![]() The two forks vibrated at slightly different frequencies, producing different sounds in each ear.ĭove documented that the subject perceived the combination of the two frequencies as a slow beat, which is now known as the binaural beats phenomenon. He then placed another tuning fork on the other side of the room connected to the other ear. He had his subject stand in a room and placed a tuning fork on one side connected to a tube leading to the subject's ear. The discovery of how binaural beats work was made in 1839 by Heinrich Wilhelm Dove, a Prussian physicist and meteorologist.ĭove was an enthusiastic experimenter and his experiments paved the way for exploration in brainwave entrainment.Īt the time, headphones were not available, so Dove conducted an experiment to make his discovery. The Discovery of Binaural Beats Heinrich Willhelm Dove ![]() In much the same way, binaural beats provide numerous benefits, including deeper meditation, stress relief, reduced anxiety, improved focus, better sleep, and more. Tibetan monks, Native American shamans, Hindu healers, and master yogis, for example, have utilized repetitive drumming and chanting to induce specific states of being for meditation, transcendence of consciousness, and healing. Indeed, repetitive beat formats have played a crucial role in the well-being and prosperity of nearly every ancient culture. This research supports the theories that suggest that the use of the drum by indigenous cultures in ritual and ceremony has specific neurophysiological effects and the ability to elicit temporary changes in brain wave activity, and thereby facilitates imagery and possible entry into an ASC (altered state of consciousness) ( 2). The pattern of the drumbeat as it relates to beats per second can be correlated with resulting temporary changes in brain wave frequency (cycles per second) and/or subjective experience, provided the drumming pattern is sustained for at least 13 – 15 minutes. This consistent rhythm induced a trance-like state in the tribe, as the brain followed along with the 4.5 beats-per-second brainwave frequency, which corresponds to a low Theta brainwave state, as you'll learn about later. Interestingly, scientist Melinda Maxfield, PhD, conducted research on the drumbeats used in ancient cultural rituals and found that they generally had a steady beat of 4.5 beats per second. But what they did know was that sound had powerful healing properties. ![]() Of course, in times past, societies didn't refer to music therapy, binaural beats, or brainwave entrainment of any kind. For example, the Chinese character for medicine includes the character for music ( 1). Even in language we see a connection between healing and music.The Native Americans and Africans used singing and chanting as part of their healing rituals. ![]()

Harris's transition also marks another shift in the senior ranks of the bank's wealth management business - a unit crucial to Morgan Stanley. ![]() "Investing in diverse-led companies in their infancy is vital to ensuring success," Harris said in Morgan Stanley's 2021 report on diversity and inclusion. Harris recently interviewed Shelley Stewart III, a McKinsey partner who leads the consultant's research on Black economic mobility, for instance, and Eddie Slaughter, a Georgia-based farmer who spent years fighting the government to keep control of property his family controlled for generations. On her podcast, "Access & Opportunity," she interviews guests about themes such as race and money. In her role as vice chair for one of the largest wealth managers in the world, Harris has also been one of the most senior Black women in financial services. Harris has been an influential figure at Morgan Stanley and a widely followed speaker on issues of race and diversity and inclusion on Wall Street. Carla Harris has developed a noteworthy voice on important issues like diversity Scott most recently served as global head of talent management and spent six years leading human resources for investment banking and global capital markets. "Selma will build on Carla's groundbreaking work to further connect multicultural communities with Morgan Stanley's network," the memo added, noting that Bueno has spent two decades in investment banking and joined Morgan Stanley as a vice president in Brazil in 2010.Īs Bueno departs her role in the IB division, she will be succeeded as global chief administrative officer for the investment bank by Leslie Scott. ![]() The group "creates a more inclusive investment landscape for women and founders of color," O'Connor said in the memo, which was reviewed by Insider. O'Connor also announced in a separate memo to US staff on Tuesday that Selma Bueno, global chief administrative officer of the investment-banking division, will take Harris' role as head of the multicultural client strategy group beginning on January 1. It was not immediately clear who would succeed Harris as vice chair of wealth management. She originally joined Morgan Stanley in 1987 and has held a variety of functions at the Wall Street behemoth, from investment banking and equity capital markets to investment management. Harris will stick with the bank to serve in other functions as well, including producing her podcast series "Access & Opportunity," which is now in its eighth season, the memo noted. She will also be "available to speak to clients in Wealth Management, Investment Management and Institutional Securities," Gorman and O'Connor added in the memo. Harris will continue to serve as co-portfolio manager for the firm's Next Level Fund, an early-stage growth-investment fund focused on companies in part started by women or founders from diverse backgrounds. Harris, who has also been the head of Morgan Stanley's multicultural client strategy group since that time, will serve as a senior client advisor and "focus more of her time on her philanthropic, civic, and other outside pursuits," CEO James Gorman and Shelley O'Connor, the firm's vice chairman and head of external affairs, told employees in an internal email sent Tuesday and reviewed by Insider. Harris will pursue other focuses like philanthropic pursuits, but stay with the firm part-time.Ĭarla Harris, a three-decade veteran of Morgan Stanley, is set to step down as vice chairman of the firm's wealth-management arm at the end of the year in favor of taking on a part-time role with the firm.She is set to step down at the end of 2021, the bank announced in an internal memo on Tuesday.Carla Harris is a three-decade vet of Morgan Stanley and serves as vice chair of wealth management.Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.

