Filipino chop suey, introduced during the American colonial period of the Philippines The long list of conflicting stories about the origin of chop suey is, in the words of food historian Alan Davidson, "a prime example of culinary mythology" and typical of popular foods.

11/27/2023 0 Comments Damian lazarus seattle tourIt was here that Claude offered Jake his debut DIRTYBIRD album and where the ‘Happy Accidents’ concept took form. For marathon stretches each week Lubelski would get lost in the bleeps and bloops of modular synth oddities, letting the randomness of the machines take control, and showing off a side of his personality that few had seen before. Then in the heat of lock-downs, banished from the booth, Claude VonStroke offered Lubelski a live modular-jam show on the label’s Twitch channel that would forever change the way he made music. Continuing onward as a tastemaker, Lubelski tapped artists like Melé, Doc Martin, Cut Snake, MADVILLA, m.O.N.R.O.E and more to remix his Universal Groove LP, concluding his debut album cycle. He then returned to his home turf labels of Desert Hearts with ‘The Rave Scene’ EP and his leftfield return to VonStroke’s Dirtybird with ‘Lost My Senses’.Ģ021 charts new territory for Lubell, harnessing the drive of an unwasted year in lockdown with his late winter Crosstown Rebels debut with ‘Passion Fruits ft Xylar’ followed by EPs on Cut Snake’s Big Bam Boo and prime remix duties of Nicky Night Time, Breakbot, and Ali Love’s ‘Ubiquity’ on Music To Dance To Records. This milestone began a momentous string of chart topping EPs on key European imprints elrow, Mele’s Club Bad, Audiojack’s Gruuv, and Stefano Nofereni’s Deeperfect. While some pushed back release schedules in the wake of folded tours and stripped visas, Jake kept the course, putting out his debut ‘Universal Groove’ album on his own Percomaniacs imprint. When 2020 struck Lubelski was poised for what was and will remain his breakout year. Through a decade of dedication to self-taught musical exploration and a keen understanding of late nights on the dancefloor, this talent on the verge has emerged as one of North America’s most promising forces. Part electrical engineer, part multi-instrumentalist studio kid, Jake Lubell has synthesized a knack for percussive, eclectic beats into a guiding beacon for analog obsessed producers worldwide. ![]() Lubelski remains loyal to the wonkiness of the West Coast rave-scene that raised him, yet navigates the studio and booth alike with an elevated sense of songwriting far beyond his years. A Los Angeles native bred in the eclectic corners of SoCal - Jake Lubell has cultivated an unmistakable sound of his own, repeatedly earning the attention of some of the world’s most famed selectors and curators. When it comes to the next generation of house music artists and flag bearers of rave culture there are few out there who bring a sense of creativity and style to the fold like Lubelski. Noise Complaint and 5K are proud to present, two rooms of thoughtfully curated music featuring: Lubelski 11/27/2023 0 Comments Trine dyrholm hotThe film never figures out what to do with him, but their relationship makes for its most memorable moment, as the mother wordlessly hands her son a wet cigarette that tastes of the hope and regret between them. That’s even true of Nico’s troubled son (Sandor Funtek), a drug-addled lovechild from her affair with Alain Delon. In fact, it flows best as an egotistic slipstream, the thin supporting characters only notable when they’re reduced to collateral damage. Thanks to the fleshed out messiness of Dyrholm’s performance, and how eerily the former Eurovision contestant brings Nico back to life whenever she sings, the movie is able to support the sketchiness of its approach. At the very least, there’s something to be said for a biopic that doesn’t feel a need to fill in the blank spaces of its subject’s Wikipedia page, or shape their defining moments into a clear trajectory (Nicchiarelli has fun mocking genre conventions, especially with an expository voiceover track that only speaks in the legalese of a custody hearing). ![]() There’s a deliberate opaqueness at work, as though Nicchiarelli believes it would be dishonest - or even disrespectful - to render Nico’s singular life in more comprehendible terms. “I’ve been on the top, I’ve been on the bottom - both places are empty.” ![]() “I really don’t care about music anymore,” she announces at one point. She refuses to look backwards, she gives herself no reason to look forwards, and heroin is the only thing that seems to keep her in the moment. Her singing voice is a hollow drone, and her speaking voice is inflected with an almost senile rudeness. Convincingly reanimated by the great Danish actress Trine Dyrholm, this Nico has bags under her eyes and bruises around the needle holes in her feet. ‘Lost Ladies’ Review: Kiran Rao’s Delightful Hindi Comedy Swings and WinsĪ defiantly anti-dramatic chronicle of the European tour that turned out to be Nico’s last, Nicchiarelli’s film is not the story of a woman who’s sad to be in her forties - if anything, it’s the story of a woman who’s so happy to be invisible that she’s done everything in her power to speed up the process. Lead vocals on there songs, some mindless tambourine