![]() The female's bill is brownish-grey and becomes darker in breeding plumage approaching the black of the male's bill. Its upperparts and head are brown with darker streaks around the mantle and a distinct pale supercilium. The female has no black markings or grey crown. Heads of a male (left) and an immature or female (right) The male's bill is dark grey, but black in the breeding season. This hypothesis has led to a "veritable 'cottage industry'" of studies, which have only conclusively shown that patches increase in size with age. The badge is variable in width and general size, and may signal social status or fitness. Wear and preening expose many of the bright brown and black markings, including most of the black throat and chest patch, called the "bib" or "badge". The male is duller in fresh nonbreeding plumage, with whitish tips on many feathers. The upper back and mantle are a warm brown, with broad black streaks, while the lower back, rump and upper tail coverts are greyish brown. The underparts are pale grey or white, as are the cheeks, ear coverts, and stripes at the base of the head. It has a small white stripe between the lores and crown and small white spots immediately behind the eyes (postoculars), with black patches below and above them. It has black around its bill, on its throat, and on the spaces between its bill and eyes ( lores). The male has a dark grey crown from the top of its bill to its back, and chestnut brown flanking its crown on the sides of its head. The sexes exhibit strong dimorphism: the female is mostly buffish above and below, while the male has boldly coloured head markings, a reddish back, and grey underparts. The plumage of the house sparrow is mostly different shades of grey and brown. Birds at higher latitudes, colder climates, and sometimes higher altitudes are larger (under Bergmann's rule), both between and within subspecies. Younger birds are smaller, males are larger during the winter, and females are larger during the breeding season. The median mass on the European continent for both sexes is about 30 g (1.1 oz), and in more southerly subspecies is around 26 g (0.92 oz). Females usually are slightly smaller than males. In mass, the house sparrow ranges from 24 to 39.5 g (0.85 to 1.39 oz). Wingspan ranges from 19–25 centimetres (7.5–9.8 in). Its bill is stout and conical with a culmen length of 1.1–1.5 cm (0.43–0.59 in), strongly built as an adaptation for eating seeds. The house sparrow is a compact bird with a full chest and a large, rounded head. The house sparrow is typically about 16 cm (6.3 in) long, ranging from 14 to 18 cm (5.5 to 7.1 in). The animal's conservation status is listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List.Īn audio recording of a house sparrow Description Measurements and shape ![]() Though it is widespread and abundant, its numbers have declined in some areas. It has also often been kept as a pet, as well as being a food item and a symbol of lust, sexual potency, commonness, and vulgarity. It is extensively, and usually unsuccessfully, persecuted as an agricultural pest. However, it is an opportunistic, omnivorous eater, and commonly catches insects, their larvae, caterpillars, invertebrates and many other natural foods.īecause of its numbers, ubiquity, and association with human settlements, the house sparrow is culturally prominent. For sustenance, the house sparrow routinely feeds at home and public bird feeding stations, but naturally feeds on the seeds of grains, flowering plants and weeds. Though found in widely varied habitats and climates, it typically avoids extensive woodlands, grasslands, polar regions, and hot, dry deserts far away from human development. The house sparrow is strongly associated with human habitation, and can live in urban or rural settings. Its intentional or accidental introductions to many regions, including parts of Australasia, Africa, and the Americas, make it the most widely distributed wild bird. One of about 25 species in the genus Passer, the house sparrow is native to most of Europe, the Mediterranean Basin, and a large part of Asia. Females and young birds are coloured pale brown and grey, and males have brighter black, white, and brown markings. It is a small bird that has a typical length of 16 cm (6.3 in) and a mass of 24–39.5 g (0.85–1.39 oz). The house sparrow ( Passer domesticus) is a bird of the sparrow family Passeridae, found in most parts of the world. Passer arboreus Bonaparte, 1850 ( preoccupied)