I go on laptop and use another speed test that is much closer to reality. I have tried using this app many times and never get an accurate reading. Please update and let us know how it goes. We just updated the app to version 4.0.7, which should fix this problem. If/when that happens, I’ll gladly bump my rating up to five stars and send due praise in an updated review. ![]() With a simple filter option, though, that issue vanishes. Call it nitpicking, but it voids the usefulness of the “Notes” feature as an analytical tool. Scrolling through dozens and dozens of test results to find those with tagged with note icons so that they can be analyzed and cross-referenced while tracking long term connectivity performance is far too cumbersome and time-consuming. On top of that, the app continues to run as reliably and smoothly as ever.Īll that being said, however, I’ve found the “Notes” option for results less and less useful because of the inability to filter test results so that those with notes can be viewed separately. Just a great idea that provides very, very useful information in terms of gauging in-the-moment download/upload bandwidth capacity. The latest update introducing separate “multi” and “single” connections testing was a dandy. ![]() Sorry again, and thanks for using Speedtest! Sorry for the trouble! This issue should now be fixed in the most recent update, 5.0.2. Maybe I should’ve created a new account? Your account creation process has been confusing and buggy so maybe it’s just a glitch? Hopefully the next app update might fix this issue, I can’t be the only one having this issue, there should also be an option to sync your speed tests with iCloud like Shazam and allow us to import our CSV files that we exported prior to our tests disappearing. I really need your help to re-add all my speed tests back to the app, it would mean a lot if you could reply to this, I loved Speedtest so much but now I feel like it’s a little pointless if all of my speed tests are now gone. Once updating the app, and signing in, all of my Speedtest were gone, over two years worth of speedtests taken on Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T and Wi-Fi, but for some reason all my video tests are still there.

