Gaining an understanding of that culture also means accepting sharp contrasts. “It’s an example of the complexity and sophistication of Indian culture,” he said. We’re just not used to listening at that micro level.” You take a recording and slow it down, “the quavering of their voices meshes with the drumbeat. And, Gelo explained, to the uninitiated ear, the wailing of a Comanche song seems disconnected from the drumbeat that accompanies it. He noted that the so-called “nonsense syllables” that Indians pronounce when singing their songs, properly called vocables, actually conform to strict grammatical rules. In the text he writes: “Plains Indian people are not defined only by their heritage and history, but also in the ways they have continued to live as a distinctive part of American and Canadian society into the 21st-century.”Īsked about details of Indian culture that surprise students, Gelo mentioned music. And, as he reminds his students, the Plains Indians are not a people frozen in time. In writing the book, Gelo wanted to take his students beyond the stereotypical images that many of them held about Plains Indians, like the image of the noble, almost superhuman mystic, or in contrast, the whooping, torturing savage. The textbook became more a project for nights and weekends.” But the main reason it took so long is that, just as I signed the book contract, I also went into full-time administration. I felt I had to publish some other things during that time. “It turned out to be, I’m sorry to say, about nine years. “I thought it would take three years,” he said, laughing. From these materials, he decided, it would be easy to write his own textbook.īut few things are simple, let alone the creation of a new book. The lecture notes evolved into what looked like a textbook outline-13 chapters that corresponded neatly with the standard 15-week semester. He began writing highly detailed lectures to fill in the blanks. “There was a pretty good book, but it was written in the 1950s and hadn’t really been updated,” Gelo said. As he taught the popular undergraduate course, however, he became dissatisfied with the available textbooks. So when Gelo was recruited by UTSA as an assistant professor of anthropology in 1988, he was naturally asked to teach a course titled Indians of the Great Plains. And he was invited to write the Comanche entry in the Human Relations Area File at Yale University, the premier reference resource for world ethnography. His research branched out to include other tribes, including the Kiowa, Cheyenne, Wichita, Alabama-Coushatta, Kickapoo, and Tigua. He also translated an 1865 Spanish-Comanche dictionary and collaborated on a book of reservation-era photos owned by novelist Larry McMurtry. Over the years, Gelo, now Dean of the College of Liberal and Fine Arts, drew on these experiences to publish books and articles on such subjects as Comanche music and mythology, historical photographs, and Indian geographical knowledge of Texas. In 1989 he was inducted into Esa Rosa, a warrior society named for Comanche leader White Wolf, and in 1998 he was named Ambassador to the Comanche Nation by the tribal chairman. He gathered tribal stories, tended horses, learned to sing and dance in the Comanche style, attended ceremonies, and gained some grasp of the fast-fading native language. He returned almost every summer, then during other times of the year, usually living in a Comanche household. When the matriarch of Gelo’s first host family, a revered medicine woman, adopted him as a grandson, his immersion in Comanche culture intensified. “They were very welcoming-some of the most genuine and good-humored people I’ve ever spent time with,” Gelo said. Powers had advised that, while there was already much literature about the Sioux, the Comanches were not yet well studied. Powers, a noted scholar of the Sioux culture. He had traveled to Oklahoma at the suggestion of his mentor at Rutgers University, William K. I drove around knocking on doors until somebody said, ‘Oh, yeah, they live down this road and around that corner,’” Gelo explained. I was told that they lived ‘east of Cyril,’ so I found Cyril on the map and drove down from New Jersey. “The first Comanches I met lived near Cyril, Oklahoma. Gelo’s new book, Indians of the Great Plains, is a major milestone on what has become a 30-year journey to document some of the world’s most colorful tribal cultures. His destination was an isolated Native American community that would prove, decades later, to set the foundation for a rewarding academic career. Turning onto a remote gravel road in rural Oklahoma in the summer of 1982, Dan Gelo had no idea where it would eventually lead. He goes because he wants to discover his limits.