shaking on the others, and a short lifetime of telling people not to call her “Lou Reed’s femme fatale.” Nobody even mentions that she was in “La Dolce Vita”! Several decades into a tortured and compelling solo career, and everything she does is still overshadowed by the one thing she did. The first 90 seconds of Susanna Nicchiarelli’s gloomy and grounded biopic visit all three of these periods (though the rest of it is almost exclusively set in the last one), “Nico, 1988” introducing its subject as someone who can’t extricate her present from her past. Twenty years after that, she sits in a Manchester radio station, patchy and strung out and shutting down any questions about her stint with The Velvet Underground - she’ll be dead in two years, but it looks as if she’s already decomposing. Twenty years later, she reappears as a blonde chanteuse in Andy Warhol’s New York City, her stage name attached to one of the most influential records in the history of popular music. Little Chenier was directed by actress and filmmaker Bethany Ashton Wolf, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jace Johnson, whose short story provided the basis for the story.A little girl stands on the outskirts of Berlin and watches from a distance as orange fire melts the city into a shapeless candied glow. ![]() Carl's father is the local sheriff, and when he's killed in the line of duty, his son takes his place it isn't long before Carl learns Mary-Louise has been having an affair with Beaux, and he uses his new authority to put Pemon behind bars on false change as a way of punishing his big brother. As it happens, Carl has reason to suspect Mary-Louise - she still stops by the Dupuis home occasionally to bring snacks for Pemon, and is sometimes tempted into infidelity by Beaux. Beaux used to love Mary-Louise (Tamara Braun), a dark-eyed beauty, but she's recently married local ne'er do well Carl Lebauve (Jeremy Davidson), who has a mean streak and a jealous nature. Beaux is a handsome and responsible man who supports his family by running a bait shop and looks after Pemon, who is mentally handicapped. Beaux Dupuis (Jonathan Schaech) lives on a houseboat with his brother Pemon (Fred Koehler) in the swamps of Cajun country. Two brothers are victimized by a weak and jealous man in this drama shot on location in Louisiana. 11/27/2023 0 Comments Solar roofs would power planetThe new legislation is aimed at large car parks, especially near highways and major routes. The legislation specifies that larger car parks must have at least half of the property covered in solar panels.ĮcoWatch adds that many car parks in France are already equipped with solar panels, including the ongoing development of a 17 megawatt installation that will cover over 11,200 parking spots for Disneyland Paris. Parking lots for heavy goods vehicles weighing over 7.5 metric tons may not be required to install the solar panels and solar panel installation that “cannot be met under economically acceptable conditions” could also be exempt, according to Engadget. Parking lots that have architectural, environmental, heritage, or other proven restraints, and car parks that have at least half of the property shaded by trees may be exempt. “We must not delay the implementation of the decarbonization of our economy,” Senator Agnès Pannier-Runacher said during the Senate debate on the legislation, Forbes reports. ![]() For a parking lot with 80 spaces, the fine could amount to 48,000 euros per year. Failure to comply in time will result in a fine of 50 euros per parking spot per month. Lots with more than 400 spaces will need to comply within three years. Parking lot owners will have 5 years to comply starting from July 1, 2023. ![]() When complete, it is estimated all those solar roofs will provide an estimate 11 MW of electricity - equivalent to the output of 10 conventional nuclear power plants. This has the rather splendid, if accidental, effect of making cheap renewable electricity available to any electric cars parked below.īut here’s the kicker. Last week, as part of the scramble going on all across Europe to replace cheap natural gas supplies from Russia with renewable energy, the French Senate approved new legislation that requires all car parks with space for more than 80 cars to cover those spaces with solar roofs. When you run all the numbers, there can be significant economic advantages to producing solar power close to where it will be consumed. ![]() Yes, it is cheaper to build huge solar farms on enormous tracts of open land, but then there are the costs of connecting those solar farms to the grid and distributing it to where it is needed. The notion of distributed renewables is just starting to gain currency at the highest levels. But things are changing, partly because it is getting harder to find places to erect solar farms due to “not in my backyard” concerns and partly because people are slowly beginning to recognize that the best way to put solar power to work it to make it as close as possible to where it will be used. Until recently, “solar roofs” was a term that applied primarily to private residences or small commercial buildings. 11/27/2023 0 Comments Install epson scan windows 10How do I install the software for my product if I don't have the CD?

