![]() They produce a very loud sound and were originally used for troops marching into battle. The meaning was drawn from the playing style since the instruments have pump-operated bellows. Similar to Scottish bagpipes, they are commonly referred to as bagpipes but the name uilleann actually means “pipes of the elbow.” ![]() This Irish instrument is as old as the hills, well not quite, but dates back to the beginning of the 5th century. However, with a bit of passion and dedication, learning to play the fiddle is not out of reach, and will certainly add a big boost to any music or pub session! Check out our list of the best online fiddle lessons here! 2. Unfortunately, the fiddle is not the easiest instrument to learn, one of the reasons being that it lacks frets which mark the notes, as seen on a guitar. A talented fiddle player with the ability to pick up tunes by ear is highly sort after and appreciated. With lots of room for interpretation and experimentation, fiddle playing is lively and remarkably expressive. Its sound is one of the most recognizable and easiest to distinguish, being high-pitched and expressive. It’s one of the most popular Irish string instruments, and is usually, the primary instrument used in traditional Irish music. The playing style and sound of it are what set it apart from the violin.Ī classically trained violinist is unlikely to perform folk music, whereas a folk musician is most likely not going to play classical music! Like a violin, it is small, bow-shaped, and has strings fastened on both ends. The fiddle is essentially an Irish violin. If you are especially interested in Irish traditional music, the following instruments are a great place to start.īy learning to play an Irish instrument, you’ll be learning about and connecting with an Irish culture largely based on pride, passion, and community at the same time! 10 Irish Instruments You Should Learn To Play 1. Not only do the following Irish instruments offer a rewarding learning experience, but they’re also a great way to learn and connect with a deep-rooted culture. It’s all about getting together socially and playing tunes, purely for the enjoyment of it.”īecause traditional Irish music is such a social experience and accessible to all, the popularity of playing Irish instruments has spread worldwide. Musicians who don’t know each other at all often play together. Sanda Joyce put its perfectly, “What makes traditional music so special is the strong sense of community it builds. From cozy local pubs where folks gather and play their traditional Irish instruments to the cobblestone streets, the atmosphere is always heartfelt and welcoming.ĭirector of the Irish World Academy of Music and Dance Dr. Irish folk music has been used over the years as a way to record and tell their legendary mythical tales and stories.īut more importantly, it brings a nation together. Music is a language in Ireland, it’s that integral. Traditional Irish music is one of the oldest in the world, dating back to the Celts 2,000 years ago.

