If you want to force a trailing backslash, you need to pass a single backslash as the final argument to the function. The Code: PathJoin()īy default, all trailing backslashes are removed. The function is loosely based on the Python os.path.join method, so I've also borrowed the name. Each segment can be passed with or without a leading or trailing backslash. A Russian court on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for opposition blogger Maxim Katz, who has left the country, on charges of disparaging the military, as authorities declared other antiwar. I wrote the function below to combine an arbitrary number of path segments into a full filepath. You either nest the function calls, which is ugly, or you use multiple lines to call the function, which is unnecessarily verbose. The code's readability suffers as a result. Joining more than two path sections requires multiple calls to the BuildPath method. Newer versions of SQL Server include the FileTable feature which does exactly this, but the database engine handles all the details behind the scenes.) The best practice in most cases is to store the image on the file system with some sort of name that can be composed from database field values. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as when you need to guarantee transactional consistency between the image and the related record. (Storing images within a database is usually a bad idea. This is something I often do when building file names to refer to images stored on a network folder. I often find myself wanting to join multiple subfolders to create a full path.

![]() ![]() My first venture into educational history. □ The Biggest School Operator You've Never Heard Of Osman Siddiqi for being the first to tell me to look at all the inspiring work happening in Pakistan! Riaz Ahmed Kamlani & many others for doing the hard work to make TCF a model for others. Nadeem Hussain for writing a book about TCF that was a huge help. Those who helped with interviews or introductions for this article - Zia Akhter Abbas, Dr Asyia K., Shazia Kamal, Ateed Riaz, Sarah Farooq, Usama Khan. For more stories from this trip, sign up for my newsletter ( ) and follow me on LinkedIn or thank you's to: □ This is part of my journey to write a book about pioneers of systems change in the Global South's education bright spots (Brazil, Colombia, Kenya, Nigeria, India, Pakistan & Indonesia).

