7/1/2023 0 Comments Marlboro cigarettes![]() ![]() at the time (the name is Altria Group nowadays), decided to go for a simple name – Marlboro. The owners, a company called Phillip Morris Companies Inc. The factory was located on Great Marlborough Street, London (you can see what the street looked like around that time here). However, after his death, relatives took care of the business, and eventually it grew enough for a first factory to be opened. This was in 1847 and the location was Bond Street, London, UK. Phillip Morris, the founder of the company, opened a shop in which he was selling tobacco and rolled cigarettes. How original must it have been to simply change Marlborough spelling to Marlboro? Well, the real story is not too far from the suggestion. Furthermore, there are many places called Marlborough all over the world – England, Australia, Canada, USA, New Zealand etc. ![]() Many companies are named based on similar ideas (see IKEA post). One may assume the name originated from the town the founder was born in – and that wouldn’t be unexpected. And the manly cowboy did the trick.īut we’re talking about naming here. The ad was created in the 1950’s to convert male smokers to buy Marlboro cigarettes, which were being sold as feminine until then. Indeed they are widely popular based on their old ad with the cowboy. This naming article is about Marlboro– the largest selling brand of cigarettes in the world. However, names are the identity of the cigarette brands, and regular customers are the best ad possible. And ads can’t really make you switch from one brand to another, unless you’re looking for a new one. All this is combines somewhat with the price of the pack of cigarettes or the bag of tobacco. ![]() People just smoke them – not for the ad, but for the quality they offer. On NO.One of the products that reach people from all ages (at least all that are of age) without a lot of advertising is the cigarettes.Will you join World Cleanup Day ? Take a look at to see the cleanup actions that have already been set up in your neighbourhood or put a cleanup action on the map yourself! – Elles Tukker, communicatiemanager, Plastic Soup Foundation Or go pick up cigarette butts on your own and get warmed up for World Cleanup Day by participating in the butt-picking day Plastic PeukMeuk 2020 on Saturday September 5th. Do you want to see the robot in action? Then come on September 19th to the Black Path in Scheveningen where a special demonstration starts at 15.00 hours. Together with students of the TU Delft they have developed a robot that picks up cigarette butts from the beach: the Beach Bot. One of the nicest applications for World Cleanup Day 2020 comes from the startup Techtics in The Hague. Unfortunately, cigarette filters are an important ‘ingredient’ of the plastic soup. If they throw one cigarette butt on the street every day on average (what does a cigarette butt weigh? 10 grams?), then you are indeed already almost at those ten million kilos a year.Įight million kilos of those are dealt with, but the remaining two million kilos remain lying around, many of which then end up in our canals, ditches, streams and finally in the sea and the ocean. Milieu Centraal has calculated that no less than ten million kilos of cigarette butts end up on the streets of the Netherlands every year!Īn incredible number but given the fact that just over 20% of the adult Dutch population smokes, it would be around 2.6 million smokers. It is estimated that six trillion cigarettes are produced worldwide every year, three-quarters of which end up in the environment rather than in an ashtray. And all cigarette butts! Because cigarette filters also contain plastic (cellulose acetate), something few people know. His successor did smoke and died of lung cancer, which, according to his widow, was a consequence of all the cigarettes he was forced to smoke during the shootings.īy now, we all know that cigarettes are unhealthy, but just as unhealthy – for the environment – are all those cigarette packs wrapped in plastic cellophane. When they asked him why he advertised Marlboro, he immediately resigned. The Marlboro Man, who doesn’t know him? The first actor who played him was a committed non-smoker and warned his children that smoking is unhealthy. A slight ‘improvement’ by the way, because in 2018 Marlboro was still number 1. Not surprising, because it is by far the most sold cigarette brand in the Netherlands. September 2019: At the 4th place in the top 6 of the litter most often found on World Cleanup Day, are the cigarette packets of Marlboro. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments Tao tso![]() It would make a great story-but there’s no evidence that the dish ever passed through the general's lips, or his pained bowels. Furthermore the general was known as a picky eater and the dish is atypical of Hunan cuisine. I’d like to believe that General Tso’s chicken might have been prepared by Zuo himself in the field, or cooked for him by an admirer after a triumphant return from battle. After that, it’s all a matter of whom you ask. Food historians know this much for sure: the dish is a loose interpretation of an old Hunan dish called chung ton gai (“ancestor meeting place chicken” or “ancestral meeting hall chicken”). Zuo’s life as a military hero is well documented (there’s even a billboard on the road going into his hometown that features his likeness), but his connection to the chicken dish named after him is a different story. Which Came First: the Chicken or the General? He oversaw coastal defense through the war and died shortly after a truce was reached, in 1885. He did return once more to the military when the Sino-French War broke out-he was commissioned as Commander-in-Chief and Imperial Commissioner of the Army and Inspector General. Zuo quickly tired of imperial politics and requested to be relieved of his position. For his final promotion, he was appointed to the Grand Council, the cabinet of the Qing Empire. Supposedly, he managed all these victories while also suffering through recurring bouts of malaria and dysentery.