![]() ![]() Stephen Hackett took the updated Pages for a spin and compared its digital book creation features to the existing iBooks Author app for Mac. In this context, we may see more app- or developer-related announcements over the next couple of weeks. With WWDC 2020 drawing ever closer, Apple is clearly trying to get any pre-announcements out of the way so the big show can focus on the future rather than the past. Hopefully this forthcoming update will also bring Pages’ book creation tools closer to feature parity with what currently exists in iBooks Author, but it’s possible that may not happen for some time. It will allow you to open and edit iBooks Author files (.iba) in Pages. If you have iBooks Author books you’d like to import into Pages, a book import feature is coming to Pages soon. Anyone who already owns the app will be able to continue using it, but Apple encourages everyone to move book creation to Pages. IBooks Author won’t receive any more updates and will become unavailable for download altogether as of July 1. Private content, on the other hand, is better suited for moving to Schoolwork. iBooks Author, similarly, has grown stagnant as many of its features have made their way into recent Pages updates.Īpple is recommending that publishers of public iTunes U content move their content over to Apple Podcasts or Apple Books, as appropriate. iTunes U has received minimal investment of late as Apple has redirected resources to its Classroom and Schoolwork platforms. While both announcements are noteworthy since they concern software with long histories, signs of these moves have been visible for years. Today through two new support pages that have been posted on Apple’s website, the company announced that iTunes U will be discontinued at the end of 2021 and iBooks Author will become unavailable much sooner: on July 1, 2020. That app will be supported until the end of 2021.IBooks Author will become unavailable soon. On a related note, Apple is also retiring iTunes U. (Plus, the fact that Apple never changed the apps name from iBooks Author to Books Author told us everything we needed to know about the app’s future.) Now that Apple has a browser-based publishing portal and a has added ebook creation features to Apple Pages, iBooks Author has mostly become redundant. If you have ?iBooks? Author books you’d like to import into Pages for further editing, we have a book import feature coming to Pages soon. You can continue to use ?iBooks? Author on macOS 10.15 and earlier, and books previously published to Apple Books will remain available. With key features such as the ability to work on iPad, collaborate with others on a shared book, draw with Apple Pencil, and more, Pages is a great platform for making books.Īs we focus our efforts on Pages, ?iBooks? Author will no longer be updated and will soon be removed from the Mac App Store. Two years ago we brought book creation into Pages. We have some news to share with you about the future of book creation. Thank you for being a member of the iBooks Author community. Apple is Discontinuing iBooks Author on 1 JulyĪpple sent out an email yesterday to iBooks Author users, informing them that the nine-year-old macOS app will be discontinued on 1 July, and removed from the App Store. ![]() ![]() You may find it easier to replace your brake pads in pairs, at the same time or you may find it easy to replace them separately.

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. She is happy with it and takes pride in the way her body radiates her inner beauty. In the last stanza, the speaker says that her head is unbowed as she accepts how she is. The themes of self-love and self-acceptance are there in this work. Rather her voice expresses her pride for being an attractive woman, not physically but mentally. She does not talk about her racial identity. Another important theme, identity, is explored from the perspective of gender. She celebrates not only her bodily beauty but also her inner glow.

![]() ![]() HHC is found naturally in hemp but only in trace amounts. It’s obtained in a similar process that margarine manufacturers use to harden vegetable oils using a process known as hydrogenation, or adding hydrogen atoms to the chemical structure to make it stable. HHC stands for hexahydrocannabinol, which is a hydrogenated form of THC. What makes HHC unique is its stability due to its high resistance to oxidation, heat, and UV light, so you don’t need to pay so much attention to storage as you do with cannabis buds.Īlthough we still know very little about HHC, its legality, and its potential applications, here’s what I gathered about this interesting cannabinoid. This is yet to be confirmed, so don’t take it as advice from me. It’s an analog of THC - similar to delta 8 THC - but according to anecdotal evidence, it doesn’t show up on drug tests. HHC is one of the hottest cannabinoids right now. But wherever you find it, it’s sure to be a preferred smoke of even the most discriminating pot snob.It seems like the last two years have been a fast race between manufacturers aimed at discovering new cannabinoids and inventing novel formulas to diversify the market.

Walker’s Daze was resurrected.ĭW Daze is a natural anti-depressant and an instant mood enhancer. This grower, known as Sirius Starboy, undertook the painstaking process of growing the plant from seed. Walker’s Daze was destined to remain in obscurity, an elite strain reserved for the most seasoned of chronnoisseurs, until one retiring pot enthusiast passed his collection on to a talented and well-respected grower. The final 10-pack of seeds was bought for a whopping-but-worth-it $800 on a seed-auction website.ĭr. Only a few seeds were ever produced from this sativa-dominant threesome, and somewhere around the end of 2006, they went on auction to the highest bidder.

It is meticulous and well worth obtaining. And while a perfect transcript is as likely as a flagpole bursting into bloom, the doyen of harp notation, Dave Barrett, has produced a beautiful score of the studio version, which is as close as it comes. ![]() While neither of the projects mentioned is pinpoint perfect, both provide a strong analysis for what is an intensely technical piece. Teaching this piece is a tall order, even for the most seasoned of harp tutors. By his third instalment, Adam realised the sheer magnitude of the task in hand. His five part entry on YouTube and his interview with Magic Dick are invaluable points of reference. Indeed the end stabs in Whammer Jammer correlate directly with Cotton’s version of ‘Rocket 88’.Īcknowledgment to those who have gone beforeĪ few years ago I discovered the semi-diagrammatic harp tab for Whammer Jammer on line compiled by Rick Barker. It was a ground breaking project and remains a useful resource for anyone investigating the song’s structure. Magic Dick himself maintains that, although he drew on both Walters when building his technique, James Cotton remained his biggest influence. Further analysis reveals influences from James Cotton ( Rocket 88) and Little Walter ( Back Track), to Big Walter Horton ( Hard Hearted Woman). He also quotes the jazz horn greats (John Coltrane in particular) as being of great influence on his own playing. It was an harmonica epiphany.įollowing the forensics, Magic Dick credits Sonny Boy Williamson II’s Bye Bye Bird as his inspiration for the opening to Whammer Jammer. With a set list that included Homework, Pack Fair and Square and Whammer Jammer, the connection should have been blindingly apparent. I was even unaware of the influence the J.Geils Band had on my favourite UK outfit, Nine Below Zero. Worse still, I’d never heard of their harp man Magic Dick (aka Juke Joint Jimmy), the man with the sexy name and the crazy mane, who blew the back off his harps like a deranged pyrotechnician. I had no idea the Centerfold band played weapon grade R&B. As the musical mayhem unfolded, my jaw dropped and I stared into space bewitched. Bluntly (being an Ozzie), he made it clear I was playing a Whammer Jammer derivative, and he duly produced his Full House LP to prove the point.ĭropping the vinyl on the turntable and grinning, he guided the stylus to track four. However, a friend brought me tumbling back to reality and landing firmly on my arse. Innocently, I believed I’d established myself at the pinnacle of power harping. My Whammer Jammer tale begins many years ago, when I learned what I assumed was a unique harp instrumental called Swing Job by Nine Below Zero. Key of A major ten hole diatonics harps at the ready. ![]() Like the lunar landing, or the fall of the Berlin Wall, every power harp fan can remember when and where they were first Whammered! So, it’s time to reminisce a little, do some research and then, with the help of modern technology, deconstruct the song for you. It is a power harping beast of the highest order. Originally recorded on the J.Geils Band studio album The Morning After in 1971, Whammer Jammer reappeared a year later on the classic live album Full House.
