Recently, Deborah Stienstra, applying a critical theory framework, examined some of the nuanced and complicated material inequalities experienced by people with disabilities in Canada. Consequently, the CHRC found that “the disability rates for both women and men progressively increase with age.” 13 This all leads one to ask how inclusive is Canada when it comes to advancing the rights of persons with disabilities? 12 According to the Canadian Human Rights Commission (“CHRC”), disability rates also vary between women and men and across age groups. This figure represents 13.7 per cent of the Canadian population. B: Responding to Rising Disability RatesĬlose to 3.8 million Canadian adults report some type of disability. British Columbia 8, the Supreme Court of Canada (“SCC”) held that “to promote the objective of the more equal society, section 15 (1) acts as a bar to the executive enacting provisions without taking into account their possible impact on already disadvantaged classes of persons.” 9 To that end, the Court concluded that in order to ensure equal opportunity, a government “may be required to take positive steps to ensure the equality of people or groups who come within the scope of section 15.” 10 Between 19, the Court heard 16 major cases specifically addressing disability rights issues either through section 15 jurisprudence or in the statutory human rights context. In Canada, section 15 of the “Charter of Rights and Freedoms” 5 ensures that “every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.” 6 Arlene Kanter argues that “the “Charter” does not merely provide individuals remedies it also requires the immediate invalidation of any law or government policy or program that is found to violate the “Charter”.” 7 In the decision of Eldridge v. Despite this assertion, Ravi Malholtra argues that the Supreme Court of Canada has come a considerable distance in embracing a social model of understanding disablement. People with disabilities are among the most marginalized Canadians. While this paper does not purport to be exhaustive, it aims to provide an assessment of the CRPD and its implications for Canada, especially where it concerns the legal capacity of persons and groups of persons with disabilities and the provision of legal services by professionals. Despite these reservations, this paper will demonstrate that the CRPD, as an international treaty, has acted as a catalyst for changing social norms on disability rights through important areas of influence, and as such, will continue to have positive implications for the rights of persons with disabilities in Canada. As a result, Canada has signed and ratified the treaty with its own reservations. Article 12 of the CRPD has been interpreted to promote the adoption of supported decision-making legislation. The CRPD, with its overarching ideal of equality, seeks to create a new international norm in disability rights by encouraging state parties who are signatory to the treaty to adopt legislation that promotes the right to equal recognition, legal capacity, and supported decision-making. In Canada, this fight for equal recognition began behind closed doors in 1980, when a law student named David Lepofsky argued for the inclusion of disability rights in section 15 of Canada’s new constitution (the Charter) 3, and first received widespread public attention in 1982, when a courageous young man with cerebral palsy named Justin Clark, started his successful claim to make decisions that impact his future care and living arrangements. It signifies the belief that disability rights should not be created without including the voices of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations. ‘Nothing about us without us’ is the slogan that was adopted by the International Disability Caucus 1 during negotiations surrounding the creation of the international treaty, the United Nations “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities” 2 (“CRPD”).

The whole show was performed before a giant frame, full of Easter Eggs and nods to various albums, shows and musicals John was involved in while the visuals for the show featured archive footage as well as clips from The Simpsons, Rocketman and various TV adverts.Īt the end, John disappeared into the star-studded video wall behind the stage via a silver stair lift, an extravagant showman to the very end.Įlton John. It was the perfect way to round out a night that celebrated John’s impressive legacy. I won’t ever forget you but I want to spend the rest of my life with my boys,” he explained before the track, which was backed by video clips of his own glorious career. Released in 2021, the disco-infused song gave John his eighth Number One UK single and during the ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour, it deservedly received one of the biggest reactions of the night.Īfter a joyful, celebratory and positive trip down memory lane, Elton John closed out his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ show with a gorgeous, poignant rendition of ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’. As well as championing exciting, interesting new acts like Rina Sawayama and Yard Act, he also collaborated with Dua Lipa on ‘ Cold Heart’. It was impossible not to do the same.Įlton John is a living legend but in recent years, he’s refused to be defined by nostalgia. When he wasn’t hammering the piano or getting caught up in sublime rock & roll breakdowns, John was triumphantly punching the air, waving to the crowd and looking like he was having the absolute time of his life. However, there wasn’t a single moment where John wasn’t giving it his all. Speaking of enthusiasm, Elton John has played close to 300 shows on his ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour and there’s another three months of touring still to go. The bar was set high from the very start. Live, John’s free-wheeling piano-playing gave the track a spirited enthusiasm while his impressive vocals sounded better than ever. Its a song of flips that feels warm and familiar, as if your best friends were standing at the door to the dance club, pulling back a curtain and welcoming you inside. The track may have been originally released in 1973 as part of ‘Goodbye Yellow Brick Road’ but fifty years later, it sounded as powerful as ever. It’s hard to command an arena from behind a piano, but from the opening hammer of ‘Bennie And The Jets’, Elton John had the undivided attention of every corner of London’s O2 Arena.

