![]() Convergent margins with oblique plate trajectories will also generate strike-slip faults in accretionary prisms, forearcs and backarcs. The characteristic zig zag dismembering of mid-ocean spreading ridges is caused by ridge transforms that accommodate the strain from oblique spreading. They form in oceanic and continental crust/lithosphere. Strike-slip faults occur in most plate tectonic settings, primarily at plate boundaries (like most other fault types). The present trajectory along Alpine Fault is also transpressional. Pacific plate trajectories at Hikurangi margin become increasingly oblique from north to south. The right-lateral Alpine Fault transform and its strike-slip fault splays (Marlborough fault system), in the context of other plate tectonic elements: the Hikurangi subduction zone that is linked to Alpine Fault via Hope Fault and the subduction zone at the south end of South Island where oceanic crust of the Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Pacific plate (opposite polarity to Hikurangi). But he was right… Jumping ahead a few years (and encapsulating several decades of science history in a single sentence), we now know this fault as the Alpine Fault, a dextral, or right-lateral transform strike-slip fault that also doubles as the boundary between the Pacific and Australian plates. ![]() Wellman’s hypothesis turned a few heads and invited its share of derision. The consensus at the time was that crustal movements were dominated by vertical displacements. The dislocation was the result of 600 km lateral shift along a major fault. In 1940 Harold Wellman and Dick Willett proposed that two groups of rocks at either end of the South Island of New Zealand, each having the same stratigraphic and lithologic characteristics, were at one time a single unit. The fault splays are clearly delineated by valleys. The intersection of splay faults that trend northeast indicated by black dots.

![]() Most of the cashews we get here come from India and I buy 100 Lbs. I work at the Ontario Food Terminal in Canada and have been trying to bring these 2 fruits up here from Guatemala but they are just too delicate to transport and would spoil in transit. I think we call it Jocote Marañon because when they rippen the beautiful colors are similar to those of the jocotes. If you compare the shape of the seeds they look similar. The difference is that this one grows the seed on the outside. All rights reserved.Īctually this fruit is related to the mango. Last but not least, make sure you don’t over burn them as it happened to me. It’s best to roast the armored seeds in the left overs of slowly burning charcoal or wood logs. ![]() The oils and fats inside the armored shield also produce a lot of smoke as they burn. The shield carapace produces a very strong smell as the oils and fats in it begin to burn. Things to keep in mind before you go burning the cashew armored seed: 1. So you need to burn or toast the protective cover first (see picture 1 below) to get it to crack open and give you the already roasted nut (see picture 2 below). Well, the seed, but with with a carapace. As Claudia pointed out, the nut comes out of the funny looking stem, which is actually the seed. The Cashew Nut Origin Aside: As requested by several of the readers of AntiguaDailyPhoto, here is the recipe for turning the seeds of jocote marañón (cashew mombin) into cashew nuts. Can you say hawkÅttes?ĭo you want to know which part of the jocote de marañón produces the cashew nut, do you? Well, just ask and we will be happy to give you the glory details of just how the cashew nuts are produced. Last year we learnt that jocotes or red mombins are related to cashew mombins and thus both fruits are called jocotes. Although I think the word apple does not apply for the cashew mombin or for the caimito either, which, I recently learnt, is called in star apple in English go figures! I think the English language needs more fruity words -). Well there you have it, the jocote de marañón or cashew mombin or as Javier calls it, cashew apple. Even though most people are familiar with cashew nuts (I think), I am almost sure many people do not have the slightest idea about the fruit that produces the cashew nuts. ![]() ![]() This text is based on this Wikipedia article.

