![]() You can also resize the Windows VM window arbitrarily (as you can on Chrome OS) and run it full screen (ditto). This means you can just use the Mac normally and then run Windows apps-which can be searched for just like Mac apps and pinned in the Dock-normally. Unlike on Chrome OS, where you can only run Windows VMs in a window, the M1-based version already supports advanced features like Coherence. Since I’m familiar with Parallels, I’m impressed by what I see here. In any event, after adding the WOA VM to Parallels and activating the technical preview (using a code that Parallels provides when you sign-up), Parallels configures the environment and then boots into WOA for the first time. I credit both Apple, for its high-quality M1 transition, and Parallels, for its own engineering, for this. And as it turns out, there is one way to use Parallels Desktop on an M1-based Mac with Windows: You can download an Insider Preview version of Windows 10 on ARM (WOA).ĭespite this being an early preview, things work as expected, assuming you’re familiar with Parallels Desktop, and aside from the Windows Insider requirement, the whole thing already seems really polished. But what we’re really interested in, of course, is Windows. Yeah, that’s a pretty small field of choices, and I can only imagine the issues people would have trying to run an ARM-based version of Linux right now in the technical preview. Instead, it can only run ARM-based virtual machines (VMs). Most notably, you can not use it to run x86/圆4-based versions of Windows (or Linux, or whatever) at the moment. And I use virtualization to capture screenshots of Windows during Setup for the Windows 10 Field Guide.Īnyway, the Parallels Desktop technical preview release for M1-based Macs is an early look at the work that Parallels is doing to adapt to Apple’s new architecture. They’re used in help desk and support scenarios. In addition to running Windows productivity apps, developers use virtualization to test native and web apps on other platforms and browsers. (It’s supposed to come to Chrome OS in the future as well.)īut there are lots of other reasons why one might want to use a virtualization solution on whatever platform. Coherence is a big reason why I prefer Parallels over other Mac-based virtualization solutions. This lets you run those Windows apps side-by-side under macOS, as if they were native apps, and not in an OS/desktop window that is visually isolated from the rest of the system. But one key benefit of Parallels, at least for those using virtualization to solve that “last mile” problem of running one or a handful of key Windows applications, is its Coherence feature. There are pros and cons to both approaches, of course. But some are traditional client-installed virtualization solutions like Parallels Desktop, which is starting to make its way to Chrome OS now in addition to the Mac. Some are cloud-based, like Microsoft’s coming Cloud PC offering. We’ll get to that.Īnd with the shift away from Windows as the center of personal computing, we’re starting to see more solutions for running Windows applications on new platforms, many of which are mobile. In the near future, it’s Windows (and presumably Linux) on Apple Silicon (M1). Back in the day, that meant emulating Intel-based (x86) Windows on PowerPC-based Macs. I used Connectix Virtual PC, which was later purchased by Microsoft, back in the early days of OS X almost 20 years ago before moving on to more modern solutions like VMWare Fusion and then Parallels Desktop.Īnd anytime there’s a processor architecture change, these things get even more interesting. ![]() ![]() Virtualization has long been important on the Mac, primarily because of the app gap, a situation that is a lot less problematic today. Aside from the usual product updates, the big news this year was that Parallels had been featured in Apple’s M1 chipset reveal, and I was quite curious to know what that would look like.īut there’s a rich history to consider here. I met (wait for it, virtually) with Parallels ahead of the launch of Parallels Desktop 16 this past fall, and before Apple shipped macOS Big Sur.