The work opens with a dialogue of violin and cello. Sibelius structured the quartet in five movements: It is not a composition for the public at large, it is so eccentric and out of the ordinary." Sibelius later wrote about the composition: "The melodic material is good but the harmonic material could be 'lighter', and even 'more like a quartet.'" Structure and music A review in the Helsingin Sanomat noted: "The composition attracted a great deal of attention, and it is undoubtedly one of the most brilliant products in its field. The first performance was on 25 April 1910 at the Helsinki Music Institute. I will say no more." Sibelius showed it to his publisher Robert Lienau on 15 April 1909. The kind of thing that brings a smile to your lips at the hour of death. The composer wrote about his work in a letter to his wife: "It turned out as something wonderful. The Latin title, translating to "Intimate Voices" or "Inner voices", marks a "conversational quality" and "inwardness" of the music. Sibelius composed the quartet from December 1908, working on it in London in early 1909. Composed between his Third and Fourth Symphony, it remained "the only major work for string quartet of Sibelius's mature period". Afterwards he wrote no string quartets until Voces intimae in 1909. The first string quartet to receive an opus number was in 1890: the String Quartet in B-flat major (Op. In 1885 he finished the String Quartet in E-flat major, followed in 1889, after quite a few individual movements for this combination, by the String Quartet in A minor. History Īs a student, Sibelius composed several works for string quartet. It is the only major work for string quartet of his mature period. The String Quartet in D minor, Voces intimae (literal English translation: "Intimate voices" or "Inner voices"), Op. 56, is a five- movement chamber piece for two violins, viola, and cello written in 1909 by the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.

Next to the 8 essential aminos, I will try to discuss a number of them that have made the headlines recently: L-Glutamine, L-Arginine, L-Carnitine, L-Cysteine, and HMB. Next to the 8 essential amino acids, there are around 14 non-essential amino acids and a whole host of other metabolites classed as amino acids which are derived from the 8 essential ones. Since aminos are the building blocks of protein, I'm sure you get plenty of all of them, but this article will show you the benefits of supplementing with extra free form amino acids, going in to deep detail of what too much or too little of several of them can do, what they do in the body and how much and when you should use them. Of those 20-22, 8 to 10 of them are considered essential, which means that you need to get a certain amount of them in your diet to function properly - our bodies cannot synthesize them from other materials, so we only get them from food. To counter potential harmful effects, getting enough vitamins and minerals is important because they insure proper conversion of protein to amino and vice versa.ĭepending on who you talk to, there are around 20 to 22 standard amino acids. Of course, one mustn't exaggerate, because a good protein balance is what provides health and stability, without it any of the amino acids can become toxic.Īn issue that has been brought up in the case of phenylalanine, but holds true for all amino acids. That's why understanding what each of these aminos can do and getting more of them in your diet can be very beneficial to reaching specific goals, such as muscle building. These new proteins formed in the body are what make up most solid matter in the body: skin, eyes, heart, intestines, bones and, of course, muscle. When protein is digested it is once again broken down into specific amino acids, that are then selectively put together for different uses. Well, amino acids in food make up protein. That's probably still going to justify several pages. That's why I'm only going to discuss the ones that could be of potent benefit to the athlete. As a matter of fact, if I went into describing the uses of every amino acid separately I'd already have a nice novella. The load points, as appears to now be Valve's persistent and insane tradition, are dumped randomly in the middle of corridors. So you've got continuous and contiguous events, uninterrupted by cut-scenes or betwixt mission debriefings. It's testament to the developers that they made a game at all rather than hiding in a cupboard, let alone that they produced what proved to be a great shooter.Ĭertain core rules of Half-Life are understood and obeyed. They were being asked to expand on Half-Life - a game that completely redefined the first-person shooter, and to some extents gaming at large - just a year after it first appeared. Imagine the task a fresh young Randy Pitchford and his team had in front of them. Oh, and of course you're one of the Marines. But also joining in this time (quite how Gordon missed them is unclear) are the members of Race X, another crop of aliens who are not the friend of human nor Xen. It was the same story - the same invasion of the Black Mesa facility by the US Marines, Black Ops special forces, and of course the super-cross aliens of Xen. A tiny baby Gearbox, a decade ago in 1999, worked on its alternative perspective of Valve's seminal shooter. It's even strangerer to think they weren't made by Valve. It's strange to remember that Half-Life deviated off into two semi-sequel expansions before it reached Half-Life 2. Has there ever been a central character for a game who sounds more like a geography supply teacher? Which is why we should celebrate the hero at the centre of Opposing Force. Even Half-Life's Gordon only keeps the nerd up for his first name, the surname sinking into the cliché of Freeman. Pick up a random