Firstly, you scroll through your instruments and sounds using the right-hand screen. There are a few caveats which will have you looking up from the unit from time to time. ![]() But best of all, it includes the name of each sound associated with the pad, making it a great instant visual reference for live performance. ![]() While the Maschine MkII has a simple mixer with levels associated to pads, the Maschine Studio mixer features full colour-coded metering of eight channels at a time. But keeping track of unlimited options is difficult. With the Maschine 2 software, you can have an unlimited number of groups, and you can also stack different sounds into the same bank. Though even with the built-in stand angling the screens toward you, you’ll need to resist the urge to constantly hunch over the unit.Īnother great bit of visual feedback is the mixer. You simply transition from pads to buttons and knobs, without ever taking your hands off the device. But you had to look at your computer screen and switch to a mouse and keyboard to edit the take you just laid down. It’s all things you could do prior to Maschine Studio. Once you’ve selected the note with the page left and right buttons, you can adjust Position, Length, Pitch and Velocity with the knobs. Hit ‘Events’, then select the instrument you want to edit by hitting the pad for that instrument, and you’re in. Now when you nudge and adjust notes using Maschine, you can see what you’re doing on the unit. You can go really deep into editing on the device. You can also zoom horizontally and vertically on both screens with the twist of a knob, which alone is an improvement over mouse and key combinations. So on one side you might have your scene pattern, and the piano roll or pad layout on the right. While the right-hand screen takes you deeper and deeper into your workflow, the left-hand screen tags along one step behind, always making sure you’ve got a look at the bigger picture. This is most noticeable when working with the arrange panes. NI has set up the dual screens to constantly work in tandem. In use, it’s a lot more friendly then it might appear. If you run into anyone giving you a Maschine Studio demo, at some point in the spiel, they’ll close the lid on their laptop and keep playing along like it’s a no-look pass. While not quite Retina-level resolution, it’s like staring at a pair of smartphone screens.Īnd this is where Native Instruments is hanging its hat these two little screens are supposed to supplant your computer’s. Those connections would be killer additions in a live setting - say, playing guitar and starting and stopping backing tracks with my foot - which is not what the Studio was designed for.īack to the surface, and the first thing you notice - also the fundamental difference between the older units and Studio - are the upgraded screens. Which makes me wish my MkII had more than just the 1-in/1-out MIDI interface. On the back you also get three MIDI outputs and one MIDI input as well as two footswitch connections. When you put it in a sentence like that, it doesn’t sound revolutionary, but controllers are all about workflow, and the Studio amps-up tactile interaction with Maschine more than you can tell by looking at pictures of knobs. What do you get with that additional real estate? 19 extra buttons, a jog wheel, level meter and master control section, and two high-resolution full-colour displays. You could definitely schlep it around, but not being able to shove it in a laptop bag makes it feel like it’s meant to stay put. It’s not as portable as my Maschine MkII, coming in at an extra 60% in total size, and an extra 50% heavier. It’s funny though, because while I’ve been focusing on the live side of Maschine, I’ve also had the pleasure of playing around with the new Maschine Studio controller - which, as the name says, is leaning in the opposite direction. But recently I’ve been trying to work out how to integrate it into my band’s live show: a combination of Maschine, Ableton Live and a full band. I’ve had a Maschine MkII for a few years now, mostly using it to produce tracks and complement my Logic workflow. I was hooked it was a ‘next step’ moment for me. The buffering, the sounds, the ability to adjust entire sections without ever slowing down or having to stare at a screen seemed liberating for someone who’d always played traditional instruments. ![]() I was at a music conference watching an artist build songs completely on-the-fly, pure improvisation but with any sound at his fingertips. The whole reason I got into Native Instruments’ Maschine was because of performance. ![]() Free Trial version available for download and testing with usually a time limit or limited functions.

Protesters at the groundbreaking insisted light rail would be dangerous and a waste of money. After Salt Lake City won the bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics in 1995, UTA used the city's host status to accelerate obtaining funding through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Funding for the light rail line, however, remained uncertain. On October 10, 1988, Congress approved $5 million in funds to preserve land along the proposed light rail corridor. Light rail in the Salt Lake Valley was first seriously discussed in the late 1980s to provide an alternative to traffic congestion on I-15, but the idea was met with criticism. Ridership for the fourth quarter of 2012 was reported to be at 60,600, making it the ninth-busiest light rail system in the United States of America. ![]() By the beginning of 2008, the expanded system of 17.5 miles (28.2 km) served an estimated 40,000 passengers each day. A daily ridership of 15,000 was expected for the initial 15-mile (24 km) line in 1999. īoth the University Line and its extension to the University Medical Center were completed ahead of schedule. ![]() A letter of intent signed with the Federal Transit Administration on Septemsecured the remaining funding for the light rail lines. The extensions to South Jordan, West Valley City, Draper, and the Airport were funded in part by a Salt Lake County sales tax increase that would pay for all four of the proposed TRAX extensions. Several months later, in August 2013, the Blue Line was extended further south to Draper (which opened August 18, 2013). In 2013 the Green Line was realigned slightly north and away from the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub, allowing for the opening of the extension to the Salt Lake City International Airport. With the opening of these two extensions in 2011, the TRAX lines were renamed as colors instead of destinations, with the Blue Line running from the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub to Sandy, the Red Line running from the University of Utah Medical Center to the Daybreak community in South Jordan, and the Green Line running from the intermodal hub to the West Valley Intermodal Hub. In August 2011, two extensions to South Jordan and West Valley City were completed. An extension to the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub was completed in April 2008. The second line from downtown to the University of Utah was completed in 2001 and extended in 2003. The first line, running from downtown Salt Lake City south to Sandy, was completed in 1999. Varying based on projected ridership, the Blue Line typically operates 3-4 car trains, the Green Line 2-3 car trains, and the Red Line 2-4 car trains.

(Associated Press)Ī leather-clad Kelleher once rode a Harley-Davidson motorcycle to an employee party. Herb Kelleher, the chain-smoking former chief executive of Southwest Airlines, straddles a Harley-Davidson motorcycle given to him by his pilots at a company chili cook-off in Dallas in 1994. After Southwest’s initial annual profit, Kelleher started the industry’s first employee profit-sharing program. He and Barrett routinely sent notes to mark events such as birthdays, marriages or deaths. ![]() Kelleher developed a loyal following at Southwest because he gave his workforce broad latitude and personal attention. They formed a colorful Texas troika of airline chiefs, with Kelleher known for his humor, Crandall for his acerbic personality and confrontations with union leaders, and Bethune for his penchant for profanity-laced anecdotes. In the 1990s, Kelleher’s CEO tenure overlapped with those of Crandall and Gordon Bethune of Continental, then based in Houston. “Herb did a lot of crazy stuff, deliberately eccentric stuff, and that worked in the context of the kind of company he was trying to build,” former American Airlines CEO Robert Crandall, a close friend, said in a 2012 interview with Bloomberg. He was once seen shimmying in an Elvis Presley jumpsuit for the cover of Texas Monthly magazine. Known as Herb to employees, passengers and shareholders, Kelleher had a booming laugh and lent his name and image to promotions for Southwest. |