įor his service to the Empire, Zuo appointed a Grand Secretary and later a Marquessate. Later, he quashed an uprising of foreign Muslims led by Muhammad Yaqub Bek and negotiated an end to the Russian occupation of the western border city of Ili. Zuo returned to the battlefield to suppress the Nien Rebellion in northern China, then marched west to defeat the Dungan Revolt. Appointments to the offices of Viceroy and Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu provinces and Imperial Commissioner of the Army in Shaanxi would follow. In this capacity, he created the Goochow Arsenal, China's first modern arsenal, shipyard and naval academy. The following year, he was appointed Viceroy and Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces and Commissioner of the Naval Industries. ![]() There, he dethroned the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s teenage monarch and crushed the rebellion. Zuo drove the Taiping rebels out of Hunan and then the neighboring Guangxi province, followed them into coastal Zhejiang (after his victory there, he was appointed governor of the province and an Undersecretary of War) then south into Fujian and Guangdong, the seat of the rebellion. The peaceful silkworm farmer turned out to be a gifted and ruthless soldier, and earned comparisons to his contemporary, Union general William Tecumseh Sherman. Two years into the war, Zuo was hired as an advisor by the staff of the governor of Hunan and given full control over the province’s military. He attempted to replace the country’s indigenous religions with his own form of Christianity and enact social reforms in line with his ideology. Xiuquan, a convert to Christianity who claimed to have received visions that revealed him as the son of God and the younger brother of Jesus Christ, had established Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and taken control of a large swath of southern China. In 1850, a civil war known as the Taiping Rebellion broke out between the forces of Hong Xiuquan and the governing Qing Dynasty. He referred to himself as “The Husbandman of the River Hsiang.” He farmed silkworms and tea, wrote a book on agriculture, read about the sciences, and studied politics. ![]() There, he worked as a tutor for the family of a former governor general, got married, and pursued a variety of quiet interests. He gave up hope for work in the imperial bureaucracy and returned to Hunan. ![]() He made three attempts to qualify for the highest degree, chin-shih (“ready for office”) and failed each time. ![]() His family’s money allowed him to pursue an extensive education he was able to obtain a chu-jen ( “promoted scholar”), the second-highest academic degree awarded in the imperial civil service exams. Zuo was born in 1812 in Hsiangyin, Hunan, to a family of wealthy landowners. and Canada, we know him simply as General Tso, namesake of a Chinese takeout chicken dish. He rose quickly through the ranks of the army, quelled rebellions, served with distinction in a civil war, founded a modern arsenal and dockyard, established new, efficient logistics systems within his armies, forced Russian forces from China, and went on to serve in several positions in the national government. Zuo Zongtang (sometimes written as Zu? Z?ngtáng or Tso Tsung-t'ang) was one of the greatest military leaders of China’s long and storied history. ![]() 7/1/2023 0 Comments Midi converter box![]() ![]() It doesn’t transmit MIDI or DMX, so you’ll need to use the regular XLR-5 and DIN connectors for those protocols.Īnd just for fun, this page has a second video clip which demonstrates the DecaBox converting MIDI notes to DMX lighting data, then combining that information with an incoming DMX stream. Note: the USB port on the DecaBox is used for firmware updates. The connector size is fairly standard, so it’s easy to replace when lost. One power supply is included with your order. System Power: 9-15v DC, 200 mA, center positive, 2.1mm barrel connector. Midi note velocities are usually calculated on a 7 bit scale and range from. The DMX output stream is refreshed at around 44 Hz.įurther, the system responds to the MIDI control channel messages $BX $78 $YY and $BX $70 $YY (‘all notes off’, ‘all sound off’) where X is the MIDI channel being used and $YY is any value. If you’re a musician wanting to drive some LEDs and par cans, or are designing a neat new art exhibit, or something similar, this will work perfectly. That being said, our customers have found that this system works really, really well in smaller installations. To realize that sort of throughput, consider using a dedicated USB – DMX dongle, a proper lighting console, or something similar. Note that DMX data is transferred at 250,000 bits per second, while MIDI only runs at 31,250… At 1/8 the baud rate, it’s not possible to update an entire DMX universe with new data 44 times per second using only MIDI information. Note also that if you buy a DecaBox and aren’t completely thrilled with its performance, it can be returned within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. The most recently received message (note or CC) always takes precedence. Note #1 (C# -1) equals MIDI CC #2 equals DMX channel 2. Fade times can be nearly i nfinite in this case.