This feature is also available through the context menu of Windows Explorer, and provides a way to start the Picasa editor as well. Fullscreen view is available in slideshow mode, by holding down the ctrl+alt keys while in "edit view", or by pressing the Alt Gr key. There is only an "edit view" with a viewing area. Picasa also has an experimental feature that allows searching for images that contain certain colors with the "color" operator. The search bar will search filenames, captions, tags, folder names, and other metadata. Searches are live, so that displayed items are filtered as one types. Picasa has a search bar that is always visible when viewing the library. However, it cannot search local files for existing XMP keywords. Keywords attached to JPEG files in Picasa can be read by other image library software like Adobe Photoshop Album, Adobe Bridge, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, digiKam, Aperture, and iPhoto.Īccording to the Picasa Readme, Picasa can parse Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data. In addition to this, Picasa attaches IPTC Information Interchange Model (IPTC) keyword data to JPEG files, but not to any other file format. Picasa uses picasa.ini files to keep track of keywords for each image. A user can view and edit RAW files and save the finished edit (as JPG, or other forms) without any changes to the original RAW file.

The bleak and highly personal 4th Symphony is the masterwork from this period, but the string quartet ‘Intimate Voices’ of 1908 should not be underestimated. Sibelius had undergone several operations to remove a tumour in his throat. $ ĭeath preyed heavily on the minds of both Schubert and Sibelius when they were composing the two string quartets on this new CD from the Ehnes Quartet. The piece was much acclaimed and greatly admired by, amongst others, Busoni who was to become one of Sibelius’s closest friends in later years.Īs is also the case with Voces Intimae, the recording of the A minor work is especially vivid, beautifully balanced and spaced.Īltogether these are very rewarding performances and the disc is thoughtfully produced. The new version is fugal in places but is best described as 'academically contrapuntal'. The finale, which is a little too long, is a replacement for the original, Beethoven-inspired fugal one. The third movement is a Scherzo with two trios and is full of “youthful exuberance” to quote Jorma Daniel Lünenbürger in his useful and quite analytical booklet notes. The first movement is the longest and is in sonata-form with three subjects. I’m sure that Sibelius would have expected such an approach but it will take a little getting used to for some modern listeners. To emphasise this Conrad Muck, who here plays Violin I - apparently an instrument made in 1741 - uses a subtle but obvious portamento when the melody is, intervallically speaking, rather wide-ranging. ![]() The second movement, an Adagio ma non troppo is unusually rich in harmony and overflows with lavish melodic inspiration. It's a fine large-scale creation and what especially surprised me was how romantic it is in style. ![]() It is a student work composed when Sibelius was about twenty at a time when he was studying at the Helsinki Conservatoire. The "intimate voices", whatever they are, played a central role in the composer's recovery.Īnother particularly attractive feature about this CD is the coupling of the Quartet in A minor. This piece represents a sense of rising from pain into some sort of light although the D minor is seriously maintained to the end. I say ‘uplifting’ because the work was composed just after Sibelius underwent a potentially life-threatening throat operation. They will have spent many a happy hour working on this uplifting piece and have reached conclusions represented by this interpretation. For me it is sufficient to remember that the Leipziger Streichquartett, who were formed in 1988 and who have made about seventy recordings, have played this work on numerous occasions. The present performance captures the work marvellously although, as I say, I am not able to make comparisons. Like the Fifth Symphony the form of this work, as you see, is unusual and uniquely Sibelius. After that, to provide balance, there are two movements, an Allegretto which reminded me of the sound-world of the middle movement of the Fifth Symphony (begun initially in 1915) and a windy Allegro. This marks the central point of the work but at the heart of this movement is a set of three pp chords over which Sibelius wrote the words Voces intimae. The longest movement, at well over ten minutes, is an Adagio. Then comes a very short and scurrying Vivace which may well remind you of the finale of the Third Symphony (1907) written just a few years before. I see the pattern of the work like this: two relatively short movements – an Andante leading into an Allegro moderato. The D minor String Quartet Voces intimae is in five movements. I'll just mention three discs: with Voces Intimae the Tempera (BIS - review) couple the B flat Quartet, the Gabrieli (Chandos CHAN8742) couple Sibelius’s Piano Quintet and the Fitzwilliam Quartet (Decca Eloquence- review) couple it, surprisingly, with Delius. At the latest count there seem to be at least eight versions of Voces Intimae in the current catalogue so an attempt to compare is likely to be longwinded. Opportunities to hear the chamber works ‘live’ are quite rare so it’s good that we have a choice of performances on CD. There are also a few pieces for strings and piano like the Piano Trio of 1884. Then comes this A minor quartet of 1889 and there's at least one other apart from the B flat quartet known as Voces Intimae. There are, for example some single movements for quartet composed when he was a young man. That's fair enough but he certainly wrote pieces for chamber groupings. ![]() It may well be that it is not chamber music that immediately comes to mind when you think of Sibelius.

