![]() In western prosodies there is one form with two analogous but different contents. The comparison between two prosodies requires some basic knowledge of both prosodies. Prosody is the science that describes poetry forms called meters or seas (bohor) in Arabic. Is there a better resource for learning about the scansion structure of Arabic poetry? What are the basics of how scansion works in Arabic poetry? I've looked for a better description of this, but searching for "seas arabic poetry" just gave me a list of results which were essentially identical to the above-quoted Wikipedia page. Since seas are made up of taf'ilahs, does that mean it's a taf'ilah which is basically a foot?.Is "seas" really just another word for meter, or is there some significant difference between the "seas" of Arabic poetry and the meter of western poetry?.What does it mean to have fifteen different meters? Meter in poetry is the overall rhythmic structure are the fifteen different things actually feet?.This confused me for a number of reasons. Also, in rhymed poetry, every bayt has to end with the same rhyme ( qāfiyah) throughout the poem. Sometimes adding or removing a consonant or a vowel can shift the bayt from one meter to another. The measuring procedure of a poem is very rigorous. The measuring unit of seas is known as " taf‘īlah", and every sea contains a certain number of taf'ilas which the poet has to observe in every verse ( bayt) of the poem. The meters of the rhythmical poetry are known in Arabic as "seas" ( buḥūr). Al-Akhfash, a student of al-Farahidi, later added one more meter to make them sixteen. The rhymed poetry falls within fifteen different meters collected and explained by al-Farahidi in The Science of ‘Arud. The symbols used forĬlassical prosody are (-) for long syllables, (b) for short syllables,Īnd (u) for syllables of indeterminate length.I was reading about Arabic poetry on Wikipedia, and specifically the description of scansion: Modern scansion was adapted from the classical method of analyzingĪncient Greek and Roman quantitative verse.

Ned Jordan, Secret Agent: May 1941 Broadcast Although frustrated with inactivity, the agent falls in love with a lovely Bolshevik. The Jepisode, "British Agent", tells the story of an agent who is left behind when the British Embassy in Moscow is abandoned during the Russian Revolution. Espionage was a favorite of movie makers. Lux Radio Theater, the long running radio anthology series, was started by adapting Broadway plays for the radio, before turning to Hollywood movies. Lux Radio Theater: British Agent (June 7, 1937) The stories seem somewhat simplistic, especially compared with modern espionage tales, but they are very effective in their 15 minute time frame. Poison gas, Sabotage, Defense secrets, and Suicide Ships are all part of the world of Secret Agent K-7. Agent K-7 is a "former United States secret agent who operated in 22 countries." The stories themselves are the adventures of other agents, B-9 and Agent Z, and their lovely sidekicks, while K-7 narrates the tales. Secret Agent K7 Returns was being produced and broadcast at a time when rumors of war in Europe were swirling. ![]() Secret Agent K7 Returns: Bombing Planes 1939 Tracy fought fanciful inner city hoods, where as the enemies of Dan Dunn were after world domination, or at least sabotaging America's military might. Dunn was a copy of Dick Tracy in many ways, except for the bad guys he chased. Espionage Radio between the World Wars was much more melodramatic than what we are used to today:ĭan Dunn, Secret Operative 48: Sabotage of the Giant Bomberĭan Dunn, Secret Operative 48 was taken almost directly from the funny papers. But Radio Spies have been around much longer than that. Radio came of age during WWII and the early years of the cold war. The Soviet's and their minions were the very evil enemy in I Was a Communist for the F.B.I. Cloak and Dagger's stories took place in both the European and Pacific theaters of WWII. The Counter Spies deal mostly with Nazi's during the War Years, but after the War the enemy becomes drug smugglers, black-marketeers, and eventually Atomic competitors. In the late 30s, when rumors of War were swirling from Europe, the spies chased by Agent K-7 were European, and though enemies of democracy, generally not established as Nazi's.Īs World War II descended on Paris, the couple in Lux Theater's "Winter in Paris" is hiding from not only German agents, but Russian as well. It is interesting and educational to see how the antagonists in Espionage stories change with the times. But audiences and producers would be lost without a showy shootout and a chase scene.