shooter and you're bound to find yourself in control of someone called something like Dirk Death, or Rick Giantballs. There are definitely too many corny names for heroes in videogames. In the 1st line of the vector I want the index across the lines of the matrix, and in the 2nd line I want the index across the columns of the respective '1'. The row and column indices of the elements determine the centers of the corresponding pixels. So I have a 2D logical matrix of 0s and 1s, and I want a vector that is 2xn where n is the number of 1s in the matrix. The resulting image is an m -by- n grid of pixels where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns in C. Each element of C specifies the color for 1 pixel of the image. The -1 in the target, the shape indicates that NumPy should automatically calculate the size of that dimension, which effectively flattens the matrix into a one-dimensional array. image (C) displays the data in array C as an image. In the below example, the reshape() function is applied to the arr variable, with the target shape specified as -1. I could really use the answer to this question if anyone found out how to do this. Also you can call each number from array by indexing. You can also use the reshape() function to convert the matrix into a different shape, including flattening it into a one-dimensional array. x 10:10:70 this will generate 10,20.70 sumx sum (x) this will give you sum of array. Convert NumPy Matrix to Array with reshape() Print("After converting the numpy matrix to an array:\n",result) The resulting result contains the elements of the matrix in a one-dimensional sequence.Īrr = np.array(,]) Values less than amin are clipped to 0, and values greater than amax are clipped to 1. amin and amax are the values in A that correspond to 0 and 1 in I. For example, the ravel() function is applied to the arr variable, converting the 2D matrix into a 1D array. I mat2gray (A,amin amax) converts the matrix A to a grayscale image I that contains values in the range 0 (black) to 1 (white). 3.2 NumPy ravel() ExampleĪlternatively, you can use the ravel() function to convert a matrix into a one-dimensional array. ‘K’ means to read the elements in the order they occur in memory, except for reversing the data when strides are negative. ‘A’: means to read the elements in Fortran-like index order if a is Fortran contiguous in memory, C-like order otherwise. ‘F’: means to index the elements in column-major i.e. ‘C’ means to index the elements in row-major using C-style order. order –, optional to read the elements of a using this index order.2.1 Syntax of flatten()įollowing is the syntax of the numpy.flatten() function.įollowing are the parameters of the flatten() function. It takes all N elements of the matrix placed into a single-dimension array. The size of a must match the size of b, unless one is a scalar.If either a or b is a scalar, MATLAB ® expands the scalar to match the size of the other input. We can use numpy.flatten() function to convert the matrix to an array. Real component, specified as a scalar, vector, matrix, or multidimensional array.

Therefore there are two sample times, starting at zero seconds. Check that both index versions refer to the same element of the array. Create a timeseries with five data samples, where each sample is a column vector of length 2. Create an array, and find the subscript index corresponding to the 14 th element of the array. # Quick examples of convert matrix to array Convert a linear index of a 3-D array to a subscript index. If you are in a hurry, below are some quick examples of how to convert the NumPy matrix to an array. Quick Examples of Convert Matrix to Array if i have a A 1 2 5 3 4 7 how can i convert it to row B 1 2 5 3 4 7. In this article, I will explain how to convert a matrix to an array in different ways with examples. Learn more about convert, function, cell, array. There are various ways to transform the matrix to an array in NumPy, for example by using flatten(), ravel() and reshape() functions. Matrix multiplication involves the action of multiplying each row vector of one matrix by each column vector of another matrix.Convert the NumPy matrix to an array can be done by taking an N-Dimensional array (matrix) and converting it to a single dimension array. Illinois lottery stands by integrity and efficiency with organizing the games.īegan as the ‘The Daily game’, Pick 3 was started on Feb 19, 1980. The Illinois lottery offers several in-house draw games that are crowd-pullers. In-house games currently offered by IL lottery: IL lottery is involved in many a charity activity including several special projects such as Illinois veterans welfare activities, breast cancer charity, research and help for the people suffering from HIV/AIDS. For the most of its history, IL lottery has remained an independent, cabinet-level department. Illinois is the one and only state lottery that’s permitted to televise their non-multi-jurisdictinal drawings across the nation. Additionally, the accounting data is verified and audited by the Mayer Hoffman McCann P.C. Ortiz & Co., LLP takes care of all the accounting related to the IL lottery. Illinois Lottery is also known as Illinois State Lottery and IL Lottery. In its first year, Pick 3 sold a total of $164 million, showing that lottery can be a very entertaining and lucrative game if done right. People got excited about this new lottery game, resulting in whopping sales of the game. In the year 1980, Pick 3, the first terminal was introduced by the Illinois lottery. In the following years, sales dropped after the lottery craze wore off, which prompted some people to predict that it is the end of the lottery. With a sales record of $129 million in the very first year, the Illinois lottery became an instant hit among the crowds.
