In Britain at least, the Nightingale is a skulking bird of the understory. The vociferous song is of course in complete opposition to their observability. The song of the Nightingale has been famously celebrated for thousands of years, by writers, poets and musicians all across Europe. There are probably very few species with a more prodigious claim to world's greatest songster, certainly not if based purely upon cultural connotations. Next up, the glorious Nightingale, a bird with a reputation for song like no other. The satisfaction to be gained from identifying birds by song (and calls) really can't be overemphasised - it's truly a window into another world.ġ0# Nightingale ( Luscinia megarhynchos ) The complexities of bird song may not be easy to get to grips with, but why not take the time to learn. Enjoy the chorus as it widens, as Wren, Starling, Chaffinch and Dunnock join in. As you wake in the morning, during these times of increased isolation, take a moment to notice the birds who break the morning silence, the Robin, the Blackbird and perhaps the Song Thrush. This serves not only to attract a mate but also to deter rivals. Each day, prior to the sun's appearance above the horizon, birds begin to advertise their presence, demonstrating their strength and ability in song. In this series of blogs I'm going to be exploring the wonderful world of bird song (with calls thrown in for good measure!) There's surely little more calming to human ears than the annual serenade of spring song.

I also knew that one of Lindisfarne’s biggest hits Lady Eleanor was based on a short story by Edgar Allan Poe called The Fall of the House of Usher – a book Alan had read when he was working at the hospital. I knew that while he worked there, he wrote some of his best-known early songs. For a couple of months, it felt like I was getting nowhere, then, from somewhere in the recesses of my memory, I remembered that I had once heard that in the 1960s Alan Hull had worked as a psychiatric nurse at St Nicholas’ Hospital in Newcastle. The question was: where to begin? My first idea, about a young woman searching for her Dad, didn’t work out. Lindisfarne was the first band I ever saw play live back in the 1970s (supported by Rab Noakes and a band called Genesis…) and I have always dearly loved their music. Local singers, Jim Lafferty,Bob Halley,Singers from Elie Club.I couldn’t believe my luck when Max Roberts asked me whether I might be interested in writing a new play for Live Theatre using the songs of Alan Hull.

We have been wanting to do this for a long time and we hope this will bring back memories, even the ones when singers didn't turn up, and Matt McGinn fell asleep on the train, woke up in Arbroath and got to the Woodlands in time to do his second set!Ģ7/3/63- First big night. I speak for Willie and myself in saying that these were nine years we will always remember with great affection (not these days always accurately)! Luckily Willie and I kept diaries from the beginning and most of the dates are fairly accurate. Also the truth was the interest in folk music nationally was waning. We would have had to increase the door prices to 5/- 25p to keep it running. The reason the club was closed was because of the increase in fees of many of the artistes. We were not really a traditional music club and many people in the folk scene objected to this but we provided entertainment right up until the very last night. Willie continued as compere and a friend of ours Bob Clarke acted as doorman. I took over when Eric gave up the committee and The Inn Folk were born when Ally Lowden joined us on bass, eventually being replaced by Allan Barty on fiddle and mandolin. Eric Denovan did all the bookings initially. Willie and I continued as resident group, eventually taking over the running of it. If I have forgotten anyone please remind me. The people that I can remember who were at that first meeting in Ann St School included David Smith, Willie Whyte, yours truly Russ Paterson, Colin Speed, Robin McKidd and I think possibly Chris Rattray. The list of performers and dates will tell the story regarding various venues over the years until our final venue in Woodlands Hotel. Willie Whyte was the compere that night and for the next 9 years he became adept at maintaining absolute silence when guests and local singers were performing. The name can still be seen in tiles on the pavement, although it's now a student residence.