![]() ![]() The album was the perfect combination of classic rock and twang, and fans immediately connected with it. But after reconnecting with those old country records, Clyne and Naffah wrote and recorded under a new moniker what would become Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers’ debut album, “Honky Tonk Union.” It was there that Clyne found inspiration in the rolling hills and the jukeboxes of small town taverns that still played Marty Robbins and Johnny Cash – music he had shed from his youth in favor of bands like Camper Van Beethoven & They Might Be Giants. The feature-length documentary was a hit with fans and critics alike.Ĭhanges within their record label and internal band issues resulted in Clyne and Naffah going on a vision quest of sorts in the Whetstone Mountains near the Clyne Ranch in Southeastern Arizona. In 2017, Here’s to Life: The story of The Refreshments, was released. Clyne then penned and performed the theme song for the Mike Judge animated TV series, King of Hill. It produced the alternative radio hit “Banditos” which also had significant airplay on MTV and earned The Freshies an appearance on The Conan O’Brien Show. The Refreshments’ debut album, “Fizzy, Fuzzy, Big & Buzzy,” became a cult classic. They also started what would become a trademark sound on all future albums by adding mariachi horns, something Clyne was influenced by while in college studying Cultural Anthropology with an ethnography study of mariachis during a three month immersion stay with a local family in Ensenada, Mexico. Starting with the seminal Tempe quartet, The Refreshments, Clyne and Naffah put the fun in rock during the 90s grunge era with a sense of humor. And whether he’s wearing his Converse high tops, boots or sandals, Clyne’s blend of punk rock, country-western and mariachi influences have made him, drummer PH Naffah, guitarist Jim Dalton and bassist Nick Scropos – collectively known as Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers – one of America’s best live rock-n-roll bands. Today, as Clyne prepares to record his 11th studio album, he continues to transform his life experiences, inspirations, observations and his own muses into timeless music. But the inspiration for the song dates back to the time Roger went to Taipei, Taiwan, as a college student to teach English during the day and busk with his guitar at night for money. “ Here ’ s to life! ” Fans around the world can be found singing the chorus of the Roger Clyne-penned fan favorite “Mekong” and toasting their glasses in unison to celebrate life through rock-n-roll. ![]()

In a video interview, on the bonus DVD included with the special edition of Mortal Kombat: Deception, Divizio stated that the mask was a "skin-tight" fit, and throughout his motion capture filming, he was sweating profusely. This mask was worn by Richard Divizio, the actor who portrayed Baraka in the game. They painted the mask to enhance its horrifying appearance and added false fingernails to appear as long fangs. While brainstorming possible character ideas for Mortal Kombat II, several designers visited a local costume shop and found a Nosferatu mask. In the new third timeline depicted in Mortal Kombat 1, Baraka was once a well-respected Outworld merchant prior to becoming a leader of Tarkatans, a species of mutated individuals who are exposed to the mysterious Tarkat virus and being outcasted to a disarrayed Outworld colony. He later ascends to the status of general, which makes him superior to all other Tarkatans, save for the half-Tarkatan Mileena. To this end, Baraka will side with anyone whose objectives would ensure the welfare of his race. His main interest is in doing what is best for his own people. As with all Tarkatans, Baraka is cannabalistic and possesses long, retractable blades extending from his forearms, making him one of the deadliest fighters in the Mortal Kombat universe.Īlthough he has had many incursions with Earthrealm's warriors, he does not appear to have any particular rivalry or hatred towards Earth or its inhabitants. Originally, this race was said to be a crossbreed between Netherrealm demons and Outworlders, but this is no longer canon it is now claimed that the Tarkatans are a separate race whose realm was conquered and annexed long ago by Shao Kahn. He belongs to a race of nomadic mutants, later revealed in Mortal Kombat: Deception to be called Tarkata, who populate the vast wastelands of Outworld. Baraka was introduced in Mortal Kombat II as a mean, frightening, and unpredictable Outworld warrior in service of Emperor Shao Kahn. ![]() ![]() ![]() According to Chris Lattner, the inventor of Swift Programming Language and Senior Director and Architect at the Developer Tools Department, Playgrounds was "heavily influenced by Bret Victor's ideas, by Light Table and by many other interactive systems". The Playgrounds feature was developed by the Developer Tools department at Apple. Playgrounds was used by Apple to publish Swift tutorials and guided tours where the REPL advantages are noticeable. This type of development environment, known as a read-eval-print loop (or REPL) is useful for learning, experimenting and fast prototyping. They have the capability of evaluating and displaying the results of single expressions as they are coded (in line or on a side bar), providing rapid feedback to the programmer. Playgrounds provide a testing ground that renders developer code in real time. The original version of the feature was announced and released by Apple Inc on June 2, 2014, during WWDC 2014. ![]() The Playgrounds feature of Xcode provides an environment for rapid experimentation and development in the Swift programming language. Starting with Xcode 5.0, GDB was no longer supplied. Starting with Xcode 4.3, the LLDB debugger was also provided starting with Xcode 4.5 LLDB replaced GDB as the default back-end for the IDE's debugger. Up to Xcode 4.6.3, the Xcode suite used the GNU Debugger (GDB) as the back-end for the IDE's debugger. Starting with Xcode 4.2, the Clang compiler became the default compiler, Starting with Xcode 5.0, Clang was the only compiler provided. In Xcode 3.2 and later, it included the Clang C/C++/Objective-C compiler, with newly-written front ends and a code generator based on LLVM, and the Clang static analyzer. In Xcode 3.1 up to Xcode 4.6.3, it included the LLVM-GCC compiler, with front ends from the GNU Compiler Collection and a code generator based on LLVM. Up to Xcode 4.1, the Xcode suite included a modified version of the GNU Compiler Collection. The Xcode suite includes most of Apple's developer documentation, and built-in Interface Builder, an application