"Oh and by the way, if you're wondering what I was having for lunch that day, it was a ham sandwich with an apple and potato chips in a bag. I had a soda as well."

I liked the part with the exploration of the mind/body duality.

If 07/27/1978 has even one solitary flaw, it's the middle-endian date format used in its title. Happy Pipe Strip Day to all those who celebrate.

Dvořák 7 (1 submittal)

I saw Dvořak's 8th and 9th symphonies on the list and knew I couldn't let you get away with not including his 7th. It's a hot take, I know, but not only think do I think it bests the Czech maestro's two follow-ups — I also believe it to be the greatest symphony ever written. And I've heard a ton! It's a stormy piece, full of diminished sevenths, that weaves bold Germanic influence (particularly Brahms) and the rustic Czech folk music that defined Dvořak's earlier pieces.

(Timestamps from this recording, with Kubelik conducting the Bavarian Radio in 1978. I wish his '71 recording with the Berlin Philharmonic was on YT but I guess we can't have nice things.)

Dvořak starts off with low rumblings from the timpani and strings, and introduces a terrifically Brahmsian 6/8 theme. The first movement is amazing, if not perfect — setting a high bar for a symphony that somehow still gets *better with each movement*. The second movement, which begins at 11:41, is a phenomenal work of beauty from the moment you first hear the wistful clarinet theme. It first reaches a climax at 14:53, and then later at 18:24. Supposedly, part of the inspiration for this movement was the death of his mother, which makes it all the more impactful. The following scherzo (20:55) does an incredible job of balancing a melody and counter-melody, and the trio (23:27) helps make this one of the best scherzi out there, combining a light touch with a resonant underlying emotional current. However, as good as the first 3/4 of the symphony is, it pales in comparison to the magnificent finale vaguely in sonata form (28:17). Immediately heard is a rising octave theme that collapses to an almost frightening G♯ (tritone in D minor), later developed into a soaring arpeggio theme in the strings (29:07). A more serene secondary theme follows, before leading into the development, starting with the clarinet playing the arpeggio theme at 31:27. The initial octave theme and the arpeggio theme combine at 33:14 to mysterious effect. Finally, at 36:19, the piece ends with a dramatic — though not drawn-out — climax, famously concluding with a Picardy third.

character age headcanons!

♡ before you read | this is entirely my own interpretation of these character's ages, all based around how old I think they would be if they were all released in 2020! this dictates if I read for them or who I may write for the most, so anyone I've decided is under 18 gets strictly platonic/family-like relationships.

my headcanons are based on dialogue and character stories in game (ex. lisa being cyno's senior in school, neuvillette being a dragon, arlecchino being around 16 when freminet joined the house, etc.), and general assumptions to make up for centuries-old characters. any characters who would actually be dead irl are simply based on how old I think they present themselves.

I will be sticking to these ages strictly unless otherwise specified (high school or college aus/aus where age is specified/etc, but the age differences may not change)!

please respect my opinion, and I'd love to hear everyone else's age headcanons (or any others you may have) as well!!

Rollin' Rain and Hard Thunder - A Compilation Film by Swingin' Pig from Swingin' Pig (alternate account) on Vimeo.

PLEASE READ:

Here it is. I spent about a month editing this video together. I ripped the footage from a bootlegged tape of "Renaldo & Clara," a 1978 film that was edited by Howard Alk and Bob Dylan himself. Some snippets are from Martin Scorsese's incredible Netflix documentary "Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story." If you'd like to see "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" and "One More Cup of Coffee" (both of which are in this compilation) in 4K quality, do yourself a favor and watch it. There are other incredible performances in it that weren't in "Renaldo & Clara."

Anyway, as I was saying, this footage is from a source tape and some of the best quality versions that are available at the moment. Someday these performances will be rescanned, restored and released, but for now, this is what I have to work with visually. I did my best to correct the faded colors, correct the lighting, and sharpen the image a bit, but please realize that this was recorded from a television broadcast in the 1970s, and unaltered since then, so the images won't be perfect.

The audio is a different story, luckily. It took a long time to do, but I successfully overdubbed all of the original low-quality audio (it had a lot of hiss and was broadcasted in mono) with the soundboard recordings released on the Rolling Thunder Boxset. This took longer than I had expected because the footage and audio were sped up in the bootleg tape. But I eventually calculated the difference in speed and was able to synchronize them.

So, please enjoy this labor of love! Below is somewhat of a setlist and some of my personal thoughts on "standout" performances in this video.