Each block is predicted on the values from the three blocks above it and from one block to the left of it (block decoding is done in raster-scan order: left to right and top to bottom). The side length of WebP images is limited to 16 383 pixels. Without further content, the mandatory RIFF container has an overhead of only twenty bytes, though it can also hold additional metadata. As such, it is a block-based transformation scheme with eight bits of color depth and a luminance–chrominance model with chroma subsampling by a ratio of 1:2 ( YCbCr 4:2:0). WebP's lossy compression algorithm is based on the intra-frame coding of the VP8 video format and the Resource Interchange File Format (RIFF) as a container format. Īs of November 2021, web browsers that support WebP had 96% market share. The supporting libwebp library reached version 1.0 in April 2018. In September 2020, WebP support was added in Safari version 14. In July 2016, Apple added WebP support to early beta versions of macOS Sierra and iOS 10, but support was later removed in the GM seed versions of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra released in September 2016. According to Google's measurements in November 2011, a conversion from PNG to WebP resulted in a 45% reduction in file size when starting with PNGs found on the web, and a 28% reduction compared to PNGs that are recompressed with pngcrush and PNGOUT. On 18 November 2011, Google announced a new lossless compression mode, and support for transparency ( alpha channel) in both lossless and lossy modes support was enabled by default in libwebp 0.2.0 (16 August 2012). Older animated GIF files can be converted to animated WebP. Tiling support was never finalized and was removed from the spec again. On 3 October 2011, Google added an "Extended File Format" allowing WebP support for animation, ICC profile, XMP and Exif metadata, and tiling (compositing very large images from maximum 16383×16383 tiles). WebP-related software is released under a BSD free software license. As a derivative of the VP8 video format, it is a sister project to the WebM multimedia container format. It was based on technology which Google had acquired with the purchase of On2 Technologies. WebP was first announced by Google on 30 September in 2010 as a new open format for lossy compressed true-color graphics on the web, producing files that were smaller than JPEG files for comparable image quality. ![]() ![]() Google announced the WebP format in September 2010, and released the first stable version of its supporting library in April 2018.

This means that they were satisfied with the food. Sometimes, they continue to bark after eating. You may hear raccoons barking while eating left-over foods in your trash can. This feeding habit suggests that they are excited to eat or starving for food. Barking Like a DogĪside from growling, raccoons bark like dogs while they are eating. Some distressed raccoons may also scream and screech if they are calling each other’s attention. Sometimes, they may also sound like two cats fighting in your attic. If you hear raccoons screeching like an owl, they can either be fighting or mating. Raccoons screech and scream for various reasons. Here are some of the common sounds raccoons make. This is why you rarely hear one raccoon only. They are solitary animals, but females usually nest together, especially when they are caring for their young. Raccoons make sounds mostly at night, and they can wake you up if they are in your chimney or attic. And as danger comes closer, their sounds will be louder and longer. But when cornered, these shy animals will also create a series of weird sounds. Among them are foxes, wolves, pumas, coyotes, and bears. They climb tall trees using their sharp claws to avoid predators. They also create violent sounds when mating. Some of their sounds are odd and creepy, especially when they are distressed or angry. These raccoon sounds may sound like other animal sounds but are still unique in many aspects. Creating SoundsĪs mentioned above, raccoons can produce a wide variety of sounds. They usually mate with lots of females and leave them to take care of the young. Male raccoons also use this technique to court females. ![]() While they look cute in photos, these “bandit-masked” thieves use their conspicuous facial coloration to recognize each other.

Once a raccoon smells another raccoon’s poop, it tells him that the area already has an “owner.” Aside from feces, male raccoons also rub their behinds on any area they want to claim as their territory. But for raccoons, the annoying odor is like leaving a message. This is why you should not touch them or go near them without the proper PPE (personal protective equipment). Raccoon droppings and urine emit very foul odors and can transmit infectious diseases such as Leptospirosis and Salmonella. In doing so, these fur-bearing creatures can convey a message, send signals, and express their emotions to their comrades and the opposite sex. Generally speaking, raccoons communicate with each other in three different ways – scent marking, visual displays, and by creating sounds. 11/26/2023 0 Comments Conair travel smart adapter plugThere are other benefits to choosing a lighter product, depending on the space you'll be staying in once you arrive.
