If one of your triplets is your seat wind, don’t forget your extra 10 points for 3.1 Value Honor.Įxactly what it sounds like you have four triplets in your winning hand. Consider if you have two pairs of winds early on. Similar to Small Three Dragons, but it’s marginally easier because there are four winds compared to only three dragons. Keep in mind a triplet of dragons is worth 10 points on its own, so this hand actually score 60 points. Difficult hand to pull off since dragon tiles often get discarded early, especially when pulling together the third, hence the higher point value. Consider going for this only if you have two pairs of dragons very early on. You have two triplets of two dragons and a pair of the remaining dragon. 3.2.1 Small Three Dragons (小三元) : 40 points.Exposing early a couple of sets of the same suit could tip off your opponents. The difficulty with this hand comes when you claim tiles. It’d be nice if your other honor tiles could be a dragon or a seat wind for an extra 10 points, but don’t be penny-wise and pound-foolish – the honors are to decrease the number of same-suit tiles you need to get, so don’t be picky. You want to consider this hand when you begin with a number tiles in one suit, probably around seven. You only have tiles in one suit and honor tiles. So without further ado… The Ten Patterns to Learn First When you first get your tiles, you should consider whether you are close to making one or more of these patterns and work to shape your hand toward them. There are 10 individual patterns worth around 30 points in ZJ. Meanwhile, if on the 5th round the leader discards into your 30-point 4.1 All Triplets hand, you gain 120 points jumping to +100, the other two opponents each lose 25 points and are down to -45 each, and the (now former) leader has to pay you out 70 points, bringing their score down from +60 to -10! Even if that happened 3 more rounds in a row, you (and the other two opponents) would be at -20 and the leader would be at +60. ![]() You’re only down a net 20 points off the lead. If you accidentally discard into someone’s winning 1.1 All Simples hand, you only lose 5 points (along with the other two losing players) and the winner only gets a total of 15 points. The Par Score’s setting at 25 points encourages this as well it allows you to play a little more riskily and go for those bigger, slightly more complex patterns. ![]() And if you spend all of your time making 1-, 5-, and 10-point hands, you’ll quickly be outpaced if even one person manages to win a hand around 30 points. The patterns set around 30 points are reasonably quick to make, not too much slower to make than the 5- and 10-point patterns. The answer to the first two questions, and the focus of this article, is based on the fact that the game steers players toward making hands worth around 30 points. But that will come in time, and as you play, you’ll see that many of them are just variations on other patterns, and not nearly as much to remember as you think. The answer to the last questions is yes, eventually, it’d be good to know all of the patterns. Do you go for the big patterns because they are worth a ton of points? Do you go for the small ones because they sound easier to make? Do you really need to memorize this big freakin’ list of scoring elements?! Awesome! But then you look at the list of all these patterns and are totally overwhelmed. So you’ve learned the Common Core of Mahjong and you’re trying to up your game and break into true Zung Jung.