used to construct graphical user interfaces. The main application of the suite is the integrated development environment (IDE), also named Xcode. Xcode also integrates built-in support for source code management using the Git version control system and protocol, allowing the user to create and clone Git repositories (which can be hosted on source code repository hosting sites such as GitHub, Bitbucket, and Perforce, or self-hosted using open-source software such as GitLab), and to commit, push, and pull changes, all from within Xcode, automating tasks that would traditionally be performed by using Git from the command line. Xcode includes the GUI tool Instruments, which runs atop a dynamic tracing framework, DTrace, created by Sun Microsystems and released as part of OpenSolaris. ![]() Using the iOS SDK, tvOS SDK, and watchOS SDK, Xcode can also be used to compile and debug applications for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and watchOS. These helped ease the transitions from 32-bit PowerPC to 64-bit PowerPC, from PowerPC to Intel x86, from 32-bit to 64-bit Intel, and most recently from Intel x86 to Apple silicon by allowing developers to distribute a single application to users and letting the operating system automatically choose the appropriate architecture at runtime. Xcode can build fat binary ( universal binary) files containing code for multiple architectures with the Mach-O executable format. Third parties have added support for GNU Pascal, Free Pascal, Ada, C#, Go, Perl, and D. Xcode supports source code for the programming languages: C, C++, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Java, AppleScript, Python, Ruby, ResEdit (Rez), and Swift, with a variety of programming models, including but not limited to Cocoa, Carbon, and Java. They can also be downloaded and installed without the GUI.īefore Xcode, Apple offered developers Project Builder and Interface Builder to develop Mac OS X applications. Xcode includes command-line tools which enable UNIX-style development via the Terminal app in macOS. Registered developers can also download preview releases and prior versions of the suite through the Apple Developer website.

Our TredMOR extends the life of the carpet and reduces noise transmission. It is also suitable for laminate, engineered wood and floating ceramic tile systems.Īs carpet tile in the home has grown in popularity, L&P has developed TredMOR carpet tile cushion which makes carpet tile more comfortable, Cronin explained. QuietWalk Luxury Vinyl is a recycled fiber underlayment built for luxury vinyl plank, luxury vinyl tile and multi-layer flooring like WPC, SPC and rigid core vinyl planks. QuietWalk Luxury Vinyl from MP Global is similar to the supplier’s traditional QuietWalk for floating laminate and engineered wood flooring except that it is manufactured specifically to support click together vinyl planks as well as other floating floor products. OmniChoice is a high-density acoustic underlayment that reduces in-room noise levels and floor-through-ceiling sound transmission. Healthier Choice offers its OmniChoice Universal acoustical underlayment for wood, luxury vinyl and tile. ECF also features Ultra-Fresh antimicrobial protection. At 1/8˝ thick, ECF is a layer of foam and cork with a 6 mil vapor barrier that is infused across the surface of the underlayment. “Quality underlayment (for carpet and/or hard surface) improves longevity, enjoyment, appearance, wellness, sound reduction and other essential flooring attributes.”Įco Cork Foam (ECF) by Palziv North America offers a patented blend of polyethylene foam and cork. Offered Andrew Stafford, vice president marketing and technical at Healthier Choice Flooring, “The industry as a whole is advancing in its understanding of the vital role a premium carpet cushion plays in the performance of any floor covering,” said Stafford. “These barriers have come a long way in keeping spills on top of the cushion to allow for common household spills to be cleaned up,” he explained. The cushion, vapor barrier and peel-and-stick tape are inclusive in the products.” Palziv underlayments can be used for a variety of flooring applications, including vinyl plank, laminate, attached pad laminate and engineered wood flooring, LaMori added.Īccording to L&P’s Cronin, the most important advances in today’s high-performance carpet cushion has been in the performance of moisture barriers. Michele LaMori, executive vice president for Palziv North America, noted, “With Palziv underlayment products, you get an all-in-one installation solution. “For hard surfaces, you also want to create a comfortable walking surface and you will need moisture/climate control to help mitigate expansion and contraction of the hardwood or laminate material, especially for below grade installations, and you will have to also consider sound reduction with hard surfaces,” Vozza said. ![]() Technologies used in underlayment today differ depending on the flooring surface they are intended for, reported Julia Vozza, director of marketing at MD PRO. Bosch pointed to the company’s QuietWalk LV product as an example of a product that provides supplemental sound-deadening. “Performance under these floors requires a durable underlayment that maintains its integrity or thickness over the life of the floor as well as noise and moisture control,” pointed out Mike Cronin, director of national accounts and marketing at Leggett & Platt (L&P) Flooring Products.Īlthough many hard surface flooring manufacturers, particularly those making luxury vinyl tile products (LVT), have added an attached backing to limit the need for a separate underlayment, applications such as multifamily housing often require additional sound-deadening between floors, which cannot be achieved without the use of an additional acoustic layer, explained Jack Bosch, director of marketing at MP Global. Underlayment for hard surface flooring is a demanding category. Foam, cork and rubber underlayments for hard surface installations have experienced a surge of technological innovation.” The underlayment market has needed to keep pace with this growth, he explained, “Resulting in a full range of underlayment options available to improve durability, comfort and longevity of finished installations. Recent years have seen an influx of innovative hard surface floor coverings introduced to the industry, said John Lio, director of marketing at Sika-DriTac. ![]() While the top surface of flooring - hard or soft - makes the first impression, the unseen and often unknown underlay or cushion beneath the floor lays down the foundation that determines how that flooring will perform. ![]() |
