![]() ![]() The news comes as controversy over the use of AI music continues to mount, with high-profile fakes of Drake, the Weeknd and Kanye West receiving hundreds of thousands of streams before being scrubbed from streaming services.Ī UK band even used AI to imagine what Oasis might sound like if they were to reform and release a new album in 2023. “So I’m going to nick in with Jeff and do it. ![]() ![]() “And there was another one that we started working on, but George went off it … that one’s still lingering around,” he told a BBC Four documentary on Jeff Lynne in 2012. Over the years, there have been reports that McCartney would release a complete version of the song, and the musician has often spoken of his desire to do so. In 2009, a new version of the demo without the background noise was released on a bootleg CD – leading to fan speculation that it was a different recording altogether, and was stolen from Lennon’s apartment after his death. The Beatles being a democracy, we didn’t do it.”Īn additional factor behind the scrapping of the song was a technical defect in the original recording, which featured a persistent buzz from the electricity circuits in Lennon’s apartment. “It didn’t have a very good title, it needed a bit of reworking, but it had a beautiful verse and it had John singing it,” he told Q Magazine. McCartney later revealed the song was shelved because George Harrison had called it “fucking rubbish” and refused to work on it. We did the backing track, a rough go that we really didn’t finish,” Lynne recalled. “The song had a chorus but is almost totally lacking in verses. Producer Jeff Lynne, who cleaned up the reunion songs, said the band were “messing with it” during the course of one afternoon. The three surviving band members released two of the songs from Lennon’s cassettes – Free As A Bird and Real Love – marking the band’s first “new” material in 25 years.īut though they also attempted to record Now and Then, the session was quickly abandoned. ![]() Now and Then was previously considered a possible reunion song for the Beatles in 1995, when they were compiling their career-spanning Anthology series. Then we can mix the record, as you would normally do. “So when we came to make what will be the last Beatles record, it was a demo that John had and we were able to take John’s voice and get it pure through this AI. They tell the machine: ‘That’s the voice. “We had John’s voice and a piano and he could separate them with AI. “ was able to extricate John’s voice from a ropey little bit of cassette,” McCartney said. It was this process that allowed McCartney to “duet” with Lennon on his recent tour, including at last year’s Glastonbury festival, and for new surround-sound mixes of the Beatles’ Revolver album last year. For the documentary, dialogue editor Emile de la Rey used custom-made AI to recognise the Beatles’ voices and separate them from background noise. The idea to use AI to reconstruct the demo came from Peter Jackson’s eight-hour epic, Get Back. The lyrics, which begin “I know it’s true, it’s all because of you / And if I make it through, it’s all because of you”, are typical of the apologetic love songs Lennon wrote in the latter part of his career. It was largely recorded on to a boombox as Lennon sat at a piano in his New York apartment. The demo was one of several songs on cassettes labelled “For Paul” that Lennon made shortly before his death in 1980, which were later given to McCartney by Lennon’s widow, Yoko Ono. Though McCartney did not name the song, it is likely to be a 1978 Lennon composition called Now and Then. “We just finished it up and it’ll be released this year,” he told the Radio 4 Today programme on Tuesday. ![]()

The ensemble size is then updated by selecting the subsets that improve the performance of the ensemble prediction using decision relevant metrics. In the prescreening step, the independent ensemble members are categorized based on their ability to reproduce physically-interpretable features of interest that are regional and problem-specific.