When I visited in Karachi last week, 5 methods stood out: But outside of Pakistan, few people know about TCF. The Economist called them “perhaps the largest network of independently run schools in the world.” They are a rare success story in a country with 239 million people. TCF started in 1995 & grew - despite constant challenges in Pakistan (devastating floods in 20, militancy from Al-Qaeda & the Taliban, the US invasion/war in neighboring Afghanistan from 2001-2021, a coup & martial law 1999-2002, & inflation currently at a 58-year high). My latest article has 5 lessons we can learn from their journey to scale. □ Did you know that one of the world's greatest education reform success stories is in one of the most difficult countries to work in - PAKISTAN? The Citizens Foundation runs 1,833 schools & influences national policy. If the airline does not sell all of their available Southwest Business Select seats, which allow those passengers to board in Zone A1-15, they will then sell them to other passengers for a fee. If there is availability, you may be able to upgrade your boarding position to A1-15 for $40-$60 per flight AT THE GATE. Upgraded Boarding at the Gate You may be able to upgrade to Zone A1-15 at the gate for a $40 fee if you see a sign like this. Here are the most commonly asked questions about Early Bird Check-in for Southwest.ģ. We usually purchase Early Bird for my husband to ensure he has enough legroom, because he is tall, and he is usually able to save a middle seat for my oldest son (though technically you aren’t really supposed to “save” seats).īut generally, middle seats are the last to be taken (how terrible to have to sit between two people -)), so it’s usually not a problem. 3 below.Īnd you’ll need to purchase Early Bird at least 36 hours in advance (the timeframe when the automatic check in begins for Early Bird). It may be smarter to instead wait till you get to the gate and upgrade to A1-15. If you’re late booking your flight (ie it’s within a few weeks), you may NOT want to purchase Early Bird, as they sell unlimited Early Birds, because you could be way back in the list. It’s best to sign up for Early Bird when you make your reservation, as the order of boarding in Early Bird is determined by when you purchased it.Īlso, those with Anytime Fares who purchased Early Bird will board ahead of those with Wanna Get Away fares who booked Early Bird. Use your Southwest credit card to pay for the fee to earn two Southwest points per dollar spent. This costs $15-$25 per flight per person per way, which adds up quickly for a family, but it automatically checks you in before the rest of the general public. Secondly, you can purchase Early Bird Check-in to reserve your passenger spot earlier than everyone else. ![]() Note: You also get a free Southwest drink with your business fare. Southwest Business Select gets you more Southwest points but is also MUCH more expensive, though may be worth it to fund as a business expense write-off. So, despite the rules, there is no guarantee of the first row. Myers, Florida, we had Business Select tickets, but were relegated to the fifth row because of the number of elderly and individuals boarding on wheelchairs. This puts you in the first boarding group, which is A 1-15, though BEHIND anyone boarding with a wheelchair. If you want to be assured of the best possible seat choice, you have a couple options when booking your Southwest flight.įirst, you can choose Southwest Business Select. Southwest Business Select Credit Southwest Airlines There are several ways you can ENSURE you get a better boarding position and thus earlier seat selection.ġ. Now, let’s take a look at how to get you the best possible boarding position! Options to Ensure a Good Flight Boarding Position ![]() You board in the order you’ve been assigned, which is determined by when you checked in, starting with A1 and ending with C60. That will put you in the middle of the B zone for your Southwest check-in. These zones are A, B and C and order 1-60 in each “zone,” and it is the same for both domestic and international flights. ![]() Southwest assigns “zones” for flight boarding based on when you check in and the level of ticket you have purchased. One and done! How Southwest Boarding Works No need to check in before boarding the plane at your connection site. To start, you will only need to check in ONCE per way on Southwest even if you have connecting flights. I’ve put together some tips to help you complete this task STRESS-FREE with the best shot at getting the seat you want - or at least to make sure your children can each sit with an adult family member. This can be especially daunting if you are flying with kids. Checking in on this airline can seem a little stressful, largely because you are not issued a seat assignment in advance. ![]() There are also options on viewing the source waveforms too. Or you can combine beats and instruments or instruments and vocal to switch or fade between them for instant Acappella or beats. You have full control over these independently on all four decks, but in two-deck mode, you can solo, mute, or swap sources with the other deck. And while the end result is largely the same, the implementation and target audiences are quite different.įirstly, djay Pro AI calls it Neural Mix, and it works by isolating beats, instruments, and vocals. On the face of it, Algoriddim and Atomix just announced much the same thing. But there’s nothing stopping you recording your output in real-time. There’s no extraction of stems to a saved file - record labels and streaming platforms might have an issue with that. ![]() I happily smashed out two hours worth via TIDAL with djay Pro AI without a single hitch.īut it is transient and temporary. No prep is needed, and it works with any audio source, including streamed music. Being baked into performance software means that this all happens live. The fundamental difference between old methods and this new one is immediacy. Let’s see if it was worth it should Algoriddim’s patent application get approved. And while Algoriddim isn’t expressly saying they’re not using Spleeter, Atomix goes out of its way to stress that their take is all their own work. Hell, people struggle with the App Store, let alone navigating arcane instructions on Github.īut the real joy is that it was open-source, meaning that anyone could use it. You couldn’t just download an app and extract away - this was command line stuff. Not the cleanest of stems you understand, but nobody would argue that this was nothing less than audio sorcery. But most recently, Deezer’s Spleeter technology made huge waves with real demonstrations of actively extracting decent stems. But it’s one that has developed over a period of time with a number of products. Let’s talk about Spleeterįor DJing, this is a whole new ballgame. We’ve always been able to screw around with our music in all manner of ways, either directly in software to create new versions, or while performing via loops, hot cues, samples, effects, and filters. This manifested itself with the lurch towards streaming services, and the plumbing in of said services into the usual suspects’ software, and now with Denon DJ directly into hardware.īut we’re talking about individual track manipulation rather than the delivery of them. It has long been my contention that everything that needs to be done by DJs has been rinsed to the nth degree via DJ technology, and that the next real innovation will happen with music. This however doesn’t stop me having an independent opinion. Instead, I want to take you down a different path, to explain how we got here, and why this is so damned important.ĭISCLAIMER - I’ve been Algoriddim’s video making guy for years. I’ll explain why shortly.Īs I’m stepping away from pure DJ news reporting, I’ll let you discover the respective djay Pro AI and VirtualDJ 2021 news here and here. And while early days (actually still hours at the time of writing) you’re witnessing the next real revolution. This is not a glib statement dished out for dramatic effect - the introduction of music source splitting just changed everything. ![]() And faced with little choice Atomix released VirtualDJ 2021 for macOS and Windows that offers the very same feature - real-time audio source splitting into stems.Īnd the DJ game… changed forever? Will never be the same again? Time will tell, but such hyperbolic marketing phrases do seem somewhat appropriate as I write this. So what happened? Well, Algoriddim announced djay Pro AI for iOS and iPadOS, a ground-up rebuild complete with audio source splitting tech dubbed Neural Mix. ![]() Thus that particular story arc got spiked. I had only expected one game-changing announcement that day, but then VirtualDJ green-lit their own take on precisely the same thing. I haven’t seen you this happy in a long time”. Turning to my better half on the sofa, I assured her it’s not a timely request but an exclamation. I had an entirely different article planned, one that told the story of my two hour pre-release djay Pro AI sofa mixing session. ![]() ![]() A special operations task force did not appear to be required. Malaysian police, in addition to the military, had their own jungle squads (now known as General Operations Force) to assist in combating communists at the time. The Communist insurgency occurred in 1968, but at the time, all military units in Malaysia were trained in jungle warfare, and Malaysia was assisted by special forces from the Commonwealth of Nations for special operations. The MSSU was on the verge of being disbanded by the brass after the Indonesia–Malaysia conflict officially ended in 1966. At the time, the MSSU was stationed at Sebatang Karah Camp in Port Dickson, Negeri Sembilan. Six more Basic Commando courses were held after the first batch, and the MSSU finally reached its full strength. 10773 Lance Corporal Muhammad Shah Izwan Bin Hanafi.13852 Lance Corporal Johari Bin Haji Morhd Siraj.Second Lieutenant Hussin Bin Awang Senik (Colonel retired).Second Lieutenant Ghazali Bin Ibrahim (Major General retired).Lieutenant Mohd Ramli Bin Ismail (Major General retired).Major Abu Hassan Bin Abdullah (Colonel retired).The following men were members of the nucleus team that later became the MSSU: Only four officers and nine other ranks were successful. Only 15 people were chosen from the initial 300 who volunteered to attend the six-week Basic Commando Course at the British Army Jungle Warfare Training School. The 40 Commando of the Royal Marines conducted introductory training at Majidee Camp in Johor Bahru on 25 February 1965. The Ministry of Defence invited volunteers from the Malaysian Army and Royal Malaysian Navy for commando training in 1965. This unit started as a special operations task force, with all of its members receiving commando training from the Royal Marines' 40 Commando.

