inner tuning: Group of techniques whose design is synchronization of: (a) the cerebral hemispheres and (b) solar and lunar rhythms. Its apparent principle is that human vocal sounds can release blocked energy. Its theory posits chakras.

Fine-Tuning comes with caveats. The fact that a universe with different physical constants might be inhospitable to life as we know it does not necessarily mean that it is inhospitable to any form of life. Currently, there is no way of experimentally determining if a universe allows for life or not. Further, most of this universe, especially the interstellar vacuum, appears to be devoid of life; other physical constants may ...

The plot concerns the interactions between Major Jock Sinclair (played by Alec Guinness), the popular acting commanding officer, and his replacement Lieutenant Colonel Basil Barrow (John Mills). The two men are opposites, Sinclair being a self-made, rowdy, hard-drinking man who runs the barracks his own way, having worked his way up from a common piper. Barrow is an artistcratic, by-the-book, reserved officer from a long line of barracks COs. However, as a prisoner of war he had endured torture that left him a privately deeply troubled man. ...

That life as we know it would not be possible if the physical constants of the universe were even slightly different from what they are and may appear to be "fine-tuned" is an uncontroversial position within the mainstream scientific community. But conclusions drawn from that observation or appeals to the improbability of life that some intelligence intentionally "fine-tuned" the universe for life are not widely accepted. There is controversy over whether such conclusions can even be considered within natural scien ...

Tuning Forks

Tuning forks are metal instruments with a handle and two prongs or tines. Tuning forks, made of steel, aluminum, or magnesium-alloy will vibrate at a set frequency to produce a musical tone, a single pure note, when struck.

Tuning forks bring a beneficial resonance to the body that can help to establish a new pattern of balance, erasing the detrimental patterns caused by the negative resonance pattern of ill health. They can assist the body in returning to the resonance of harmony.

Name That Tune - 50s Version. The contestants stand across the stage from a large ship bell and the band starts playing tunes. When a contestant knows the tune s/he runs across the stage to "ring the bell and name that tune!" Four tunes were played every game. Each tune was worth incresing dollar amounts: Tune #1 - $5 Tune #2 - $10 Tune #3 - $20 Tune #4 - $40 The player with the most money after four tunes wins the game & goes on to the bonus game called "The Golden Medley". ...

In tuning, the relationship between two notes (known musically as an interval) is determined by evaluating their common harmonics. For example, we say two notes are an octave apart when the fundamental frequency of the upper note exactly matches the second harmonic of the lower note. Theoretically, this means the fundamental frequency of the upper note is exactly twice that of the lower note, and we would assume that the second harmonic of the upper note will exactly match the fourth harmonic of the lower note. On instruments strung with metal wire, however, neither ...

In most musical instruments, the tone-generating component (a string or resonant column of air) vibrates at multiple frequencies simultaneously: a fundamental frequency that is usually perceived as the pitch of the note, and harmonics or overtones that are multiples of the fundamental frequency and whose wavelengths therefore divide the tone-generating region into simple fractional segments (1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc.). (See harmonic series.) The fundamental note and its harmonics sound together, and the amplitude relationships among them ...

WB has also had controversy over Turner Entertainment’s "dubbed version" prints, used on many pre-1948 cartoons beginning in 1995. These versions were actually new ones derived (hence the "dubbed" moniker) from earlier-generation prints of whatever versions of shorts were available, even if they were the altered "blue ribbon" prints. These "dubbed versions" had their many alterations. They have a generic end card (with either orange or red rings), with a disclaiming copyright to Turner (see screenshot), thus replacing the original colored ...

The standard tuning of the viol is in 4ths, with a 3rd in the middle (like the standard Renaissance lute tuning). For treble and bass viols the notes would be (from the highest) d',a,e,c,G,D. For the tenor viol the tuning is g,d,A,F,C,G'. The treble viol is one octave higher than the bass. Alternate tunings (called scordatura) were often employed, particularly in the solo lyra viol style of playing, which also made use of many techniques such as chords and pizzicato, which were not generally used in consort playing. An u ...

Violas are tuned by turning the pegs near the scroll, around which the strings are wrapped. Tightening the string will raise the note (make it sharper) while loosening the string will lower the note (making it flatter). The A string is tuned first, typically to 440 Hz (see Pitch (music)). The other strings (D,G,C) are then tuned to it in intervals of perfect fifths, bowing two strings simulaneously. Some violas also have adjusters (also called fine tuners) that are used to make finer changes. These permit the tension of ...

When a stretched wire string is excited into motion by plucking or striking, a complex wave travels outward to the ends of the string. As it travels outward, this initial impulse forces the wire out of its resting position all along its length. After the impulse has passed, each part of the wire immediately begins to return toward (and overshoot) its resting position, which means vibration has been induced. Meanwhile, the initial impulse is reflected at both ends of the string and travels back toward the center. On the way, it interacts with ...

The xalam, in its standard form, is a simple lute with one to five strings. The wooden body (soundbox) of the instrument is oval-shaped and covered with the hide of cattle. The strings of the xalam are typically made of two or three tighly wound strands of low-gauge nylon fishing line; these strings are fixed to the instrument's wooden neck by long and narrow leather strips and to its wooden bridge by cotton strings. By moving these strips, the instrument's tune can be adjusted. The xalam usually has two main melody strings that are fingered ...

Beginning in the 1940s, WB, in a cost-conserving effort, began to reissue its backlog of cartoons under a new program which they called Merrie Melodies "Blue Ribbon" reissues. Unfortunately, they altered the original front-and-end title sequences. The revised main title card began with the "zooming" WB logo, followed by the title logo set against a background featuring a "blue ribbon" (hence the re-release program's title) and a trophy, followed by the name of the cartoon. This revised title sequence eliminated the opening technical c ...

TCP tuning - Bandwidth-delay product BDP. Bandwidth × delay product (BDP) is a term primarily used in conjunction with the TCP to refer to the number of bytes necessary to fill a TCP "path", i.e. it is equal to the maximum number of simultaneous packets in transit between the transmitter and the receiver. TCP has a concept of windows which are used for congestion control and for determining the optimum size of packet that is resilient to packet loss, packet trunca ...

The tuning and construction of a gamelan orchestra is a complex process. Gamelans use four tuning systems: sléndro, pélog, degung (exclusive to Sunda, or West Java), and madenda (also known as diatonis, similar to a European "natural" minor scale). In central Javanese gamelan, sléndro is a system with five notes to the diapason (octave), fairly evenly spaced, while pélog has seven notes to the octave, with uneven intervals, usually played in five note subsets of the seven-tone collection. Many or ...

To string a qin, one traditionally had to tie a butterfly knot (shengtou jie 『蠅頭結』) at one end of the string, and slip the string through the twisted cord (rongkou 『絨剅』) which goes into holes at the head of the qin and then out the bottom through the tuning pegs (zhen 『軫』). The string is dragged over the bridge (yueshan 『岳山』), across the surface board, over the nut (longyin 『龍齦』 dragon gums) to the back of the qin, where the end is wrapped around two legs (fengzuSee also:
