![]() DICE co-founder Liljegren announced on 16 October that he established RedJade as a successor to Digital Illusions Canada. The 25 employees working at the studio at the time were given the option to transfer to DICE's headquarters in Stockholm or any other EA studio. Shortly following the acquisition, on 5 October, EA closed Digital Illusions Canada, DICE's Ontario-based studio. The acquisition was completed on 2 October, with 2.6 million shares in DICE transferred to EA in exchange for a total of 175.5 million kr. In March 2006, EA announced a new plan to acquire all outstanding shares in DICE for 67.50 kr per share. ![]() On 25 January 2005, shareholders agreed to the acquisition, and EA raised their ownership in DICE to 59.8%. Initially, the offer was rejected by shareholders representing 28% of DICE's ownership on 15 December, after which EA adjusted its offer on 20 December, intending to only purchase 44.5% at the same price per share, extending the offer deadline to 20 January 2005. In November 2004, Electronic Arts (EA) announced their intent to purchase all outstanding shares in DICE at a price of 61 kr per share, with the deal's closing deadline scheduled for 27 December. Acquisition by Electronic Arts (2006–present) Trauma Studios employed nine people at the time. In September 2004, DICE also merged with Trauma Studios in New York City. Sandbox Studios added 50 employees to DICE's staff, amounting to 150 total employees. This was followed with the merger of Sandbox Studios in April 2001. Patrick Söderlund, who had founded Refraction Games in 1997, subsequently joined DICE as chief executive officer. ![]() From the acquisition, DICE inherited the in-development Battlefield 1942. In 2000, DICE acquired developer Refraction Games (developers of Codename Eagle). The four studied at Växjö University, thus DICE was established in Växjö.

Ultimately, the best way to determine whether or not a red sunset maple is a good tree for you is to consult with a local nursery or landscaping professional. Some people might consider a red sunset maple a good tree because of its striking foliage, while others might find the tree’s upkeep too demanding. No definitive answer exists to this question since preferences for trees vary widely.
![]() Free nerve endings are the most common nerve endings in skin, and they extend into the middle of. A free nerve ending, as its name implies, is an unencapsulated dendrite of a sensory neuron. In sensory transduction, the afferent nerves transmit through a series of synapses in the central nervous system, first in the spinal cord, the ventrobasal portion of the thalamus, and then on to the somatosensory cortex. Mechanoreceptors in the skin are described as encapsulated (that is, surrounded by a capsule) or unencapsulated (a group that includes free nerve endings). Ion channels are situated near these networks.

But I continue to search for an excellent Shrimp Francese. And it didn’t close years later for lack of business, trust me. Did the restaurant realize he was The Mayor? But the answer was: Does the Mayor realize this is Josepina’s? The restaurant won. Ah, but he didn’t have a reservation, they were full up, so that was impossible. The food was so good that a (in)famous former Mayor wanted to dine there, and his staff told them to get ready. I’ve been a fan of this dish ever since I went to a little Italian restaurant in The Bronx (in Riverdale), now. However, I wasn’t able to find another that served Shrimp Francese. There are many Italian restaurants to choose from in the North End. ![]() I would probably give L'Osteria another chance but there are so many other Italian restaurants in the North End that going back won't be my first choice on the next trip. ![]() We all gave her a 20% tip, but she did not deserve anywhere near that. She could not answer questions, was just slow to come around to take orders, did not know what desserts they had available, and also seemed bothered by our request for separate checks (due to our expense requirements) even though we told her upfront that we needed separate checks. I think the primary problem was our waitress. Everything was good but it was not the stand out dining experience I had expected given the atmosphere. Our meals were all delivered and beautifully plated in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the chicken bracchioletini and a glass of Montepulciano. food and wine menus includes standard staples with a few nuggets of differentiation. Even inside L'Osteria exudes charm and comfort. The restaurant looks like an old world gem and is located at the corner of Salem Street and Cooper Street in Boston's North End. Met colleagues in Boston earlier this week for dinner and they chose L'Osteria. Thank you so much for a great dinner out and for serving our family with professionalism and class! More Overall, a great dinner out with the entire family. That worked out great as some eat more than the others and we could custom serve their plates. Joanne suggested a couple servings of ziti and a side of meatballs for the kids to split, which they seemingly enjoyed since they ate everything. Other meals were another chicken parm ('good size serving and taste'), a Chicken Scampi ('very tasty'), the Gnocchi special ('Outstanding') and Chicken Francese ('Very light and tasty'). Both the salads were very fresh and the dressing didn't overpower. My wife had the Lobster Ravioli/salad and said it was excellent. Lightly breaded with a tasty sauce, just how I like it. I had the chicken parm and a house salad. Plenty of warm freshly made bread to go around. Very attentive, always seemed to know when to come in the fray that is our family, even had the kitchen whip up some chocolate milk for the kids. So we decided to chance it when we were planning our day in Boston. Even though L'Osteria doesn't have a traditional children's menu, all of the kids like pasta/sauce/meatballs. We were a party of 13, with 6 children under 7. reservations for 5:30, showed up on time and were seated very quickly. It's a quaint dining establishment that serves the many traditional dishes (Chicken parm, Chicken Scampi) as well as those occasional specials (Gnocchi Bolgnese).

