![]() So moving and stirring is the music from "Rocky" that it's still being used today, albeit in more of a cameo role, but no less important. I know that from reactions in letters that I've received that it helped people emotionally." "Music that moved people is the kind of music I wanted to write," Conti told GNT in 2002 "and the music seemed to affect people. It's a cathartic piece both for the character and the audience and it's a pure emotional outpouring and one of the most powerful pieces of film music ever composed. So I said 'let's make it peppy and fast and give him some inspiration.'"Īrguably as powerful, however, is "The Final Bell," the cue that plays as the fight ends and Rocky is searching the ring for Adrian. ![]() So I had the fanfare at the beginning and then the theme which is very sad, because this guy's a loser. "In the tenth reel," Conti continued, "he gets to train for a big fight, and we want to manipulate the audience to think that he can win. He loses." Conti wrote three other thematic pieces aside from the main theme, a brass fanfare ("We were talking about what heroic music is, and I hear brass and I hear loud when it's time to go into battle"), a driving cue for the eventual fight scene called "Going The Distance," and the dramatic finale "The Final Bell." But the film-and series-would be defined by "Gonna Fly Now," especially that montage. Responsible for the "Rocky" theme and score is American composer Bill Conti, whose other famous works include the score and song for James Bond adventure " For Your Eyes Only" and the classic theme tunes to TV's "Dynasty" and "Cagney & Lacey." Rocky's theme is subtitled "Gonna Fly Now," a result of adding lyrics to the theme for the big training sequence, the first of many montages across the eight films in the series including, the latest, " Creed II." The franchise has long been criticized for being formulaic, and while that's not especially incorrect, what's interesting is that perhaps the most predictable moment in the films-the appearance of "Gonna Fly Now"-is the one most look forward to. ![]() ![]() And when we hear Bill Conti's stirring theme from " Rocky" we feel passion, we feel inspiration, and the confidence to beat the odds. This is why when we hear Bernard Herrmann's "Psycho" strings we immediately feel panic when we listen to Ennio Morricone's harmonica strains from "Once Upon A Time In The West," we feel the tension of an approaching gunfight. The point of a music score is to illustrate what's going on in a character's head and in their heart. ![]()

![]() ![]() One vulture in particular that scavenges often is the Black Vulture. The first bird that people think of when it comes to scavenging is vultures. Examples of such species in North America are black bear ( Ursus americanus), grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos), and wolverine ( Gulo gulo). Carrion simply refers to the decaying flesh of dead animals, aka the food source of scavengers. Cockroaches are scavengers that eat all kinds of materials including paper, clothing and dead animals and plants. Scavengers, eating dead animals when they can find them. The turkey vulture ( Cathartes aura) of the Americas is one of the only bird species that has a sense of smell, which is utilized to find carrion. While most carnivores hunt and kill their prey, scavengers usually consume animals that have either died of natural causes or been killed by another carnivore. Many scavengers are a type of carnivore, which is an organism that eats meat. Some birds are specialized as scavengers, most notably the New World vultures (family Cathartidae) and Old World vultures (family Accipitridae). A scavenger is an organism that mostly consumes decaying biomass, such as meat or rotting plant material. Many marine crustaceans are important scavengers, including most species of crabs and gammarids. Invertebrates are the most abundant scavengers in terrestrial ecosystems, especially earthworms and insects such as beetles, flies, and ants. However, scavengers are important in the initial stages of biomass decomposition and recycling. The valuable ecological service of recycling of dead biomass is not just performed by scavengers-other detritivores such as bacteria, and fungi are also important, and in fact are largely responsible for the final stages of the decomposition and humification process. Some common examples of scavengers include vultures, hyenas, ravens, crows, jackals, and certain species of beetles and flies. ![]() ![]() Excessive accumulations of dead plants can also bind up much of the nutrient capital of ecosystems, so that not enough is recycled for use by living plants, and ecosystem productivity becomes constrained by nutrient limitations. A similar effect can be caused to living plants by dead plant biomass. Large quantities of dead animal biomass can represent a indirect health hazard to living animals, by enhancing the survival of pathogens. Scavengers provide a very important ecological service, because they help to rapidly reduce dead animals and plants to simpler constituents, and thereby prevent an excessive accumulation of dead biomass. Scavengers are part of the detrital food web of ecosystems. Long misunderstood as dim-witted, gluttonous scavengers with a demonic laugh, the hyena has a serious PR crisis on its paws, says Arjun Dheer, a Ph.D. ![]() ![]() ![]() GOLDENJOYSTICK2019 : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).SUMMERALI : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).ANNIVERSARYDYINGLIGHT :x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).ELECTRONICS : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).HORIZON : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).EXPCALIBUR : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).SCORPION : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).GRANARY : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).WINTERSALE : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).#DyingToKnow : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).BROADCAST : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).CROSSBOW : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).BETTERWITHFRIENDS : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).BARBERSHOP : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).SILENT NIGHT : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).NVIDIADOCKET : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).ELAJJAZ : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).LARYNGITIS : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).DYINGLIGHTGOLD : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).FIRECRACKERS : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).BLACKFRIDAY : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).BESTGAMERALI : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).COMMUNITY : x3 Gold Tier Dockets (Expired).YEAROFTHEPIG : x3 Gold Tier Dockets (Expired).BLACKFRIDAYLIGHT : x3 Gold Tier Dockets (Expired).THIS IS NOT A DOCKET : x1 Premium Docket (Expired).#SAVEHARRAN : x1 Premium Docke (Expired).RUSTY KNIVES : x1 Premium Docket (Expired).OCTOBER2020 : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).GOODBYE SUMMER : x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired). ![]() VYSOTZKY: x1 Gold Tier Docket (Expired).GRE31SVNBOHFUDQH : x Last Hope Blueprint (Expired).WeilJons: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.KISIK: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.ALISON: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.Just: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.Magicow: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.JACKSON: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.SH4RKJK: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.Стич: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.DLWHEN: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.DYING2SURVIVE: Redeem this code and receive x1 Gold Tier Docket.Below, we have shared all the expired codes, you can try redeeming these expired codes and see if they work for you: – Expired Codes⇓Īs we have mentioned above, the redeem codes will work for only a specific time period.