The Dark Ones, as well as the Blanks, are able to hold Ichigo off, but he soon receives assistance from various captains and officers of the Gotei 13, allowing him to locate Senna on his own. Ganryū stops him and engages Ichigo into battle, along with the rest of the Dark Ones. However, Ichigo interrupts the process and attempts to save Senna. Ganryū materializes a sword and begins directing the Blanks towards Senna, so he can draw the Soul Society and the Human World into a collision with each other. He further explains that the memories of the Blanks condense into a single object known as the Shinenju and returns to the Human World, and he explains that the Senna is the Shinenju. Ganryū explains the history of his clan to Senna, as well as the nature of the Blanks. Senna regains consciousness after being placed in the center of the Valley of Screams, and demands to know what Ganryū and the Dark Ones plan to do with her. ![]() Ichigo begins to lose consciousness and plummets from the sky, allowing Ganryū and the Dark Ones to escape from the Shinigami. Ichigo uses his Bankai's speed to bypass the other Dark Ones and close in on Ganryū, but Ganryū uses a concealed spear to impale Ichigo. However, before he can depart, Ichigo activates his Bankai and confronts them alone. He then uses the Blanks as bombs, effectively distracting the Shinigami. Jūshirō Ukitake identifies Ganryū and his followers as the fallen Ryōdoji Family however, Ganryū denies having any knowledge of Ukitake's claims and identifies his group as the Dark Ones. However, Ganryū easily incapacitates her, and the Dark Ones withdraw from their respective fights. Determined to prove herself as a Shinigami, Senna tries to attack Ganryū. When Senna begins to realize that she is the Shinenju, Ganryū leads the Dark Ones to ambush the Gotei 13, who have come to take Senna into custody. Ganryū captures Senna and impales Ichigo. Later, Ganryū orders Jai to bring Senna to him, but he is unable to do so, due to interference from Ichigo Kurosaki. As Senna quickly kills the Blanks, Ganryū and his group leave. Ganryū arrives in the Human World, along with Jai and Mue, and observes Senna using her Shikai to kill the large group of hostile Blanks within the vicinity. Ganryū and his followers eventually learned how to use the Blanks as a source of their power. Within the Valley of Screams, they discovered existence of Blanks, which were souls without memories. Ganryū and his clan wandered throughout the Dangai, until they uncovered the Valley of Screams. However, they were exiled from the Soul Society 1000 years ago, forcing them to reside in the Dangai. Ganryū was once a member of the Ryōdoji Family. ![]() Overall, Ganryū holds a great amount of bitterness and hatred towards the Soul Society for exiling his clan, determined to destroy it at all costs. He is also very arrogant, underestimating his opponents' abilities, even taunting them in battle. Ganryū also holds no regards for manners or formalities, seeing them as irrelevant to fulfilling his objectives. Ganryū is calm and observant, able to watch a battle unfold between his subordinates and the Gotei 13 without any sense of fear or dread. He also has a scar from his forehead, traced diagonally down to the corner of his jaw. ![]() He is fairly tall and also has long white hair that reaches down past his shoulders. He also wears a long black cape, with a red interior, and what looks like gold frill from his waist, connected to his red obi belt-like sash. Ganryū wears the same form of armor the other Dark One's wear, only with gold bordering on his as opposed to red. ![]() The visual poetry of the shows was essentially the work of two artists, the director Mansi Stycz and stage designer Anna-Liisa Tarvainen. Teatteri Mukamas (Mukamas Theatre) was founded in 1979 in Tampere. Later, its artistic director, Kristiina Hurmerinta, and the Polish puppeteer Anna Proszkowska, created a second company, Pandoran Näyttämö (Pandora´s Stage), an avant-garde visual theatre aimed at adult audiences. In the western coastal city of Vaasa the bilingual Teatteri Peukalopotti/Teatern Tummetott (Little Thumb Theatre) was established in 1976. Nukketeatteri Sampo (Puppet Theatre Sampo) was founded in Helsinki in 1977 by Maija Barič and Bojan Barič, both graduates of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague. The company created many new plays for puppets, some of which were regularly performed in the Finnish National Theatre in Helsinki. Teatteri Hevosenkenkä (Horseshoe Theatre) was established in Espoo in 1975 by director Kirsi Aropaltio (today Kirsi Siren) and stage designer Sara Siren. Her successor was Ulla Raitahalme until 2004, when the theatre was closed. She was its artistic director until the 1990s. In 1971, director Sirppa Sivori-Asp (1928-2006) was one of the founders of Nukketeatteri Vihreä Omena (Green Apple Puppet Theatre), the first truly professional puppet theatre company in Finland which was active for more than thirty years. The 1970s saw the foundation of five professional puppet theatre companies. The 1970s to the PresentĬertain persistent women artists were responsible for the success of the puppet theatre, until then regarded as the poor relation of the performing arts. The Kasper-teatteri (Kasper Theatre), related to its central European cousins, was founded in the 1960s by Irja Ranin (1939-1995) and Matti Ranin (1926-2013) in addition to playing in conventional venues, it appeared on children’s television, Niksulan TV, for nearly thirty years. Leo’s poetic performances, rooted in her humanist interpretation of fairy tales, were performed internationally. Mona Leo (1903-1989) instituted the Helsingfors Dockteater-Helsingin Nukketeatteri (Helsinki Puppet Theatre) in 1952. Inspired by her travels in Germany and France, the writer, Annikki Setälä (1900-1970), established her own puppet theatre in Lapland, the Lapin Nukketeatteri (Lapland Puppet Theatre) in Rovaniemi, up to the 1960s. They inspired an enthusiasm which encouraged Finnish puppeteers to give performances reflecting their influence. ![]() At the beginning of the 20th century, the pioneers of the Finnish puppet theatre gave their first shows: Kalle Nyström (1865-1933) and his string puppets Bärbi Luther (1889-1979), a kindergarten teacher, and her shadow theatre and, in the 1930s, Arvo Avenius (1901-1972), a circus artist, who gave trick puppet shows.