Finding these interesting rules is the problem. Between the boring rules that either die out or rules that go chaotic there is that sweet spot of interesting rules. I have spent way too many hours repeatedly trying random rules when looking for new interesting cellular automata. The vast majority of rules within this space will be junk rules with only a small fraction of a percentage being interesting rules. I wasn’t going to bother posting it until I had a better solution to the problem, but maybe these ideas can trigger a working solution in someone else’s mind.Ĭompared to my other blog posts this one is more rambling as it follows the paths I have gone down so far when trying to solve this problem.Ĭellular automata tend to have huge parameter search spaces to find interesting results within. I revisit it whenever I get inspiration for a new idea. I am not a mathematician by any means, so that is as far as infinity goes for me (I also believe that light travels in infinite speed in a vacuum, come at me bro! I am a digital being, speed of light is my universe’s sampling rate).This post has been in a draft state for at least a couple of years now. But please do the math, it is possible (but not proven) that there might exist some configurations where the exact repetition would take (billions of billions of times) longer than the known age of our universe. I should have said “(practically) never repeating” above. I’d love it if you give some sort of attribution, still cool if you don’t do it.Ĭ: You are a filthy liar! You can’t create “never repeating” patterns with a system whose state space is finite!Ī: You are right. Q: Can I use the output in my own piece, am I allowed to do that?Ī: By all means do so! Hell do it even if I said no. Also the code needs a bit of clean-up to be meaningful.Ĭ: I found this bug where the cells move in circles. I might open source the whole thing while I’m at it. Q: Why can’t I load pieces from other peoples’ links?Ī: You most probably have JavaScript disabled.Ī: I will open source the HaXe DSP library I used to program this. I wrote a DSP library with HaXe and programmed this to try it actually. ![]() ![]() Sorry.Ī: I programmed this with the HaXe programming language (it is awesome, look it up). I will make a standalone version of this at some point which will emit OSC and MIDI. Always open to suggestions.Ī: I will look into my possibilities for doing this. The ability to change the scale that is used and ability to change the overall tempo is already added in the second release. ![]() there are a lot of things that can be added, but I don’t want to clutter things. Here are replies to some common questions:Ī: I really strived for simplicity for this instrument. ![]() If you encounter something you like, just press “Copy Piece Link” and save it somewhere, or better, share it! Go add some cells, change their orientation by clicking on them, and press play, experiment, have fun. This set of rules produces chaotic results in some settings, therefore you can end up with never repeating, gradually evolving sequences. If a cell encounters another cell on its way, it turns itself clockwise. If any cell encounters a wall, it triggers a pitched sound whose frequency is determined by the xy position of collision, and the cell reverses its direction. at each cycle, the cells move themselves in the direction of their internal states. It employs a cellular automaton type logic I’ve devised to produce sound events.Įach alive cell has 4 states: Up, right, down, left. Update: Click here to get Otomata for your iPhone / iPod / iPad!

First of all, measure the beans and transfer them to a coffee grinder, after that grind the beans until they’re finely ground. Macchiato is prepared with espresso, and each standard double shot will require 0.5 to 0.8 ounces of coffee beans, depending on how strong you want the shot to be. Many coffee shops and cafes serve a variety of macchiatos, but you can also make them on your own at home with a few pieces of equipment. How to make a Macchiato?Ī macchiato is a coffee-based beverage that’s made with espresso and foam, it is similar to a cappuccino and a latte, but the major difference is the ratio of coffee, milk, and foam.Īs we discussed a traditional macchiato is just a shot of espresso garnished with a small amount of steamed milk, but there are also flavoured and iced versions you can give a try. While Latte macchiatos are traditionally served in tall glasses, when poured correctly, a macchiato will have lovely layers with the milk on the bottom and a thin layer of espresso on the top. Typically, you will find a circle of cream around the edge of the cup with a rich foam in the centre. Often, cappuccinos are served in 6-ounce cups. Generally, cappuccinos contain more espresso than latte macchiatos, so you do end up with a much more strong coffee flavour however, one of the biggest differences between a latte macchiato and a cappuccino is in the way of presentation. ![]() What is the Difference Between a Macchiato and a Cappuccino? The word macchiato itself means “Stained milk” while latte means “Coffee with milk.” A latte drink starts with espresso with the milk and foam added on top while a macchiato is basically the reverse of it, which results in a very pale coffee that is perfect