You then simply drag markers back and forth to indicate where you want to switch between your takes. Basically each take is a "clip" (that will make sense to existing Ableton users) and they're grouped as take lanes under the main track in arrangement view. And you can get creative with comping to create harsh glitchy juxtapositions or to just pullout the best parts of a jam.Ĭomping works with both audio and MIDI too, so whether you're trying to nail a vocal, a guitar solo or a complicated chord progression with a VST there's something to be taken advantage of. Plus, this is a feature that many other DAWs have had for quite sometime, so Ableton is actually playing a bit of catch up here. (I can already hear a bunch of purists screaming "that's cheating", but they're wrong.) Now, I'm fully willing to admit my technical skills as a musician are mediocre at best and I can be a bit sloppy, so just being able to record eight takes in a row without stopping is huge. This simply allows you to record multiple takes of the same section of a song without stopping and then combine the best parts easily. The other headlining feature, at least for me, is comping. It's intuitive and simple, and might even convince a few more people to embrace MPE once they've gotten a taste of what it has to offer. These allow you to dive in and manually tweak pitch bends, modulation and aftertouch on a per-note basis, just like you would any other automation lane. You can still take advantage of many of MPE's features even if you don't have a compatible controller by using Ableton's new expression editing tools. ![]() Especially since, in my experience, your settings will need a lot of fine tuning to make the most of MPE and this really simplifies the process. I want to connect my Morph or Roli and just have it work as expected. I don't want to spend an hour building custom mapping for every virtual instrument. This might sound minor, but I think one of the barriers to adoption of MPE controllers is getting them to play nice with non-MPE software. To be clear, you could always do this, but it's just a lot easier to get set up now. So, for example, you could fire up Ableton's Analog, tick a couple of boxes in MPE Control and slide your fingers around to trigger pitch bends and move the mod wheel. MPE Control also lets you take advantage of some of the tools available to you on an MPE controller, even if the instrument you're using doesn't support it. These let you decide how exactly you want various MPE functions to be used and map them quickly and easily. Ableton also included MPE Control and Expression Control devices, which you'll find under MIDI Effects. You can find presets under "MPE Sounds" in the browser if you want to quickly dabble and explore. (They also couldn't be more different from a sonic standpoint.)Ībleton was smart enough to update a few of its stock instruments to support MPE too, like Wavetable and Sampler. I mention those two in particular because they've been my go-to testbeds for exploring MPE. That means instruments that respond to MPE like Arturia's Pigments and sonicLAB's Fundamental can be that much more expressive when paired with the right controller, like the Sensel Morph. Bitwig has it, Logic has it, even Garage band has it. Ableton Live is one of the last major DAWs to add support for MIDI polyphonic expression. Lets start with arguably the marquee feature - MPE support. ![]() ![]() Here's a quick overview of what's new and the standout features (to me). So if your machine was already struggling after the last big update, you might want to wait until you can upgrade your hardware too. And Live 10 was a lot more resource intensive than Live 9. Just know that Live 11 is a bit more resource intensive that Live 10. I've been using the beta since it was announced back in November and while I haven't put every new feature through its paces, I can say unequivocally that Live 11 is a solid upgrade from 10 and well worth your time. That's in addition to lots of little interface tweaks and updates to Push support. The list of new features in Live 11 is long and impressive: Comping linked track editing MPE support expression editing live tempo following macro improvements updated devices and soundpacks five new devices, including a hybrid reverb and new pitch shifting plugin chance tools plus a host of improvements to Max for Live. The latest version of its incredibly popular DAW is out of beta and available to all. Ableton announced Live 11 in mid November and now it's finally here. ![]() I’ve decided to include it with digital clocks because it does use a power source and Raspberry Pi.Īlso, the flip-clock style, popularized in the 1940s, was arguably the basis for the standard digital clock we all know today, so it seems like a fitting entry here.