Therefore, we use a simple transfer learning procedure which inherits knowledge from similar or of the same family language. Second, even with the augmented dataset, the fact of training a deep model from scratch could be very long and sometimes cannot meet a good local minimum. Therefore, some data augmentation techniques will be evaluated and investigated to increase the number and variation of samples in the dataset. Firstly, the current pre-built dataset is still small which is usually a main drawback for deep learning based methods. The aim of this paper is to extend that earlier research to work on noising data. We adapted some automatic recognition methods and conducted experiments on the manually denoised dataset. In our previous work, we have built the first dataset of champ inscription images, manually segmented them in glyphs and annotated by an ancient Cham expert. To conserve Cham heritage as well as to make them widely accessible and readable by users, digitization and recognition of ancient Cham glyphs become necessary. Unfortunately, these inscriptions are being abrasive by the time. Ancient Cham glyphs have mostly appeared in inscriptions on stones at some museums in Vietnam. ![]() ![]() ![]() Secondly, we asked how a specific interactive, touchscreen feature might positively contribute to third graders' writing samples. The first aim of this study, therefore, is to understand how multimodality and technology can work together to support young people's reading and writing. Guided by Vygotsky's notion of co‐construction and aspects of the New London Group's multiliteracies framework, we built an original multimodal tablet tool and examined how 51 third graders in Costa Rica used it to co‐construct and design meaning in a reading‐to‐writing activity. To date, few studies have examined how touchscreen devices may influence primary school students' reading and writing practices. ![]() Many researchers and educators believe that reading and writing instruction needs to change in order to reflect the multimodal, technological, interactive nature of communication today. ![]() These arrangements of media use are analysed through a conceptual lens of digital dexterity, which locates children’s capacities to use mobile media interfaces and digital products not simply in terms of physical skills or developmental capacities, but importantly, through the design and affordances of mobile technologies and touch-based interfaces, cultures of interactive play and digital parenting, and economies of digital platforms and technology product design. Moving across these interconnected sites, this book explores how young children are currently configured as consumers, users, and subjects of mobile media technologies. The chapters draw on research that extends from the household to social media platforms and public spaces. ![]() The book provides a critical and collective perspective on the ways young children’s mobile media culture is currently being reshaped. This book investigates young children’s everyday digital practices, embodied digital play, and digital media products – such as mobile applications, digital games, and software tools. Limitations of the existing literature are discussed, and a strong case is made for further research in the area, particularly that which builds on learning theory and existing qualitative research. No evidence was found for an impact of text-relevant hotspots. Real-time conversation prompts improved the quality and quantity of adult-child talk, and AR supported language learning ostensibly via increased motivation. Inbuilt narration had a positive impact on story comprehension and word learning compared to reading alone but not shared reading with an adult. Of the 1,081 studies screened, 11 studies were identified, which examined four features of mobile touchscreen applications: inbuilt narration, real-time conversation prompts, augmented reality (AR), and hotspots. Experimental studies published from 2010 onwards with children aged 3 to 11 years old were included. This systematic review synthesizes the evidence on the impact of features of mobile applications on children’s language learning. Mobile touchscreen applications present new opportunities for children’s language learning. ![]() ![]() Story Elements Teaching With a Mountain View/Story Elements via Going over the key components that make up a story will make your students better readers.