for those who do not like a very strong coffee flavour. Latte macchiatos are often topped with caramel syrup. Many Americans think of a macchiato as a latte macchiato, the drink is primarily steamed milk with a small amount of espresso on top. A traditional macchiato is simply an espresso topped with foamed milk, this results in a cross mixture between a straight espresso and a cappuccino. The difference between a macchiato and a latte depends on what you mean by macchiato. What is the Difference Between a Latte and Macchiato? Moreover, different types of macchiatos have different tastes that we’ll discuss later in this article. We already discussed earlier that the sweetness of macchiato depends on the number of shots of espresso we add to it. What does a Macchiato Taste like?Ī traditional Macchiato is a layered coffee drink with a likely strong espresso flavour, this drink is mostly made up of one element, Espresso, with a splash of another, steamed milk. More the number of shots you add, the stronger of a taste you’re going to get. If you find espresso itself to be strong, then there are high chances that you’ll probably find macchiatos to be strong, because macchiatos are prepared by adding espresso to them. If we talk in terms of the amount of caffeine, there’s around 80 mg of caffeine per shot of espresso. Well, it depends on a few things, like how many shots of espresso are added in the macchiato.įor a traditional macchiato, one shot of espresso is added, and it won’t be as strong as if you get a macchiato prepared with more than one shot. People often ask if Macchiatos are stronger than coffee? The one we talked about above is assuming we’re talking about an espresso macchiato, one of the types of macchiato you’ll encounter and that we will describe in more detail later in this article. You can experience the drink not as one single flavour, but as multiple flavours and one at a time, starting with the foam on the top to the espresso at the bottom. ![]() The reason behind is that macchiatos are not meant to be experienced like a latte where the drink is more or less blended, but rather the foam first, followed by the milk, and then the flavorful espresso on the bottom. The answer is that it depends on how you like it personally, but traditionally we don’t really stir a macchiato. People often ask this question if macchiatos are meant to be stirred or not? ![]() Note: the latest versions of RazorSQL no longer include powerpc (ppc) launchers for older Macs.

"The Meaning of the Ascension." from Dogma and Preaching (San Francisco, CA: Ignatius Press, 2011). Ascension is one of the largest nonprofit and Catholic health systems in the United States as of 2021. God has a place for man!… In God there is a place for us!…"Be consoled, flesh and blood, for in Christ you have taken possession of heaven and of God's kingdom!" (Tertullian). It meant rather his new, definitive, and irrevocable presence by participation in God's royal power. In this sense, "ascension into heaven" can be something that takes place in our everyday lives…įor the disciples, the "ascension" was not what we usually misinterpret it as being: the temporary absence of Christ from the world. And we go to heaven and enter into heaven to the extent that we go to Jesus Christ and enter into him. Thus Jesus himself is what we call "heaven" heaven is not a place but a person, the person of him in whom God and man are forever and inseparably one. Finance Council The Parish Finance Council is a consultative body of lay persons mandated by Canon Law to advise the Pastor in matters pertaining to the financial affairs of the parish. Christ, the man who is in God and eternally one with God, is at the same time God's abiding openness to all human beings. It is a representative group of parishioners elected by the parish, or appointed by the pastor. The basis for this assertion is the interpenetration of humanity and divinity in the crucified and exalted man Jesus. ![]() Heaven is not a place beyond the stars, but something much greater, something that requires far more audacity to assert: Heaven means that man now has a place in God. It means that man has found an everlasting place in God. It expresses our belief that in Christ human nature, the humanity in which we all share, has entered into the inner life of God in a new and hitherto unheard of way. The Spirit will dwell in and among the disciples, the Church, and so Jesus remains with them, with us. ![]() Speed tests reveal impressive Netflix streaming speeds thanks to ExpressVPN’s proprietary Lightway protocol, even on long-distance server connections.

Because of this, computers, devices, and browsers after this date no longer trust the certificates that had been issued by Let's Encrypt. The root certificate that Let's Encrypt uses - known as the IdentTrust DST Root CA X3 - was scheduled to expire on September 30, which it did.