įor purposes of authoring your effects, MIDI Note #0 (which is C-1) equals MIDI CC #1 equals DMX channel #1. Since the DecaBox will respond equally to note and CC messages, you can play notes for fast ‘step’ effects, then move faders / gradually adjust MIDI CC messages for slow fades. There are 119 general purpose CCs in each MIDI channel, and they can usually be accessed by name and/or number in your sequencer software or other hardware. Yes! The best way to do fades and ramps with the DecaBox is to use a MIDI CC (continuous controller) rather than just simple notes. I understand that DMX resolution is twice that of MIDI, but can I still get acceptable results? I’m interested to know how well your product looks when attempting to slowly fade a given channel up and down, through all 127 MIDI value, but so far, all the demos I’ve seen so far demonstrate relatively quick blinking and flashing effects. Typically there are lots of slow, gradual fades between different colors in the lighting design. Hi – I’m interested in purchasing your converter box to produce light shows for dance performances. It may not be the best choice for slowly panning intelligent lights. This works well for driving incandescent lights and other equipment which doesn’t require 256 steps of granularity. What’s neat about this is that DMX channels can be ‘played’ with piano keys or kickdrum hits, or driven with knobs on a sequencer or MIDI control surface. The 7 bit value of the control channel is doubled and sent out the door as DMX channel data. ![]() The first 119 general-purpose CCs are monitored. Simultaneously, the firmware monitors MIDI continuous controller data on that same user-selected MIDI channel. Also, a ‘Note On’ message with zero velocity clears the channel. ‘Note Off’ messages at any velocity clear the corresponding DMX channel. The 7-bit note velocity value is doubled to make an 8 bit DMX channel value. Since there a total of 128 notes in a MIDI chanel, the system outputs 128 channels of DMX. The system watches for ‘Note On’ messages related to that channel. This DecaBox firmware personality responds to MIDI note on / note off messages and MIDI continuous controller messages to generate DMX output.Ī single (user selectable) MIDI Channel is monitored. Here’s a 1-minute YouTube clip, which was uploaded in HD resolution. Operation is super simple and straightforward. Use this nifty interface to generate DMX lighting data from your keyboard, sequencer or MIDI controller. If you’re new to DMX and/or MIDI, this quickstart document may serve as a useful introduction to how the DecaBox can bridge these two worlds.Īnd here’s a full instruction manual for those needing more detail. Update The DecaBox now includes a built-in DMX dimming engine.

The workaround on this boss is to use a setup that doesn’t activate his passive ability – no heals. Player use: 4x – Add 1x to your boardĬhain: Ratchet Hatchet – Activates 1x – Add 1x to your board (50% Chance)Ĭhain: Azazel Shield – Activates 1x – Add 1x to your board Bosses to utilize Build 4īearbarian‘s Deceptive Healing is a dangerous mechanic and must be avoided at all cost. In order to avoid the counter attack we use a build that does not heal at all, using this method we are able to maximize our damage output by using a very hard hitting talent before the boss inevitably kills us. One out of the fourteen bosses has a hard hitting counter attack. (Talent-wise, you may experiment with replacing Faerie flame with Firebird) Taking advantage of White Claw’s passive ability Sensitive Fellow – the player will be able to deal double his/her damage to him while red intensity level 3 is active. Attacking every second turn will drop his passive ability buff Like a Ghost allowing the player to gain intensity by tapping a Blue spirit or generate Red spirits by clicking on a White spirit in between the damage dealing turns. Phantom Miner brings us back to the point where I mentioned an attack setup outperforms a magic setup. Replacing Tornado talent with Firebird will also enable a significant damage increase. Taking advantage of his Zuulaman’s passive ability Treachery One, the player will be able to consistently keep a good amount of Red spirits on his/her board. Player use: 4x – Activates 1x – Add Red intensity +1Ĭhain: Azazel Shield – Activates 1x – Heals % Magic power – Increases your attack stat by 20% for 1 turnĬhain: Hecatombus – Add 2x to your board Bosses to utilize Build 3 For these bosses, using Firebird talent instead of Tornado can greatly improve your end-result thanks to the increased damage dealt while the players intensity is active. Some bosses will either delete spirits from your board when you do an action or force you to skip a turn in order to avoid a mechanic. MH: Hecatombus OH: Azazel Shield How it works ![]() It should give you an idea of what to expect high score wise, where 100% is your maximum high score achievable on Daily Bosses in general.

Freaked out by this, Mitsuba called for help. After Mitsuba did what she was told, Alluka's eyes and mouth suddenly turned pitch-black. As a toddler, Alluka once asked Mitsuba, an attendant of the Zoldyck Family, to do three simple things: carrying her, going up a staircase, and raising Alluka up in the air. Killua once saw Alluka turn into Nanika, and learned about the general nature of its abilities by asking it how to revert the transformation. ![]() The Zoldyck Family is in the dark about Nanika's nature. It is unknown when and how Nanika came to possess Alluka, but the two have shared the latter's body at least since Alluka was a young child.

However, once reunited with her closest brother Killua, Alluka displays an affectionate, simple, and lovable personality.