![]() Up until now the line ways were drawn using GPU lines, but I wanted more features than these simple lines. There are two kinds of graphical entities in my processed database: line ways and filled shapes. The preprocessor is now tagging and including more kinds of shapes based on the OSM metadata and the proto renderer is using more colors now. I switch to Luxembourg, looking for more complexity and a varied and larger urban grid. At this point I was starting to battle with the concepts of relations, in/out ways, and how OSM stores them. Larger shapes are now triangulated, stored and drawn. This involves storing the coordinates as a pair of 32 bit floats and using vector shader tricks when doing the view transform to keep the full precision without ever using 64 bit floats, which are terrible in consumer GPUs. Also not visible in this map is the fact all the vector data is in full precision longitude-latitude, not missing a single bit. This would haunt me later on, but it was the right call in the end. I decided to triangulate on the preprocessor and not on the game, and take the extra storage hit. This is handling simple filled shapes already, as for example building footprints, which was a lot of work on the preprocessor side, since it needed to start triangulating ways and relations. If it’s not clear enough, the left side is my renderer, the right side is the OSM.org render.Īnd here it is with quite a bit of work in just a couple days later. Here it is with the same prototype renderer. I decided to iterate on increasingly complex and larger maps, switching to Andorra as an initial target. ![]() It is the street grid of my city, Barcelona, and it’s just doing polylines using GPU lines, with no real shape processing yet happening. This was the first time my rough prototype map renderer drew a recognizable map, processed by my OSM preprocessor. This would be low level coding with no game engine and using libraries only for things like image loading. It calls into the underlying graphics API of the system via the excellent bgfx, and it would be all in C++, with me having been reconciled with the language after a years long detour into various Lisp dialects. In parallel to the OSM map preprocessor (which was alarmingly growing in complexity very fast), I started developing a map renderer. My own map format would be stored as a series of tables in a SQLite database, with proper indexing. I ignored MapBox, PostGIS and other ready-made solutions. My idea was to load these PBF files and transform them into my own database format, with heavy lifting of processing ways and relations into triangulated shapes and generating indexes as a preprocessed step. They are not database, being more like a serialization of the OSM data. These contain an optimized protobuffer dump of the OSM database, and can be found already pre-cut down into countries or regions. I like programming way too much for my own good sometimes, so I decided to start from raw OSM PBF dump files. The obvious place to start was OpenStreetMap. I really wanted to have the real world maps as the map of my game, the canvas for the player to build their track networks, but doing so would require using actual GIS data. November-December 2018 - I hope you like maps So, barely a month before my finals, I started working on the idea for way too many hours every day. The idea of doing the railroad game with a track design based on this line interpolation started taking shape. I was truly enamored with this way of smoothly interpolating a polyline into a curve, which was new to me, and seemed much more usable than the splines I knew. But the various games I tried that had vector-based tracks had either a too complicated interface for laying them, or tried to simplify too much and the curves seemed unnatural and quite different from real world track layouts. I also had been, for some time, thinking about doing a game about railroads, with the twist of making it based on real world maps, trying to approximate real track networks. To me it looked like a series of circle arcs linked by line segments at their tangents, and I quickly produced a bézier approximation of the same idea, drawing the arcs using cubic béziers with the often used coefficient of 0.55191502449. I saw tweet about paper which involved a very smooth, very natural curve interpolation, and I was immediately intrigued. I’ve been working on it for the past 18 months and I kept a development diary. NIMBY Rails - A development retrospective 16 March, 2020 ![]() These are the ones most likely to talk to themselves. Their lipstick mouths are too big around their mouths, their rouge blotchy, their eyes drawn screw-jiggy around their real eyes. They have hair dyed straw-blond or baby-blue, or, even more startling against their papery skins, a lusterless old-fur-coat black. Their slips show at the bottoms of their skirts, slips of unusual, suggestive colors. They wear scarlet outfits or purple ones, and dangly earrings, and hats that look like stage props. There aren’t many of these, but they stand out. “Ticky-tack.” Then there are the ones who have not resigned themselves, who still try for an effect of glamour. Cordelia can tell cheap cloth at a glance. Others are bulgy, dumpy, with clamped self-righteous mouths, their arms festooned with shopping bags these we associate with sales, with bargain basements. Others are poorer and foreign-looking and have dark shawls wound over their heads and around their shoulders. Some are respectably dressed, in tailored Harris tweed coats and matching gloves and tidy no-nonsense hats with small brisk feathers jauntily at one side. On the streetcars there are always old ladies, or we think of them as old. Our mouths are tough, crayon-red, shiny as nails.

We’re impervious, we scintillate, we are thirteen. She can outstare anyone, and I am almost as good. Cordelia sits with nonchalance, nudging me with her elbow now and then, staring blankly at the other people with her gray-green eyes, opaque and glinting as metal. The streetcar is muggy with twice-breathed air and the smell of wool. Cordelia and I are riding on the streetcar, going downtown, as we do on winter Saturdays. It puts the nature of time in its place, and also Stephen, who calls us “the teenagers,” as if he himself is not one. Cordelia rolls her eyes, as I knew she would.

You don’t look back along time but down through it, like But I began then to think of time as having a shape, something you could see, like a series of liquid transparencies, one laid on top of another. He was already moving away from the imprecision of words. I didn’t understand what he meant, but maybe he didn’t explain it very well. It was my brother Stephen who told me that, when he wore his raveling maroon sweater to study in and spent a lot of time standing on his head so that the blood would run down into his brain and nourish it. If you can bend space you can bend time also, and if you knew enough and could move faster than light you could travel backward in time and exist in two places at once.

