ganymede is covered in dark cratered regions and lighter regions, which are covered in ridges and grooves. Ganymede is primarily composed of silicate rock and frozen water, but a saltwater ocean is thought to exist nearly 200 km below the surface, between two layers of ice. It’s also larger than Mercury, although not as massive. It’s the largest and most massive moon in the Solar System. Ganymede is the third Galilean moon from Jupiter. Īn artist’s impression of Europa with Jupiter and Io in the background. Europa is also expected to contain a salt-water ocean, which extends for about 100 km below its frozen surface. Europa’s interior is mostly composed of silicate rock with an iron core. It has a thin oxygen atmosphere and a surface composed of frozen water. It’s also the least massive of the Galilean moons and has a diameter similar to that of the Earth’s Moon. 21.2.2 EuropaĮuropa is the second Galilean moon from Jupiter. Volcanoes on Io emit plumes of sulfur dioxide, which can reach 500 km, over seven times the diameter of Io and five times the distance to space from the surface of the Earth. The strong gravitational pull of Jupiter causes Io to be geologically active, and it’s thought to be the most geologically active object in the Solar System, with over 500 volcanic centres and over 100 mountains, some almost twice the height of Everest. Its surface is covered with sulfur and sulfur dioxide frost, and it has a molten core made of iron and iron sulfide. Io is the closest Galilean moon to Jupiter and has the third-largest mass of the Galilean moons. A composite image of Jupiter and the Galilean moons (to scale) from left to right: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. The lights went down in the theater, and the movie started with a 3 minute long rap called “Pray 4 My City” on a black screen with lyrics in red, talking about the violence in Chicago. And my double-breasted pea coat did not measure up. People showed up in all manners of fur, and the full-length joints with the matching headgear were in full effect. If all that wasn’t “Chicago” enough, the outfits that people had on surely were. I went to the Chicago premiere of Chi-Raq at the Chicago Theater on Sunday, November 22. He is committed to the art he wants to make and he will see it through. The trailers dropped and voices raised anew, pissed that he dared to do this. People have not been silent about letting Spike know that they do not approve of his latest project owning that name. So Chi-raq is a bitter moniker and it is telling a single and incomplete story about the Second City. Apparently, more lives have been lost in this city to gun violence than in the US military during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “Chi-raq” is the Windy City’s unwanted nickname, spurred by its murder statistics. It’s a film that has been drowning in controversy since it was announced, especially amongst Chicagoans who took offense to a film carrying that title. The title is in your face, and so is everything else about it. Spike Lee has never been known for his subtlety as a filmmaker and that is surely not going to change with his latest movie, Chi-Raq. Without assessing one's reliability for test scoring, there is questionable validity. This should be a primary consideration when employing cognitive tests. These concerns stimulated the present investigation.įirst, clinicians using clock drawing rarely consider rater/scorer reliability. Based on our observations of novice clinicians using clock drawing, we identified concerns with scoring and administration. Within medical settings, general practitioners and medical residents with little training in cognitive principles or test psychometry often employ clock drawing tests with other cognitive screeners. Presently, clock drawing continues to be used at the bedside and in the community for dementia screening. Thus, when command and copy conditions are used together, clock drawing appears particularly helpful for differentiating dementia subtypes. Alzheimer's disease, AD) typically improve from command to copy. By contrast, individuals with less executive dysfunction relative to other domains of cognitive impairment (e.g. In dementia, poor command and copy performance is often seen among individuals with frontal system deficits like Parkinson's disease with dementia (PDD) or Huntington's disease. They present with an inability to improve in their drawing despite the presentation of a clock model errors from the command condition are transferred to the copy condition. Individuals with deficits in visuospatial and executive functions typically perform poorly on command and copy conditions. While the command condition requires numerous cognitive functions, the copy condition largely draws upon visuospatial and executive functions. On a separate sheet, patients then copy a predrawn clock model. As classically defined by Edith Kaplan (1988), clock test administration involves first commanding patients to ‘draw the face of a clock with all the numbers and set the two hands to 10 after 11’. Ĭlock drawing is considered particularly beneficial for dementia assessment when both command and copy conditions are used and analyzed for errors. Consequently, clock drawing has gained wide acceptance as a useful tool for evaluating dementia and dementia subtypes. These cognitive functions are often compromised with dementia. Drawing a clock from memory and setting the hands to a specific time requires at least auditory comprehension, the ability to persist in drawing, remembering task instructions, and the ability to translate visuoperceptual information into an effective motor act (e.g. Clock drawing has historical ties to neurology