I add this at the time of writing (May 2021) because it’s very relevant right now. As a MacBook Pro M1 owner, this gives me confidence in the product, particularly as ACE is something that runs in the background and potentially impacts so much of the software that I use. Loopback and the Audio Capture Engine (ACE) have been fully M1 and ARM-compatible since December 2020. Functions are provided for installing/uninstalling the server plugin, as well as creating virtual capture devices.” (Rogue Amoeba Website) M1 Compatible? It's provided in two parts: A C library that applications integrate to communicate with ACE, and a CoreAudio server plugin to be installed on the user's computer. The audio can then be read and processed by your application, using entirely standard CoreAudio APIs.ĪCE can be integrated into an existing application in a matter of hours. Any audio that VLC produces will show up as audio input from the virtual capture device. For example, ACE can be used to programmatically create a capture device pulling audio from a running instance of VLC. ACE can be used to provide audio to enhance screen recording, VNC/remote access, game streaming, and much more.ĪCE provides an API for applications to create virtual CoreAudio capture devices, which then pull in the desired audio. “The Audio Capture Engine (ACE) framework provides Mac apps with the ability to capture audio from specific running applications, as well as all audio currently being produced by the system. They describe what ACE is all about much better than I can. The text below is taken directly from the Rogue Amoeba website. It’s all done using Rogue Amoeba’s Audio Capture Engine (ACE). Use discount code ‘TDCAT’ for 15% off the Loopback software (valid until December 31st 2021). I approached Rogue Amoeba after purchase and mentioned that I was going to review this product and asked if they had any discount codes I could offer to my viewers and readers. I paid for the software myself and I’m writing this as an appreciation for a very powerful and well-designed piece of software offered at the right price. Alternatively, if you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. If you end up with a better understanding of what Loopback is all about, then my work here is done. I'm not sure I made them quite as clear and concise as I could, but hopefully, if you're already familiar with this subject matter, you'll be able to figure out what I was doing and why. I wanted to walk you through some real-life use cases in detail in the video which takes more time. Again, I use the Tidal app and my RME Totalmix software to show you the results.Īpologies for the length of the video. The third demo looks at the default ‘Pass-Thru’ device that Loopback creates. This is a little more specialist and specific but it gives an idea of what level of control Loopback gives you on a professional multi I/O device.Ĭreating a Virtual Output Device. In the second demo, I’m showing you a bespoke setup within the RME Totalmix software. Setting Up my RME Fireface with Loopback. In this case, Loopback is going directly to the process ID for Tidal so you don’t need to change the output settings in Tidal and you can still monitor that through your speaker or headphones (if you’re on a Zoom call, headphones would be the way to go). This would allow you to not only talk to someone on Zoom but also mix in music directly from Tidal (or whichever music app you want). In this demo, I combine the input from a USB mic and music directly from the Tidal app and show how you can then select this in Zoom. For my own iMac with the M295X, the last driver update released before November was way back in 2014. sys file?Īpple's policy on this appears to be 'Well so long as it powers the display in Windows then that is where our support ends'. Would it be possible for AMD to bake some better support into the official PC drivers in the actual display driver. inf file for 17.11.1 does actually provide a huge fps performance boost for gaming but then things like DX12 and OpenCL do not work as intended, so this really isn't a long-term viable option. Furthermore, forcing Windows to update via the. Interestingly external displays still work but the internal display's resolution is recognized as '0x0'. Mapping the Apple software device settings into any newer versions of the driver (released on the PC side) typically causes the display to simply go black. Many games run with fps in single figures which is crazy for a such a capable GPU. The Bootcamp drivers provided for iMac Pro through Bootcamp Assistant is version 17.7 and appears to be only sufficient for actually powering the display. I'd like to clarify the situation further if I may. Good luck! I hope you get this going, pretty crappy to have a such a nice machine having a single OS restriction.