CHAPTERS: 0:07 - It Ain't Me, Babe 5:26 - It Takes A Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry [Excellent, rocking version] 8:32 - Fascinating historical commentary by David Blue 9:20 - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall [released on YouTube and on Netflix's "Rolling Thunder Revue" documentary] 14:15 - Romance in Durango 19:05 - Isis [Incredible performance, superior to the one in the documentary. His voice is sheer power and cuts like a knife. I dare say it's Dylan's best-filmed performance of the tour. The way he moves his arms and hands makes you feel like you're looking into another dimension] 24:20 - Never Let Me Go [feat. Joan Baez] 27:05 - Interesting footage of the revue visiting Niagra Falls 27:32 - One More Cup of Coffee (Valley Below) [released on YouTube and on Netflix's "Rolling Thunder Revue" documentary] 31:35 - Sara [Gorgeous version with some beautiful footage I edited together in the beginning. The verse starting at 34:54 has incredible enunciation] 36:21 - Just Like a Woman [This is my favorite version of the song. Just watch listen to the whole thing, uninterrupted. It's just phenomenal. The bridge ("It was raining from the first") is some of the strongest singing I've ever heard from Dylan and then in the subsequent verse, he abruptly drops into this sweet tone. Just phenomenal] 40:32 - Knockin' On Heaven's Door [Beautiful version, superior to the one released in the Netflix documentary. The instrumental at 42:56 gives me chills] 44:35 - An emotional and cathartic ending.

Enjoy this gem while you can!

Super Breakout (Arcade)

Developed/Published by: Atari Released: 8/1978 Completed: 27/07/2023 Completion: Played all the modes. Still didn’t clear a screen. Version Played: Atari 50 (Nintendo Switch) Trophies / Achievements: n/a

One of the most fascinating things in history is how often something was invented, some idea was realised, and… someone else had come up with the same idea at the same time. Known as multiple discovery, simultaneous invention, even (appealingly) “railroad time”--Alan Moore has hypothesised that there exists a plane called “ideaspace” where we visit to bring back ideas, and sometimes people come home with the same thing in their bag.

It’s what makes me think that had Tomohiro Nishikado not designed Space Invaders in 1978, someone else would have. Not exactly the same game, no, but something essentially similar. The history of video games is littered with rip-offs, but it’s also interestingly littered with almosts and not-quites, like people took a trip to idea space, tried to bring home the excalibur of ideas but only came home with a broken off bit of the hilt.

We’ve seen it already. Avalanche… isn’t Space Invaders. Air-Sea Battle, an Atari 2600 launch title features a few modes that… aren’t Space Invaders. But they’re not a world away.

I suppose that’s what makes Super Breakout so interesting. Nishikado was so obsessed with the original that in many ways Space Invaders was his “take” on Breakout, and when Ed Rotberg tasked with making a sequel to Breakout he would, mere months after Space Invaders was released in Japan, release a version of Breakout where in one mode, Progressive Breakout, the bricks slowly move down the screen towards the paddle.

(Heck, it’s starting to sound like Tetris, actually.)

Now, I can’t say for sure that Ed Rotberg hadn’t seen Space Invaders; but dates don’t line up with enough time for him to have seen it (very early) and to incorporate it into Super Breakout; it’s more likely to have been inspired by Avalanche if anything–tearing off the same bit of idea space.

It’s really with Super Breakout that you can see the genius leap that Tomohiro Nishikado made. He didn’t need the intermediate step of “bricks moving down the screen” or “falling rocks” he went straight to enemies marching forward, shooting lasers.

By comparison, Super Breakout feels every bit the incremental improvement, if you can call it that; of the three modes here only Progressive Breakout has the spark of anything, with the other two extremely nothingy ideas. Cavity is just Breakout, but there are two extra balls held captive in the brick formation, and when you release them you can try and keep them alive. Doubles is… well, you’ve got a second paddle further up the screen which matches your first paddle’s horizontal movement, and there are two balls straight away.

That’s it. Really both are things that would barely be interesting as temporary power-ups in a later clone, and the things you might expect (different block patterns, etc.) are nowhere to be seen–not that it particularly matters, the game is as brutal as ever with it’s tiny paddle (although I was able to get blocks to bounce off the top row in Progressive Breakout, so that’s something. I mean my score has reached the hundreds, now!)

Will I ever play it again? I’m less interested in playing this than I am the original, honestly.