Later this spring,we will email you and invite you to vote for the pieces that you believe are the most essential “old” repertoire.Welcome to Elektra’s repertoire resource for conductors of treble choirs. ![]() We look forward to reading your suggestions. Limit your suggestions to music composed before 1975. You can also add your own suggestions of pieces that you believe are part of the essential repertoire for choral singers. Take a look at the list of essential repertoire that Robert Eaton and I have started (). What are the old gems that should remain part of the essential repertoire that singers must experience in high school and college choir? A few will continue to sing in a choir in their community, church, or synagogue. Assume that some of our students will sing in high school choir for four years and then in a college choir for four years. It is up to choral music educators of all grade and age levels to teach these choral gems in order to keep them on our list of essential repertoire or they will be forgotten. There are online lists of “essential repertoire” and books with “essential repertoire” in their titles, but most of these lists are heavily skewed toward music composed within the last 40 years. These are topics for a future article and are not presently under consideration for determining which old gems should be considered essential repertoire. Selected repertoire should fit our specific ensemble in terms of age, ability, and balance between parts. Of course,the overall concert program for our school choirs should include a variety of styles, historical periods, languages, and nationalities. This does not mean that newly-composed music should be exempt from a list of “essential” choral repertoire, but for the moment, the focus is on old gems that should remain part of the standard choral repertoire. Many will say that these essential gems of choral repertoire withstand the test of time because they have some historical, literary, or compositional significance. The melody, harmony, and lyrics complement each other in order to enhance the expression of the lyrics and the voice or intent of the composer. Lyrics are expressive, inspiring, inspired, or historically significant. Well-crafted pieces generally have sensible voice leading, reasonable tonal progressions, and appropriate vocal ranges. The minimum criteria for these old gems to be considered “essential repertoire” should be that they are well-crafted, have educational value for our singers and/or audience, and have some historical significance. Why did our revered teachers (choral directors from high school and college) select these pieces to be part of our choral music education? Are these pieces truly “essential” and are they still relevant to our choral music curricula today? There are certain pieces in the choral repertoire which are considered by many experienced conductors to be gems, treasures, or chestnuts. And it comes at a fraction of the cost of many premium crossbows. At an MSRP of $649.99 you get plenty of premium features-including speeds up to 415 feet per second. Maybe the most-impressive aspect of the Constrictor LT is its retail price. Nicely Affordable PerformanceĪnd it gets even better. You also get a handy sling, aluminum cocking sled, and rail lube/string wax. It comes Ready To Hunt with a top-mount 5-arrow quiver, three 425-grain arrows, and a 1-5×24 illuminated scope. ![]() The Constrictor LT also answers the often-confusing question of accessories. Everyone seems to have a preference options are good. It allows you to position the quiver on the right- OR left-hand side of the crossbow, at an angle or parallel to the bow. We also like the ambidextrous top-mount 5-arrow quiver, that sits on a 360-degree pivot. With bigger, bulkier designs, you might just be out of luck. The type that seem to be in near-constant motion. And up in a treestand, it’ll help you get into position quickly on rutting bucks. So it’s great for tight quarters (such as even the most-compact ground blinds). It measures a mere 10 inches wide cocked, and just 14 inches wide uncocked. And that means more hunter-friendly maneuverability.Īnd the ultra-compact nature of this crossbow continues. Compact Design With Shorter Stockįor starters, the Constrictor LT features a shorter stock than Bear’s original Constrictor design. We’ve never seen as many hunter-friendly advantages in crossbows, and a great example is the new-for-2022 Bear X Constrictor LT crossbow that you see here. What segment of the hunting industry is seeing the most-exciting innovation? One of the most obvious is crossbows. ![]() In October 2015, it officially announced Dropbox Paper, its collaborative document editor. Both Mailbox and Carousel were shut down in December 2015, with key features from both apps implemented into the regular Dropbox service. In March 2013, the company acquired Mailbox, a popular email app, and in April 2014, the company introduced Dropbox Carousel, a photo and video gallery app. Dropbox offers computer apps for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux computers, and mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone smartphones and tablets. Dropbox Basic users are given two gigabytes of free storage space. Dropbox uses a freemium business model, where users are offered a free account with set storage size, with paid subscriptions available that offer more capacity and additional features. The contents of these folders are synchronized to Dropbox's servers and to other computers and devices where the user has installed Dropbox, keeping the same files up-to-date on all devices. Concept ĭropbox brings files together in one central place by creating a special folder on the user's computer. ĭropbox has experienced criticism and generated controversy for issues including security breaches and privacy concerns.