Īppreciate you forwarding the feedback Matt. My apologies in advance if this turns out not to be the case. However I am pretty sure the ball is in Apples court on this one. I know a similar question to this was already asked and I think there was a bit of apparent finger pointing going on between Apple and AMD. I would definitely ask this question to Apple. This isn't to say that in some cases that those types of drivers have not also worked on Apples original equipment. The only exceptions to this I know of are for aftermarket cards that replace the original Apple equipment, then the card maker supplies the driver. Apple keeps a tight leash and virtually total control on their ecosystem. In the past the only AMD or NVidia drivers for that fact available for Mac or Windows on a Mac Via Bootcamp have been supplied by Apple. I couldn't tell you if a Windows version of the drivers exists or not. To my knowledge the new vega solution from the new iMac pros is proprietary to apple. It's very likely that this is not a fault of AMD at all. These reveals are highly engaging and moving. Their desires, backgrounds, and mental states are thoroughly developed and examined over the course of the story, and this allows their interactions to transform from something rather standard into a truly special and unique relationship. However, over time it becomes clear that there are many more layers to both protagonists than is initially apparent. We are initially introduced to Yuu Koito as an average first-year who isn't sure of her life ambitions or what she wants in a relationship, and to Touko Nanami as the ideal student council president who falls in love with her kouhai. Everyone is treated with respect and interactions between them are powerfully and realistically written. It's a pleasure to look at.Ĭharacters (10/10): YagaKimi's cast, especially its two protagonists, are by far its strongest aspect. Characters are expressive and have unique designs, backgrounds have an appropriate level of detail, and everything is drawn in a very consistent manner. The last few chapters provide a satisfying conclusion.Īrt (10/10): The artwork is very well-done overall. ever feels out of place or rushed, and each one feels relevant to the overall story. Story (10/10): YagaKimi presents a believable and well-paced narrative that takes readers on an emotional journey of self-discovery as an unlikely friendship blooms into love, while exploring socially important issues such as loss, loneliness, gender roles, and the meaning of love itself. Thankfully, Yagate Kimi ni Naru (Bloom into You) avoids these issues, placing well-written characters into an engaging and thoughtfully crafted narrative to create a moving coming-of-age story. In general, yuri has had a rather mixed history, and a myriad of series that don’t take themselves seriously and/or suffer from poorly-written characters and narratives have made the rounds in the past few years.

Thus users effectively play the fully uncensored uncut Manhunt 2 and get the full ‘Adult Only’ rated version of the game with complete killing scenes details, except a few gore scene cuts, such as shovel decapitations, player castrates an enemy with pliers and cutting head off and lesser blood particles. The crack code allows the blurs, hues and discolorations of the death sequences to be removed. Hackers from Russia has managed to reveal a hack to modify the game code that uncensors and unlocks the PSP version of Manhunt 2 ‘hidden and protected’ game content, and view the originally locked and censored violent graphical details ‘uncensored’ during the game play. Or this cover? Rumors about Adult Only rated PS2 PAL copies slipped out in Europe. Note the Black RP disc, unlike the white disc with green edges. PC owners get the uncensored version as a silly download, a shame the PS2 release got 'slashed". Fumbling thru all the yellow envelopes, could only find the white censored PS2 game discs. I hit every Gamestop with a printout of stores listing availability. Action Replay removes the blur filtration during the kills, but some scenes are removed in the official released version. I really want Manhunt 2 in the uncensored version. Ever notice the Rockstar Icon, looks like an R rating badge? I'm not sure if the Greatest hits version of Manhunt also met the same censor axe, the reason for getting the original black label. The Hot Coffee in San Andreas and Manhunt 2 screen blur censorship for example. The Rockstar games have a history of Mature content removed on repressings of their games. I usually prefer Greatest Hits for sometimes extra content inside.