and assesses diverse cognitive functions in addition to visuoconstruction. In our loft area we have One Cool Friend where kids. We also have a selection of puzzles, plush toys, activity kits, journals, bookmarks, and tote bags. The store will be maintaining the same hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. Specialties: Independently owned children's bookstore with a carefully curated selection of books and toys for babies and toddlers all the way to high school, including board books, picture books, early readers, early chapter books, and novels. The store’s name comes from the first line of an Emily Dickinson poem, “There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away.” “I want to wish them the best and I’m so happy the Frugal Frigate is sailing on,” she said. Thomerson said she hopes the new owners will “bring the magic back to the community.” “There’s a lot of goodwill and good thought,” she said. oppress of Toll- How frugal is the Chariot That bears the Human soul. Lisa said she has received happy and supportive reactions from people in the community. 3 Addictive Reading and Professional Authorship There is no Frigate like a Book. “It’s still a family business,” Jessica Ackerson said. The Ackersons have retained old employees and will be actively involved in store operations, Lisa said. “We contact people and say, ‘What did you do with the Frugal Frigate?”‘ she said. Lisa Ackerson said she wants to continue relationships with customers, schools and organizations. “I have students come up and say, ‘My mother used to take me to your storytimes,”‘ she said. Thomerson, who sold the Frugal Frigate to Brad Hundman in 2005, said she still uses children’s books in her classes. “You could walk in on a Tuesday morning and see 30 students and teachers,” said Thomerson, who said classes from nearby elementary schools would walk to the store. Thomerson and her staff held book parties, hosted authors and illustrators and invited classes to come for storytimes. “It has a really soulful history,” she said. She also created a section called “A Room of Her Own,” a space within the store devoted to women’s literature. Thomerson started with a 700-square-foot “corner” and expanded to 2,200 square feet in the 16½ years she owned the store. “We want to continue the legacy of the Frugal Frigate,” Lisa said.
A common chord (also known as a pivot chord) is a chord that is common to the current key, and the one being modulated into. As a composer, you would use a common chord (also known as a pivot chord) to make the transition. Modulating between closely related keys is generally very smooth due to the shared chords and likely won’t startle the listener. The verses are in G Major while the chorus is in D Major. These shared chords are useful when making the transition from one key to the next.Ī great example of a song that modulates to a closely related key is “ Save Me” by Queen. G Major, however, would be a closely related key because C Major and G Major share several of the same chords. In this case, F# Major would be a not be a closely related key because the two keys don’t have any chords in common. When modulating to a closely related key from C Major, both keys should share a few chords. To find closely related keys, take a look at their chords! Let’s use C Major as an example. Modulating to a Closely Related KeyĬlosely Related Keys are keys that share many common tones with one another. In this situation, F# Minor is technically “borrowing” the IV chord from F# Major (B Major). Using the same example, “Happy Together” uses a B Major chord as a transition between F# Minor and F# Major. The dominant chord can be used to transition from one key to the next, however, you can also borrow chords from the parallel major/minor key to make the switch. This makes the overall harmonic structure very similar. Modulating to a Parallel Key is another easy task because Parallel Keys share the same dominant chord. The verses are in F# Minor, but as soon as the chorus hits, there is a switch to F# Major. One of the best demonstrations of Parallel Key Modulation can be found in the song “ Happy Together” by The Turtles. For example, the parallel key of G Major is G Minor. Parallel keys are major scales and a minor scales that have the same tonic. One of the reasons this particular modulation is so effective is because you don’t even get an E♭ chord until the chorus. The verses are in C Minor while the chorus is in E♭ Major. However, since both keys share the same key signature, it can be hard to tell if the song is modulating or not.Ī great example of a song that modulates to a relative key is “ Mirrors” by Justin Timberlake. Modulating from a major key to its relative minor (or vice versa) is one of the easiest ways to perform modulation because the obstacle of changing to a key with different accidentals does not exist. The Circle of Fifths easily identifies relative keys. Relative keys are the major and minor scales that have the same key signatures, for example, D Major and B Minor (both keys have two sharps). But don’t worry, we’re here to help! We’re going to give you a complete guide to musical modulation, and hopefully, inspire you to try it in your compositions! Modulating to a Relative Key But with so many different ways to modulate, it can get a little confusing. Have you ever heard an epic key change that made a pretty good song instantly legendary? Modulation ( the act or process of changing from one key to another) in music is always a pleasant surprise to listeners as well as an excellent tool for songwriters and musicians. On the right hand side, you can see all of the images imported into Texture Atlas and click on each one to see the bounding box – another handy feature!