![]() ![]() ![]() One of the most striking hallmarks of Mehtas prose was its profusion of visual description: of the rich and varied landscapes he encountered, of the people he interviewed, of the cities he visited. He could rework a single article more than a hundred times, he often said. His literary style derived partly from his singular way of working: Blind from the age of 3, Mehta composed all of his work orally, dictating long swaths to an assistant, who read them back again and again for him to polish until the work shone like a mirror. The recipient of a MacArthur Foundation genius grant in 1982, Mehta was long praised by critics for his forthright, luminous prose with its informal elegance, diamond clarity and hypnotic power, as The Sunday Herald of Glasgow put it in a 2005 profile. He writes about serious matters without solemnity, about scholarly matters without pedantry, about abstruse matters without obscurity. Ved Mehta has established himself as one of the magazines most imposing figures, The New Yorkers storied editor William Shawn, who hired him as a staff writer in 1961, told The New York Times in 1982. The cause was complications of Parkinsons disease, his wife, Linn Cary Mehta, said.Īssociated with the magazine for more than three decades much of his magnum opus began as articles in its pages Mehta was widely considered the 20th-century writer most responsible for introducing American readers to India.īesides his multivolume memoir, published in book form between 19, his more than two dozen books included volumes of reportage on India, among them Walking the Indian Streets (1960), Portrait of India (1970) and Mahatma Gandhi and His Apostles (1977), as well as explorations of philosophy, theology and linguistics. ![]() Ved Mehta, a longtime writer for The New Yorker whose best-known work, spanning a dozen volumes, explored the vast, turbulent history of modern India through the intimate lens of his own autobiography, died Saturday at his home in Manhattan. ![]()

One lawsuit will not stop Gawker or the media at large from writing stories or posting sex tapes, especially in cases of hypocrisy. ![]() Last year, their outing of the Conde Nast CFO led many to say they Gawker reached a new low and led to Nick admitting that change was necessary. The case has acquired mass media attention, pitting freedom of the press against a the privacy rights of a celebrity, and raising the questions among the industry as to the future of gossip news sites.įounder of Q.Digital Scott Gatz told The Drum: "Gawker is already in the midst of significant change. "This is not only his victory today, but also anyone else who's been victimised by tabloid journalism," Hogan's lawyer David Houston said outside the courtroom. Hulk Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, testifies in court on Tuesday during his trial against Gawker Media, in St Petersburg, Fla. The jury, who spent less than six hours mulling over the case, ruled against the freedom of press argument, ruling that Gawker had indeed violated Hogan’s privacy by publishing the video, and awarding Hogan $115m in compensation, a sum that the website will be hard-pushed to bounce back from. Daulerio and founder Nick Denton might have been distasteful, the concept of freedom of the press was more important to uphold. ![]() The defense argued that while the actions of former Gawker editor A.J. ![]() 4/3/2023 0 Comments Musescore add staff![]() ![]() So the second staff will still be a bass clef instead of using the default clef type. Finally, step 4 reads the bass clef back and uses this clef to generate the second staff. This is because step 2 does not delete the bass clef of the instrument, and in step 3, the bass clef is still saved even though it is not shown on the score. Load it back and add a new staff as the second staff.Delete its bass clef so there's only one treble clef left.Keyboard instruments have at least one treble clef and one bass clef, and deleting the bass clef will not affect the _clefList of the instrument. As far as I know, this change will not be problematic for keyboard instruments, considering that the second staff should use a bass clef instead of a treble clef. Since the treble clef is the clef being discarded, changing the default clef to treble clef can fix this issue. Later on, when adding new staff to an instrument, there's no clef in the _clefList to determine the desired clef type, and MuseScore generates a bass clef as its default clef and causing the issue. So once we load the score back, instruments using treble clef have no clefs, and their _clefList is empty. Change the key signature and time signature Add whole, half, quarter, eighth. When the score is saved, treble clefs are not saved. Our picks for the best free music writing software are: MuseScore. Click on an empty space in a staff and drag it up or down with the mouse. This is because an instrument's clef determines the new staff's clef type. Click Add staff -> a bass clef is added.Then everything will already be set up for you correctly. ![]() Remove the new staff so there's only one staff left. While you can add staves to a score using Edit / Instruments, if you are trying to write for piano, don't start with the default one-line score and then add a staff - simply create a new score with File / New and select the Piano template.Click Add staff -> successfly add a treble clef. ![]()
4/2/2023 0 Comments 9mm primers![]() Doing this also gives a slight bevel to the mouth of the primer pocket and makes inserting new primers easier in the future. You only need to do it one time, and you only need a twist or two with a chamfering tool to do it. I personally 'keep it simple' and chamfer (ream) the pockets of both rifle and pistol military brass. Two ways to do it: you can get a primer pocket swager and swage the brass crimp back o0ut of the was, OR you can lightly chamfer the crimp from the primer pocket. If it is military surplus brass - yes the primers were crimped in - and yes, the crimp will have to be removed before you seat a fresh primer. It's usually quicker to do the whole batch than it is to separate them out.Īdded: oh, and if it has the NATO cross on the head stamp, it is certainly military ammunition and it will have a crimped primer. If they don't need it, it does not hurt them in the least to have it done to them - nothing happens. while military just has the initials - FC.īut if it was me, and I had a mixed batch of both crimped and uncrimped primer pockets, I'd just run them all through the swager. Civilian federal usually has periods after the initials - F. Commercial Remington ammunition is marked R-P, while military Remington made ammunition just says RP. Sometimes the way they put the name of the company will let you know. And their 9 mm and 45 ball ammo has a red lacquer seal around the primer. S&B, for example, does not put a date on their 45 or 9 mm ball ammo, but they do crimp the primers. If it has a lacquer seal around the primer, it is probably crimped.