Īs players in the competition between states in real life, spies and their stories can be great fodder for propaganda. In reality, spies do all they can to prevent attracting any attention that could give away their identities. Fictional spies are of course, much more colorful than their real life counterparts. The spy in fiction is often a loner, often with a loose hold on morality, often with a greater or lesser degree of ostentation. The Espionage Story, although it takes place on a personal level, is a competition between States, with the protagonist nation being the one the audience most identifies with. For the Spy, the enemy is a sovereign state, or a representative of that state.Īnother essential difference between Espionage fiction and Crime Drama the Crime story is a conflict between the Bad Guys in the form of criminals and the Good Guy Cops or Private Eyes. We know that the Bad Guys motivation stems from evil that is how they got to be Bad Guys in the first place. For the Detective, the danger comes from the Bad Guys that he is pursuing. What makes spies and the detectives such great characters in radio entertainment is the danger that is part of the air that they breathe. And in spite of the cynicism, both are essentially hopeful that their mission will make the world a better place. Both are forced to deal with some of humanities worst specimens, which makes a measure of cynicism part of their make-up. The spies and the detectives in old time radio shows have a lot in common on the surface.

When you click on Shorts, the first video is loaded automatically by the extension. The only downside to using the extension is that you can't browse the Shorts section anymore on YouTube.

I can't use the Internet Recovery method because I think I have an older model and I can't use the Internet Recovery on this model and when I try it just takes me back to the main Utility window. I've also made a new random account just a few hours ago hoping to use that when it asks for an Apple ID but it just tells me that 'this item is temporarily unavailable' but it's installing when I use my original ID, I've tried changing the date through the terminal, hoping maybe that was causing this problem. I'm worried It'll ask for my ID every time they have to update or install anything new on this mac. The problem is that it's asking for an Apple ID at the installation window and I don't want to use my Apple ID because I'm worried it'll cause a problem for the new user in the future. Then I clicked on Reinstall OS X, it takes me to the window telling me to install OS X El Capitan. I went to the Utilities using (command+R) and erased all my data from Macintosh using Disk Utility. I'm giving away my Macbook Pro late 2009 to someone else and I wanted to install it over completely new. Trying to reinstall OS X El Capitan on Macbook Pro late 2009. IF, they are not willing to do that, AM I SCREWED? So, at present I am hoping that the seller who sold me the Mac is kind enough for me to pop round (socially distancing in COVID times) and enter their old user name and password JUST to reload El Capitan. Mrs tried her user name and password as she did a windows office 2008 update, as well as having done previous updates on her 'own' account as the old post said, Apple needed other users with update history. Did a search and found an old post on communities here that I need the original owners ID and user password. When it came to installing OS X on the Mac HDD, my user ID and password entry result in 'Ths item is temporarily unavailable. Went to do a system restore and did that. Mrs who is a Apple Mac 2018 user tried in vain to load updates for Windows 2008.Īnyway, today I decided to sell this Mac on and put it on Ebay. This item is temporarily unavailable - OS X Network Install So, a couple of weeks back I bought an Apple Mac 2009, bought Microsoft office 2008 for Apple Mac 2009 and found that the Max said there is no software to be found on the disc. PLEASE help/offer me (us) another alternative to getting the Apple OS up & running with internet/quick fix option. THIS fix is urgent since I'm dealing with major repairs needed on much newer iMac and MacBook Air. My family started converting to Apple products around 2010 spending thousands and thousands of dollars, with growing problems (for another post). I have a ticket number, and even the high level support tech told me he expects this is a problem on Apple's end! While he is now sending me a disc (FYI to other's which this problem) to manually try it, it will also take several days to arrive. Neither work! SO, what is the FIX when it is NOT a used computer, and I have/using the original Apple ID? Shouldn't there be a website link to download from? Tech support who can remotely