Īfter World War II, two noteworthy visits from abroad were made to Finland: in 1949, the French Jacques Chesnais and, in 1950, the Russian Sergei Obraztsov. Itinerant European troupes touring Stockholm and Saint Petersburg passed through Finland, staging their pieces for string marionettes, trick and transformation puppets or showing their theatrum mundi. ![]() In fact, Finland only joined in the practices of other European countries in the 19th century. Some folkloric manifestations could be considered reminiscent of puppet and mask theatre, such as the masks and effigies used in the feasts and rituals accompanying the killing of a bear ( karhunpeijaiset), or the masks and disguises of the nuuttipukit, groups of strolling players who went from door to door at the end of the Christmas festivities. Like the other Nordic countries, Finland lacks a long puppet theatre tradition. A Nordic country located in Northern Europe, the Republic of Finland (Finnish: Suomen tasavalta) is bordered by Sweden to the west, Norway to the north, and Russia to the east. ![]() Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised delays: although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners-which also featured Hayley Kiyoko-she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die.

Long vowels shifted upwards that is, a vowel that used to be pronounced in a lower place in the mouth would be pronounced in a different place, higher up in the mouth. You see, back in 16th-century England, some pronunciations were pretty different, owing to a Great Vowel Shift – a series of changes in pronunciation that affected the long vowels used in English – roughly during the 15th to 18th centuries.

Pulselocker launched in 2012 as a subscription service that provided DJs with the ability to stream music from the cloud using the company’s locker technology without an internet connection. LiveStyle president and CEO Randy Phillips added, “Within six months of taking the helm at Beatport, Robb and his gifted leadership team have consistently validated LiveStyle’s vision of supporting innovative strategies and fiscal responsibility by taking Beatport to the next level.”īeatport Adds Afro House Genre Category in Light of Growing International Trends “Beatport is committed to delivering the best tools to create a more seamless and interoperable user experience for our massive ecosystem of DJs, and Pulselocker accelerates our timeline to deliver just that type of product.”īeatport is currently experiencing its second consecutive year of growth under parent company LiveStyle’s new management team and shows further commitment to the business model. “Pulselocker spent years developing an innovative solution that provides DJs with the flexibility to access the content they want when they want it - all through the DJ software they want to use - while providing copyright holders with the security and tracking mechanisms to calculate royalty payments,” said McDaniels in a statement.

Beatport Pro is the first serious stab at filling in that niche for us DJs, and as long as it does indeed handle all your music (and not just Beatport purchases) in the same way, it is definitely worth a closer look. As DJ music libraries continue to grow in size and complexity, there is an increasing need for management software that can intelligently categorise audio types and parse collections based on more specialised search criteria and attributes. While iTunes may be the most practical media library software (which is why the vast majority of DJs use it), it isn’t the most powerful and is designed for general music and media management not specifically for DJs, so it’s not perfect at this task by any means. The software appears to work fine with all music, not just that bought from the Beatport store. New, DJ-friendly search filters and tag attributes let you view and search your DJ music library in creative ways, plus you can add extended metadata information to your entire collection from within the app (batch processing) – something it’s hard to find in Mac ID3 tag editors. What’s more, as Beatport Pro’s library can be “read” inside DJ software in the same way your iTunes library can, Beatport is claiming on this basis that it “integrates seamlessly with Rekordbox, Traktor and Serato” – making it the first non-iTunes music organisation software to do this. It claims to offer a more convenient and specialised music library management solution for DJs, with better genre, metadata and filter handling, and the ability to work with samples and stems as easily as whole tracks. Beatport Pro aims to let you more efficiently manage all your music in one place for use across multiple DJ software like Rekordbox, Traktor and Serato.īeatport has just announced Beatport Pro, a free updated version of its offline store browser for Mac, but now with tools and features aimed squarely at helping DJs organise their music collections too. |