PTE preparation material 3- Cause and effect idea Read the passage below and summarize it using one sentence (5-75 words). Answerĭespite the misconception that was initially put forth by Charles Darwin that highlighted the importance of singing in male birds for courtship purposes, a team of researchers from University of Antwerp discovered that most of the females in family trees for songbirds actually sang songs possibly to attract mates or defend their territories. They suggest these ancient females may have been using their songs to deter other females from their territories, to coordinate breeding activities with males, or possibly to attract mates. After carefully tracing back an evolutionary family tree for their songbirds, Garamszegi’s team discovered that, in at least two bird families, singing evolved in females first. “He emphasized the importance of male sexual display, and this is what everyone has been looking at.” The findings go beyond modern species. Garamszegi blames Charles Darwin for the oversight. Females that sing have been overlooked, the team say, because either their songs are quiet, they are mistaken for males from their similar plumage or they live in less well-studied areas such as the tropics (Behavioral Ecology, DOI: 10.1093/arlo47). In only eight species could the team conclude that females did not sing. Of the 109 for which information on females was available, they found evidence for singing in 101 species. Laszlo Garamszegi of the University of Antwerp, Belgium, and colleagues studied the literature on 233 European songbird species. This has been the established, even cherished view of courtship in birds, but now some ornithologists are changing tune. Males do the singing and females do the listening. ![]() Online PTE materials 2- The opposite central idea Read the passage below and summarize it using one sentence (5-75 words). AnswerĬocoa was used by the Aztec people in different ways such as a drink, a form of money for tax collection, a sun protective lotion, a religious commodity and a symbol of bringing wisdom upon the receiver. Aztecs believed that drinking chocolate gave mortals some of Quetzalcoatl’s (God of earning and of the wind) wisdom. During marriage ceremonies, the couple drank a symbolic cup of chocolate and exchanged cocoa beans. ![]() Cocoa beans were given to priest’s assistants at children’s coming of age ceremonies. Human sacrifices to propitiate God or sun were first sanctified by giving him chocolate. Cocoa was believed to be of divine origin: the cocoa tree was a bridge between earth and heaven. For the Aztecs cocoa had a religious significance. The oily layer floating in the chocolate drink (cocoa butter was used to protect the skin against the sun. Cocoa beans were also used as a currency and as a tribute (tax) from peoples ruled by Aztecs. Vanilla and/or chili were also used as an ingredient in the drinks. Both the Maya and the Aztec secular drinks used roasted cocoa beans, a foaming agent (sugar), toasted corn and water. The beans themselves were used to make hot or cold chocolate drinks. Wines and drinks were made from white pulp around the seeds of the cocoa pod. Your response will be judged on the quality of your writing and on how well your response presents the key points in the passage.ĭuring the time of the Aztecs, cocoa was mainly used as a beverage. ![]() 1- The same central idea Read the passage below and summarize it using one sentence (5-75 words).

Right now its 3 lists of 3 axes, which will be hard to loop over. We will look into both the ways one by one. One is by using subplot () function and other by superimposition of second graph on the first i.e, all graphs will appear on the same plot. fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, 2, sharex=True, sharey=True, figsize=(12, 12),) In Matplotlib, we can draw multiple graphs in a single plot in two ways. Let’s say we want to plot high, low, open and close prices together using subplots. load and plot the prepared dataset from numpy import load from matplotlib import. When stacking subplots in two directions, the returned axes is a 2D numpy array. import matplotlib as mpl import matplotlib.pyplot as plt. The arguments are the number of rows and number of columns, along with optional keywords sharex and sharey, which allow you to specify the relationships between different axes. fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(1, 2, figsize=(12,8)) Rather than creating a single subplot, this function creates a full grid of subplots in a single line, returning them in a NumPy array. To create side-by-side subplots, we have to pass parameters (1, 2) for one row and two columns. ![]() Now, let’s say that instead of plotting subplots on top of each others you want to create them side by side. If the three integers are nrows, ncols, and index in order, the subplot will take the index position on a grid with nrows rows and ncols columns. And if you look closely you can see that instead of using plt.xlabel() and plt.ylabel(), here we are using ax.set_xlabel() and ax.set_ylabel().Īnd if you are creating fewer axes then you can also unpack the axes like this fig, (ax1, ax2) = plt.subplots(2, figsize=(10, 8)) fig, ax = plt.subplots(2, figsize=(10, 8))įirst we created a figure and axes and then we created each of the subplots. Let’s create the same plots using object oriented interface. If you want to create more complicated plots then you should choose the object oriented interface. Next, we created the second subplot and used plt.show() to show the figure. And plt.subplot(2, 1, 1) means create subplots in a figure which has 2 rows and 1 column and this subplot is the 1st one out of the two. To do that you have to use subplots in matplotlib. Now suppose, you want to create two line charts on top of each other. import pandas as pdĭf = pd.read_csv(url, parse_dates=) ![]() So many syntax and function available in pyplot resembles that. Initially it was created as a python alternative for the Matlab users. And for creating subplots, we can either use the Matlab style interface or object oriented interface. When we stack subplots in one direction, the returned axes is a 1D numpy array containing the list of created axes. ![]() For example, if we need to plot two graphs side by side. In this post, we will look at them one by one and try understand what they are doing and how to use them more efficiently. It takes in a vector of form c(m, n) which divides the given plot into mn array of subplots.

It is a balance. The other considerations were ease of use and as it is a physical barrier sunscreen, the consistency. I also appreciated the Vanicream sunscreen was truly fragrance free. The broad spectrum sunscreen for me allowed exposure to midday sun without burning and I burn very quickly. The positives outweighed the negatives with the first priority being effectiveness. The FDA has a thorough Do, Don’t and best practice sheet for sunscreen and sun exposure found here along with a refresher of the current FDA rules and rule changes regarding ingredients. Those with fair and light colored skin (raising my sunscreen!) can attest sun burns can happen very quickly particularly when the sun is at full strength in the middle of the day. Please remember the SPF number is calculated to protect against the strength of the sun’s rays versus the time exposed to sun rays. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) gives Vanicream a high rating = green. Physical barrier sunscreens literally sit on top of the skin and reflect the sun rays.
