According to Adobe if your fonts are up today with the unicode regulations, you might not have any problem typeing in Chinese. In InDesign 2.0.1ÑI hope you have that versionÑfixed the problem.

And to remedy the lack of Asian support I wrote some scripts. I now have all Asian versions of Pagemaker and of Quark but work in InDesign vanilla 2.0.1 and ME. Well I had to buy Quark Asian versions after all. I chose Pagemaker over Quark because Pagemaker is cheaper. I never earned my money back from this expensive debacle. I had to check every line carefully every time I printed. Imagine sending such files to a service bureau. That is, a page printed twice could have holes in it one time and print fine the next time. It inconsistently dropped characters from pages without any warning. Although it is made especially for these languages it was a nightmare to work with it. I myself have licenses of Pagemaker Japanese, Chinese and Korean. Vanilla InDesign imports text as Unicode only.Īntonina, don't go with Pagemaker. With these editions you can import any kind of text from Word and a few other word processors. For that you need the special edition ID 1.5.2 ME or CE from Winsoft France. This works too for any language actually Cyrrilic, Hungarian and the like. a line can begin with a period or a comma or whatever. It works but you have no automatic control over punctuation and the like, i.e. Yes you can work with Any PC font in ID2 but you have to put them either in a font folder named "Fonts" in the InDesign folder or in the Fonts folder of the Adobe folder found inside the Application support folder of the System folder. If you see weird or pink squares the majority of the characters and not supported, you could try schanging it to the font installed by the ALK and see if the text looks different.Īny how let me know if I can be of any assistance. Import some text and change the font to the one you are testing. If you want I can try your fonts, just send one set of the family you have: you have the demo version, install the fonts inside the fonts folder in the InDesign Folder, next time you start InDesign you should be able to see the font in the menu. I have done several projects in Chinese, Korean and Japanese and beside the work around I am veery happy on the results. Ihave not done any Cyrillic projects, but I can check if that will work, just let me know where I can find some smaples of their characters. All the editing hs to be done either in Microsoft Word or Simple Text (EditText in OS 10.x). If I use the Chinese and Korean fonts that were installed with the Apple Langugage Kits, I can typeset the text, but not imput. Adobe still working with some issues supporting Chinese/Korean Characters when imputing text into InDesign. ![]()

![]() ![]() here's a question that hopefully you or maybe Tom (should he decide to migrate over here) can answer:Īt what speed were the Western Electric and Vitaphone discs recorded and reproduced? One YouTube user says they were recorded at 33 and 1/3 and pressed on vinyl which makes sense, as many radio broadcast transcription discs used by NBC and CBS were recorded in that fashion. including some "demo" videos of different projectors from the period. I was browsing YouTube yesterday and there appear to be quite a few examples in this format uploaded by various users. A tiny group of hardcore 9.5mm collectors still operates to this day. It was very popular in Europe and Great Britain until way after WWII, when the rise of Kodak's color 8mm film doomed it. Voila! The frame size was almost identical to 16mm (and far bigger than the later 8mm). So in a brilliant move they DID AWAY with the edge sprockets and moved the sprocket holes to a single CENTRAL hole on the frame-line BETWEEN each frame. So in an innovative analysis it was decided by Pathe that the BIG percent of the film devoted to the edge sprocket holes was truly wasted EXPENSIVE film (for the home user). ![]() The genesis of it was that the cost of "amateur" 16mm film collecting was just TOO high for authentic home movie collectors in the 1920's and beyond. The 9.5mm film format was actually a pretty clever idea. I'm not too familiar with the format, but hopefully other Betty Boops and other NOn-Popeye Paramount Cartoons were transferred to this format during the thirties and exist today somewhere. The poster of the videos state that these cartoons are from a 9.5mm Pathescope film. The end titles on both films feature an iris from the cartoon into the Paramount Logo used Betty Boop and Grampy featured a Paramount logo with the words "The End" super-imposed over it, while "Betty Boop's Halloween Party" featured the ink bottle end titles, as you will see in the youtube links. The opening credits to Betty Boop and Grampy and the transaction used in between the "Betty Boop and Grampy" title to the director credits, featured at 0:15, is extremely interesting to see. After looking at the videos I am honestly convinced that these are original, not recreated, opening and closing titles to the cartoons. ![]() Here is an interesting youtube find: copies of "Betty Boop and Grampy" and "Betty Boop's Halloween Party" with the original opening and end titles. ![]() ![]() Historically, wooden planks tied using rope were used to build walls. ![]() Formwork plays an important role in building rammed earth walls. The form must be durable and well braced, and the two opposing faces must be clamped together to prevent bulging or deformation caused by the large compressing forces. The construction of an entire wall begins with a temporary frame, the "formwork", which is usually made of wood or plywood, as a mold for the desired shape and dimensions of each section of wall. In modern rammed earth buildings, the walls are constructed on top of conventional footings or a reinforced concrete slab base. ![]() Cement-stabilised rammed earth is cured for a minimum period of 28 days. The compressive strength of rammed earth increases as it cures. This is necessary if a surface texture is to be applied, e.g., by wire brushing, carving, or mold impression, because the walls become too hard to work after approximately one hour.

