The first and most obvious thing that’s changed is the user interface. What’s changed in this version of CCleaner? The types of files it can delete include application caches, log files, duplicate, and startup items.

![]() ![]() If your baby’s blood spot screening result for maple syrup urine disease is out-of-range, your baby’s health care provider will contact you. In severe cases, this condition can lead to coma or death if not diagnosed and treated early. Without treatment, toxic levels of branched-chain amino acids and their related substances can lead to the signs and symptoms of the condition. The substances the body cannot remove cause this sweet smell. All forms of this condition can result in sweet-smelling earwax and urine, which is how the condition got its name. The form your baby has depends on how well these enzymes work in their body. There are different types of maple syrup urine disease: classic, intermediate, intermittent, thiamine-response, and unclassified. Leucine, isoleucine, valine, and other related substances then build up in their body and can be toxic. As a result, babies with maple syrup urine disease have trouble breaking down branched-chain amino acids. Either the body does not make enough enzyme or does not produce the enzyme correctly. These enzymes do not work properly in babies with maple syrup urine disease. The branched-chain amino acids are called leucine, isoleucine, and valine. ![]() Your body then uses those amino acids to make other proteins that it needs to function.Ĭertain enzymes break down a specific type of amino acid called branched-chain amino acids.

Give Cars 2 points for audacity: The follow-up shifts away from the original’s small-town, homespun charm to become a sleek, globetrotting action-thriller focusing on Lightning McQueen’s country-bumpkin sidekick. But that didn’t mean we wanted to see Tow Mater in a James Bond spoof. Larry the Cable Guy was Cars’ secret weapon, lending his blue-collar earthiness to a character whose regular-folks demeanor had real pathos and sweetness. We’re not mad at Lightyear, we’re just disappointed. After a few years of taking chances, Lightyear feels like the safe, obvious, slightly lazy play from a studio that used to pride itself on not thinking that way. (Sox is voiced by Peter Sohn, who has worked at Pixar since the early 2000s, starting out as a story artist and doing voices on several of its films, not to mention directing The Good Dinosaur.) But this may be the first time that Pixar hasn’t fully justified one of its projects, at least creatively. Not surprisingly, Lightyear looks terrific, and it’s got some really funny moments - most of them provided by Sox, Buzz’s faithful robot cat. This origin story follows the adventures of Buzz (now voiced by Chris Evans) as he works with a ragtag bunch of recruits to defeat alien invaders on a distant planet. This is not, inherently, a terrible idea: What if Pixar actually made the movie that first got kids in the ’90s psyched about Buzz Lightyear toys? What would that movie look like? What kind of character would Buzz be? Unfortunately, Lightyear is a letdown, not only because it doesn’t satisfyingly answer those questions, but because it’s not an especially great ’90s action movie in its own right - or, conversely, a sharp parody of one. ![]() It’s not so much bad as it is deeply dispiriting. And from Randy Newman’s by-the-numbers score to every single one of Mater’s tired quips, Cars 3 plays out like a rival studio’s lukewarm attempt to mimic Pixar’s magic. There isn’t one interesting new character, despite the effort from Hammer, Kerry Washington, Nathan Fillion, and Chris Cooper as Lightning’s cranky new trainer. But where at least Cars 2 consciously tried to go in a radically different direction, Cars 3 feels like a tame holding pattern, providing the race sequences and heartwarming homilies that were rampant in the first film - except without the same level of inspiration. Yes, the dopey Tow Mater is, blessedly, back on the periphery where he belongs while Lightning (Owen Wilson) squares off with two new foes: a sleek race car named Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer) and, more imposingly, the growing realization that he’s not the king of the track anymore. Not exactly a high bar … and we’re not even convinced this film gets over it. The worst you can say is that, at this point, Pixar is fighting a losing battle trying to live up to its own glorious past.Įarly reviews of Cars 3 praised the latest installment in the Lightning McQueen saga for, essentially, not being Cars 2, the only Pixar film to receive a “rotten” rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Some of these movies work better than others, but all of them are trying to do something special - even if, in recent years, it seems like the studio’s magic has started to wane. We tried to keep context in mind - Toy Story had an ability to blow your mind in 1995 the way nothing could today - and also ambition: In the world of children’s entertainment, nothing has set Pixar apart more than its burning desire not to coast or mail it in. None of these movies is bad, but when you’ve made 27 films, one of them has to be No. Trying to rank all 27 Pixar feature films in order of quality is like trying to rank your children by how much you love them. ![]() This previously published story has been updated to include Elemental.