Final Thought: The weirdest thing about Super Breakout was chosen for Kid Stuff Record’s “The Story of Atari” book and tape/7-inch sets, which recounted the stories of Atari games such as Asteroids and Star Raiders. Apparently written based entirely on the cover of the Atari 2600 version which features an astronaut. Seems like the kind of thing that probably should have stayed in ideaspace, but what do I know.

Dvořák 7

I saw Dvořak's 8th and 9th symphonies on the list and knew I couldn't let you get away with not including his 7th. It's a hot take, I know, but not only think do I think it bests the Czech maestro's two follow-ups — I also believe it to be the greatest symphony ever written. And I've heard a ton! It's a stormy piece, full of diminished sevenths, that weaves bold Germanic influence (particularly Brahms) and the rustic Czech folk music that defined Dvořak's earlier pieces.

(Timestamps from this recording, with Kubelik conducting the Bavarian Radio in 1978. I wish his '71 recording with the Berlin Philharmonic was on YT but I guess we can't have nice things.)

Dvořak starts off with low rumblings from the timpani and strings, and introduces a terrifically Brahmsian 6/8 theme. The first movement is amazing, if not perfect — setting a high bar for a symphony that somehow still gets *better with each movement*. The second movement, which begins at 11:41, is a phenomenal work of beauty from the moment you first hear the wistful clarinet theme. It first reaches a climax at 14:53, and then later at 18:24. Supposedly, part of the inspiration for this movement was the death of his mother, which makes it all the more impactful. The following scherzo (20:55) does an incredible job of balancing a melody and counter-melody, and the trio (23:27) helps make this one of the best scherzi out there, combining a light touch with a resonant underlying emotional current. However, as good as the first 3/4 of the symphony is, it pales in comparison to the magnificent finale vaguely in sonata form (28:17). Immediately heard is a rising octave theme that collapses to an almost frightening G♯ (tritone in D minor), later developed into a soaring arpeggio theme in the strings (29:07). A more serene secondary theme follows, before leading into the development, starting with the clarinet playing the arpeggio theme at 31:27. The initial octave theme and the arpeggio theme combine at 33:14 to mysterious effect. Finally, at 36:19, the piece ends with a dramatic — though not drawn-out — climax, famously concluding with a Picardy third.

Новости Сиэтла - 27-07-2024

Чарльз Ройер, мэр Сиэтла дольше всех, умер в возрасте 84 лет.

В Сиэтле важная глава в истории города подошла к концу со смертью Чарльза «Чарли» Ройера, мэра с самым долгим сроком службы в истории Сиэтла, который скончался в возрасте 84 лет. Ройер, занимавший пост с 1978 по 1990 год, сыграл ключевую роль в превращении Сиэтла в крупный городской центр, сталкиваясь со сложностями, присущими большим городам, включая бездомность.

Путь Ройера начался в Медфорде, штат Орегон, где он родился в 1939 году. После службы в армии он получил степень по журналистике в Университете Орегона и в итоге стал политическим репортером. Его карьера изменилась, когда он присоединился к KING-TV в Сиэтле, где получил известность благодаря своему критическому анализу политических кандидатов. В 1977 году он совершил переход от журналистики к политике, начав успешную кампанию за пост мэра среди множества кандидатов.

На протяжении трех сроков Ройер реализовал новаторские жилищные инициативы, которые получили долгосрочную поддержку, решал проблемы в полицейском управлении и курировал значительные проекты городского развития, включая Конгресс-центр штата Вашингтон. Его руководство было отмечено приверженностью общественным инициативам, таким как создание жилья для малоимущих и открытие медицинских клиник по всему городу.

Администрация Ройера не обошлась без трудностей; он столкнулся с управленческими ошибками и сложными отношениями с городским советом на ранних этапах. Тем не менее, он адаптировался и нашел свою нишу, в конечном итоге оставив неизгладимый след в истории Сиэтла. Его достижения включали строительство автобусного туннеля в центре города, перенос Художественного музея Сиэтла и запуск активной программы утилизации, которая установила национальный стандарт.

Даже после выхода из офиса Ройер оставался уважаемым общественным деятелем, консультируя местных чиновников и внося вклад в обсуждение вопросов общественной политики. Его наследие — это преображение и развитие Сиэтла, так как он помог городу стать динамичным урбанистическим центром. Когда сообщество вспоминает о его вкладе, многие отмечают его как доброго человека и преобразующего мэра, который сформировал будущее Сиэтла.

Жалоба на Let's Go Washington не будет отправлена в офис генерального прокурора.