ĭespite the old-fashioned look, this is probably one of the most technologically complex 3D printed clocks on this list. I have to admit I had some trouble deciding where to put this one. Here are some of the best at least partially 3D printed digital clocks for those of you who prefer electronic machinery to analog. ![]() If you’re planning on going a step further and 3D printing a smart clock, then you’re going to need some additional hardware like a Raspberry Pi, so be sure to plan ahead and gather all the parts and tools you’ll need to get your clock working. Though 3D printing a digital clock is tricky, as they do involve wiring and extra parts that will need some careful work to get working. While divisive, digital clocks and watches are here to stay. The advent of the digital clock in 1956 meant that all people could now read time at a glance. Modern technology always means old tools are improved, updated, or changed to be more practical and easier to use. This is by far one of the coolest 3D printed clocks there are, and while it may be a touch noisier than a lot of people would like, its hypnotic movements, impressive design, and free files make it an excellent project to try out for yourself. All of the parts can be printed without supports and fixing everything together is a snap provided you got all the dimensions right. While the designer had anything but an easy time perfecting the mechanism and timing, the printing and assembly is surprisingly easy. It may take some time to learn how to quickly read this one, as the time is read from the bottom up with the lowest shelf representing the hour and the two upper shelves representing the minutes in tens and single digits. It’s like that Mousetrap board game, except this actually works. The ‘marble’ here doesn’t apply to the material, but the object, as the clock uses a rotating mechanism that moves the marbles around and places them automatically into slots that correspond to numbers on the clock. Sometimes you come across an engineering feat that’s so cool it’s impossible to look away, and this Time Rolls On marble clock is just that. This makes the self-winding pendulum clock one of the most practical and educational clocks on this list, ideal for those of you who love to learn while you build. It’s a fascinating read as well as a neat and practical 3D printed clock that teaches you the mechanical workings as it guides you through the printing and assembly process. The most interesting thing about this clock is the detailed description of the mechanism and how it works. Naturally, this became tiresome, and so the self-winding clock was born. The design was born from the initial attempt the designer had to 3D print an analog clock which needed to be wound twice a day. This 3D printed analog clock is similar to the pendulum clock above but with an added twist, where the pendulum clock needs to be wound every week, this self-winding clock can take care of itself and keep accurate time for months without needing any maintenance. ![]() I can’t count how many times I’ve noticed stopped clocks in my friend’s houses that even they haven’t noticed. While winding a clock can be a nice way of reminding yourself that you’re in control, for some it is quite the hassle, and an easily forgotten one too. In many Chevrolets, the transmission "learns" how you drive over time and makes adjustments, so you may experience altered driving dynamics as your car re-learns your driving style after changing the battery.

Their outlooks chimed with much of what I shared around the big issues facing ESG and related communications at the moment: regulation, the need to explain clearly and accurately, the need to provide evidence of value of leadership and the value of maintaining political intelligence at a time of polarisation and constant pot-shotting. He noted Chartered Institute of Marketing survey data that 63 per cent of people in the UK were sceptical about ESG claims, the same number also wanted to hear more from organisations about their goals and achievements.Īnd on greenwashing, he made a case for the law presiding, with greenwashing infringements likely to draw prosecutions that would serve as a lesson to all. Jeremy Cohen, partner at Blurred, described it as a “buckle-up” time for communicators, with empty words and promises having been largely responsible for ESG’s current malaise rather than a failing in the approach to ESG investing or goal-setting.īut he remained hopeful that communications can help to drive ESG - or whatever it involves into - success in the future, albeit after some drastic correction. Meanwhile, Lenovo’s Monica Hauser Wolff, director of Corporate ESG Communications and Global Philanthropy, echoed the requirement for companies to adopt the most important standards, stick to their guns in delivering against commitments and be science-based to give that action credibility. In a panel discussion, Haw-Yan Man, strategic communications lead for the UN Development Programme’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDP) Impact, said that despite ESG’s troubles, the need for commitment to Sustainable Development Goals, and for social action to help sustain environmental change was even more paramount. On the contribution of comms to ESG was likely to see some cold, hard truths set out, given the criticism, political sniping and broad backlash that its purported value has faced this year.īut while there was clear consensus from speakers that ESG as-we-knew-it is going to have to change profoundly to deliver long-term, positive change, there was also room for optimism that ESG’s current facing of its own music would drive positive outcomes in the long-term, despite being battered and bruised today.ĮSG Foundation founder Clive Booth set the scene in outlining how many companies had adopted a specific, personalised approach to ESG reports in particular, to focus content on their most important stakeholders and achievements rather than taking a broader brush. It was meant to be a reality check, and did not disappoint. |