access it and override this? I've called in twice. I have tried both several times, over 2 days! I've seen others comment on "buying it used" or "got from family" and the instructions were to use orginal Apple ID, which I've continued trying primarily, intermittently going back to the most recent one used. I have 2 apple IDs, the one I originally used when I bought it (now for kid's devices), and my personal one that was ALSO used on this MacBook for OS updates. Unfortunately I did the 'main' drive, including the Macintosh HD, this worked, was then verified and 'repaired.' I realize this ruined my chance to reinstall Seirra (most recent OS I'd installed), BUT, it also will not allow me to install the oringial OS X Mountain Lion! I am the first and ONLY owner. I am working to reset my 2010 MacBook Pro to Factory Settings. Each manufacturer has different instructions for doing this, and it is wise to follow those instructions as carefully as possible. Proper seat placement may result in almost perfect weight distribution before the weight is added to the kart. The seat placement is the single most important weight adjustment on the kart and is done before the scaling process. If weight is placed lower on the seat, we would expect the kart to lose rear-end grip. For example, if weight is placed high on the seat, we could expect more grip in the rear of the kart. Moving the weight upwards will provide more grip wherever the weight is located. Weight can also be moved vertically up or down. ![]() If weight is moved to the rear of the kart, the effect will be more rear-end grip. Moving weight to the front of the kart will provide more front-end grip. Weight can be moved around at the track to fine tune the handling characteristics of the chassis. These are just recommended starting points. For most karts, the following weight distribution is recommended: An improper weight distribution can also lead to incorrect diagnosis of handling problems at the track. Some common problems of an improperly scaled kart include under-steer, excessive or insufficient load on any one tire, chassis binding, and lack of side bite in cornering among many other problems. The machine will never perform at its optimum level, nor will it respond positively to chassis adjustments. If the kart is not scaled properly, the opposite will be true. ![]() As a result, the kart will have the potential to perform at its optimum level. When the kart is scaled properly, the ideal weight distribution is achieved. Scaling the kart is perhaps the most important thing a driver or team can do to ensure proper handling of their machine.

![]() ![]() While the original N64 release got the E rating it probably deserved, follow ups Melee and Brawl were somehow bumped up to a T rating. The game got a T rating despite what one Digital Press forum-goer describes as scenes of “a disemboweled dog, maggots eating a rotting corpse, a decapitated man with visible trachea and esophagus in the neck, and implications towards strippers and prostitution.” But Night Trap, which helped inspire the ESRB’s creation, showed slumber party girls in nighties, which is obviously much worse. Just after the ESRB was officially formed, it faced one of its first tests in Hideo Kojima’s gritty Sega CD crime adventure. Here’s a chronological collection of some of the most baffling ESRB ratings decisions we’ve come across over the years, ranging from too lenient to too harsh to just plain hilarious. Still, among the thousands of ESRB ratings issued over the years, there are quite a few that have us wondering what the group was thinking. Despite some concerns surrounding transparency and rating methodology, the industry-wide self-regulation of the ESRB has been a boon to those trying to hold off continual efforts at government restrictions on game content and sales. The ESRB should also be commended for educating the public about the meaning of its ratings-73 percent of parents say they check ratings before buying games, according to the ESRB-and of getting retailers to comply with voluntary age-based sales restrictions-87 percent of stores refused to sell M-rated games to minors in a 2011 FTC investigation. Since then, the organization has taken on the Herculean task of assigning a content-based age rating to practically every commercial video game released in the United States.įor the most part, the organization has done an admirable job of accurately evaluating the content of thousands of games based on brief video montages provided by publishers. On September 16, 1994, the newly formed Entertainment Software Rating Board handed out its first ratings certificates, including its first M rating for the 32X version of Doom. |