Mac laptops: Function keys were not standard on Apple notebook hardware until the introduction of the PowerBook 5300 and the PowerBook 190.Former keyboards and Apple Keyboard with numeric keypad has the F1–F19 keys. The most recent Mac keyboards include 19 function keys, but keys F1–F4 and F7–F12 by default control features such as volume, media control, and Exposé. Current Mac keyboards include specialized function keys for controlling sound volume. According to the Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines, they are reserved for customization by the user. They have not traditionally been a major part of the Mac user interface, however, and are generally only used on cross-platform programs. Since the introduction of the Apple Extended Keyboard with the Macintosh II, however, keyboards with function keys have been available, though they did not become standard until the mid-1990s. Mac: The classic Mac OS supported system extensions known generally as FKEYS which could be installed in the System file and could be accessed with a Command-Shift-(number) keystroke combination (Command-Shift-3 was the screen capture function included with the system, and was installed as an FKEY) however, early Macintosh keyboards did not support numbered function keys in the normal sense.The original IBM PC keyboard ( PC/XT, 1981) had 10 function keys (F1–F10) in a 2×5 matrix at the left of the keyboard this was replaced by 12 keys in 3 blocks of 4 at the top of the keyboard in the Model M ("Enhanced", 1984). Later models replaced this with a numeric keypad, and moved the function keys to 24 keys at the top of the keyboard. IBM use of function keys dates to the IBM 3270 line of terminals, specifically the IBM 3277 (1972) with 78-key typewriter keyboard or operator console keyboard version, which both featured 12 programmed function (PF) keys in a 3×4 matrix at the right of the keyboard. Their modern use may have been popularized by IBM keyboards: first the IBM 3270 terminals, then the IBM PC. NEC's PC-8001, introduced in 1979, featured five function keys at the top of the keyboard, along with a numeric keypad on the right-hand side of the keyboard. HP continued its use of function keys in the HP 2640 (1975), which used screen-labeled function keys, placing the keys close to the screen, where labels could be displayed for their function. The HP 9830A (1972) was an early desktop computer, and one of the earliest specifically computing uses. In computing use, they were found on the HP 9810A calculator (1971) and later models of the HP 9800 series, which featured 10 programmable keys in 5×2 block (2 rows of 5 keys) at the top left of the keyboard, with paper labels. Soft keys date to avionics multi-function displays of military planes of the late 1960s/early 1970s, such as the Mark II avionics of the F-111D (first ordered 1967, delivered 1970–73). The interpretation of the function keys was determined by the programming of a plugboard inside the back of the machine. Although the Flexowriter could be used as a computer terminal, this electromechanical typewriter was primarily intended as a stand-alone word processing system. The Singer/Friden 2201 Flexowriter Programatic, introduced in 1965, had a cluster of 13 function keys, labeled F1 to F13 to the right of the main keyboard. HP 9830A (1972) with 5×2 grid of 10 function keys at top left Adults usually feed on nectar from flowers of plants, although many butterflies feed instead on rotting fruit, dung, etc., especially in the tropics. ![]() Usually the choice is made by the adult female when depositing eggs. Most butterfly caterpillars eat one, or sometimes several, related species of plants. However, butterflies are very important to many plants that are dependent upon flower-visiting insects for cross-pollination. Immatures, with few exceptions, eat plants, and therefore may be considered harmful to the plants. Plant associations. Butterflies are commonly associated with plants, and the relationship is sometimes complex. They eat voraciously to transform plant material into tissues that they will need for metamorphosis. When they are developing, their skin may be shed four or more times, with each molt often changing the coloration and appearance of the caterpillar. They are usually very distinctive, and in some cases may be identified more easily than the adults. Immatures. Caterpillars are the names given to the larvae of both butterflies and moths. They differ from other insects also by their ability to coil up their proboscis. ![]() There are about 17,500 species of butterflies in the world, and around 750 species in the United States.ĭistinctive characteristics.

Now it’s been some time since I’ve played a game in this genre as I’m not usually a fan of them but it feels like Wild Hearts has taken a grab bag of basically every single mechanic in the genre and smashed them together.

It almost feels inspired by the early days of 3D graphics in games with some of the models feeling like they were ripped out of Star Fox 64. Sayonara Wild Hearts’ visuals are a striking combination of low-fi textureless models and a colour palette* that shifts and morphs as you play through each of the levels. You’ll do this through riding motorcycles, skateboarding, dance battling, shooting lasers, wielding swords, and breaking hearts at 200 mph.