Īrchie duly arrived that evening and brought along Bert Jansch, Jill Guest, Josh MacRae, Maurice Frankel and Pete Shepherd, along with our local singers. We decided to hire The Royal British Hotel at the top of Castle St. The next step was a meeting in Ann St school, which was to be the headquarters until the 20 or so people who turned up, saved up enough money to afford a guest singer! At 2/6 a week each it didn't take us too long to save up for the only folksinger we knew then, Archie Fisher! Our policy then and throughout the years of the club was to make sure we had money to pay for the guest and venue before he/she was booked. The Dundee Folksong Club as it was then called, started with an ad in the local paper appealing for interested parties to contact a phone number. The P-wave gets progressively farther ahead of the S-wave as they travel through Earth’s crust. P-waves have speeds of 4 to 7 km/s, and S-waves correspondingly range in speed from 2 to 5 km/s, both being faster in more rigid material. Both components of earthquakes travel slower in less rigid material, such as sediments. For that reason, the speed of longitudinal or pressure waves (P-waves) in earthquakes in granite is significantly higher than the speed of transverse or shear waves (S-waves). The bulk modulus of granite is greater than its shear modulus. Earthquakes have both longitudinal and transverse components, and these travel at different speeds. Table 17.4 Speed of Sound in Various MediaĮarthquakes, essentially sound waves in Earth’s crust, are an interesting example of how the speed of sound depends on the rigidity of the medium. Because liquids and solids are relatively rigid and very difficult to compress, the speed of sound in such media is generally greater than in gases. The speed of sound in air is low, because air is compressible. This observation is analogous to the fact that the frequency of a simple harmonic motion is inversely proportional to the mass of the oscillating object. The greater the density of a medium, the slower the speed of sound. This observation is analogous to the fact that the frequency of a simple harmonic motion is directly proportional to the stiffness of the oscillating object. The more rigid (or less compressible) the medium, the faster the speed of sound. The speed of sound in a medium is determined by a combination of the medium’s rigidity (or compressibility in gases) and its density. Table 17.4 makes it apparent that the speed of sound varies greatly in different media. The relationship of the speed of sound, its frequency, and wavelength is the same as for all wavesįigure 17.9 A sound wave emanates from a source vibrating at a frequency f, f, propagates at Similar arguments hold that a large instrument creates long-wavelength sounds. So a small instrument creates short-wavelength sounds. High pitch means small wavelength, and the size of a musical instrument is directly related to the wavelengths of sound it produces. Small instruments, such as a piccolo, typically make high-pitch sounds, while large instruments, such as a tuba, typically make low-pitch sounds. The wavelength of sound is not directly sensed, but indirect evidence is found in the correlation of the size of musical instruments with their pitch. You can also directly sense the frequency of a sound. The flash of an explosion is seen well before its sound is heard, implying both that sound travels at a finite speed and that it is much slower than light. You can observe direct evidence of the speed of sound while watching a fireworks display. Sound, like all waves, travels at a certain speed and has the properties of frequency and wavelength. Sound travels more slowly than light does. An airplane flying less than Mach 1 is traveling at subsonic speeds, faster than Mach 1 would be supersonic speeds and Mach 2 would be twice the speed of sound.Figure 17.8 When a firework explodes, the light energy is perceived before the sound energy. Mach 1 is the speed of sound, which is approximately 760 miles per hour at sea level. At sea level, at a temperature of 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) and under normal atmospheric conditions, the speed of sound is 344 m/s (1238 km/h or 770 mph). The term is commonly used to refer specifically to the speed of sound in air. In particular, for dry air at a temperature of 0 ☌ (32 ☏), the modern value for the speed of sound is 331.29 metres (1,086.9 feet) per second. Speed of sound, speed at which sound waves propagate through different materials. Now, we have got the complete detailed explanation and answer for everyone, who is interested! This is a question our experts keep getting from time to time.