I can’t imagine building a movement engine where the physics can in part be manipulated by their perspective on the screen is the easiest thing to get right (and of course, being a programmer, experimenting with the engine was half the fun, and I will say that things only got a bit uncertain when taken to extremes – thankfully they include a “reset” to the last checkpoint). However, in the context of gameplay, all of this is OK. As such, its quite easy to bump into the corners of things, which is no big deal really, but did raise a few eyebrows as to my overall playing ability when I was streaming this! You can just about jump, and there is some attempt at a ledge grabbing mechanic, but it really feels random. It’s a bit like your player is made out of jelly (or Jell-O to my Yankee brethren), almost like the inertia of the movement is not quite right. Movement around the world is traditional FPS fayre, but it does feel clumsy. ![]() On the whole, the presentation is a polished experience and the world you inhabit is consistent with itself. The voice acting is very good and it does have some humour too. This review is spoiler free, so I wont divulge the plot other than to say it’s pretty familiar territory if you’ve played Portal or The Stanley Parable. And this mechanic is implemented pretty slickly too – believe it or not, it always felt intuitive what was going to be the consequences of my actions, so props to the designer in that regard! The phone in my visual field will remain the same size, but if it were placed far away, its huge relative to its environment, whereas if its placed even closer than my arms length, it shrinks. If I hold my phone at arms length, and place it in the world, it is scaled depending upon how far away I “drop” it. And it’s quite a neat device too! It doesn’t take long to wrap your head around. ![]() You are in a first person world where objects can be manipulated via perspective, and in doing so can be scaled, positioned and oriented in a manner to permit access to subsequent areas and puzzles. It would be easy for me to simply write reasons why it’s not that good, but as a developer of software, and a supporter of small games developers, I think it’s important to consider the context at the same time, which means that on the whole, Superliminal is not a bad “experience”, it’s purely a lackluster one, and it suffers from many of the problems most indie games seem to have. Ok ok ok, let’s actually review this game from several perspectives (it would want me too after all). And wow! According to the interwebz it’s awesome! Have I finally found a game that will be as inspired, thought provoking and puzzling as The Witness? I don’t think that the early game is quite as dangerous as it is in BG1. Was the progression system for Pillars of Eternity intended to replicate that feeling of early danger and well deserved late game strength? ![]() The one thing that Baldur’s Gate 1 did better than any other games before or since was to give you a feeling of being a freebooter just trying to make your way in a strange, dangerous world. I won’t reveal much about it since it’s early in development, but we’ve already have a small team working on areas and environments while the rest of the team focus on shipping the game. We are looking at doing an expansion that’s about the same size (area wise) of Tales of the Sword Coast. What is will the expansion business model look like? It’s how we initially presented the idea of the game to the public, so we’ve been careful to try to capture as much of the good stuff as we can from those games. The Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale games as well as Planescape: Torment all served as inspirational models for how we built Pillars of Eternity. Much has been made of the fact that PoE is a chance for Obsidian to truly get out there and flex their creative muscle, to stretch their wings and fly… how do you think that has affected the finished product? ![]() Related: Mario Kart 7 vs Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed With six playable races– including the genre staples Dwarf, Human, and Elf– as well as eleven different classes, Pillars Of Eternity aims to retain the characteristics of tabletop games while making use of the processing power of modern PCs. Obsidian appealed to the fans and bypassed publishers completely. The developers thought that would not be appealing to big publishers, but that is becoming less and less important in modern game development. Obsidian decided to fund the game via the Kickstarter route as opposed to seeking funding from a publisher so that they could be free from outside influence, allowing them to create a game that stayed true to the old-school style of RPG. Obsidian’s campaign was a massive success- it received over $1 million (their original funding goal) in the first 24 hours of being live. At the time, this was the largest amount of money funded for a video game. The game was funded by Kickstarter, raising just under $4 million. ![]() With POE, Obsidian hopes to “recapture the magic, imagination, depth, and nostalgia of classic RPGs.” An isometric-view RPG with tactical team-based combat, POE looks set to reinvigorate the archetypal RPG genre, and places heavy focus on the traditional Dungeons and Dragons style of role-playing game. The game takes cues from the classic PC RPGs such as Icewind Dale, Baldur’s Gate, and Planescape: Torment. Pillars Of Eternity is a CRPG currently in development by Obsidian Entertainment,the studio that’s responsible for Fallout:New Vegas, KOTOR, and Neverwinter Nights. ![]() And the tattoo artist here was supposed to be one of the best in the area.

I shifted on my knees, I could feel my juices starting to run down my thighs. It was a yummy sound that came through my nose. ![]() He didn't shove me down on his cock further like I thought he might, but he did start gyrating his hips and the motion helped me take just a bit more. ![]() He touched the back of my head, then ran his fingers through my hair.

I let it wash around in my mouth, joining my own spit before I poured it back over his chocolate fuckstick. I felt his hardness pulse in my hand and his saltly, creamy precum oozed onto my tongue – a fairly big glob of it. The dark crown was too enticing, though, I sucked it in. Now I wanted to take this big black cock straight down my throat and suck on it all day. I love my husband but I don't like sucking his dick. He gasped as I licked the head, swirling my tongue around it and wondering if I would be able to fit it in my mouth. His scent – a heady mixture of pheromones, sweat, and funk – filled my nostrils, driving my desire. The cock grew, rapidly, and I knelt before him. I stroked him, playing with his massive chest through his shirt with my free hand.