While I’m not a conspiracy theorist myself when it comes to referees and sports, after Tuesday, it’ll be a lot more difficult to dissuade hockey fans who are.Peel could be heard saying: "It wasn't much, but I wanted to get a f-in' penalty against Nashville early in the." before the audio cut out. The NHL did take care of it, but only by doing the bare minimum and offering no explanation as to what actually happened. Rather than me comment, I think it’s an issue that I think the league will have to take care of.” “… It probably doesn’t matter how I feel about it in general, but the referees are employees of the league. “The big thing is this: You always want to have things that are going to be fair and for your team,” said Predators coach John Hynes when asked about the comments after the game. The NHL can't have the integrity of its games being questioned like that. Based on Peel's comments, people had to wonder if that was on the level. Later Tuesday, the Predators had a goal disallowed on a Red Wings challenge. ![]() True or not, anyone – coaches, players, fans – who has ever thought the fix was in during hockey games now has reason to suspect there really is some agenda behind how NHL games are called. Why? The fact we still don’t know that invites wild speculation, none of it pleasant for a major pro sports league. Why would Peel have wanted to penalize the Predators? Was it was just a make-up call? Maybe it was more sinister in terms of dictating the direction – or even the outcome – of a game. He brought up the "context" and "intention" of Peel's words without detailing what those were. Worst of all, it sounded routine, like it was nothing out of the ordinary in hockey.Īs such, Campbell's virtuously vague statement on behalf of the NHL was insufficent and actually raised questions. Tempting as it might be to shrug off Peel's captured thoughts as no more than an embarrassingly human flub, too many hockey fans are going to remember his ridiculing tone, how he boasted about his desire to disadvantage the Preds for what he even admitted wasn't much of a penalty. It was a necessary first step, but we can't let the league off the hook so easily. All this did was move his retirement up about a month.ĭistancing itself from Peel publicly as a lone bad actor was an effortless move for the NHL. Peel was essentially fired, yes, but he was already set to retire this season anyway. Good on the NHL for moving quickly to try to defuse an explosive controversy – this took less than 12 hours to play out – but let's not make the punishment out to be more than it was. MATT DUCHENE: Referee Tim Peel 'told our bench' the same thing There is no justification for his comments, no matter the context or his intention." “Tim Peel’s conduct is in direct contradiction to the adherence to that cornerstone principle that we demand of our officials and that our fans, players, coaches and all those associated with our game expect and deserve. “Nothing is more important than ensuring the integrity of our game,” NHL vice president of hockey operations Colin Campbell said in a statement Wednesday morning. On Wednesday morning, the NHL confirmed the speaker as referee Tim Peel and said that Peel "no longer will be working NHL games now or in the future" as a result of those comments made during the Preds game.

Released on June 10, 1970, with a B-side titled “He Who Picks a Rose,” the single entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #72 on July 11 and reached #1 on Aug. Starr’s decision to pick up the tune paid off big-time. Throughout, Starr bolsters the lyric with chanted exhortations, among them, “Say it, say it, say it, good God, y’all,” always returning to the main theme of war being good for “absolutely nothing.” (War), Friend only to the undertaker, awwww In each new verse, the singer spells out the reasons to back up his claim, such as this one: ![]() The recording begins with a military-style drum roll that leads to Starr’s horn-punctuated chant of the “What is it good for?” chorus. Listen to the Temptations’ version of “War” Instead, the label decided, another artist on the group’s roster would re-cut the song. The album track had generated a fair amount of interest, especially among college students involved in the protest movement, but Motown was reluctant to associate the Temptations with a politically infused lyric. Written by Norman Whitfield and Barrett Strong (the latter of “Money” fame), “War” had already been recorded and released by the Temptations on their Psychedelic Shack album of 1970. There wasn’t much interest in a new version of that one, but with “War” in 1970, Starr hit gold.

![]() ![]() Your first point of contact will be the record label that owns the master recording copyrights. To do that, you'll usually have to obtain permission from two parties. If you want to stay on the right side of the copyright law and never worry about fines or your music being deleted, you must clear your samples. There is a legal way to sample music, but it involves a bit of work. More often than not, however, you'll also have to pay a fine, which can be as high as six figures. At best, you'll get a slap on the wrist, and the song will be deleted from all the platforms it was available on. So let's assume that one of your released songs containing uncleared samples blows up and gets all the attention it deserves. Otherwise, you wouldn't bother releasing it. ![]() Sampling music without prior clearance isn't legal and can have severe ramifications.Īs an artist or producer, you want your music to be heard by other people. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. Seeing how popular sampling is and how the legal side of it is brushed over, it's easy to start thinking that sampling music without permission will have no consequences. The number of these songs added to streaming platforms daily is so large that record labels and publishers can't check them all for copyright infringement. These developments have led to a massive increase in songs that include uncleared samples upon their release. Furthermore, getting your tracks on Spotify or Apple Music became pretty straightforward thanks to the different distributors offering their services. Modern DAWs like FL Studio and Ableton Live make it easy to edit audio, and websites like YouTube are full of songs seemingly waiting to be sampled. It's fair to say that sampling is a big part of our culture and a widely accepted production technique to get the creative juices flowing. On top of that, even superstar artists who have unlimited access to talented bands and composers continue to use samples in their songs, thus legitimizing the whole process. As long as you have a DAW and a good ear for sounds, you can use samples to make music and still produce something unique. It's relatively easy to get into because you don't need to be skilled at playing any instruments or know music theory. Finding the right blend of melodic and percussive elements and stitching multiple samples together to create something fresh is a whole new challenge on its own.Īt the same time, it's not a surprise that sampling is flourishing. It's undoubtedly harder to come up with an original melody than to sample it from a record, but that doesn't mean that the producers aren't adding any value. To the uninitiated, the whole process of sampling might seem like the artists are taking a creative short cut. ![]() This tradition goes way back to when DJs isolated drum breaks from other songs and looped them for the MCs to rap over. Rap music comes instantly to mind because so many hip-hop producers rely on samples for their beats. ![]() The use of samples is widespread in today's musical landscape, but some genres are particularly notorious for it. In a nutshell, as long as something can be recorded or exists as an audio file, it can be sampled. For example, XXXTENTACION sampled the seatbelt chime from his BMW i8 for his hit song "SAD!" which is currently close to one billion views on YouTube. Although sampling melodies is a common practice, you could also sample drum breaks, movie quotes, and even miscellaneous sounds from your environment like a squeaky door or a car chime. Music samples don't have to be musical if you intend to use them in your tracks. You can create samples by cutting out short pieces of audio from songs, movies, TV commercials, videos, speeches, and more. A sample in music is a snippet of a sound recording. ![]() ![]() ![]()