Or, if you prefer, you can keep it simple and understated. Geany is a modest little editor, but through plugins, you can add features such as a panel for a project view, filesystem tree, debugging, a terminal, and so on until it looks and acts like an IDE. At the very least, Geany almost certainly provides bracket matching and syntax highlighting-and it usually offers quite a lot more. There's plenty of support for 50 different programming and scripting languages, markup languages, and miscellaneous filetypes (such as. Geany is a powerful, stable, and lightweight editor with useful features to help you write good Bash, Python, Lua, XML, HTML, LaTeX, and more. The IDE is a pleasure to work with, though, whether you consider yourself a serious programmer or you're just in need of a good HTML and CSS editor. Some of these have full support with autocompletion and pop-up function definitions, while others only have simple conveniences such as syntax highlighting and auto-bracket matching. It supports dozens of programming languages, including Python, Rust, C and C++, Java, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, VB.NET, several markup and Markdown languages, and more. However, you can use Builder for much more than just GNOME applications. This means you don't have to consciously track GNOME as you maintain your application because Builder does it for you. Install Builder from when you start a project, it'll even prompt you to install the GNOME SDK if you're missing it. If you're building applications for Linux and want an easy avenue to compatibility, Builder is the easy choice. Atomĭeveloped as an IDE for the GNOME desktop, GNOME Builder is a code editor for Linux, specifically for building GNOME applications. If you build the application from source, you should verify that all telemetry is deactivated when you first launch it. ![]() The executable is called Code - OSS rather than VSCode, and the license restrictions that apply to VSCodium also apply to your build, but so do the workarounds. If you don't want to use VSCodium's build, you can compile VS Code from source yourself and end up with the same thing. You should also verify that all telemetry is deactivated. If you need them, there are documented workarounds for these issues, but if you rely on something very specific in VS Code, you should verify that it functions in VSCodium. This includes a C# debugger and some gallery extensions. VSCodium cautions that VS Code quietly includes some proprietary tools that cannot be shipped with an open source build. ![]() The VSCodium developers also go to great length to deactivate all hard-to-find telemetry options, delivering the cleanest build of VS Code's source you can find without building it yourself. The VSCodium project provides downloadable executables of Code - OSS, built from the VS Code codebase without Microsoft's product.json changes. The easiest alternative to VS Code is VS Code itself, built without Microsoft's proprietary additions. If you'd rather do without the usage tracking, here are some great (and open source) alternatives to VS Code. Whether or not you care about VS Code's telemetry is up to you. It's unlikely that Microsoft is literally tracking your every move, and there's lots of software out there these days that gathers usage data. Most notably, VS Code includes telemetry, which is tracking software. In practice, the differences between VS Code and Code - OSS are minimal. But when you clone and build the code yourself, none of these targets is configured, so you generate a "clean" version, which is called Code - OSS (OSS stands for open source software). The official Microsoft-branded release is customized with Microsoft-specific functionality, including a trademark, an extensions gallery, a proprietary C# debugger, and telemetry. VS Code is indeed built upon an open source codebase. The difference is in the build process.Ĭhris Dias, a Microsoft developer on the VS Code project, makes a comparison between VS Code and, for instance, the Chrome browser and its open source "upstream" project, Chromium.

Every new analog needs to be tested in order to determine its new pharmacological properties (pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics). Molecular modifications that increase lipophilicityĪs in the case of molecular shape, the introduction of additional functional groups and substituents (chemical modifications) may alter the biological effect of the drug. Molecular modifications that increase hydrophilicity The various molecules we have considered are summarized in Table 12.4 on. However, there are certain tendencies that are summarized in table 1. OBJECTIVE: To learn to predict molecular geometry from the number of electron pairs. We must consider that polarity (and therefore solubility in polar and non-polar media) is a synergistic effect, and it is the combined effect of functional groups and molecular geometry that will determine the polarity of a drug candidate. Increased lipophilicity of a dopamine analog by methylation of phenol groups. Most of the time, the drug must be hydrophilic enough to be able transported in the blood, but also lipophilic enough to travel through a membrane.įigure 2. The F atoms form an octahedron about the central S atom: four of the F atoms form a square with the S atom at the center, and the other two F atoms are above and below the S atom.