Ī few notes about adding images using the Add Folder option, by the way. Texture Packer will load the images and intelligently lay them out within the sprite sheet as follows: Now, click the Add Folder button in the top toolbar and choose the TextureFun/TextureFun_Art/sprites folder. Agree to the license prompt and when you see the first popup that appears, choose “Test Pro for 1 week” to continue. When you download the DMG, and open the package and agree to the license, drag the TexturePacker icon to the Applications folder and follow the prompts to install Texture Packer on your machine.Īfter you finish installing, click on Texture Packer in your Applications folder to run it. There is a lite version that will work for this tutorial but you will quickly see the advantages of this great tool and want to use the full featured version. The first thing you need to do is download a copy of Texture Packer. Ok, now that you have a project template and some sample art to work with, time to make a sprite sheet using Texture Packer! Creating a Sprite Sheet with Texture Packer Download this sample artwork I gathered together, and after you unzip it, drag the entire directory as a subfolder of your TextureFun project source code folder, as shown in the image below. Next, you’ll need some images to make the sprite sheets. Expand the dropdown and select only the last four files ( main.m, AppDelegate.m, HelloWorldLayer.m, and IntroLayer.m), then click Check and finish the steps of the wizard. Just go to Edit\Refactor\Convert to Objective-C ARC. You are going to use ARC in this project, but by default the template isn’t set up to use ARC. Once you’ve got that installed, start up Xcode and make a new project with the iOS\cocos2d v 2.x\cocos2D iOS template, and name the project TextureFun. So first make sure that you have the latest “unstable” version of Cocos2D v2.x installed. Like I said, even though this is a Texture Packer tutorial, I wanted to show you an example of this working in an actual game, so we’ll be using Cocos2D for that. If you’re curious to learn more about Cocos2D, check out some of our other Cocos2D tutorials. If you are new to Cocos2D, you can still follow along with this Texture Packer tutorial, but there may be some missing gaps in your knowledge about Cocos2D itself as the focus will be on TexturePacker. This Texture Packer tutorial will show you how to use Texture Packer to create and optimize sprite sheets in your games, using a Cocos2D 2.X game as an example.Īlong the way, you’ll learn how to use pixel formats and Texture Packer wisely to make sure your games launch quickly, run smoothly, and use as little memory as possible – while still looking good! When making 2D games, it’s important to combine your sprites into large images called sprite sheets, in order to get the best performance for your games.Īnd Texture Packer is a great tool that makes it extremely easy to generate these sprite sheets – with the click of a button.

In addition, chloroplast expression vectors containing replicon fragments from pea, tobacco, or maize chloroplast DNA have also been tested for efficiency and duration of cat expression in chloroplasts of tobacco cells. Cultured NT1 tobacco cells collected on filter papers were bombarded with tungsten particles coated with pUC118 (negative control), 35S-CAT (nuclear expression vector), pHD312 (repliconless chloroplast expression vector), and pHD407, pACp18, and pACp19 ( chloroplast expression vectors with replicon). Sonic extracts of cells bombarded with pUC118 showed no detectable cat activity in the autoradiograms. Nuclear expression of cat reached two-thirds of the maximal 48 hr after bombardment and the maximal at 72 hr. Cells bombarded with chloroplast expression vectors showed a low level of expression until 48 hr of incubation. A dramatic increase in the expression of cat was observed 24 hr after the addition of fresh medium to cultured cells in samples bombarded with pHD407 the repliconless vector pHD312 showed about 50% of this maximal activity. The expression of nuclear cat and the repliconless chloroplast vector decreased after 72 hr, but a high level of chloroplast cat expression was maintained in cells bombarded with pHD407. Organelle-specific expression of cat in appropriate compartments was checked by introducing various plasmid constructions into tobacco protoplasts by electroporation. Although the nuclear expression vector 35S-CAT showed expression of cat, no activity was observed with any chloroplast vectors.Įxpression of chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (cat) by suitable vectors in chloroplasts of cultured tobacco cells, delivered by high-velocity microprojectiles, is reported here. In addition, chloroplast expression vectors containing replicon fragments from pea, tobacc.Ĭhloroplasts activity and PAP-signaling regulate programmed cell death in Arabidopsis Several chloroplast expression vectors containing bacterial cat genes, placed under the control of either psbA promoter region from pea (pHD series) or rbcL promoter region from maize (pAC series) have been used in this study. Programmed cell death (PCD) is a crucial process both for plant development and responses to biotic and abiotic stress. There is accumulating evidence that chloroplasts may play a central role during plant PCD as for mitochondria in animal cells, but it is still unclear whether they participate in PCD onset, execution, or both. To tackle this question, we have analyzed the contribution of chloroplast function to the cell death phenotype of the myoinositol phosphate synthase1 (mips1) mutant that forms spontaneous lesions in a light-dependent manner. |