He can’t double jump and even dodging had a shorter timer than other characters. He is the most technical one around and the usual actions I would have performed with other characters was tougher to pull off and often not available. Vergil, while sounding badass on paper, is a tough character to master. This transforms Vergil into his demon form and unlocks crazy new combos and buffs all existing attacks making them even more powerful. He can also transform into his demon form by using his Sin Devil Trigger which is refilled by using his Devil Trigger and pressing L1 to move energy from one bar to the other. If you thought Vergil was out of tricks then think again. Enemies defeated in the attack also drop health orbs which is a great help too. The attack kind of reminds of an “ultimate” in role-playing games whereas he stands there and things just go all crazy around him. V then does a devastating attack that uses all of his summonses. Vergil can also stab himself with a sword which switches places with V. This is the opposite of other characters that thrive on jumping around and performing insane combos without ever stopping. He focuses on staying calm and for the most part, standing still in combat which charges his concentration bar. There’s a lot of fun to be had here when playing as the returning character. The addition of Vergil just elevates this to another level. I always admired how Capcom managed to develop so many great characters in Devil May Cry 5 and deliver in-depth combat styles for each. In short, Vergilis yet another fantastic character to play as throughout the game’s main campaign. His Devil Trigger summons a clone that wields the Yamato and mimics the moves you perform as Vergil during combat too. He has three weapons to choose from, the Yamato blade, Beowolf gauntlet and the Mirage Edge which replaces the Force Edge. Not only did it bring someone new to pay as but his weapons and combat style varied from the characters already available. For the most part, the Virgil DLC was a welcome new addition to the main game. This DLC pack let you play the entire game as Vergil. Not only to it deliver some changes to its already-fantastic visceral combat system but the game was built on the stunning RE Engine which delivered some gorgeous visuals across environments, characters and the disgusting enemies.ĭevil May Cry 5: Special Edition is a current-gen (meaning PS5 and Xbox Series X) exclusive and comes with all the DLC released for the original game including the Vergil content.

In another room, she pulled out two drawers filled with neatly folded clothes saved for her daughter’s child, due in January. Insulation had burst through the ceiling and fallen in tufts over one bedroom. The pecan tree that long shaded her front yard had cracked and fallen in front of the front door. When Lavergne parked outside the house she shares with her husband, a duplex just north of the train tracks bisecting the city, several family members began to pray and wipe away tears. She was worried about how her home had fared, but also where everyone would sleep Sunday night. The family was visiting the homes where they each lived for the first time since the storm, assessing what they had lost and what had been spared.ĭriving the pickup was 53-year-old Patricia Mingo Lavergne. One silver pickup truck winding through Lake Charles’ streets carried four generations of a single family - six people inside the cab and three riding on the flatbed along with suitcases and bags filled with belongings. “I’m just going to sit here and do what I can do,” he said. He said he was out of medication for his heart and kidneys and had requested aid from FEMA - but not heard back. The 56-year-old's shirt was off, revealing scars from the open-heart surgery he had several years ago. Townley lay on a sofa in front of a fan - connected to a neighbor's generator - circulating hot, humid air. The front of his trailer had been blown away, leaving a single toilet exposed to the elements. But James Townley said he would remain in his home, as he did during the storm. In Lake Charles, many people in were still staying outside town. RELATED: 'Glass falling everywhere': Video, images show damage in the aftermath of Hurricane Laura There were an estimated $200 million in insured losses in the Caribbean, the company estimates. That includes wind and storm surge damage to residential, commercial and industrial properties and automobiles, Karen Clark & Co. will be near $9 billion, according to projections from a Boston-based disaster modeling firm. The association said roughly 409,000 customers were still without power late Sunday as a result of the storm. Several residents Sunday said the water supply was still intermittent.Ĭrews will have to rebuild hundreds of transmission towers along with resetting downed power poles and lines, clearing debris and assessing damage, said Scott Aaronson, vice president of security and preparedness for the Edison Electric Institute, the association of investor-owned electric companies in the U.S. The entire parish had been without power, and in many areas, including the parish seat of Lake Charles that's home to more than 78,000 people, water had not been flowing from taps, he said. In hard-hit Calcasieu Parish, some waited hours in line for tarps, water and other supplies at distribution sites, said parish spokesperson Tom Hoefer. The Louisiana National Guard, meanwhile, had handed out hundreds of thousands of bottles of water and meals and about 14,000 tarps, the governor said.īut the needs were substantial. As of Sunday, more than 52,500 people had applied for FEMA assistance, and the agency had conducted over 200 home inspections and distributed more than $650,000 in assistance, said Tony Robinson, FEMA's administrator for the region. The Federal Emergency Management Agency sent hundreds of workers to the region to help with search and rescue and other efforts.

You can make the same dishes without bleaching the oil, but the taste will be very different. Why bleach palm oil in the first place? Palm oil is bleached because some very traditional dishes rely on bleached palm oil for their unique flavors. It involves heating the palm oil till it loses its red color (and turns a light orange hue).