Tamping was historically manual with a long ramming pole by hand, but modern construction systems can employ pneumatically-powered tampers.Ī typical Hmong house-building technique in the subtropical climate of Vietnam. The soil is compacted iteratively, in batches or courses, so as to gradually erect the wall up to the top of the formwork. Soil mix is poured into the formwork to a depth of 10 to 25 cm (4 to 10 in) and then compacted to approximately 50% of its original volume. Historically, additives such as lime or animal blood were used to stabilize it. Making rammed earth involves compacting a damp mixture of subsoil that has suitable proportions of sand, gravel, clay, silt and stabilizer, if any, into a formwork (an externally supported frame or mold). The process Traditional model of construction of a wall of rammed earth on a foundation The French term "pisé de terre" or "terre pisé" was sometimes used in English for architectural uses, especially in the 19th century. The availability of suitable soil and a building design appropriate for local climatic conditions are the factors that favour its use. Įdifices formed of rammed earth are on every continent except Antarctica, in a range of environments including temperate, wet, semiarid desert, montane, and tropical regions. It has been especially used in Central Asia and Tibetan art, and sometimes in China. Under its French name of pisé it is also a material for sculptures, usually small and made in molds. It is an ancient method that has been revived recently as a sustainable building method. Rammed earth is a technique for constructing foundations, floors, and walls using compacted natural raw materials such as earth, chalk, lime, or gravel.

Like a metronome, the automated tracks insist on a steady beat but the styles are much more inspiring for playing along. You still have to decide if the inbuild mics of the H1 are sufficient to record your bass. You only need the pricy (about 50,-) camera connection kit from apple to connect the H1 to the iPad or iPhone.

A charging door on the driver's side front fender is another cue that this Lightning is a little different, and these aerodynamic-looking wheels are telltales, too. The Lightning features a solid grille insert rather than one designed to flow air through a radiator, and the truck also features an illuminated bar that runs from headlamp to headlamp. The Lightning also shares the same aluminum cab and bed with combustion-powered F-150s, which means almost any accessories offered for conventional models should fit without issue.Ī few visual tweaks separate this rig from its fossil-fuel-burning mainstream linemates. Not only that, Ford claims this truck was subjected to the same rigorous durability testing as other gas and diesel F-Series pickups, so theoretically at least, it should be just as rugged. Just as importantly, it wraps it all in an inoffensive, decidedly familiar-looking package at a shockingly low price.Įven though the Lightning features a futuristic electric powertrain, it's still an F-150, right down to its stout, ladder-style frame. That sounds hyperbolic, but here's how: The Lightning promises loads of innovative features, impressive performance both on road and off, plus more capability than you'd probably ever expect from an EV. When Ford's F-150 Lightning goes on sale next year, this EV could single-handedly revolutionize not only the nascent all-electric pickup segment, it might just upend a significant portion of America's truck market. I've had a look in and around this battery-powered behemoth - heck, I've even had an early ride-along - and I'm here to tell you why this F-Series is such a big deal.