Oh just go out and kill somebody, not literally but in yet another game. I just got one message to the gamemakers out there. Let us adults play the games intended for us and let the hypocrites handle their own views about what their "adulthood" should be playing. Sure, we should make sure kids don't play these games rating M and AO. Did I say "adults"? Then what's with the censorship and blur in the cutscenes and animations? We're adults and kids are better off playing kids games, not us. Yes, this game should only be played by adults. What's with the fuss about an M rating for games these days? Kids know what violence and sex are. Second, Manhunt 2 is just "as good as it can get" because of all the badmouthing by those hypocrites who can't handle their kids' buying power. They sure left us out in the cold on this one. If you love the violence and the tension/thrill of the original, you'll love this one too. If you love the violence and the tension/thrill of the original, you'll love Manhunt 2 defines the genre and is the best in its class. Manhunt 2 defines the genre and is the best in its class. If you're just generous with your money(or have a thirst for blood), go ahead and give it a shot, otherwise pick a better game there are plenty. I must say that I like DBZ Tenkaichi 2, Rayman, Red Steel, Godfather, Metroid Prime 3, and Mario Strikers(the games that I own) alot more than Manhunt 2, but it isn't pure crap or barely playable. Other than that, it's a average game that isn't a blast to play but is a decent time waster. The main if only complaints are the stupid ai(they can be complete idiots at times), the camera(you can't move it manually), the controls(sometimes trying to peek aorund a corners is a bit difficult or you do it by mistake out in the open), and to some, graphics(they're pretty bad even for a wii game). I didn't in fact play the first one, but the game is just about average. I didn't in fact play Definitely NOT the best game on the wii but it's not the worst either. Definitely NOT the best game on the wii but it's not the worst either. complex, and very singular." These ones are bigger and more orange-tinged than those you've seen in the grocery store, but they smell good and you've heard the chanterelle has no obvious poisonous lookalikes, so you eagerly harvest them, return home, and munch the mushrooms. You think you have found the chanterelle, among the most prized and popular mushrooms, described in the legendary All That The Rain Promises And More as the "queen seductress: fruity, peppery. It is the gills of the Jack-O-Lantern mushroom that exhibit bioluminescence. This phenomenon can be demonstrated by bringing fresh and actively growing mushrooms into a dark room at night-the darker the better. Stare at the gills of the mushrooms until your eyes become accustomed to the dark, and you may eventually see the greenish glow given off by them.Īlthough the reason, if there is one, that fungi glow is unknown, some suggest it functions to attract animals or insects that eat the mushroom and aid in the dispersal of its spores.You are walking through the forest on an autumn afternoon, eyes low, when out of the underbrush you spot a bolt of frilly, apricot-colored protuberances. The recognition that luminous wood was actually caused by fungi was reported in 1823, and people in the far north are reported to have marked forest trails with pieces of rotten, glowing wood to enable them to find their way back at night. The eerie light emitted by these mushrooms or by the actively growing mycelium of these fungi growing in decaying wood is a phenomenon referred to as “fox fire” and was reported as early as 382 B.C. Omphalotus illudens is also one of more than 40 species of bioluminescent fungi. illudens has been described as at first being afraid you’re going to die, then being afraid you’re not going to die, and finally, after several hours of abdominal pain and vomiting, you begin to feel better. Chanterelles are similarly colored, can occur around the same time of the year, and are good edibles. However, chanterelles are smaller in stature, have gills that are not well developed (appear more like veins), and usually grow solitarily on soil.Įxperiencing poisoning by O. Jack-O-Lanterns are attractive and have a pleasant odor, but are POISIONOUS! They are sometimes mistakenly eaten by people who think they are chanterelles. Underneath the cap are found similarly-colored narrow, decurrent (running down the stalk) gills, and a pale orange, thick stalk. The yellow-orange to orange cap is first convex in shape, becoming flat and then finally funnel-shaped with a margin that turns downward. The Jack-O-Lantern fungus produces large clusters of mushrooms around the bases of dead hardwood trees and stumps. They can also grow from buried roots. Omphalotus illudens is especially appropriate here in Champaign-Urbana since it is among the few mushrooms which display the “Illini orange” color. It gets its common name not only because of its bright pumpkin orange color and its occurrence around the time of Halloween, but also because it can exhibit an eerie glow known as bioluminescence-the production of light by a living organism-in this case, a fungus. The Jack-O-Lantern mushroom, Omphalotus illudens, is a common late-summer-to-fall mushroom of the midwestern and eastern United States. Align image left align image center align image right |