When they do the ‘bit’ where Casey reveals he doesn’t know what a fish is, it really reminds us that these employees have barely seen past the four walls of the TVA - and that they probably have no interest in doing so as they are born and bred to be compliant office drones.Īside from the desk-jockeys we have the all-knowing Time-Keepers. It’s staffed by bland, non-confrontational employees who are literally born to work an office job their whole life. We see Rogue Loki’s newest murderous trick as he sets fire to a bunch of Minute Men in 1858 Oklahoma, ending with an ominous shot of the hooded, silhouetted figure that definitely reminds me of this meme: ![]() The episode wraps up with the revelation that Mobius wants Loki’s help in tracking a murderous variant because that very variant is Loki himself, but from another rogue timeline. Instead, he finds some rather interesting things that he definitely couldn’t have predicted. Loki does not like what Mobius shows him and says to him, and when Mobius briefly leaves the room to deal with a situation, the God of Mischief uses that window of opportunity to escape his holding room in search of freedom. “You weren’t born to be king Loki,” Mobius says at one point, “You were born to cause pain and suffering and death.and also so that others can achieve their best versions of themselves” Loki quickly learns that his magic is worthless when at the TVA HQ, and he’s powerless to the control of Mobius who subjects him to a rerun of his greatest hits whilst accusing him of being not an agent of mischief, but instead a creator of pain and death. It seems that a variant has been slaughtering TVA workers (known as Minute Men), and we see the latest attack has left a chapel in 1500’s France strewn with corpses. Loki is lucky enough to avoid almost certain death by 'resetting' when Owen Wilson steps in as Agent Mobius, requesting to take Loki with him for questioning and to perhaps assist in his investigation. Anyone who diverges from this decided set of events is labelled a ‘variant’ and taken to court to be tried for their deviance though it doesn’t appear that the court has any intention of giving people a 'fair' trial. ![]() In a lovely, slightly dystopian-looking infomercial, we're told that the TVA enforces the rule of the all-knowing Time-Keepers and the sacred timeline. The first episode introduced us to Loki’s current situation post-Endgame escape, and to the wonderful bureaucratic world of the Time Variance Authority - or the TVA.Īfter a bit of banter and scene-setting, (including Loki signing off on a document of everything he’s ever said and him being stripped naked by a semi-cute, semi-psychotic looking robot) we get our first proper explanation of what the TVA is and what it does. ![]() The cookies is used to store the user consent for the cookies in the category "Necessary".

The ceremony took place in 2016 with Diana Vázquez, a woman who is far from public life and who has maintained a private life despite the career of her now ex-husband, since very little is known about her. ![]() They lasted five years as husband and wife He explained that the couple met during the recordings of the movie ‘Que viva México’ and in the locations that took place in San Luis Potosí, they had time to meet. He also stressed that Ana demanded a divorce from the actor, as he would not accept being anyone’s lover and it was then that the former RBD decided to separate from the mother of his children. “Between Poncho and Diana there was no longer love or passion, their marriage fell apart.” Poncho Herrera will confirm his relationship with Ana de la RegueraĪna de la Reguera could make her romance with Herrera official They lasted five years as husband and wifeĪ friend of the actor revealed to a magazine that his ex-wife, Diana, had no choice, as she realized that the father of her children was unfaithful to her with Ana de la Reguera, a famous Mexican actress who has not given any statements about it. The private life of the also presenter was kept out of his career, and he managed to keep his family so far from the public eye that no one knew when Poncho was going to be a father for the second time. Through a statement, ‘Miguel Arango’ announced that he and his now ex-partner made the decision to take different paths and asked the press not to harass her, as she will not talk about the issue. According to a friend of the actor, Ana de la Reguera would have been the third in discord in marriage.

When they complained to him, he allegedly “accepted her infidelity and told her that he did not make him happy and that he wanted a divorce.” The actors have been friends since 2012, and they reconnected last September to work on the film “Qué viva México.” During the recording, “they had a chance to spend time together, they hooked up very quickly, and they started a secret romance.” Poncho Herrera would have 'betrayed' his wife with Ana de la Reguera 1ĭiana Vázquez later learned that the father of her children had an affair.