![]() ![]() Something halfway between the framework and the CMS, free software downloadable and installable from here. If this is your first approach to the intersection between Drupal and JavaScript and it may even be your first approach to Drupal and its world, it’s convenient that you review this section beforehand, in which we are going to share some terms and names that we will use throughout the tutorial.īy this way you will know what we are talking about at any time in the manual and you will be able to follow the cases, examples and exercises more easily.ĭrupal: Our technological platform of reference in this context. There we go! 2- JavaScript and Drupal: basic concepts This tutorial is only for people related to the Drupal backend. Neither does it deal with Drupal Theming issues and its approach to them is only tangential. This guide does not contain information related to JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, Vue) or about the use of Drupal headless as decoupled. This works in Drupal 8 and Drupal 9.ĭISCLAIMER: This guide is actually a manual for the integration of JavaScript code in Drupal-based projects, but only in the context of implementing Drupal modules. ![]() In a complementary way, you can download all the code from the exercises grouped as a single Drupal custom module, available here: /davidjguru/javascript_custom_module. As always, I hope it can be useful to someone. So although my first intention was to move all this content to an open book format like git-book or something like that, I’ve actually grouped the first two together and I’m going to publish a review of the original post translated into English. “Thank you for not putting it behind the Medium payment wall”.“We have people in the company from other countries, do you have it translated into English?”.“Hey, this is wrong, you have to check it”.Well, the fact is that since the publication, I received three basic types of feedback: Here you can reach the original publication in Medium, the so called: JavaScript & Drupal 101 TUTORIAL HANDBOOK TOTAL MAX POWER 2000 (I can swear I had a lot of fun thinking about the title). What was initially going to be brief has become a kind of reference guide on JavaScript and Drupal and (as far as I know) is now part of the training resources shared in many companies in Spain and other Latin American countries. A couple of months later, in February 2020, I had a tutorial of more than eleven thousand words written in Castillian (Spanish from Spain) that I published in my Medium profile. Some time ago (around December 2019, but it seems a century has passed ) I started writing what I thought would be a simple guide to integration between JavaScript and Drupal. It includes some exercises that I have integrated.ģ- How to include JavaScript code in DrupalĤ- Just a little bit more of JavaScript in Drupalħ- JavaScript without JavaScript: #ajax, #statesĨ- Troubleshooting: Problems and SolutionsĮxercise 1: Creating a basic custom moduleĮxercise 2: Defining our new custom libraryĮxercise 3: Defining our initial JavaScript fileĮxercise 4: Adding libraries to our Drupal custom moduleĮxercise 5: Passing values to the IIFE formatĮxercise 6: Transfering values trough drupalSettingsĮxercise 7: Custom Visit Counter with JavaScriptĮxercise 9: Dialog Window from the global object DrupalĮxercise 10: Image Board from Unsplash using Drupal Behaviors And all through a combination of theory and practice. ![]() In this guide you will learn basic concepts of JavaScript, the terminology used in Drupal, functions, methods and common mechanics to enrich your projects by make them run with executable code on the client side.

With Lusben’s help, we’ll be ready in June to welcome our customers and make their holiday on the water an unforgettable experience.” For both us and the owner company, working with the shipyard meant having the confidence that all our requests would be handled promptly and professionally. The work we carried out in synergy with their team was incredible. His words were echoed by Pierfrancesco Cafaro, the skipper of Maltese Falcon: “I’ve had the chance in the past to appreciate Lusben and the services they offer, which is why I was happy to collaborate with them again. It was a great privilege to work on a boat like the Maltese Falcon, but the congratulations really go to the whole team coordinated by site manager Alessio Centelli for the great job done,” said Gianni Paladino, commercial director, Lusben. “We couldn’t have made it through to this technical launch, while ensuring the high standards of quality we want to offer Lusben customers, had it not been for our professional team’s expertise in tackling such a complex project. ![]() Lusben managed a delicate refit operation, with challenging delivery times that has not only improved the aesthetics and comfort of the yacht, but also returned it to the owner company boasting better performance and more environmentally friendliness, as a result of reduced fuel consumption and emissions achieved by upgrading the on-board systems. The work commissioned also included routine maintenance. ![]() Along with that it has a range of up to 4,600 nautical miles. The maximum speed it can reach is an impressive 19 knots. It’s powered by a pair of twin Deutz engines that allow it to cruise at 16 knots. The teak deck was also replaced and the interiors refurbished to offer guests an even more welcoming, elegant and comfortable night area, plus a fully appointed galley to serve them lunch and dinner. The Maltese Falcon is not built for speed, of course, but it does well for a vessel of this size. Another big job was repainting the entire hull in its distinctive ‘Perini blue’ colour, which requires special working conditions because of the chemical and physical characteristics of the paint. Once the yacht was in the new floating dock, Lusben’s team of professionals began the refit project itself, which involved a long list of operations, from maintaining the on-board systems – generators, main engines, propellers – to work on the iconic mast-handling system, which was a huge challenge given its incredible complexity. Before the refit itself, major work had to be performed on the Livorno yard’s floating dock, with a special system designed and built to accommodate the yacht’s 6m draught and hull shape. ![]() Lusben has taken on a complex operation in terms of the facilities and equipment needed for the refit of this highly distinctive sailing yacht. ![]() |