В Сиэтле политический ландшафт накаляется по мере приближения выборов в штате Вашингтон в 2024 году. Значительное внимание уделяется кандидатам, борющимся за должность комиссара по земельным ресурсам, и обсуждаются различные ключевые вопросы. Среди них – новая инициатива, касающаяся природного газа, которая успешно прошла отбор и будет вынесена на голосование, свидетельствуя о растущей озабоченности по поводу энергетической политики в регионе.

По мере начала избирательного сезона такие известные фигуры, как ��резидент Байден и вице-президент Камала Харрис, попадают в заголовки новостей. Недавнее мероприятие Байдена по сбору средств в Вашингтоне сопровождалось опасениями по поводу его здоровья, высказанными членом Палаты представителей Адамом Смитом, в то время как Харрис получает значительную поддержку и финансовую помощь от видных демократов штата, особенно после того, как Байден одобрил ее кандидатуру.

Тем не менее, политическая атмосфера не лишена противоречий. Группа под названием «Защитим Вашингтон» выразила недовольство Комиссией по публичному раскрытию информации (PDC) в связи с жалобой, которую они подали против политического комитета "Let’s Go Washington". Эта жалоба, находящаяся на рассмотрении более года, обвиняет комитет в том, что он не раскрыл финансовые данные, связанные с шестью инициативами, которые они успешно представили в законодательный орган. Эти инициативы включают важные вопросы, такие как руководящие принципы полицейского преследования, родительские права и налоговое регулирование. Три другие инициативы должны быть решены избирателями и направлены на отмену налога на прирост капитала и изменение программы получения долгосрочного ухода.

Способность PDC передавать дела в генеральную прокуратуру штата находится под пристальным вниманием, поскольку «Защитим Вашингтон» призывает к тщательному расследованию действий "Let’s Go Washington". Основатель комитета Хейвуд отрицает какие-либо правонарушения, подчеркивая свое полное сотрудничество с расследованием. Однако, служебная записка сотрудников комиссии свидетельствует об ином, указывая на отсутствие своевременной документации и прозрачности со стороны "Let’s Go Washington" в отношении их финансовых операций.

С приближением выборов напряженность между этими политическими фракциями в Сиэтле становится ощутимой, и результаты этих инициатив, а также позиции кандидатов по ключевым вопросам, вероятно, определят будущее штата Вашингтон.

WA выплатит 15 миллионов долларов трем сестрам, которые заявили о насилии со стороны приемных братьев из Централии.

В Сиэтле было достигнуто значительное юридическое урегулирование в результате душераздирающего дела с участием трех сестер — Дженнифер, Сильвии и Рэйчел Питтман, которые годами подвергались сексуальному насилию, находясь в приемной семье в Централии. Штат Вашингтон согласился выплатить 15 миллионов долларов сестрам, которые утверждали, что Департамент социальных и медицинских служб (DSHS) не смог защитить их от своих приемных братьев-подростков в период их проживания под опекой с 1990 по 1995 год.

Сестры, которым сейчас около тридцати, были помещены в приемные семьи после того, как их забрали у биологических родителей из-за пренебрежения. Впоследствии их усыновила семья, в которую входили те самые братья, которые их издевались. Насилие, которое сестры описали как «бесчисленные» случаи сексуального насилия, началось, когда им было всего два года. Их переживания усугублялись физическими и эмоциональными страданиями со стороны приемных родителей, которые жестоко обращались с ними и подвергали суровым наказаниям.

Несмотря на тяжелое положение сестер, надзор со стороны государства был удручающе недостаточным. Назначенный им социальный работник не проводил необходимых ежемесячных визитов для обеспечения их безопасности и благополучия, посещая их всего несколько раз за несколько лет. Даже когда сестры сообщали о неподобающем поведении своих приемных братьев, социальный работник не предпринимал никаких действий для расследования или защиты их, позволяя насили�� продолжаться бесконтрольно.

Когда дело было готово к суду, было достигнуто соглашение, что дало сестрам чувство справедливости, хотя и лишило их возможности полностью рассказать свою историю в суде. Рэйчел Питтман выразила надежду, что финансовая компенсация не только поможет в их исцелении, но и станет катализатором изменений, направленных на защиту других уязвимых детей в системе патронатного воспитания.

Этот случай привлек внимание к недостаткам в системе патронатного воспитания в Вашингтоне, подчеркнув необходимость подотчетности и реформ для предотвращения подобных трагедий в будущем. История сестер, отмеченная стойкостью и стремлением к справедливости, подчеркивает исключительную важность защиты благополучия детей, находящихся под опекой государства.