Messi mania in US ahead of MLS debut for Inter Miami ![]() ![]() ![]() As is his wont, Robinson somehow made this band sound harder and catchier all at once.īeyond his sonic hallmarks, Robinson has a “folklore” about him - “He’s gonna get the drummer kicked out or replaced, and he’s gonna make the singer cry,” Bolm explained on a recent episode of the hardcore podcast Axe To Grind - and his legendarily rigorous studio tactics were just as important to Touché Amoré’s creative process. Yet Lament also finds the band venturing off in ambitious new directions, such as the rich swells of pedal steel and arena-ready “whoa-oh” backing vocals that buoy “A Broadcast” to the horizon line, or the major-key chord progression that makes “Reminders” the first Touché Amoré song you might accurately describe as zippy. He did the same for Touché Amoré here, scaling back the bleary emotional fog that hung over their prior album and presenting the band at its leanest and most ferocious, so that each snare crack, guitar riff, and vocal take lands with visceral force. Not that he was exactly vague about his feelings on Stage Four, but Bolm may be particularly focused on clear communication this time around due to the influence of Ross Robinson, the veteran producer known for drawing a thunderous sonic violence out of everyone from nu-metal pioneers Korn and Slipknot to this band’s post-hardcore forebears At The Drive-In and Blood Brothers. “I talk myself out of myself/ When I’m overwhelmed,” he confesses on “Reminders.” “Is there a way to feel free/ Without being someone else?” As “Feign” shifts into high gear, he howls, “I say the wrong thing at the perfect time!” On the blistering album opener “Come Heroine,” with Trapped Under Ice and Angel Du$t’s Justice Tripp in tow, Bolm expresses gratitude for a woman who helped show him the way forward, but not without self-deprecation: “And I’m just a risk/ A colossal near miss/ Prone to resist what is best for me.” He even shouts out the depressive Counting Crows classic “Round Here” as “an almost perfect song” on “Exit Row,” as if to accentuate what pervasive adversaries his sadness and defeatism have become. Bolm had to fight hard for whatever healing he’s experienced, and you can hear that struggle in every track. That’s true to a point, but the album is not exactly a pivot to optimism. ![]() Lament is billed as the light at the end of that tunnel, the sound of Touché Amoré finding some kind of hope in this world. “I asked your god, ‘How could you?!’ but never heard an answer.” Elsewhere he turned that accusatory finger back at himself: “She passed away about an hour ago/ While you were onstage living the dream.” Bolm’s brutally honest reflections played like a tour through the many kinds of darkness that can arise when a loved one dies, lending new depth and power to an already formidable band. “You died at 69 with a body full of cancer,” he railed at one point. As his bandmates continued to hone in on a sweet spot between careening full-speed-ahead punk and grand post-rock atmospherics, Bolm poured his heart out with uncommon urgency. It was a devastating, enthralling record, heavy in every sense. Four years ago, on the Los Angeles band’s harrowing career pinnacle Stage Four, Bolm addressed a subject worthy of all his ardor and severity: His mother’s death from cancer and the grief that followed. As he himself admits at the peak of “Savoring,” one of Lament‘s most intense tracks: “I’ve never been too subtle!” Bolm interrogates his own neuroses a lot on these fiery new songs, and he rarely leaves us guessing about where his head’s at. “Been a faulty poet, a personal arsonist/ A last responder to my own self interest,” he self-analyzes on “Deflector,” an early taste of Touché Amoré’s new album Lament that emerged more than a year ago. The genre tends toward heart-on-sleeve sloganeering that renders a singer’s interior life in biting, memorable outbursts, and Bolm supplies them in abundance. ![]() ![]() With Touché Amoré, he traffics in a harsh, combustible form of post-hardcore in which emotions run hot and melodrama is a renewable resource. Seems to me Bolm’s intentions usually come through loud and clear. “But even with this silence, my voice can be misheard.” “It’s that special kind of quiet where one might be concerned,” sings Jeremy Bolm in a softened version of his blunt, frantic bark.

Finally, if you're serving guests, only salt half the rim (on the outside, not the inside), so they have the option to partake. Also, you probably want to stick to the clear, 100-percent agave tequila (also known as blanco), as opposed to the brown stuff, which tends to weigh the drink down. There are, however, a few ways to screw up a perfectly good margarita that you should studiously avoid: First of all, substitute Cointreau for triple sec, which is (sadly) still used by many bars and most brands of which, made from artificial flavoring and high-fructose corn syrup, are "so disgusting I would not willingly put them in my body," according to Wondrich. If you plan on adding a twist to garnish your cocktaila great idea make the lemon twist before you juice the lemon. A single lemon should yield about 1 3/4 ounces, more than enough for two drinks. For the best sidecar, freshly squeezed lemon juice is a must. I'm going to get wild now." If they do, it probably has more to do with the power of suggestion than anything that's actually in the glass. Lemon juice: The final component of a classic sidecar is lemon juice. They're all pretty tasty." There's also the drink's exotic allure, which persists even today. "It's a very forgiving drink: on the rocks, straight-up. Other tequila cocktails have gone in and out of vogue - most recently, the Paloma - but the margarita remains by far the most popular of its kind.Ī large part of its appeal is its sheer drinkability: It's an easy, refreshing delivery vehicle for tequila, and one that's hard to screw up. I don't think there's been a drink invented since that has reached that status." The margarita's origins are still murky - one theory goes that it was invented by an Irish bartender in Tijuana - but it's clear that the drink became popular among American tourists in Mexico in the 1930s during Prohibition (as opposed to those other classic drinks, which were invented before Prohibition), and by the 1960s, it was a bar standard on either side of the border. There are only a few more that everyone agrees is a classic: the Old Fashioned, the Manhattan, the Sidecar, the daiquiri. "It's sort of the last hired guy - the last indispensable cocktail. ![]() So we called up Esquire drinks correspondent David Wondrich, who didn't seem entirely clear on the holiday, either ("the things we worry about in this nation."), for a little instruction.Īs it turns out, the margarita is worth celebrating, and not just for the obvious reason that "it's really delicious," as Wondrich says. We're still not really sure who came up with it or why, but we'll save the tirade on corporate marketing, because we actually really like margaritas, despite not knowing very much about them. You probably didn't know that today is National Margarita Day. The most classic of tequila cocktails needs no update, so herein is some previously-dispensed wisdom from Esquire drinks correspondent David Wondrich on how to make one truly great.
